Education Digital Imaging
Welcome to CASIO Education UK!
Casio Education is delighted to launch the Digital Imaging Programme for Schools as part of its commitment to CSR, designed to raise achievement levels across the curriculum.
The programme was prompted by research conducted last year which shows that pupils, particularly boys, are more likely to learn, understand and remember their subjects if they record visual representations of them with a digital camera.
Commencing in October 2004 and concluding at the end of this academic year (June 2005), the project aims to show how these images taken by Casio digital imaging can be used in conjunction with pupils' written notes to make learning more varied, effective and fun.
The ten schools on the programme span across the UK and were chosen for their strengths within the visual arts:
Astor College for the Arts, Dover |
 |
|
|
| Charles Edward Brooke School, London |
|
|
|
| Chenderit School , Banbury |
|
|
|
| Holly Lodge Girls' College, Liverpool |
|
|
|
| Icknield High School , Arts College , Luton |
|
|
|
| Lord Lawson of Beamish, County Durham |
|
|
|
| Queen's Park High School , Chester |
|
|
|
| South Dartmoor Community College , Devon |
|
|
|
| Watford Grammar School for Girls, Watford |
|
|
|
| Welling School , Kent |
|
|

Each school has been awarded a set of Casio Digital Cameras and other relevant support to carry out projects which show the effect that digital imaging has on the learning process. The projects are designed for pupils at secondary level education and have been individually chosen by the schools to cover a number of areas within the curriculum ranging from Dance and PE to creative writing and media. Each will be carried out within this academic year.
Stephen Kean from Casio would like to welcome these schools onto the programme and encourage them to send artwork created on their project with Casio digital cameras.
Tomoki Sato, Deputy Managing Director of Casio commented: “Casio is extremely pleased to support such an innovative project that is all about raising pupils' achievement levels. We are delighted that schools are extending their use of Casio technology from calculators and keyboards to digital cameras which can be used all across the curriculum”.
