According
to the new approach of school education , we aim at enabling learners
to construct knowledge. As we know it is not an easy task. We have
to create a conducive physical and mental environment in them for
that. In other words we have to create a disequilibrium in the
existing schema of the child. As a result of this the child will
engage in activities that eventually will lead to the construction of
knowledge and there by the mental balance is retained.
In
the learning process the child needs various inputs. Some of them in
the form of teaching aids in which digital contents may occupy a
decisive role. Digital contents in the form of videos,
presentations, pictures, college, worksheets, animations etc will
install enthusiasm and involvement at a higher level. In some
specific cases, where we cannot provide direct experiences, ICT
materials are the best alternative.
But
most of our teachers are not competent enough to collect create and
use them effectively. Due the time constraints several of them are
reluctant to explore the unexplored. But at the same time such
teachers are ready to utilize ICT materials if they are provided
suitably.
Last
year we tried to supply necessary ICT materials for class 10 and 7
namely “SMART@10”
and “LASER” respectively in DVD format. Both materials are
extensively being used by teacher community.
This
year through a joint venture of DIET Kasaragod and IT@School
Kasaragod provisions are extend to realize to ICT support on line and
infinite possibilities of blog through “BLEND” with the help of
committed and technically skilled teachers. This creativity is
joining under the banner of Kasaragod District Education Council to
establish at another landmark in the history of ICT enabled education
in kerala.
The
project “TERMS” (E-Resource Management for School Teachers) aims
at providing ICT contents for each subjects class wise. The materials
are either created by our team or made available from other sources.
We expect that teachers will access, analyse, download and properly
use them. We are trying to arrange them all sequentially so that
teachers can use them effectively. Through various additional links
they can access digital TB and TT , evaluation tools, sample teaching
manuals and other supporting materials. Links to useful websites and
edublogs are also made available.
Anyone
who is capable of developing suitable materials of any type may
collaborate with us by sending the resources. Informations of any
sort, which will be helpful, may also be intimated via mail. We have
separate blog teams for each subjects. They will verify them and add
selected items with dew credits. Your valuable suggestions and
comments are highly solicited.
We proudly present
before the teaching fraternity, our humble initiative emerged out of
the collective effort of a highly committed team of teachers and
Educational Officers in Kasaragod District.
