Your school is equipped with modern infrastructure and facilities but walls in the corridors, classrooms are the same old 19th century style blank and expressionless. It is time to think like the 21st century school, transform to the smarter wall and change the way teachers teach and students learn.
Why should we only have boards for teachers in the classroom to write? Have you thought about why children should not have the freedom to express in the classroom other than notebooks and verbal discussions? There is innovation in learning spaces and around the school design buildings and so much more, yet the freedom to learn and express is missing in our schools. The focus of attention every day remains on 5 by 5 feet black or whiteboard.
A small change can bring a big difference in learning environment of the schools. The functional walls or writable walls in the schools can be the answer to the boring teacher led classrooms and long plain corridors of the school.
“The UNICEF recognizes the need to utilise the Building As Learning Aid (BaLA) it entails physical spaces such as classroom walls, door, tables, corridors, outdoor spaces and natural environment as learning resources.”
