Academy Transformation Trust appoints Gaia Technologies to bring its ICT vision to life with inspiring 3D learning environments.

Academy Transformation Trust has recently announced the appointment of Gaia Technologies Plc as its preferred provider of ICT services to each of The Trust’s academies.

Following a competitive procurement process, Gaia Technologies were proven to have the necessary expertise needed to roll the ICT offering across Academy Transformation Trust’s network.

“ICT innovation is one of our key areas and we were impressed with Gaia’s proposal, not only as it met all the requirements in our initial brief but also because it fitted into our existing values that form the basis of everything we do,” explained Joyce Hodgetts, Managing Director of Academy Transformation Trust.

“It was important that we not only found a partner that could deliver the ICT provisions needed but who could share our vision to develop exciting and innovative ICT services to inspire teaching and learning and drive educational transformation.”

The partnership with Gaia will see the technology team servicing a high speed internet service that will help to provide consistent access to learning resources to all pupils and staff across The Trust. Gaia is also providing access to immersive 3D technologies across the Trust. This unique learning environment displays 3D images and environments such as our planet’s rainforests and the trenches of World War One. Children are able to take a tour of the solar system and can stop to explore individual planets by rotating objects 360 degrees, selecting cross sections and view the orbits, encouraging a lively debate in the classroom.

Along with the use of 3D active glasses, the projections will bring classroom learning to life in an exciting, interactive way which inspires and motivates pupils. This state-of-the-art innovation is considered to encourage a greater retention rate when compared to traditional textbook based learning techniques.

“We are thrilled to be working with Academy Transformation Trust and helping to fulfil their technological needs. Gaia has made a commitment to Academy Transformation Trust to provide ICT support that helps to enrich the learning environment of The Trust’s pupils and staff,” said Dr. Ayad Mawla, Director of Gaia Technologies.

“The growing network of academies under The Trust’s umbrella will each benefit from Gaia’s ICT expertise and staff will be empowered to use the resources available to them, which in turn will provide a safe and nurturing environment for pupils to learn new and exciting things.”

Blackburn Rovers Community Trust is now proud to be offering 3D technology experiences to schools, community groups and other partner organisations, allowing them the opportunity to experience the ‘next big thing’ in education.  Blackburn Rovers Community Trust is the first Football Community Trust in the UK to work with Gaia Technologies plc to embrace and develop the use and power of 3D technology in their teaching.

Blackburn Rovers Community Trust (www.brfctrust.co.uk/community) is very much at the heart of embracing and recognising the use of ICT as a powerful learning tool.  In championing the latest technologies, the Trust has seen students become motivated, engaged and ultimately achieve success.

The introduction of 3D in curriculum delivery across a range of subjects makes an already unique learning environment stand out even further from the competition.   This new technology includes an interactive 3D heart rate monitor, which allows students to witness a 3D representation of their own heart beating in time to their pulse.

 Chris Dawes, Head of Business Operations says,

“The Gaia 3D software has made a significant impact when used with our students, as their comprehension of sport and fitness-related topics in particular has improved immensely. Learning in this way has proven to develop and increase confidence, and students are engaged to the point where they are queuing up to try out the equipment.”

The 3D experience allows students to enhance and apply their understanding of complex issues by learning through observation and investigation, rather than via the traditional routes of instruction. This unique method of pedagogy allows environments and models to be observed in full 3D from every angle. This fully interactive learning tool engages students through a variety of learning styles, guaranteeing a greater level of participation and comprehension. What takes the Trust’s use of 3D learning solutions to a whole new level is the ability to make it possible for students to develop and produce 3D content themselves, using freely available software such as Google Sketchup and Autodesk 123D Catch. 

 The Trust’s use of 3D technology has been beneficial to teaching and learning across a range of subject areas and has created a fun and stimulating learning experience by immersing students in environments like never before possible.  The ‘wow factor’ is often witnessed in Trust-delivered sessions when students are presented with the 3D learning environment. 

As acknowledgement of its excellence in ICT provision, the Trust has become an Acer Education Centre.  As part of an Acer project for education, in collaboration with European Schoolnet (EUN) (www.eun.org), Blackburn Rovers Community Trust has had the pleasure of receiving a class set of Acer tablets for use across the Education Centre. The goal of this project is to support teaching organisations and schools to move into the 21st Century by providing the opportunity to develop new teaching and learning methods through the use of technology. 

“These tablets really do make a difference to developmental areas such as independent learning, increased motivation and levels of participation.  Using the tablets and combining them with other software and hardware solutions such as Gaia’s 3D Viewer, we have been able to transform Ewood Park into an interactive learning hub, giving students and teachers alike countless opportunities to participate in interactive Maths, English, Science and History trails to name just a few activities on offer.” added Mr. Dawes.

Ridgeway school is one of the UK schools that has recently been involved in a pilot project of Gaia 3D.

Specialising in Science and Maths, the school’s work to support children at every stage of their educational journey has been described as outstanding by Ofsted.

Working alongside the Gaia Team, Jim Strachan the Assistant Head of Geography, was able to implement the software in the school and  teach the school’s first lesson in 3D. Lucky Year 9 students were the first to witness learning being brought to life.

As published in the local newspaper Plympton, Plymstock and Ivybridge News:

“RIDGEWAY students take a step into the future of education as geography gets a 3D makeover!”

“After donning the 3D glasses, the class were taught plate tectonics by Mr Strachan, but instead of old-fashioned 2D diagrams, the     students were immersed in virtual representations of earthquakes and volcanoes while being taught what happens at destructive plate boundaries and how to make a building earthquake-proof.”

In the words of the students, being able to manipulate and interact with the planet’s structure “made the subject come to life and jump off the board…literally”.
Mr Strachan said: “Gaia 3D is at the cutting edge of Education so it was a huge honour to have them visit our school.”

“It was a fantastic experience and we can’t wait until we can use it every day!”

3D display techniques offer to serve a broad spectrum of distinctly different functions and may be implemented in numerous ways. Although today’s 3D systems invariably capitalise on binocular vision (specifically stereopsis) this is not the only visual mechanism by which we are able to gain a strong sense of form and spatial positioning. Source, Barry G.
