As schools are required to focus on efficiency, the first changes to the classroom are starting to be seen
Published: 09 November, 2009
The Audit Commission believes that schools can save £400 million a year by being more efficient. One company has responded by developing a low-tech student-centred approach which is delivering remarkable results. An example of this is a biology lesson which focuses on the body's internal organs. Traditional schools have a skeleton at the front of the class for students to come out and place organs in what they think is the correct place. Ellison have developed a machine that allows teachers to produce cut-out skeletons using dies. And, of course, it is not just skeletons and organs that can be produced. Models can be made of dodecahedrons, the solar system, 3-D and movable animals, dinosaurs, the list goes on. 0871 222 2277 Related articles:
