For ICT in education to be a success, it cannot be a single subject, but rather an integral
part of all disciplines and the technology has to be seen as a pedagogic aide, not a goal in
itself.
In the light of the above the proposed workshops by DPPI are geared up to orient and equip
the target teachers with ICT knowledge and skills to enable them to integrate it in their
day to day teaching learning process to ensure quality education.
I am confident that the participating teachers will internalize the need for ICT integration
in school education and become inspiration to their colleagues in the schools.

Innovation Series
The Innovation Series from DPPI have been designed in special response to the
Presidential Initiative ‘Innovation in Education’. Sh. GP Chopra, President, DAV College
Managing Committee has emphasized on innovation in order to infuse creative ideas
resulting in new and efficient processes within the organization.
DPPI’s Innovation Series #1: Teacher training through EDUSAT- Through this path-
breaking initiative DPPI trained teachers of the board-bound classes VIII, X & XII located
all over India by teleconferencing through the first and only Indian educational satellite
EDUSAT. According to available statistical data 14000 teachers from DAV schools were
trained although it was avidly watched by other CBSE affiliated schools too. The training
provided an opportunity to the teachers to interact with the educational think-tanks of
Apex bodies that are involved in curriculum designing, creating instructional materials
and introducing innovations for systemic reforms in evaluation and assessment of student
performance.
DPPI’s Innovation series #2: Project E-Governance - The proposed project aims at
modernizing the systems of administration and financial management at DAV Schools by
using latest Information & Communication Technology (ICT) to make it fast, efficient,
transparent and accountable.
DPPI’s Innovation Series #3: Project E-Learning aims at integration of Information &
Communication Technology (ICT) in the teaching learning processes in order to improve
the quality of instruction in the classroom. The project takes into account the latest
research and innovations being done in the schools and colleges of education around the
world and recommends the most successful and innovative instructional techniques and
strategies in the classroom in order to encourage the schools to become learning
organizations.
Avoiding the Digital Divide
In today’s knowledge-based society, education and employment have become directly
related to proficiency in ICT skills and tools. In the schools where the computer, internet
and other learning technologies are not accessible to students, quality of education suffers
as the students are unable to compete in the global economy. The schools that have
managed to successfully integrate information and communication technologies into the
teaching and learning processes are able to create a class of confident and successful
professionals of internationally acceptable skills and standards.
However, in India ICT continues to remain niche area of a few schools in the urban areas,
with the majority of educational institutions in the semi urban and rural areas unaware
and untouched by its benefits, the biggest challenge before an educational organization is
to help the schools to overcome the digital divide so that they can join the mainstream
and avail the benefits of progress.
The challenge before us is to integrate ICT in the school curriculum and teaching-learning
processes and to provide our teachers and students with ICT knowledge and skills so that
they are able to function effectively in this dynamic, information-rich and continuously
changing environment. ICT integration in the learning process will truly achieve its
purpose if it is used as effective instruments of change that will help us revitalize our
educational processes.
UNESCO’s seminal document on ICT in Teacher Education, 2002, notes that new
technologies challenge the traditional paradigms of both teaching and learning by
suggesting new ways in which the learners and teachers can gain access to knowledge.
ICT provides an interesting array of tools such as educational software, multimedia
lessons, internet, websites, knowledge blogs that help in transforming the present
traditional, isolated, teacher-centered and text-bound classrooms into new rich,
interactive, virtual learning environs.
o Encourage the students think and actively construct their knowledge through
specially designed interactive tasks on the basis of their individual understanding.
o Discourage memory-based learning as these tasks aim at facilitating conceptual
understanding by involving learners to think critically and creatively.
o The tasks cater to a diverse set of learners in a classroom by having multiple sets of
problems with varying degree of difficulty which is normally not possible as the
traditional class caters to the average learner.
o The interactive and engaging learning tasks motivate the learners to try for higher
level of difficulty.
o The multimedia lessons also cater to the multiple intelligences giving learners a fair
opportunity to learn through their preferred medium.
o The multi-sensorial content leads to joyful learning for the learners.
o The learning takes place in a positive, non-threatening environment where there is
no fear of condemnation and students involved in inquiry, work collaboratively
with co-learners and teachers.
o Assessment becomes a part of the learning process as the learners achieve successive
milestones.
ICT integration in teaching learning process provides practical tools to support the
paradigm shift by facilitating the learners to access the vast amount of information
available and share, communicate, consult, and collaborate across vast distance. It also
gives them superior technological support to solve complex problems. It provides them
with smart tools to represent their knowledge with the help of attractive texts, flowcharts,
graphics, images, multi-media and power point presentations.
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has developed a set of
standard to provide guidance and consistency to the teacher-education programmes in
ICT. DPPI’s Teacher Training Curriculum for E-Learning has adopted these standards as
successive levels of learning for the DAV teachers:-
Teachers demonstrate a sound understanding of technology operations and
concepts
Teachers acquire skills of planning and designing learning Environments and
Experiences
Teachers workout strategies and methods to maximize student learning as per the
Curriculum
Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of assessment and evaluation
strategies
Teachers apply technology to enhance their own productivity and professional
practice
Teachers understand social, ethical, legal and human issues that surround the use of
technology & internet.
The above standards make it clear that due to the advent of technology in education the
teacher does not lose their importance rather they become precursors of change. Their
new role requires them to actively acquire new knowledge and skills so that they can
facilitate this transitional phase effectively.
There is a corresponding shift in the role of the learners too, who are more active and
responsible for their own learning now. It becomes imperative for a teacher to be
empowered with new skills to be able help and guide the learners to assume their new
role confidently.
The objectives of Project E-LEARNING are to orient and train the educators to –
Use ICT to introduce innovation and systemic reforms in the traditional paradigms
of educational pedagogy.
Create awareness, understanding and willingness among the teachers to modernise
the teaching learning process.
Capacity-building of school teachers to adopt and integrate ICT in the teaching
learning process.
Create subject-wise pool of computer/web based educational resources for all the
DAV schools to access, use and further develop to customize as per their
requirements.
The training curriculum for teacher education in ICT shall focus on the developing in the
teachers the:
Cognitive skills- new pedagogy
Hands-on –skills -Practical use of technology for classroom instruction
Values & Attitude – cooperative & lifelong learning and righteous conduct
Mode of Training
Subject-wise Workshops will be conducted for teachers. Giving them ample opportunity
for hands-on practice of creating multimedia lessons and cyber space for networking with
learners and peers.
Innovation is not new to education. Good educational leaders are constantly innovating to
improve the quality of education within their institutions. Systemic introduction of ICT
into the DAV school system will be a monumental innovation that will mobilize the
change process in all the 550 DAV institutions.
Management and monitoring of the change process at each of these schools will require
visionary academic leadership and sustained advocacy at various levels. Steering Teams
will be formed under each Region Director comprising of local subject experts, ICT
resource persons, computer teachers outlining their roles and tasks. These teams will not
only lend impetus to the implementation to this programme, but will also customize the
programme to the school’s needs helping the schools to draw up individual plans as per
the available resources, within the stipulated objectives and time-frame. The Head of the
School guided by the regional Steering Team shall be actively involved in the
implementation of Project ICT within the school for –
