My dear, I face similar challenges. And trust me, all teachers across India must be facing some or the other variant of these. So, the problem seems to be fairly generic, right? The spread of technology is inevitable. Look at what happened to mobile phones. A decade ago, where were they? And today? They are almost an appendage to our bodies. The same will happen with a lot of technologies waiting in the wings, and when that happens (maybe 10, 20years from now) the world as we know it will have changed. I have seen that with the coming in of a new generation, big changes happen. So there's hope.<br /><br />HT - The purpose of education essentially remains the same - preparing for life. The definition of "life" seems to keep evolving from time to time.

It was a privilege to read such an...Respected Sir,<br /><br />It was a privilege to read such an insightful post on evolution of education and its future. But while reading I was constantly feeling a bit of restiveness and thought of sharing my views on the same.<br /><br />First, I would like to put a little background about me which would help to comprehend my opinion:-<br /><br />I belong to Vidisha which is a semi-urban city in MP. I had been a teacher of Basic English language and Botany in a friend’s coaching institute while I was pursuing graduation.<br /><br />Now, here are my observations and opinion:-<br /><br />1.) English:-<br /><br />Nearly 70 % of total schools in my city are Hindi medium schools where English is considered as a subject rather than a language by most of the parents, teachers and students and hence they fail to explore and learn by their own. English is a language and it can easily be taught by creating a suitable environment. But unfortunately, our education system badly lacks it.<br />2.) Career selection:-<br /><br />After getting the primary education a child can be prepared to compose himself for taking a very essential and strategic decision of his life and that is to choose a right career. But our children lack such vocational maturity for a long period of time. By vocational maturity I mean awareness, knowledge and understanding of world. They remain unknown to their own abilities and self-concept. I don’t know who to blame; educational planners, curriculum-designers, teachers or parents.<br />3.) Poor psychological development:-<br /><br />An important turning point occurs around age six. A child entering school is at a point in development when behavior is dominated by intellectual curiosity and performance. The danger at this stage is that the child may experience feelings of inadequacy or inferiority. If the child is encouraged to do things, finish the tasks, and praised for trying, a sense of industry is the result and on the other hand if child’s efforts are unsuccessful, or if he is criticized or treated as bothersome it develops a sense of inferiority. I was one of such victims and that lasted until I passed higher secondary.<br /><br />I also welcome to the brave new world of education system version 3.0 but benefits of OSM to these children looks far from their reach and not convincing to me. Until these issues are unresolved OSM’s effects in three years are unlikely to be seen.<br />Regards, <br />Srajit JainSrijit Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15000578411405032595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-28160699579807025532010-01-21T05:56:42.100+05:302010-01-21T05:56:42.100+05:30Good morning Sir,

Yes,here now the overall education system is getting a new shape, a revolutionary beginning of a better and effective way for kids to understand things and gain knowledge. I presently am working on being a part of this change by introducing Indian kids to a new way of learning. http://brainplex.in/html/how_does_it_work.htm <br />This is on the same lines and it uses better customized solutions for each student and then foster them with the basics. I believe, the sooner the schooling industry accepts this change, the better Indian kids would stand against their counterparts from other countries. I personally believe the values and discipline are a part of overall upbringing at home, at school, at sports and with peers and it wont be neglected/hindered in this new system.<br /><br />-PavitraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268258731227673327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-62785782677408587232010-01-20T02:18:42.333+05:302010-01-20T02:18:42.333+05:30Present Classroom professor-blackboard-textbook le...Present Classroom professor-blackboard-textbook learning is dull, slow, uninteresting.<br /><br />Learning in the 3rd version has to sell itself, market itself to learners and fully involve, engage them. Gone are the days when classroom was a temple and students came to worship knowledge. Tommorrows classrooms would have to market learning not only to the students concious and subconcious mind, but also to his heart by making him passionate about the subject and turning him on to seek more. We need to market learning as we market consumer products. <br /><br /><br />Documentaries, animations, videos, interviews engage the eyes, ears and senses in the most fulfilling manner. Read a text book on human emryonic development or the human immune system and then watch a documentary on it with all its colourful animations, beautiful voice with all its ups and downs, wonder awe-inspiring background music and beats. The latter markets the knowledge immediately to your brain, mind and heart. Just observe the hairs on your hand when you come across such a documentary.<br /><br />The purpose of education is not to deliver facts and knowledge but to make a student curious, satisfy his curiousity and fuel it further by making him passionate about the subject. Then actively engage him in discussions and exchange of thoughts and ideas. Once you are interested, then you start searching on the net to know more - blogs, wikipedia, youtube, research papers, website, online ecyclopedias, google earth, forums.. etcAryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05358620898331492582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-9323313328409543822010-01-20T00:32:36.792+05:302010-01-20T00:32:36.792+05:30Indresh, Akshay, Manish - I loved reading your com...Indresh, Akshay, Manish - I loved reading your comments.

With the advent of Social Media and Other Online Collaboration Systems it would be easy to bring knowledge of one place effectively to learning environment.<br /><br />Please remember Social Media is a double edged sword and has its own share of problems. So while a Wikipedia is a classic case of online collaboration, just because the actual contents are not validated the authenticity of the information is not there and it even results in a lot of factually incorrect information. All said and done, social media is here to stay. <br /><br />Now about how Social Media would impact education, in my opinion, the world would move at a much quicker pace, changes would happen faster, people's consumption pattern would change and everything would be driven by choice. This is what I guess the education system should be geared up. So as an example if there are 60 students in a classroom all of them would study only things they want to (I am talking about higher education) and they would be served personalised course materials.<br /><br />Maybe IBM would tag it "Education - On Demand" :). That in my opionion would be Education 3.0 and technology would be a facilitatorUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939633331748857483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-41124650355410834462010-01-19T23:40:20.034+05:302010-01-19T23:40:20.034+05:30this article is like a vision statement for the fu...this article is like a vision statement for the future of our education system.<br />But the transition would be slow unless:<br />1. Increased Corporate investment into our school education system.<br />2. Training the teachers to utilize and encourage the use of OSM effectively.(Starting a diploma course in OSM would be a gr8 idea to begin with).<br />3. Curriculum should include OSM tools, its pros n cons and skills development around it. e.g. teachers should give some homework on OSM and discuss it in the class.<br />It'll not only make the kids more social, but also grow their intellectual understanding of the surrounding world.<br /><br />and thanks to this blog....now we could directly interact with the "GOD"!!:)manish chaurasiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259540535837172263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647794548092946175.post-55946293734852767372010-01-19T23:09:54.409+05:302010-01-19T23:09:54.409+05:30Respected Sir,
