On December 2020, 12, Saitama Institute of Technology collaborated with the Yoshikawa City Board of Education, Saitama Prefecture, and the Saitama Minami Branch of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation (NTT East) to conduct a demonstration experiment of distance learning using SINET (Academic Information Network) *. Cooperated with.Three teachers from Saitama Institute of Technology gave a distance lesson to the children of Asahi Elementary School in Yoshikawa City and explained their expertise in programming and manufacturing.
This empirical experiment is based on the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's research project "Advanced technology introduction empirical research project in learning in a new era".Saitama Institute of Technology is working with NTT East, which is working to sort out various requirements for elementary and secondary education schools to connect to SINET and the benefits of using SINET, and Yoshikawa City, which will complete the ICT environment for each terminal by the end of FY2020. Collaboration between university and industry, government and academia. We are working toward the realization of "learning that maximizes the power of children."
On the day, we connected to the learning contents of Saitama Institute of Technology from Asahi Elementary School in Yoshikawa City via SINET. The first period is "Computer Programming" by Associate Professor Daiki Ando of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the second period is "Let's play with Microbit" by Associate Professor Tomohiro Matsuda of the Basic Education Center, and the third period is Associate Professor Naoki Kawada of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Three faculty members from Saitama Institute of Technology gave a distance lesson with the professor's "Shaping Ideas: Experience Learning of Manufacturing".
