Education is the mother of  leadership….. and a nation’s progress depends on its leader! The youth of a nation is the reflection of its future. To educate & encourage education is probably a nation’s key to success!

…..Schools,Colleges.Universities,Madrasahs had been & are still imparting knowledge to innumerable scholars since ancient ages…..

With technological upliftment , came more basic and contemporary learning solutions….TATA CLASSEDGE is one such endeavour….and yet it does not disregard the importance of a TEACHER but values it and aims at being an ACADEMICIANS MAGIC WAND!

REMIND-DOORS Posters on class rooms walls, school

corridoors….might help teachers remind them about the necessity of visiting class edge centre regularly.

Play, Pause, Explain: When teachers are playing any multimedia content they should explain the subject play & pause the mms.This enables audio visual learning of the students!

Food for thought!

System:-the established system of traditional teaching methods , the stereotype mindset is the greatest challenge to be dealt with

Inhibitions:- Most of the senior experienced teachers lack computer knowledge,hence an inhibition works in trying to opt for e learning tools!

Content unavailability:- Content unavailability is another major factor for computer, G.K, vernaculars.

Bug Problem:- Due to this problem, class room as well as staff room usage may come to a halt.Even the content can get hampered.
