The Solution
The entire concept of a technology enabled classroom is based on the "Cognitive Learning Approach" which has been the most widely accepted theory of the learning process. The cognitive approach, which recognizes the close relationship between that which is known and that which is to be learned, proceeds to build on this knowledge base by helping students associate new material with something that is familiar. Productive teaching occurs when this new link is established. Therefore, an effective teacher who uses cognitive strategies will incorporate many devices into a lesson to assist the student in this linking process. Audio-visual aids, demonstrations, simulations, rhymes, acoustics, acronyms, and patterns are some linking devices available to the teachers.

Relevance of the solution at your School

Traditional classrooms where learning essentially takes place are transformed to interactive learning centres where the teacher can utilize various digital aids to assist her in the teaching process in addition to the conventional chalk and talk method. This solution takes on a higher level of significance since it is incorporated in the classroom itself where the teaching-learning activities actually take place. The digital classroom has two main dimensions i) eClassroom ii) iClassroom eClassroom is a learning model where a Plasma television is integrated with the traditional classroom learning process and visual inputs complement the teachers instruction and guidance, making the class more lively and interactive thereby improving the students grasp of the subject being taught. In the case of iClassroom there is an interactive white board and projector which can be used by the teacher to communicate with her class using both visual association and text instruction, enabling a more in depth understanding of the topic.
