[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 10th that it held the ‘2022 Online Content Utilization Textbook Leading School Workshop’ for 50 teachers and supervisors in charge of leading schools selected in 2022 at the Hidden Bay Hotel in Yeosu.

At the workshop, participants listened to the overall policy including the purpose and detailed projects of the leading schools from Suji Lee, a senior researcher at the Korea Education and Research Information Service, and had time to present last year’s leading school operation cases and discuss opinions from the school field.

The ‘Online Content Utilization Textbook’ refers to educational materials created using various online contents, characterized by teachers selecting, editing, and reorganizing content themselves to apply in classes according to students’ interests and levels, regardless of time and place.

This year, 15 schools (13 elementary schools, 2 middle schools) were selected and operated as ‘Online Content Utilization Textbook Leading Schools,’ receiving a total support of about 1 billion KRW, including 440 million KRW in national funds.

The Office of Education guided that more than 95% of the project funds provided to the leading schools should be used to purchase smart devices for students, and emphasized online-offline linked classes where teachers directly apply the textbooks they created.

Ko Gwang-jin, Director of the Future Talent Division, said, “Now, future-oriented teaching and learning linked online and offline based on teachers directly creating and utilizing textbooks is being requested,” and added, “Textbooks made directly by teachers are expected to provide both fun and learning to our Jeonnam students living in the post-COVID era.”
