Egling is preparing for a digital future: the community has now equipped the elementary school with a number of tablets, boards and notebooks.
Egling
- The Eglingen primary school students are now well prepared for the digital future.
The community donated eight interactive boards, 34 tablets, seven notebooks and matching document cameras - the successors to the overhead projectors.
The devices have a total value of 61,000 euros, with the majority being financed by the Free State as part of the “Digitalpakt Schule” program.
The community has a contribution of 8400 euros.
Mayor Hubert Oberhauser recently symbolically handed over the brand new equipment to headmistress Sigrid Prommer.
Two interactive boards, also known as whiteboards, are already in the classrooms.
The rest are still to be delivered and installed.
With the help of these boards it is possible that both the teachers project the lesson content there and the students show their assignments there.
Right next to the modern boards are the good, old, green slates.
“Sometimes you just prefer to work with chalk,” says Prommer.

The tablets are also there for the children to take home with them in the case of homeschooling if they don't have their own.
From the first to the fourth grade, all primary school students are equipped with the new media.
"Most of them can handle it pretty well anyway," says Prommer.
It has paid off for Oberhauser that the community had a fiber optic cable laid to the school in 2018 so that teachers and students have access to fast internet.
