Technology Integration in Modern Classrooms

-

Those days are now gone when the students used to take notes hurriedly while the teachers delivered lectures. Technology for schools is a driving force in education in the twenty-first century and schools are rapidly adjusting to it as well as embracing this change.

Smart boards in the classroom, projectors, smart tables, and integrated learning systems are being developed. These technological advancements in education are required to prepare students for their future careers.

Here’s what Anoop Bishnoi, Chairman of The Doon School, Dehradun, has to say about it, “New technology opens up new possibilities in all aspects of life. Implementing technology in schools is a prime example of such a chance. The use of technology promotes collaboration between students and teachers by incorporating rapid learning. Smart boards, smart tables, and projectors are examples of tools that improve the learning and teaching experience. The use of an integrated learning system ensures that the curriculum is better structured. The current post-pandemic period provides the best opportunity for schools to transition into integrated learning systems.”

Students today live in a very different world than students in the past. Technology has altered the way they play, learn, and interact with one another. From instant access to limitless sources of information to evolving expectations for customization and control, technological advancement has permeated nearly every aspect of daily life, including education. Teachers can customize learning based on student needs by incorporating technology into classrooms. While technology is a vehicle for driving educational success, it is the teacher who integrates these elements coherently into a personalized learning environment. Any classroom technology endeavor must prioritize student outcomes.

While the number of illiterate youth has decreased from 170 million to 115 million, nonetheless, the gender gap in literacy rates has remained relatively stable. For example, India has a significant gender disparity. Approximately 75% of Indian men have at least a basic level of literacy, while 51% of Indian women are literate. Some of the findings of a survey conducted among teachers, parents, and students to understand their perceptions and attitudes towards gender in the education space were as follows: most parents believe that nurturing and caring for children are basic responsibilities of women. Most parents believe that women tolerate violence for the sake of the family, and they point to symbols of sacrifice and compassion as evidence. According to 34% of parents, the main cause of sexual abuse is girls’ behavior and sartorial style. Around 40% of teachers also stated that they assign decoration tasks to girls and tangible physical tasks to boys. To address a deeply embedded

Does CUET reduce Students’ pressure-A Bane or Beacon for Students

-

Last year, the Union government announced that all admissions to Central Universities for undergraduate courses would be decided by a Common University Entrance Test (CUET). The CUET’s goals are admirable, and it is likely that this will change the education landscape in a few years. After all, unreasonable high school cutoffs are a legitimate concern, and the CUET may, in the long run, level the playing field for students across the country. However, there are more arguments against the common entrance exam than for it. The concept of bringing uniformity to the admissions process via a centralized exam is not novel. In 2010, the Central University CET was used for admission to 1,500 seats in seven new Central universities. By 2020, the entrance examination had grown to include 14 new central universities and four state universities. The real question here is whether the Common Entrance Test is more discriminatory than the previous method of admitting students based on their performanc

Children today are safer than ever before in a variety of ways. Better public safety, less “stranger danger,” and more logic however the twenty-first century brings new challenges to child safety, particularly when considering the digital environment. Children are voracious consumers of digital technologies. Despite all of the opportunities provided by the digital world, such as playing, learning, and socializing, digital engagement poses risks to children’s safety that can have real-world consequences. Many risks in the digital world are analogous to those in the physical world. Bullies can reach their victims online just as easily as they can in the schoolyard. Children can be exposed to hate speech and racism through the virtual games they play, videos they watch, and communication apps they use. Some risks, however, are more specific to the digital environment, such as sending or receiving sexually explicit messages online, or the use and misuse of children’s data. Pop-ups in app
