Case Study: Novosibirsk Gymnasium School 10 boosts student engagement and participation in large classes with SMART Technologies' SMART Board interactive whiteboards

Novosibirsk Gymnasium School 10 integrated interactive whiteboards to address the challenges of larger classrooms

Novosibirsk Gymnasium School 10, a 980‑student school in Novosibirsk, Russia, struggled to engage large classes (up to 30 students) using TVs and traditional tech that offered poor visibility and limited interactivity. The school sought audiovisual tools to personalize instruction, boost student engagement, and build ICT proficiency.

In September 2006 the school installed four SMART Board interactive whiteboards, giving teachers large, multimedia, touch‑interactive displays and software to address different learning styles. As a result students can see and interact with lessons, participation and attention have increased, grades have improved, and parents and teachers report higher engagement and enthusiasm for classwork.
