Located in Madrid, the
Caldeiro Foundation School is a state-funded school with over a century of experience. Founded in 1906 by notary Manuel Caldeiro and managed by the Congregation of the Capuchin Tertiaries of Our Lady of Sorrows, it is part of the Amigonian Schools network and offers preschool, primary, secondary, and high school education. With a comprehensive approach, it promotes students' physical, sensory, intellectual, emotional, and social development.
According to Miguel Angel Ramos, the center's ICT Coordinator, over the last six years, they have undergone a profound technological modernization. Network integration, advanced connectivity, computer labs, robotics, 3D printing, and specialized spaces for radio and photography have been some of the key advances. Additionally, they have integrated Clevertouch interactive monitors in classrooms from fifth grade through high school, with the support of the technology consulting firm
Foredu and the supplier
Charmex .
The implementation of these solutions highlights centralized management and controlled access via NFC. Thanks to this technology, "teachers can log in to any monitor in the school and maintain their work environment: that is, their ecosystem of personal applications and files," the school emphasizes.
Each user has an NFC card configured with their credentials, facilitating immediate access to any Clevertouch monitor with their main CleverLive account. This optimizes time and improves the user experience in the classroom.
Impact on methodology and teacher training The introduction of interactive monitors has had a positive impact on teaching methodology. To ensure their effectiveness, training has been provided at all levels, supported by Foredu and Charmex, allowing teachers to adapt and explore new teaching methods. "The teaching methodology has become more dynamic and creative, enriching the students' educational experience," explains the ICT Coordinator. Before this transformation, the school had outdated equipment, projectors, and whiteboards that presented visibility and overheating issues. Furthermore, the network infrastructure was not optimized, leading to frequent disconnections and Wi-Fi coverage issues. The technological upgrade has resolved these issues, providing a more efficient environment adapted to current needs.
