To integrate latest technologies in classroom teaching, it is imperative to train teachers adequately so they can transfer the knowledge to the students.
To facilitate technology-enabled teaching and learning in a classroom, the School Education Department has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Council of Higher Education (APSCHE). As part of it, high schools are being mapped to the nearest engineering colleges, which will act as mentor institutes to the schools and impart training to school teachers and students in use of Interactive Flat Panels (IFPs), smart TVs and Byju’s app.
“Two Assistant Professors or Associate Professors from engineering colleges have been trained by the Commissioner, School Infrastructure in use of IFPs and Byju’s app. These faculty members will impart in-person training to teachers in their respective colleges in the first fortnight of July. Subsequently, students from the colleges will visit schools to hand-hold the teachers through the initial phase of technology-induced teaching,” says Principal Secretary, School Education, Praveen Prakash, informing that the district Collectors have been asked to monitor the training programme.
