We are pleased to inform you that teachers at Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin and Discovery middle schools and Vancouver iTech Preparatory are the first in the state who will use IBM’s Watson Classroom. This dynamic new software understands natural language, reasons, and learns to assist educators in supporting all students.

Watson Classroom is an IOS app that helps teachers make learning more personal and relevant for each student. The app has two components: Watson Element and Watson Enlight. They are powerful, web browser-based tools.

Watson Element provides key insights about each student—strengths, challenges, optimal learning styles, and more. Often, this information is stored in a variety of places that are not always easily accessible to teachers. With Element, a click of a button allows teachers to look at each student’s progress, personal interests and accomplishments.

Watson Enlight helps teachers closely monitor the learning cycle so that they can intervene early with targeted assistance when necessary. Enlight provides teachers a comprehensive view of academic progress along with resources to support each student’s growth. This tool can expand over time as Vancouver Public Schools adds its own resources to the Enlight library.

For more information on IBM Watson Education: www.ibm.com/watson/education.

The teachers at these schools are excited to pilot this emerging technology giving all of our students personalized learning experiences that prepare them to thrive in our globally connected economy and community.

Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin y Discovery middle schools y Vancouver iTech Preparatory y “ VPS” exploran una nueva tecnología

Nos complace informales que los maestros de Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin y Discovery middle schools y Vancouver iTech Preparatory son los primeros en el estado que usarán “IBM Watson Classroom”. Este nuevo y dinámico software entiende el lenguaje natural, razona y aprende para ayudar a los maestros a apoyar a todos los estudiantes.

“Watson Classroom” es una aplicación de “iOS” que ayuda a los maestros a hacer el aprendizaje más personal y relevante para cada estudiante. La aplicación tiene dos componentes: “Watson Element” y “Watson Enlight”. Estas son potentes herramientas basadas en el navegador del internet.

“Watson Element” proporciona información clave sobre cada estudiante—áreas fuertes, áreas de dificultad, estilos óptimos de aprendizaje y más. A menudo, esta información se almacena en una variedad de lugares que no siempre son fácilmente accesibles para los maestros. Con “Element”, al toque de un botón, los maestros pueden ver el progreso, los intereses personales y los logros de cada estudiante.

“Watson Enlight” ayuda a los maestros a monitorear de cerca el ciclo de aprendizaje para que puedan intervenir a tiempo, con asistencia específica cuando sea necesario. “Enlight” proporciona a los maestros una visión integral del progreso académico junto con recursos para apoyar el crecimiento de cada estudiante. Esta herramienta se puede expandir con el tiempo en la medida que las Escuelas Públicas de Vancouver agregan sus propios recursos a la biblioteca “Enlight”.

Para mayor información sobre “IBM Watson Education” visite: www.ibm.com/watson/education.

Los maestros en Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin y Discovery middle schools y Vancouver iTech Preparatory están entusiasmados de pilotear esta tecnología emergente que les brinda a todos nuestros estudiantes experiencias de aprendizaje personalizadas que los preparan para prosperar en nuestra economía y comunidad conectadas a nivel mundial.

Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin и Discovery middle schools и Vancouver iTech Preparatory и Ванкуверские государственные школы (VPS) осваивают новую компьютерную технологию

Мы рады проинформировать вас о том, что учителя в Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin и Discovery middle schools и Vancouver iTech Preparatory будут первыми в нашем штате, кто начнёт пользоваться программой IBM, которая называется «Watson Classroom». Эта динамичная новая программа понимает естественную речь, рассуждает логически и учится помогать учителям оказывать поддержку всем ученикам.

«Watson Classroom» является приложением для IOS, которое помогает учителям сделать обучение более индивидуализированным и значимым для каждого ученика. Это приложение на базе браузера имеет два эффективных компонента, «Watson Element» и «Watson Enlight»
«Watson Element» предоставляет ключевые результаты анализа данных о каждом ученике — сильные стороны, что представляется трудным, оптимальный стиль обучения и многое другое. Часто эта информация хранится таким образом, что учителя не всегда имеют к ней легкий доступ. С помощью этой программы учителя легко смогут получить информацию о прогрессе ученика, его личных интересах и достижениях.

«Watson Enlight» помогает учителям тщательно контролировать учебный цикл для того, чтобы они могли в случае необходимости вмешаться и оказать целенаправленную помощь. «Enlight» предоставляет учителям всестороннюю информацию об академической успеваемости, а также учебные ресурсы, необходимые для поддержки «роста» каждого учащегося. Этот аспект может со временем расширяться по мере того, как Ванкуверский школьный район будет добавлять в библиотеку программы «Enlight» свою собственную информацию о ресурсах.

Для получения дальнейшей информации об обучении с помощью программы IBM «Watson»: www.ibm.com/watson/education.

Учителя Fruit Valley Community Learning Center, Washington Elementary, McLoughlin и Discovery middle schools и Vancouver iTech Preparatory приветствуют возможность первыми начать пользоваться передовой компьютерной технологией, которая предоставляет всем нашим учащимся опыт индивидуализированного обучения, подготавливающего их к тому, чтобы преуспеть в нашей глобальной экономике и мировом сообществе.
