Theme: Redefining the perspectives of teaching Science.

Sub-Theme: 21st Century skills- Shift in teaching learning process.

Title of the Topic:

Raise the rockets (students) with technology blended pedagogy
 “Reform with Intent, Perform with Integrity,
Transform with Intensity must be our approach”
Narendra Modi –Honorable Prime Minister of India.
This is perfectly applicable to teachers as they work
with integrity, complete their task with transparency.
Teacher’s shape the next generation with inbuilt
values and produce future citizens. For this they
need Effective professional development.
Professional development is
not effective
unless the teachers change
their
traditional instructional
pedagogy
to technology blended
pedagogy.
 Many emerging technologies are using by some of the
teacher community in their teaching learning processes
and in Evaluation that are expected to change the frontier
of learning of the child.
Ex: Quiver, Mentimeter, PhET, Kahoot, Talking books,
Smartphone’s, Geogebra, Free plane, free mind like mind
mapping tools, Digital textbooks, Artificial intelligence,
Augmented Technology, 3D printing, Biometrics,
AR Anatomy, Virtual reality etc.
These technologies used to
support both teaching,
learning and evaluation.
Many of them are FOSS.
(Free and Open source
software).
 Quiver:
❏ Quiver Vision is a 3D augmented reality
App.
❏ Quiver Vision app deliver truly magical
experiences enjoyed by kids, parents, and
educators alike.
❏ “Quiver” is available on all operating
systems.
❏ Quiver Education provides the same
magical augmented reality coloring
experience.
❏ It is used in the languages, Maths and EVS
of Primary level and in Science at 6-7th
classes.
 Mentimeter:
❏ Mentimeter is the interactive presentation app.
❏ If we want to make our students feel involved by
enabling them to contribute to presentations with
smart phones/tabs and to show the results live,
Mentimeter is the best interactive version used
in the field of Education.
❏ We can pose the questions easily and within a
minute or two, we receive the responses from
every participant.
❏ This is used for the online voting, multiple
choice questions and answers to pose in the
classroom in the Formative assessment to get
quick responses and minimize the evaluation
burden.
 PhET (Physics Education Technology):
❏ PhET provides Free science and math
simulations for teaching STEM topics,
including physics, chemistry, biology, and
Maths.
❏ A simulation is an approximate imitation of
the operation of a process or system; that
represents its operation over time.
❏ In each and every simulation many variables
are there, we can manipulate the variables and
see the results.
❏ PhET is a suite of research-based interactive
computer simulations for teaching and
learning STEM topics.
 Free plane or Free mind:
❏ Free plane or Free mind are the mind mapping tools
which are available free and open source software.
❏ A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and
concepts.
❏ It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring
information, helping us to better analyze,
comprehend, synthesize, recall and
generate new ideas.
❏ Just as in every great idea, its power lies
in its simplicity.
❏ We can make our own mind maps and
we can export them as pictures also.
Talking
books
 Talking books:
❏ We received talking books from UNICEF and we
are using these books in the part of READ
programme.
❏ An audio book (or talking book) is a recording of a
book or other work being read aloud.
❏ Amplio’s digital solution is built around the
Talking Book, a rugged, easy-to-use audio device
designed for sharing knowledge with low- literate
adults and youth.
3D printing, Augmented and virtual reality
and Many more
 Conclusion and implications
Some implications are…
❏ Think beyond traditional science teaching,
implement STEP (Science Teaching through
Experiments and Projects).
❏ Activity based learning (Hands on- minds on).
❏ Positive attitude and temper about science and emerging
technologies.
❏ Students explore in to emerging trends in science Education.
❏ With these emerging technologies teacher can create
wonders, if he uses them positively and where ever
necessary.
