Alphabet Literacy, Numeracy - Digital Literacy is also Important

Technology has to drive education to create digital literacy along with alphabet literacy and numeracy. Teachers are still stuck to their talents in oral and textbook based teaching.

SMART Classroom - Role of Teachers and Students

S  - Social
M - Mobile
A - Active
R - Responsive
T - Technology

SMART Classrooms are made possible by technology. But many teachers are yet to use them to their full power. I my self still do not know how to use mobiles and tablets fully. I am a very active blogger for ten years. But till recently, I did not use laptop much.  So in this SMART every socieity teacher has to learn first how to use mobiles and tablets and then how to use them for improving learning.

Excerpts from a paper

Today the concept of “bring your own device (BYOD)” makes any classroom a “smart classroom.”

As of 2014, 86% of undergraduate students own a smart device, and 47% own a tablet.

Make yourself available on social channels.

New Virtual University - Founder - Prof. Christine Ortiz - Former Dean MIT

The plan is to begin with a campus in the Boston area that she hopes will grow to about 10,000 students and 1,000 faculty members — about the size of MIT.


The fundamental idea is to put all knowledge on web servers and make knowledge acquisition process virtually online. There’s a great quote by [the former MIT president Charles M. Vest] on the emergence of the metacurriculum, and he predicted it 10 or 15 years ago, that the virtually open curriculum metacurriculum would be emerging. It is happening today. The bet is that  the evolution is now growth phase in the life cycle. It is time to  take advantage of that contribute to the development of new learning institutions based on reengineered learning and teaching practices using new technology.
