Digital Education by Ipad

The Indian education system was jolted because the corona virus outspread leading to a nationwide lockdown. The coronavirus outbreak prompted the need for digitalization of every aspect of human life especially in a country like India where things are still done manually.

A digital education was the need of hour. However this facility of digitization was only available to the big private schools and their children. The underprivileged children enrolled in trust schools lack resources to access the digital education. However, we started the initiative to educate the underprivileged children with free of cost digital education. 

Covid -19 pandemic has changed the education system and started virtual classes. Through online classes children are studying and learning.

Understanding the need for digital education, Mera Parivar is focusing on digitalization from this year and including digital education in the curriculum.

Today technology is being seen as a powerful development tool. Children are growing up in a digital world where social media, mobile technology and online communities are fundamental to the way that they communicate, learn and develop. We are including digitalization in the education programme from this session from sixth to tenth standard. Digital education enhances the children to use new technology. It empowers students by getting them to be more interested in learning. Under digital education, we will also teach and give computer/IT training to teachers because most teachers have no knowledge of computers. So, we will train teachers for skill building as well.

 Mera Parivar is based at Gurugram Haryana making lasting changes in the area of education among marginalized communities from the last 20 years. In such a context, Mera Parivar is initiating a digital education to the children of the marginalized people and urban slum area. Children are most vulnerable when people lack essentials like food, water, sanitation and health care. When the parents are in poverty, children become vulnerable and exposed to several injustice, assaults and discrimination. People of the area are poor, unskilled with less education and are not aware of their rights and entitlements. The organization passionately educates children, and anticipates seeing all children get the education that they deserve. Knowing that children are the future of the nation, they are provided more than education, further emotional, intellectual and physical support by conducting different activities.

Under this programme, Mera Parivar will provide good and quality education to underprivileged children through digital education and children will learn more. Today devices such as Tablets, I- pads, Smartphones have become valuable educational tools to children in learning. 200 children will learn through 50 Tablets/I- pads. Mera Parivar is adding a device in the educational curriculum of classroom learning and teachers teach students using these devices. Tablets/I-pads are a useful tool in the classroom that can help reinforce concepts and increase student engagement and motivation to learn. Students from sixth to tenth standard students in the age group 10 – 17 years will be benefited and . Students will use the device twice a week and their classes will be based on rotation. Students from all three centers will be benefitted with this technology. Children will use the device under supervision and guidance of teachers.
