The stretch along these two roads creates advantages for the school’s architecture in organizing a lively educational architectural ensemble including many clusters of works for different levels based on the psychology of ages from system from preschool to high school. The design was made from discussions with the educational organization to find a solution for the classroom – a basic and important module for the architectural ensemble to optimize teaching and learning. Light is brought into the classroom in long openings on the wall in areas where the sun gives pleasant light, and it is these openings that also create continuous connections with the vast natural area outside. , where unique landmarks within the context’s ensemble can be observed. The outdoor living and learning courtyards are interwoven in a way that complements the respective inner classrooms. A large and round garden is located in the middle of the preschool architectural block, surrounded by classrooms, function rooms and a large lobby area for children to have a comfortable gathering while playing together. when the gardens open horizontally horizontally are the wide yards reserved for primary and secondary level. Connecting between these two large and long courtyards are functional areas for learning along with a large cafeteria; multi-function hall concurrently with sports activities and indoor performances; art, creative and exhibition rooms… are organized to optimize movement and operation so that learning-related activities take place continuously. In order to adapt to the typical hot and sunny climate of Tay Ninh land, the design team applies the possibilities that can be brought from the corridors moving between rooms and between blocks. These corridors both function and form large terraces that provide pleasant buffers for indoor and outdoor activities, as well as cover and shade for outside activities. outside of classes. With flexible lines that soften the architectural backdrop for activities, these large verandas represent a continuous flow of learning energy that is connected across levels in the complex. . The sprawling feature of the terrain also creates a lively dialogue between the living areas around the gardens – through the center of the road – with the daily activities of households on the other. In the gardens, the space between the houses and the other side is the learning activities of children and students in the garden spaces that open and close flexibly between the classrooms.

Prioritize the location with natural light, the perfect direction is the window view. Let’s start by choosing the viewing angle for the desk. Prioritize the location with natural light, the perfect direction is the window view. However, if you do not have the conditions, you can choose the corner of the room so that you can take advantage of the decor on both walls. “Minimalist” desk What should appear on the table is a laptop, a writing box and a desk lamp.

Books, papers and stationery should be grouped and stored on shelves, baskets or in wooden crates with unimportant, rarely used documents. Ceramic vases can be used to store stationery, which is both economical and beautiful. Book display space The secret to displaying books and magazines is to categorize them by category. The secret to displaying books and magazines is to categorize them by category. Each category selects only the best, most frequently used books to put on shelves. Each group of books and newspapers will be spaced by a picture frame or a small flower pot. This is both aesthetically pleasing and makes you feel more interested in reading than looking at shelves with layers of books. Unification The synchronization always brings a sense of luxury and professionalism Creating unity in decor using storage boxes, records and accessories with the same color. Use color to categorize documents Create more space by categorizing documents, each group of documents is contained in similar color and texture covers, each with clearly labeled labels that will make you search.

There is an area for important documents that need to be addressed immediately and labeled by urgency. Convenient trash can location Avoid stacking trash on the table or throwing it on the floor. A good workspace is when you don’t need to look but can still throw trash and bins, avoiding the situation of stacking garbage on the table or throwing it on the floor.

These two male students chose the back wall of the class to draw a miniature picture of Paris city including the city center, the bridge over the canal and indispensable Eiffel Tower (the symbol of Paris). It is known that Viet Anh and Dinh Thang came up with the idea of ​​​​drawing this picture to help people have a new space in learning. At first, the two boys only thought of drawing a corner of Paris, but the wall was too big, so they drew the whole city in miniature. To complete this colorful and demanding picture, it took both male students 14 hours to draw, aligning each corner so that it was neither redundant nor lacking on the wall. Both of them proceeded to paste the paper on the wall before drawing, so the school allowed it. It is expected that, after the end of the school year, the two boys will take it down and return the classroom space to its original size. Let’s see the series of photos check-in with “miniature Paris” created by the skillful hands of Viet Anh and Dinh Thang! Going to school feels like I’m in Europe!

Introduction: From the previous generation of product electronic schoolbags to the current smart classroom industry, it has been ten or eight years, but this industry has not been very strong. Even in the near future, there are several incidents in Jiaxing, Bengbu, and the National Education Supervision Group. Controversies and policy pressures on this type of product are on the rise. What are the reasons?

Some time ago, I saw the point of view of a practitioner who believed that the chaotic nature of the smart classroom industry is because there has not yet been a product that can formulate industry standards and national standards.

But I think this concept is too easy to come up with, and it cannot be said to be wrong. Almost any industry can say the same before there are giants. I think this may be a fact, but it is not the whole fact. I think that thinking about this problem should be divided into horizontal and vertical. Of course, we must look at the problems of smart classroom products and the industry itself. Horizontally, we must see the differences between smart classrooms and other teaching information products.

Although the current smart classroom product forms include PAD, paper and pen, handwriting board, and feedback device (clicker), I think that except for the PAD end, other solutions are only used to solve the price problem of the PAD or the replacement of the screen problem. The plan is just a spare tire. Therefore, only the smart classroom on the PAD side will be discussed here.

The smart classroom industry can be subject to such a big controversy, and it can even be said to be the most popular product in the current teaching informatization (even the school information and communication industry feels that it has entered a plateau). I think it must be caused by a combination of many aspects. I will consider the following To decompose this problem in several dimensions:

1. Policy/concept level 1. Educational equity

   Smart classroom products are all students’ hands-on terminals, and objectively speaking, they can only be divided into flat classes, but this violates the principle of education fairness to a certain extent. But I think this issue is definitely not the most important, because we have too many ways to break education fairness.

   Various experimental classes, Beijing No. 4 Middle School/Chengdu No. 7 Middle School Online School, recording and broadcasting and even all three classrooms, as long as they are not implemented in the whole school at least for the whole year, education is equally unfair. From a horizontal comparison, I think education equity is certainly not the most important factor.

2. Children’s vision protection

I think this is relatively important because of policies, not social concepts. Myopia is really a very complicated problem. Looking at the electronic screen is only one of the factors. Now children are forced to stay up late at night to do homework, not exercise, and play with mobile phones. The impact may be greater than the time in the smart classroom.

Even to say something rebellious, children’s eyesight is never the most worrying issue for parents. As long as the education volume is serious enough, competition and pressure for entering higher education will be there. Don’t parents know that having so many cram schools a day is an overuse of their eyes? But is myopia important or is it important to go to school?

Of course, this seems a bit quibble. I don’t think it has no effect, but the vision problem must not be solved by the extinction wisdom classroom. I even hope that someone in the industry will do statistics. What is the proportion of myopia in the class that uses the smart classroom and the class that is not used, I believe there is not much difference.

1. Product price 1. Politics and procurement

   Generally speaking, we are not sensitive to the price of government procurement products, and the price of education informatization is almost outrageous compared with product prices in other markets. I haven’t felt it is a problem for so many years. But in the smart classroom industry, this is indeed a problem.

   From collective equipment to personal equipment, a substantial increase in the number is very difficult to achieve with the current investment in education funds. Therefore, many people in the industry believe that it is really hard to imagine what kind of support will be required to rely on the government to directly pay the bills, so they can only adopt the parent-paid model.

2. Parents pay

   In the two incidents in Jiaxing and Bengbu, the media repeatedly emphasized that the price of this smart classroom tablet was too outrageous, selling for 6,000 or 7,000.

   On the other hand, why is this tablet at this price? Are these manufacturers all black-hearted manufacturers without exception, and no one in the industry has a conscience? I don’t think so. I think there are two important factors that cause this price problem:

   I think this problem is very serious at present. In fact, it is not that no manufacturers have tried to break this transaction structure, but any reform, whether it is right or wrong, will always be obstructed by the old forces. To solve this problem, supply-side reforms and business model updates may be needed.

   It is more politically incorrect to say that after all these years, how has “education corruption” ever been mentioned on paper.

3. Dimensions of customer success: derived from the SAAS industry 1. Lack of the concept of customer success

   The concept of customer success was born in the United States. At present, the domestic SAAS industry is also widely used. I quote this concept to explain the problem of “satisfying customer goals”. The essence is the school level.

   It is very interesting that the SAAS industry has a basic understanding that when the number of customers comes up, it cannot rely on the customer success manager, and the whole industry is getting bigger and bigger, and the user perception is built up, and this dependence will naturally be weakened. But in the field of smart classrooms, the establishment of customer awareness is too slow.

   To be honest, product dusting is not the ill of smart classrooms, it is the ills of the entire education informatization and education equipment industry. There are so many products that schools use once or twice a year.

   I personally think that this problem is difficult to solve. It has something to do with the management structure of the school, the way teachers are hired, social status, etc. They have no motivation and sense of crisis to make progress, and can only rely on the personal pursuit of the principal and regional managers. , Even the pursuit of political achievement.

   As a result, the nonsense of “No service can’t be used” has been acquiesced in the entire industry.

4. Teacher’s personal questions 1. Some teachers’ acceptance of new technology/products

   Here is a quote from Douglas Adams’s three laws of science and technology:

   What is interesting is the teachers of K12, the average age of these 11-12 million people is 32-35 years old. There is quite a large group of people, and their acceptance of any new things, especially new technologies (which is new to them) is naturally very low.

   It doesn’t matter whether the product or technology is good or not, nor does it matter whether he has this need, but his notion that he is just a living being like a human being.

5. Smart classrooms are not being used in the whole school and the whole year

   This in itself seems to be a school reason, but why I put this into the teacher’s personal problem, because it will cause two factors that weigh on the teacher and make it very difficult for him to use the smart classroom:

   The teacher himself is just a wage earner (forget about the moral kidnapping of the engineer of the soul, the income is there, let’s talk about the affordability of a house), he needs to use a product to have an effect. Smart classroom cannot be said to be ineffective. I think the value of improving the classroom atmosphere is very high.

   But how can this effect be obvious to the teacher, and even more utilitarianly, how can I be able to go to work and fish and complete the work, how can I show it in the PPT, and how can I relate to performance? At this point, I feel that the smart classroom products have not been clearly thought out. At the simplest level, this is at least an “efficiency” issue.

   The above is my summary of the current ills in the smart classroom industry or products.

   The fact that an industry can develop to its current state and produce such a big controversy may not necessarily be caused by a single point of issue. On the other hand, solving any single-point problem is not enough to spur the rapid development of this industry.It is very difficult to establish a comprehensive understanding of this industry. I hope that

This is also the first school to replicate the model of “celebrity classrooms”, which students have researched, designed and implemented to understand the tradition of the school.To now, Ngo Quyen School has 16 “classrooms. celebrity”.

Classrooms are fitted with nameplates at the door: “Classroom in the name of Nguyen Van Linh”, “Classroom in the name of Van Cao” … Classrooms with names of celebrities will be decorated with pictures, documents and records. objects and autographs of that celebrity are collected, presented and designed by students.

Female student Nguyen Thi Thuy Duong, an excellent student receiving scholarships from 10 top US universities with a value of nearly 3.5 billion VND, is also an alumnus of this school.
