<br>
-------------------------------------------A brief note about the workshop<br>
----------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The use of ICT is increasingly becoming necessary for universal access to<br>
education for all. While<br>
several agencies are trying to develop the infrastructure, not much effort<br>
is being made in providing<br>
guidance, content creation, and empowering the teachers. We (at<br>
<a href="http://gnowledge.org" target="_blank">gnowledge.org</a> lab of HBCSE)<br>
have been giving workshops to teachers in proper use of ICT without<br>
neglecting the traditional<br>
modes of class room practices, and also train the teachers in use and abuse<br>
of computers and<br>
communication technology. We also link it to the general objectives and<br>
philosophy set in NCF<br>
2005 in the context of ICT use in the class room and empowering teachers.<br>
<br>
As a part of the workshop we will be also arranging a CD for all<br>
participants at a cost of Rs.100/-,<br>
which contains all the software used for the workshop. All the software is<br>
licensed for use in any<br>
number of installations within the state and can be distributed free of<br>
charge or for a nominal<br>
amount to all teachers, students, schools and colleges provided they are<br>
distributed with the same<br>
set of conditions.<br>
<br>
The workshop will introduce the main activities in the Sugar Platform (<br>
<a href="http://sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://sugarlabs.org</a>), as well<br>
as the special suit of applications present in the Gcompris (the latter is<br>
part of the Gnome desktop<br>
environment of GNU/Linux). The philosophy of constructivism and<br>
constructionism in the context<br>
of studio based learning will be introduced. The activities address language<br>
learning, mathematics,<br>
music, animation, turtle graphics (basic computing), presentation, recording<br>
(audio, video), art<br>
(painting and sketching), talking, mind/concept mapping etc. All the<br>
activities support<br>
collaboration. The computer records all transactions helping the teacher to<br>
know the achievements<br>
of children. Some of the topics in the workshop pertain to capacity building<br>
among teachers,<br>
collaborative construction of teaching/learning sequences, lesson planning<br>
etc.<br>
