We have certainly been somewhat asleep recently. With the 1:1 equipment this school year, we are now in the process of developing digitally in line with the times.
The school in Kerzers has undergone a cautious digital development lately. With the start of this school year, however, we have taken an important step into the future. With the implementation of the 1:1 concept, where every pupil has his or her own digital device, we are now on the way to becoming a contemporary digital school.
The decision to use tablets in the school was made for several reasons. Firstly, tablets are cheaper than traditional computers or laptops, which means that more devices can be made available to the pupils.
In addition, tablets offer user-friendly operation with an intuitive touchscreen interface that is easily accessible to younger students. They require less maintenance and can be used quickly, which increases the efficiency of teaching.
In addition, tablets offer a variety of applications and digital resources that extend the classroom and make learning more interactive. All in all, tablets are a practical and versatile solution to integrate digital technologies into the classroom and prepare students for the demands of the digital world.

Yes, we have taken out a service subscription. This all-round carefree package offers us a lot of flexibility in solving problems. The service is fast, efficient, and very accessible.
We do not (unfortunately) use any services in this area yet.
We use the MDM system FileWave to manage the iPad devices efficiently. With FileWave, they can be centrally managed, configured and monitored. It provides a user-friendly interface to enforce security policies, install and update applications, and synchronise content and settings. FileWave ensures efficient management of the iPad devices so that we can make the most of them.
From my perspective, the iPad is very much appreciated and often used by the staff as well as the students. There is definitely potential in terms of individualisation and creativity. It is our goal to take further steps in this direction.
Certainly not one hundred per cent, but technology is already having a strong influence on everyday school life. But it still depends on the people, especially the teachers, if, how and how often technology is used.
Not everyone was equally tech-savvy, which led to fears and uncertainties. Training and support were necessary to increase teachers' confidence in using technology in the classroom.
The Office suite and the Safari browser are among the most used apps. But other apps are also on the rise.
Very well. Now and then you have to remind them of the school rules, but on the whole it works very well. The devices are often used successfully in lessons, and it's hard to imagine life without them.
Our goal should be to constantly educate ourselves and to make the best use of the digital possibilities to further improve the quality of our teaching.
