In a trend that likely points the way to the future, schools are increasingly integrating computers and classrooms in a teaching method that is more appealing to youngsters.
Chai Wan Faith Love Lutheran School, for example, is making good use of free internet resources, particularly Google's Apps for Education.
Marie Yuen King-yin, a teacher who also serves on the IT panel, says the free applications are useful for the school not only educationally but also for administration.
Ms Yuen says Google works as an online server, and the free maintenance provided by the server's team lessens the school's IT burden.
'Software such as the mail server, Google Maps and Google Earth are useful in teaching. They make classes more vivid and close to daily life,' she says. 'More importantly, the applications are free of charge and the money saved can be used on purchasing other teaching tools. It is more cost-effective.'
Ms Yuen teaches computer, maths, English and music in the school, and she says the applications can be used in many subjects.
