Digital upgrade in the classrooms

The primary school has improved its digital equipment.

The community has purchased the appropriate equipment and installed the required presentation technology in the classrooms.

The use of mobile devices such as tablets in the classrooms has now become part of the classroom.

Moorenweis - There was a lot of discussion about the digital equipment of the primary school.

The basis for successful digitization is a school's fast internet connection, which is often not taken into account in the discussion.

The municipality of Moorenweis has made sure that this problem is a thing of the past.

The Moorenweis elementary school has been connected to the modern fiber optic network since autumn.

Fiber optic connection laid

This is an important step for headmistress Petra Rohleder and mayor Joseph Schäffler: Before that there was a copper connection and that was simply too slow.

Streaming films was only possible to a limited extent.

Even visiting more complex websites took forever.

All of this made everyday life difficult for the teachers.

At the same time, the digital equipment of all classrooms was carried out and Microsoft Teams was introduced.

A prerequisite for this is a fast information superhighway.

Rohleder and Schäffler are convinced that "we are increasing the speed of the school and would like to help ensure that it picks up speed in the digital fast lane towards the future."

It is the social task to teach students the ability to take responsibility for themselves and to have a say in society.

In a world shaped by media, this also includes the responsible use of digital media.

The fast Internet will also be a decisive step for the future of teaching at the Moorenweis elementary school beyond Corona.

80 percent of the better digital equipment was financed through subsidies from the Free State of Bavaria.
