Although I did my teacher's training and taught in Goa for several years, I now teach in Canada, where technology is such a huge part of the teaching-learning process. Living in the techno age, it is inevitable! Besides, there is so much more you can do with technology/learning of a much higher quality takes place, as compared to the old blackboard (and even the newer white board!) methods. The interesting thing is that the teacher does not need to know everything there is to know about using technology because the students, being so adept at it, are eager beavers when it comes to teaching others (teacher included!!) how to use stuff.

I have absolutely no doubt about the quality of our educators in Goa. All that is needed now is to get them on board with this plan, by doing the needful. There is nothing more important than making learning fun and relevant to students...especially in this day and age - and that is what Paradise in Aldona is seeking to do. I am so very happy and excited with this new school! And I can't wait to see the concept spread to other parts of Goa - Saligao, in particular, of course!😊 Patsy/Patricia Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, Aug 17, 2017 at 10:17 AM, Arup Bhanja<[email protected]> wrote: Patricia, Happy to post such info that may help educators get some more ideas. My sense is that we already have capable educators and we do not necessarily need imported methodology to make learning better and more productive. Dr. Sugata Mitra's work [SOLE] is a case in point.
