Jointly launched with Taiwan Technology Leadership and Instructional Technology Development Association (TTLITDA) in 2015, the "Smarter Education Movement" is an educational public welfare program that aims to implement modern teaching philosophy such as student-centered learning, cooperative learning, multi-assessment, data-based decision-making, and one-to-one teaching based on the individual's ability. The program has assisted the development of smarter teachers and teacher professional development, and has won the "Top 100 Choice of Innovative Education" of "CommonWealth Parenting".

The program is a school district and school-based program, empowering teacher teams and using smarter teaching systems to nurture tens of thousands of more perfect future talents. To date, the project has received enthusiastic support from more than 3,000 schools worldwide, helping nearly 20,000 teachers to achieve smart classroom teaching.

The times are innovating, education is also changing; therefore, we must try to find out the difference between students. Education is not to inject a bucket of water, but to ignite the fire of students to discover the needs of students, to create the greatest value for each student, and even to look forward to standing at the beginning of the child’s dream, showing the love and respect of education. 

Wu Yufen Teacher from Longshan High School, Taipei City

I have been using PPT for a long time, but I always feel that it is not flexible enough to give instant feedback. I started to understand it deeply when a study teacher shared this excellent activity with me. It is not difficult to bring it into the classroom,  all that is needed is for teachers to take the first step and be willing to change. I see the concentration in children's eyes and the atmosphere in the class has changed with the positive feedback from groups. I believe this is a trend and a choice as well! So I support the public program “Smarter Education Movement”.

Lai Yinian Teacher from Sanyi High School, Miaoli County

The two things which are most easily forgotten in life are your umbrella and your original intention. It is very easy to notice when your umbrella is lost, while the original intention is hard to be discovered once lost it. "Educational Service" is not an umbrella for rain, it also isn’t something that we can buy from the convenience store. It depends on the teacher to pass on life experience and to ignite the original intention of education. So I support the public program “Smarter Education Movement”.

 

Crossing 1000 kilometers, helping more than 1,200 students

The lack of educational resources, stable teachers, and cultural incentives in rural areas can easily lead to the insufficient academic ability of students. Therefore, the "Remote Language Teaching Hope Program" was launched together by TTLITDA and the "Taiwan Literacy Teaching Research Association", and supported by HABOOK Group. The program has assisted 13 elementary schools and high schools in rural areas, and a total of 16 classes have set up a distance 1+1 smarter classroom to help about 1,200 students develop their reading interest and their language skills.

The program has established an ongoing distance smart alliance to link the educational resources of urban and rural areas and conducted remote counseling, research, teaching, and exchange under TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom to enhance the overall education strength in rural areas. It not only helps the children in rural areas improve their reading comprehension, but also enables teachers from all over the world to achieve professional growth through the exchange. This program has won the "Taiwan 100" of "Global Views Educational Foundation" as an excellent project.

HABOOK Group has long supported the Taiwan Technology Leadership and Instructional Technology Development Association, a national social organization founded on March 17, 2012. The association is composed of experts in the fields of educational research, teaching practice, educational leadership, technology teaching, etc., and has accumulated a rich of achievements and experiences over the past ten years. The association received the Gold Award for Public Contribution Service awarded by the Ministry of the Interior in 2021.

A magnitude 8 earthquake occurred in Sichuan in 2008, causing more than 100,000 casualties. This earthquake also shattered the hope of many children to go to school. Wenchuan has still been in an area with relatively scarce resources till today.

In 2013, Chengdu Normal University proposed the UGSE (University–Government-School-Enterprises) collaborative innovation model. This program uses the advantages of "government support, school-enterprise cooperation, mutual benefit, and resource sharing", and cooperated with HABOOK Group to donate millions of equipment for public welfare and to build TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom for Wenchuan. It connected Wenchuan II Elementary School and Chengdu ELDU Experimental Primary School, Ziteng Campus which enabled the teachers of Ziteng Campus to normalize distance-smarter teaching, so that they could use this to introduce Chengdu's rich teaching resources to further improve the predicament due to the lack of stimulation and teachers, and to narrow the gap of education inequality. Let TEAM Model plant the seeds of hope in the minority areas successfully and soon bloomed.

 

 
In order to support the Jiangbei, Ningbo areas to implement the public welfare policy of unimpeded and accurate assistance, to narrow the gap between urban and rural resources, and to improve the schooling dilemma of children of rural migrant workers, HABOOK Group donated devices with the value more than millions to create a TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom at the beginning of 2016.

As the best school in Jiangbei District of Ningbo City, Huizhen Academy is equipped with quite good resources and student sources, while Ningbo Xiuren School is located in the suburbs of Jiangbei District, has relatively insufficient resources, and many students are the children of rural migrant workers in remote locations. The average score difference between the students in the two schools exceeded 30 points before introducing the TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom.

With the use of the system supported by TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom at these two schools to implement distance joint lesson preparation, teaching, and lesson observation every week, the urban and rural children learned and grew together regardless of space constraints. The participating classes of the two schools not only shared the benefit of stimulating the growth of each other, but the children of the relatively rural Xiuren School have greatly reduced the difference in study performance due to this kind of learning resource after one year.

Taipei Zhiqing Elementary School, Hong Kong Christian Pui Yan Primary School, Fujian Yangzhai Primary School, and Sichuan Chengdu ELDU Experimental Primary School jointly established the "TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom Alliance Program". This program helped the broad community of teachers across the Taiwan Strait to learn and grow together through the TEAM Model Distance Smarter Classroom to promote the teaching mode of innovative and intelligent classrooms with the live broadcast.
