My journey through HIGH TECH HIGH

Name: GAUTAM BHATT

My Topic: - Implementing 21ST Century skills

through science.
As TGES always focus on individual professional growth and
development through training.I am one of the educators to be a
part of this training programme. Initially it was very difficult for
me as I was not inclined towards writing reflections, comments
etc.
There were plenty of ideas for changing my practices and
implementing Project Based Learning in my class but to put it on
paper and make a real project with students are kept at the
centre was difficult. This programme helped me to overcome this
difficulty. HTH invoke a spirit of writing in me. This is my biggest
take away from this.
Communication and Collaboration - Two words that we so
often use to describe what students are gaining from projects /
activities and assignments. Over the last one year I have realized
that it is not just about working in a team without any disputes or
presenting your project effectively in front of an audience. Scope
through PBL is far more than I have realized in my previous
years.

my colleague and my all trainers to guide me throughout this
programme.
