No more pencils, no more books; pilot project tries new era of teaching
Haaretz - February 16, 2005
The pencil cases of students in class 5-G at the Torah-science school in
Yavneh contain a single pencil and an eraser. "It's for English, because
we're not yet studying it on computer," explains one student, Liron
Ohayon.
As it turns out, the English teacher just can't get used to the new
system. Liron and his 23 classmates study all the rest of their
subjects on laptops, one per child. No papers, no textbooks, no
notebooks, no copying from the blackboard. Whatever their teacher, Ezri
Mehatzri, wants to transmit to the students he does over the network, at
the touch of a button. All the students have to do is open the
appropriate file.
5-G is one of five classes throughout the country selected by the
Davidson Institute of Science Education at the Weizmann Institute of
Science to participate in a pilot project, in which they will continue
using their laptops through the 12th grade.
