Is there a better way to utilize the time and effort that kids are spending with various forms of media?

While there have been concerns for decades over children spending countless hours in the front of the television, it seems that today’s technology, especially with the dawn of portable, poses an even greater risk to children’s socialization, critical thinking, and skill development. But hang onto that thought for a moment- technology, as everything else has another side to it!

Increasingly more parents in India now understand the need of early child care through education learning systems, and this segment is mounting by leaps and bounds. Parents are excited by technologies that encourage creativity and that are vehicles for rich skill-building experiences. Additionally, technologies that provide children who have limited experience outside their own communities can be very beneficial. “Virtual” as well as experiential learning can be a great experience for young students.

Schools in India have also begun to realize the importance of learning solutions which have the capacity to motivate, invigorate, engage and stimulate students think abilities. The K-12 education system is undergoing an enormous transformation, and as students discover new ways to communicate and interact, the introduction of new technologies like interactive classroom teaching, online learning and virtual learning systems into the school environment using information and communication technology can be a turning point. Today’s students must have 21st Century skills such as creativity, problem solving, communication and analytical thinking to compete in the increasingly digital global marketplace.

As the pioneers of interactive classroom technology in India offering digital classrooms solutions or smart classrooms, Classteacher Learning Systems is eager to play an active role in developing and cultivating schools of the future by providing innovative, scalable and affordable solutions to the education community.

In the words of Rohit Pande, CEO, Classteacher Learning Systems: “Education is no more confined to the four walls of a classroom or the narrow confines of a book. It has now transformed into an interactive voyage of discovery and learning unfettered by distance, immensely benefiting not just the students, but the teachers and parents as well. Classteacher offers integrated solutions to assist teaching in classrooms using software, hardware and school support services. This is an ideal platform that makes learning an enjoyable, enriching and interactive experience, while simultaneously promoting critical thinking.”

The company’s work with over 600 schools and over 10,000 educators over the last decade has revealed that students no longer accept information without processing it and without asking – Why? Thus arose the need to innovate. Innovate with vision and conviction and the expertise to shift the paradigm from simple chalkboards to interactive curriculum.
