Jeonnam's "2030 Classroom" Revolutionizes Lessons, Ushering in a New Era

Meeting An Yongbok Through AI: Experiencing the History of Dokdo’s Defense
First Unveiling of the "Classroom Hotspot Guide Map" Created by Teachers

The Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 24th that it held an event to share the achievements of the 2030 Classroom initiative at the Suncheon Bay Ecological and Cultural Education Center during the "Early Childhood and Elementary 2030 Class Showcase."

This event was part of the "2025 Korea Glocal Future Education Mini Expo." More than 1,100 early childhood and elementary school staff, parents, and students participated, experiencing firsthand the future of education in Jeonnam and innovations in classroom instruction.

The most notable aspect of this event was the booths planned and operated directly by teachers. Emphasizing the message that "teachers are the agents of classroom change," the event highlighted the voluntary participation of educators.

The program featured a variety of formats, including: ▲ a special lecture titled "Fostering Student Initiative: Finding Answers Through Questions" ▲ a demonstration of the Early Childhood and Elementary 2030 Classroom model and lessons ▲ a 2030 Classroom and 2030 International Education Exchange talk concert ▲ demonstrations of AI-based classes and real-time international connection classes ▲ and the release of the "Classroom Hotspot Guide Map."

In particular, a recreated lesson featuring teacher An Yongbok utilizing AI technology drew significant attention. This lesson, presented by a "2030 Classroom Teacher," used artificial intelligence to bring to life An Yongbok, a symbolic figure in the defense of Dokdo, and facilitated interactive communication with students.

An Yongbok, who lived during the reign of King Sukjong in 17th-century Joseon, is remembered for historically establishing that the island called "Usando" is present-day Dokdo. This lesson was recognized as an innovative attempt to reinterpret a historical figure using modern educational technology.

Additionally, the "Classroom Hotspot Guide Map" was unveiled for the first time at the event. This guide map provides an overview of the various lesson brands created by teachers in Jeonnam.

This map is not a showcase of any individual teacher's achievements, but rather the result of collective efforts by teachers who have learned from each other, collaborated, and grown together, making its significance even greater.

Throughout the venue, various programs were offered, including ▲ digital play activities ▲ ecological and environmental education ▲ and local community-linked experiences. In particular, the use of an "AR-based participatory game app" increased engagement among teachers and parents, actively fostering participation and communication within the educational community.

Kim Byungnam, Director of Early Childhood and Elementary Education, stated, "This event is the result of collaboration and growth among Jeonnam teachers," adding, "The 2030 Classroom will serve as an important milestone leading the transformation of education in Jeonnam."
