Re: Re: [MTC Global] Do you Believe?

Dear Sir, Use of technology or not is not a question at all,because the march of
technology is relentless. We could look at how learning actually takes place in
the person's mind and equips him to adapt to changes in his own life and get
valuable clues to develop our own techniques for education. Classroom learning and
now-a day's online learning are just two of the many ways. One could even look at
peer group learning in which the person is exposed to the behavior of his peers
and begins to learn the ' tricks of the trade'. There is no standard format where
peer learning can take place. It can take place on the football field, in camps,
in treks and excursions,and even just gossiping in a room full of peers. I think
that in this respect, the residential schools did a marvelous job. Students learn
even without constant teacher intervention. The role of the teacher is perhaps to
crystallize the experiences of the many students into meaning, equipping the
pupils with a purpose and direction. Technology can be definitely harnessed into
such a framework also.

Technology is,no doubt , a powerful tool.
However, its effectiveness in learning depends on what for it is used and how it
is used.

Some subjects ( like Chemistry, Botany and
Zoology ) are possibly more amenable for technology-enabled learning,
whereas concept oriented
subjects ( like Mathematics and physics ) are
better learnt thru class room / teacher-enabled learning.

In either case, we can not do away with the teacher
, as he/she has a vital role to play - that of facilitation of
learning.

Do you believe that [techno-school] e-learning in schools is highly

they have gone online/e-learning/LMS?
