Technology in Teaching Learning

I recently had the opportunity to visit Khan Nagar High School in Cuttack and was impressed by some of the teachers, who are actually making efforts in effectively integrating technology as part of their day to day teaching learning. I was impressed by the passion displayed by some of the teachers in going about collaborative projects on triangles - different types and preparation of hydrogen gas. 
They meticulously went about grouping the students and making them observe and note down the critical points as they went about their activities and to round it up making use of computers - EDUKIT and their own resources as a final summing up of the same. The students did enjoy the sessions and did pose a number of questions, that made the class enjoyable and fun and some of the students, even made a presentation at the end.
