“Imagine a school without racism. A school with courage.” That’s the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium. It stands as a beacon of revolutionary values.
Since 1903, the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium has been an integral part of the Velbert school landscape. Later, it was named after Sophie and Hans Scholl. They were iconic anti-war activists. They founded the White Rose. This was an intellectual group. It encouraged citizens to resist the Nazi regime.
The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium is internationally recognized. It has a noble mission. The school achieved certification as a “Europe school”. It gained German Government sponsorship. This was for its educational advancements.
The school wanted to match its forward-thinking curriculum with future-ready technology. It stepped away from traditional chalkboards. It moved away from overhead projectors. The school envisioned a complete digital overhaul. It wanted to inspire its students. It sought immersive experiences and limitless connectivity.
The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium partnered with PPDS for a complete digital transformation. They used products from Philips, Vogel’s, SmartMetals, Logitech, and MDT. Wide parts of the school were upgraded. Chalkboards were replaced with oversized Philips T-Line interactive displays. These enabled collaborative learning. Students now use multi-media content. They use freehand input directly on the display with whiteboard mode.
Philips T-Line displays were placed outside each classroom. They show the room name, lesson, teacher, and other information. The school was strategically fitted with Philips D-Line and Q-Line displays. All students and teachers have access to live information at all times. A custom CMS controls all displays. It allows for automatic and manual updates from a central location.
Lesson management has been digitized. It utilizes i3LEARNHUB learning software. This enables better control. It also provides cloud-based access for distance learning. Students and teachers can interact with the displays. They use their personal devices during lessons. This creates a more immersive experience.
Interactive lessons are now possible. Philips T-Line enables teachers and students to collaborate. They use multi-touch technology. They use advanced connectivity from multiple sources. These include personal devices. Vital classroom information is dynamically displayed outside each room. This enables greater room scheduling versatility. It allows faster class efficiency. Content is created and deployed from a central location. It’s pushed across all displays or selected units. The i3LEARNHUB learning software enables on-site and distance learning in real-time. This happens across all displays at the Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium.
The Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium stands as a testament to courage. It embraces innovation. It prepares students for a brighter future. Remember this school. It is a place where learning knows no bounds. It is a place where every student can thrive.
