Technology
as a teaching aid will no longer be the exclusive domain of international
schools or tutoring centres. The state education department will soon roll out
video tutorials and e-material to help teachers in state board schools to
improve teaching standards in the state.
The state has launched
http:www.videonirmiti.in, a website where teachers can upload suggestions on
difficult topics.Based on teachers' suggestions, the state will post videos and
other teaching aids on the website.
In a government resolution issued on June 24,
principal secretary , school education department, Nand Kumar said, “Several
programmes and initiatives have been implemented in the state to better the
standards of education. In spite of these efforts, several surveys have
revealed that the most important stakeholders, the students, are showing low
learning levels. Hence it is clear that there are difficulties in learning and
teaching.“
An online form is available for teachers,
where they can share details about the specific problems they have while
teaching various topics. The last date for filling up these forms will be July
5. “Once the teachers submit the various topics they have trouble with, we
will, with assistance from expert teachers, make videos on how better to teach
the subject. This will include various teaching tools that the teacher can
use,“ said a teacher associated with the project. These videos will primarily
help clear concepts in English, Mathematics and Science.
Teachers have welcomed the project.
“Sometimes there are concepts which might be difficult to explain to the
students. There are lakhs of teachers in the state and someone may have a
better way of doing it. So it is necessary that there is a common pool of
knowledge which will be available to all,“ said Uday Nare, teacher, Hansraj
Morarji Public School, Andheri.
