Today, dealing with digitalized information and using information systems have become indispensable basic skills, just like the traditional techniques reading, writing, and calculating. The increasing importance of IT systems in the economy, the society, and everyday life requires a broad knowledge of it. The media concept of the Robert-Bosch-Comprehensive School takes that into account in a variety of key aspects in lessons. The portal server “Iserv” allows the development of a new learning culture. Wherever it makes sense for the pupils’ learning process, teachers try to use the internet or the intranet. Every user of the system (teachers and pupils) has his/her own account. IServ provides every user and every group of users, set up by the administrator, with an individual home area, shared files, forums, and email addresses. This leads to internetworking of the users and their working environment. Using IServ allows mobility and independence. The pupils can communicate, or work on the given tasks, anywhere and anytime, as long as they have access to a computer with access to the internet. This way, learning and teaching can easily go on beyond the regular schedule, beyond the specific subject, and beyond the school building. More than 200 linked school computers, which can be found in computer rooms, in learning centres, in teachers’ staff rooms, and in offices, as well as almost 100 laptops and netbooks belonging to pupils, departments, and teachers, which can be used to access the internet at any time, using the school’s wireless internet, and last but not least, the dedicated parents in the different committees – all this makes up the enormous potential to develop excellent media skills at the Robert-Bosch-Comprehensive School.
These skills are approached in the following key aspects of lessons:
