Here’s a simple but powerful class opening activity – share what you’ve learnt in the last class and what you want to learn. This way, you know what a class expects and every student gets an opportunity to be heard. Now, when you tie in a PC you’re all set to take a child’s learning much, much further…

Hello, Curiosity!

Interested in the real-world application of gravity?

Want to know how photosynthesis actually works?

Like reading graphic novels?

Even five years back, a child had to go to their local library or the school’s library to find out more about a concept. Same went for teachers. What’s more, if a student asked a query that was out of the textbook or beyond a teacher’s grasp of the said subject – a teacher would have to search the answer and then provide the answer the next class.

And now?

One search and you have everything at your fingertips!

Passion, please…

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do”

• Steve Jobs

The question is does every child have the tools to discover and then ultimately follow through that passion?

The PC is a great starting point and is here to stay, enabling an entire generation of students to dive deep into their potential. The 24/7 access of resources and sheer variety make it ideal to learn something beyond the classroom.

Shake up the norm

Every time there is a new invention, it’s initially met with trepidation, then acceptance and finally the feeling that you can’t do without it. Whether it’s the invention of the telephone or the iPod – both were met with shock by the general population. And now look at their impact!

The very same way, access to a PC gives a child (no matter how young) the confidence and know-how to do whatever they set their eyes on.

The age of PC-learning has ushered in a new form of education that has multiple advantages for teachers and students. As a teacher, you should use these advantages to create the most conducive classroom learning environment. 

1. Use multimedia to your advantage

PC driven tools allow students to visualise, create, and express themselves while learning technological skills. It not only helps their ideas come to the forefront but also helps them in their adult life. Get the Children of Tomorrow accustomed to multimedia from an early age for a brighter future.

2. Ensure there is no restriction on learning

With virtual learning, students do not have to pick a bracket of education anymore as they can learn any skill from around the world. It not only builds their confidence but also gives them a chance to explore and build their personality.

3. Use visualization tools

Abstract concepts are often hard to visualize, which is why you can use PC enabled learning tools to make concepts less abstract and more concrete as they are right in front of the child to see.

4. Foster easy communication 

Computers, technology, and the internet make the world closer despite the distance. You can ensure your children are not learning something limited to your city, school, and classroom, and have a global outlook towards learning.

5. Enable fast access to research and information

Computer education makes it faster and easier for children to access information for research. In just a few clicks, they can get answers to their doubts, enabling them to understand the subject even better.

Integrate e-learning into your classroom to transform the way your students study and imbibe knowledge.
