Did you find anything relevant to the Indian milieu during your
research?
It is still young and what happened in the US is now happening here with
the same players amongst the rest. What I feel individually is that
these are high end presentation products meant for corporate offices and
not for schools, that too in every classroom. Simply calling them
teaching aids does not change things. We don't even have the entire
syllabus of every class and subject available fully in professional and
electronic format. If schools want to go digital then a simple projector
and computer in every class or in a special room is sufficient. Schools
must invest in professional grade content not gadgets.
You should visit with Dr. Nagrjuna and Ganesh/ Amit etc on their visit to
khalapur to understand what ICT is all about.
ICT requires the student to be in control, asking questions, generating
data, interacting with their immediate environment, in applying the
principles of science, maths, arts etc. That is learning and more
importantly that is what teaching is all about.
Education in most places has degraded to hand me downs from teacher to
student and ICT is reduced to gizmos like the white board. How many
students have their own lab? or their own music / story / recording
facility.
