EDUCATION

Digital Technology as a development tool for Education

The City of Issy-les-Moulineaux devotes a significant budget to the construction and renovation of educational facilities. Its educational policy supports the provision of quality school, cultural, sports and leisure services for every child in Issy. The City wishes to ensure that every child and young person has an equal opportunity in terms of schooling, but also in their personal fulfilment.

The city hosts 19 kindergartens (2,600 pupils) ans 16 primary school (3,600 pupils), 5 middle schools(2,400 pupils) and 2 high school (1,400 pupils). Education represents nearly 15% of the Municipality budget.

Schools' IT technology investments account for 40% of the City's budget. All the schools have high speed internet access and each classroom has at least one computer. A server allowing networking cooperation between teachers and an ever more efficient internet filtering were installed in each school.
In 2010, more than 200 new computers and printers have been handed over to the schools. Two thirds of the computer equipment and the totality of the printers has thus been renewed in the schools of Issy.

The average number of computers per class is as high as 2.5 in primary schools and 1.5 in kindergartens. Some schools are equipped with multimedia classrooms. 7 primary schools have a mobile classroom (16 Laptops, including one for the teacher, a video projector and a laser printer all linked through WiFi) which allows for interactive activities with the pupils. Aware of the importance of technology, the City installed the new computer tools required for the success of the youth.

EN SAVOIR PLUS



Microsoft Innovative School Programme
Microsoft was looking for "innovative schools" ready to reflect on their teaching methods and the place of new technologies in education. Issy-les-Moulineaux therefore came to an agreement with the Chartreux school.
This school tested a new model of mobile classroom using slate-type PC with built-in web cam. These touch screen PCs are very user friendly and can be used like a slate or a digital blackboard*. Two interactive digital blackboards have also been installed: one in the 1st and 2nd year of primary school classrooms and one in the 3rd to 5th year of primary school classrooms. More than 10,000 children are attending one of the various schools in Issy-les-Moulineaux.
