| Language
Lab |
[top] |
| |
|
The
high point of this year for the school
infrastructure is the installation of
the Smart Class Virtual Recorder. In
simple terms, the school now has a
language laboratory of its own.
Technology has now made language
learning easier and much more
interesting. Started on a modest scale,
to accommodate sixteen students, the lab
is more like a multifunctional
classroom. It accommodates language
learning, multi-media presentations and
self-study sessions. Students can hear
and re-produce accurate intonation in
any language; they can practise on their
own or with a teacher's help. On the
part of the teacher, she can interact
with all, a group or even one student at
a time. She can monitor and supervise
children on a one-to-one basis -
correcting someone if need be without
distracting others. Similarly a student
can seek help without apprehensions of
others listening or laughing. Students
of Classes VI and VII are being taken to
the lab regularly. They enjoy the
sessions in the lab and eagerly look
forward to them. They listen to poems
and recite them and sometimes also work
on online worksheets or practise
language exercises given by the teacher.

| Mathematics
Lab |
[top] |
| |
|
The
Maths Lab has finally been created. The
primary objective is to enrich teaching
of mathematics. Maths will no longer be
terrifying. Rather it would be enjoyable
to learn, for the lab will help the
student to "learn by
discovering" and work on projects
and activities that highlight the
relevance of Maths in the real world.
The dreaded Maths will soon become fun
filled Maths through the use of
technology in the form of advanced
software and hands-on activities, such
as making models etc. |

|
| Robotics |
[top] |
| |
|
Robotics
began very quietly and without any
fanfare this year. To begin with,
about forty students have enrolled for
the Robotics classes. In these classes,
students are taught elements of basic
electronics, computer science and
mechanical engineering. Then they
got started from scratch in fabricating
robots. |
