Hushan Elementary School’s special ecological syllabus goes digital

Located in the suburbs of Tainan’s Rende District, Hushan Elementary School is not only surrounded by lush thick forest with a vast array of plant species, the school also boasts a well-ordered planted forest to its rear, providing children with an incredibly natural study environment.

Besides a truly unique course syllabus, the school has also integrated the digital world through adopting tablet pieces. Children can be seen in each and every corner of the school searching for QR Codes, assisting them to recognize the plants on campus and providing them with a better understanding of knowledge related to the environment. As part of the school’s special course syllabus, children were instructed to collect dried leaves and branches, which after some creative thinking were transformed into a tree house. Towering beside the school’s entrance, the wooden fortification symbolizes the spirit of environmental protection imbued into teachers and students at the school.

台南市虎山國小位於仁德區近郊，是一所環繞在綠色叢林裡的生態小學，校園中隨處可見各式不同種類的花草植栽，學校後方還有一整片，排列整齊的人造林，提供小朋友們自然的上課環境。

除了特色課程外，在課堂中還結合了數位平板，讓小朋友拿著平板電腦，在校園中尋找各個角落的QR Code，藉由行動學習來認識校園中的植物，也更了解生態的相關知識。學校也將小朋友在特色課程中，所蒐集回來的枯枝落葉，結合大家的創意發想，建成了樹屋，矗立在校門口，象徵師生共同守護生態的精神堡壘。
