Teachers have maximized the usage of differentiated technologies to enhance learner’s communication and presentation skills by exposing them to a variety of new educational tools. The challenging part has been to provide quality insight into WHY/WHEN/HOW part of the usage of technology tools and we have done a remarkable job so far in giving clarity to our learners.
To further smoothen learners, VSE Journey, we have come up with E-class tool kit which is a one-stop place for learners to facilitate enhanced presentations, reflections giving insight into a wide range of tools library categorized based on the learning objectives and outcomes.
Right from brainstorming through mindmaps, expressing through videos, gif images, animations, coding, digital storybooks, comic strips conducting online quizzes for peers and initiating guest session for junior classes, power of this technology transformation in virtual classrooms has taken learners creativity and innovation to an extraordinary level which is truly commendable.
