Students get interactive on the web

BARDEJOV: In a Vinbarg Basic School classroom in this north-eastern Slovak city, a sign hangs on the wall: 'The interactive classroom will connect Vinbarg Community to the world'.Today the school is connected. Thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers and a large donation by the US Peace Corps, what was once a barren classroom is now Bardejov's first interactive classroom, complete with two new computers with internet access, a CD player and a copy machine."We have created a viable and functioning resource centre which will help students learn more about the internet and the world, and will also help teachers better prepare for their lessons because they now have all necessary materials and resources within their reach," said Jozef Barborík, a Vinbarg teacher.
