Come on Teachers We Can Do it !

This post is dedicated to the teacher fraternity in India.

Do you all remember the expression of your child when you first introduced them to the idea of school. Well, if not then try taking about technology and its use in education to our teachers. You may find a better expression than what you had expected it to be !!

Well, on practical grounds overpopulated classes, low wages, stringent deadlines and lack of social recognition are some of the factors that have made teachers feel undone for long. But being submissive to all this has hasn’t helped the fraternity at all. One of the ways to improve this condition is to collaborate with each other, involving students and make ourselves accountable. I have seen numerous teachers in America, Britain and Australia sharing their ideas, views on their blogs. Often, this has helped children to understand their mentors better and has helped them in communicating in better way.

By no way, I say that there are no teachers in India who are not striving to achieve this. But the efforts need more momentum, more vigor and more accountability. Some famous blogs by professors on web are mentioned at http://theelearningcoach.com/elearning2-0/12-blogs-by-professors/.

I have been following the blog http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org by Scott McLeod. He surely comes up as a pro technology guys, but has added numerous resources to help teachers to come over their fear of technology. The blog advocates about the various responsibilities of an education system, teachers, society and each individual.

So come on now, it's a show time for all of us to show how concerned are we about our next generations and to those to follow them.
