The Project: Project proposal for Smart Class
Project Budget: Civil Construction : Rs. 190,880/-
Location: Sagroli,
Dist. Nanded, Maharashtra.
Preamble:
Sanskriti
Samvardhan Mandal (SSM) is a village based voluntary organization active in the
fields of education, empowerment of women through self help movement, youth,
environment and agriculture since 1959. For details please visit www.ssmandal.net.
In the past 50 years, a good infrastructure has been
developed by the school like a resourceful library, teaching aids like charts,
maps, instruments, equipments, a huge play ground with indigenous and foreign
sports facilities and games material, well equipped gym, science laboratories,
computer lab, classroom furniture, audio visuals etc. making LEARNING pleasure
for all. Till 2004, we were regularly
receiving Non Salary grants from the State Government, Department of Education
towards purchase, maintenance and development of the infrastructure. Since 2004, the Government has totally stopped
the Non Salary grant and suggested the schools and organizations to raise their
own funds for development and maintenance.
For a school like ours, we are facing tough financial problems.
Quality
education is an essential requisite in today’s competitive environment.
Technology has affected us in every aspect. This paper discusses the smart
classes as a modernized method of education in Indian education scenario which
provides quality education to students by helping them in better concept
formation, concept elaboration, improvement in reading skills and academic
achievement.
Technology
benefitted us in every aspect of our life right from communication to
education. In ancient days students were taught in a Gurukul where they were
taught by the Gurus. But this system was replaced by modernized culture. New
methods of teaching have been introduced which is known as smart class. It uses
instructional material, 3D animated modules and videos, and all the renowned
schools are using this concept. Now the students are thrilled at this concept
of innovation and interactive learning process. The concept of digitized
classroom has not only made education interesting but a chance to students to
enhance their performance.
The Smart Class:
Driven
by new practices in teaching and learning that build on the recognition of the
powerful impact that school design has on how well students do at school, we
are creating flexible learning spaces or ‘smart classrooms’ designed to suit
the individual needs of every student. We want to build learning environments
that are stimulating for students and support quality teaching and new
technology.
A
classroom has students with varied power of understanding and learning, and
studying from notes and other materials becomes difficult for some students.
But the use of smart classes and modern technology eases the learning process
for all students. Moreover, this kind of education in class promotes more
interaction between teacher and student with more participation from both
sides.
A smart classroom is a classroom that has an instructor
equipped with computer and audio-visual equipment, allowing the instructor to
teach using a wide variety of media. These include smart interactive white
board, DVD’s, PPT’s and more, all displayed through a data projector. With the
help of school curriculum, smart classes bring in technology right next to the
blackboard for teachers in the classroom. This makes learning an enjoyable
experience for the students while improving their overall academic performance
in school.
