After the Kamešnica Elementary School in Otok, the 9th Gymnasium in Zagreb, the Fran Galović High School in Koprivnica, the 2nd Elementary School in Bjelovar, and the Antun and Stjepan Radić Elementary School in Gunja, the Popovača Elementary School has also joined the Classroom of the Future Project in Croatia. This is the sixth school to have a Classroom of the Future, which will enable interactive learning supported by the latest information technologies. This is a continuation of the joint project between the Croatian Academic and Research Network – CARNet and Samsung Electronics, with the support of the Ministry of Science, Education, and Sports.
The Popovača Elementary School is attended by 750 students from 10 neighborhoods in the town of Popovača. In addition to the central school, classes are also organized in five branch schools (Voloder, Osekovo, Gornja Jelenska, Potok, Stružec).
“The central and branch schools have a high-speed internet connection, which was the prerequisite for introducing the e-Class Register into the central and branch schools starting this school year. All classrooms in the central and branch schools are equipped with new, modern computers. Furthermore, the classrooms for subject teaching and the classrooms of the first four grades of elementary school are equipped with multimedia equipment, which significantly facilitates the work of teachers and students in mastering new content. Today, the school also acquired a new digital classroom, thanks to the efforts of the information science teachers who have worked on numerous projects and have been recognized for their work by the Croatian Academic and Research Network – CARNet and Samsung Electronics. The school actively participates in promoting the use of new technologies in schools in our region,” said Dražen Mlakar, principal of Popovača Elementary School.
