Using class information panels

Schools in Germany are using the class information panel to provide information about up and coming topics/units of work, teachers are providing links and introductory materials for students to look at if they are interested before the teaching of the work commences.
Some teachers are also using the panels to keep a record of all the work completed by the class so students have a full summary of all the work. Very useful if they are absent and miss some or all of the lessons.
