Blended Education

Blended Education

Blended education is the combination of face to face learning along with digital learning.

Digital learning involves learning things online such as coding, programming, making PowerPoints, etc. it is not only using a computer but making use of it to learn.

Another important segment of blended education is learning physically which is equally significant. It is the traditional style of brick and mortar education. The improvisation is that digital learning and physical learning work parallel.

Learning online does not work alone. Students will enjoy watching a movie or playing an online game but when it comes to studying online, they have to be convinced. Here the teacher has to motivate the students, assign suitable program or study material for them and create hands on projects. Students have to be confident and believe that what they are doing is valuable.

Teachers can upload assignments, notes and lecture videos online so that students can access them any time. This would save a lot of time and teacher need not repeat the topic.

Students learn better with pictures and diagram. These days, online tutoring platforms offer such environment which makes us feel physically present over there.


For blended education, different types of modules are used. One of them is the rotational module. In this module, students are divided into small groups. Each group does different tasks in a rotational form. For example- one group interacts with the teacher, another group collaborates and discusses a topic and the other one works on computer. This saves time as well as facilitates better understanding.

Blended education is a new normal for future schools because gives more time for teacher student interaction, eases concepts and prepares students for upcoming technologic future.

I would like to conclude with a brilliant quote by Albert Einstein-

Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think.

A Day In Village

 A day in Village We planned a holiday to a village near our city. I had never been to village so was quite excited. We prepared the entire road map to village that included bus, Tonga and a long distance walk. Next morning we woke up at 4am and got ready by 6 to catch the bus. It took us around 2 hours to reach Pakhli. There we took a Tonga and headed our way towards Basri. In about an hours’ time we reached Basri. The way to village is an alley, three kilo meters away from Basri, so pedestrian walk was the only option. It took around an hour to reach the village. As we reached, we had sugarcane juice and locally available snacks. We took some rest and thereupon outset for a jaunt on a bullock cart, enjoyed the sweet-smelling, fresh air , saw clean muddy roads, farmland studded with maize, men and women working in fields, village post office, hospital, panchayat, school and a lot many things that were a way different from city. I could hear students rhyming rhymes, which reminde...

Acknowledgement to Teachers

5th September is the birth anniversary of our former president, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. This day gives us an opportunity to express our gratitude and respect towards our teachers, the notable personalities, who create, construct, build and give shape to our future. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam has paraphrased that- “Teachers are the backbone of any country, the pillar upon which all aspirations are converted into realities.” Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan was an Indian scholar, philosopher, a skilled, experienced, and respected political figure. He served as the vice president and the second president of India. He believed that "teachers should be the best minds in the country." Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan has quoted that- " The end product of education should be a free creative man, who can battle against historical circumstances and adversities of nature". The light of the world, the beacon in the dark and the hope that gives us strength to survive, is ou...

A Scary Day(fiction)

Image
A SCARY DAY We had recently shifted to Kuldhara, a village near Jodhpur, didn’t knew many people. There were rumors for the village to be haunted, tales about a cruel tribal queen, who had passed away and her evil soul was wandering in search of peace. It was 16 th  of December, a cold day. I was in class two. I had been listening stories about graveyard behind the school, scary know. I was terror-stricken as usual to and fro to, a daily routine for me. I headed my way towards home, to discuss the issue with parents, but I found the doors locked! Eerie thoughts took over me. In no time I went to the  neighbor's house and to the extent of my surprise nobody was there. I ran to my friend's house a kilo-meter away.  I almost got a creepy feeling of someone following me. My nerve was on wane and  again and again I looked back,  completely puzzled. I somehow managed to reach the friend's house. What's going on, doors closed! cant believe! It was late evening and ...

Television Hampers The Mental and Physical Growth

  Television Hampers The Mental and Physical Growth Of a Child I would like to begin with a brilliant quote: "When you finish watching a TV series, you don’t know what to do with your life anymore…" What happens when we watch TV, we cultivate negative energy. Most of what we see is bad news, disasters and wars, violence and horror movies. What we see we believe and inculcate in our lives. Our mind is the most impressionable one; anything printed wrong on it is difficult to remove and thereby reflects in our personality. One good reason, why to watch TV, does it make you any smarter, think smarter? Television certainly has much to offer and without any doubt is a great invention, but when it comes to relying on it, weather to be informed or entertained, it can affect us negatively as most of the TV shows are fictions and provide a shrewd view of the world around us. It’s a universal fact that students spend most of their time watching TV than any other activity. Time ...

Discipline

  Discipline Discipline is habit, practice and experience designed to develop and grow certain qualities. Discipline is the training of mind and character. Self-discipline refers to controlling your own actions. You move your feet regularly one after the other, nobody forces you to do so; similarly, sun rises in the east and sets in the west; earth revolves round the sun and everything in the universe is under discipline. We need discipline at every step of life, even in such free and natural actions such as breathing and blinking. All things ongoing in the society will come to a standstill. We are firstly taught to be disciplined at homes. We learn social etiquette and inculcate respect towards our parents and elders. We are taught all this with affection and when needed, punishment. The training of the significant skill is continued at school and further we learn from our society. Discipline makes us respect laws in society. If we are set free to whatever we feel like,...

Suicide Awareness(Article)

Image
"The epic story of tomorrow can't be written if it ends today" Nearly one lakh people commit suicide every year in India. There are nearly 8 lakh suicide cases every year around the world. In 2019, the age group of 18-45 years, accounted for 67% of the total cases in India. Suicide is a behavior, which is motivated by the desire to escape psychological pain. Now the most important question arises; what is the cause of suicidal thoughts? Is the problem being so big that it cannot be tackled up? Is the problem being so huge that ending one’s life is the only solution? Suicides are a result of mental trauma which is caused by disturbing experiences in childhood, death or separation from near ones, bullying, loss of social status, bad physical appearance, bad academic results, loss of job and various other reasons. Our mind is very sensitive; any disturbing event gets printed on it and affects one’s life forever. “Haters cause depression, depression causes suicide”. Hateful c...

Inventions-Rural Minds!!

  “Necessity is the mother of invention” when there is a need for something and it’s difficult to workout, inventions and innovations take place, people tend to find ways, either with resources or without resources. There are instances to this- A girl, Remya Jose, invented a leg powered washing machine to help her mother wash clothes, Raghav Govda, invented a machine to easily milk cattle. In a country like India where the population is so high, majority can’t afford to buy high priced products but we can’t skip the requirements. Farmers who plough the fields can’t afford a tractor. People in the villages don’t have hospitals in vicinity, face water scarcity, electricity problems etc. These are day to day problems and here comes the need to invent. Today, we live in 21 st century and we all use technology. Nowadays, no one can imagine life without smartphone but what about those who have never seen electricity? Today children are given analytical approach to learning but what...

Van Mahotsav

Image
  Van Mahotsav   Van Mahotsav is a tree planting week celebrated in the month of July from 1 st to 7 th of July. It was initiated in 1950 by K.M. Munshi, the then union agricultural minister to raise awareness for the conservation of forest and trees. Van Mahotsav as the name suggests festival of trees or celebration of trees. Why do we celebrate a festival or celebrate something, when it has something to do with us, when it has some significance in our lives. According to me, an Mahotsav is not only to raise awareness for conservation of trees but also to make people understand their significance. Trees play a vital role for our environment and our existence. Trees most importantly provide us oxygen, they bring rain, reduce pollution, prevent abrupt raise in temperature, provide us fruits and vegetables and many other uncountable things. Trees are an asset and we merely cut them down for our selfish purposes. Imagine a situation where the natures takes back its reve...
