Varied experiences for students

It also enables the administrators to develop a seamless system of management, one that facilitates timely communications between students, teachers, administrators and parents.

Even though American School of Bombay is designed in a rather USA style, the settings are primarily Indian. The community of teachers and students are from 40 countries and this enables our students to have rich and varied experiences

Efficiency through digital tools

Currently the school has deployed technologies like: Google Apps, Windows Live@Edu, Adobe Connect, Destiny, Dropbox, Discovery and Safari Video Streaming. Every student at ASB has their own laptop or device. Games based learning and social technologies are just some of the many tools being researched at the moment and will be used in the future.

Such tools enable the teachers to improve classroom delivery It has generally been seen that the learning in digitised classrooms is more collaborative and interesting. A digital curriculum is more equipped to engage the attention of the students. The students are able to gain a better understanding of the concepts and they retain it for longer periods of time.

Deployment of digital technologies

The educational material used for classroom delivery is lodged in a server from where teachers can access the repository of multimedia content provided by Edurite.

Importance of digital technology

In the current scenario, it has become imperative for schools to apply Information and Communication Technology inside the classrooms. ICT supplements the teacher’s presentation and makes it more effective. The systems developed by IE Concepts have helped the school in developing cost-effective educational projects for our students. Ever since the installation of these systems, our teachers have more room to design and update their own curriculum material for final presentation in the classrooms. The technology being used is quite simple, and the devices are very user friendly. All the teachers in the school are comfortable with using the system. There is no recurring expenditure entailed in the hardware. It is a low cost module. Only simple maintenance and the content development are required. A teacher’s sense of creativity is automatically kindled when he or she has access to a technology that makes it so easy to create new content. It kindles the creativity of the teacher if he has the chance to develop content suitable for students in various classes. Currently we are having Multimedia Classrooms with LCD TVs. We also have English Language Labs. In near future, we plan to deploy a range of interactive tools. Every student in the school has access to computers. We also make use of a number of websites on the Internet that are well known repositories of education related multimedia content.

Vision For Future
Our aim is to provide comprehensive education on the lines of “New Education Policy” with special emphasis on helping our students to grow into valuable citizens in service of their country,
