How Coding improves Brain Development: Leapwaters Coding Camp

The world is full of opportunities, it is just we need to tap into the right one at the right moment. In the past one and half years, children are bound indoors and another few months too due to COVID 19 pandemic. They will be at home for a longer time than any time before. While children learn many life skills going to school, kids are now coping up with their studies online and also they try to keep themselves busy so that there is no dull moment in a day.  

Parents seek different kinds of activities to keep the child busy. Mostly the development in children takes place at early ages and tapping this valuable time into some useful activities is most important. It is also important to understand the child's interest because one will explore things themselves if they participate wholeheartedly. Accordingly, parents can plan out what is most beneficial for the child to keep them happy and productive. With passing months child's brain starts accepting the physical boundaries but we can surely keep kids energetic in effective ways.  

The Future of Education in India – Why Are We Excited?

Everything around us is constantly changing. But one prominent change, especially in the pandemic era, is the current education system. With the world moving towards a norm where almost everything is online-based, teaching systems are also transforming with new reforms under the New Education Policy, and hopefully, this will bring about many bright changes to develop the future of India. 

How change developed in the Education System:

The world is in the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and people around the globe are trying their best to normalize life while accepting the challenges of physical distancing. We all are working with grit and determination to continue to learn, and students are showing their eagerness towards accepting the new forms of learning. One change in the education system that is evident is that each student is made to balance their studies while having to learn new traits of technology. Students are forced to juggle education with technology. 

How NEP 2020 will benefit future India:

We have focused on many sections of NEP 2020 in our #EducationForAll series and I would like to highlight on how the Education sector is gearing towards a bright future for students in India. Under the NEP 2020, all rural areas are to get connected with online education, so that no student is deprived of knowledge and the chance to learn from experts. Now students in the villages can listen to and learn from professors and teachers from universities far from home. Education can bring a change in perspectives of students regardless of their background. The highlighted points of NEP 2020 visions for the growth of the education field, resulting in the growth of each aspiring student who can manifold the growth of our nation. To build a nation with a progressive approach, NEP 2020 will certainly need tremendous work done by all the people in the education field.

Let us focus on how India is emerging in the EdTech world and ranking high with all its efforts.

Women and education were totally on different pages a few centuries ago but as time passed women understood the power of education and proved their mettle to the world.

Steps to preserve Languages in Education System : #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

A language plays an important role that boasts about the affluent culture, rich heritage, diverse perspective, strong belief, profuse literature, extravagant music, and renounced art of a particular region. Every culture's reflection is the way we use our language. It is important to understand a regional language that generates a sense of great bonding and helps to mould completely. 

Can you imagine the World without Language?

We cannot imagine this world without any language. The medium of communication is very important to know each other and improve our perspective about other regions, and countries therefore, breaking all the social barriers. Thus, a language encases our culture and individuality.

But, it’s a sad truth that most of the languages are losing its ground as it is not practiced either in spoken or written form. When a language is lost, the expressions and values get diminished with it. It’s very important to preserve our language and to emphasize its importance our new education policy is encouraging the use of regional languages in the school curriculum.

Solution to Education vs Hunger Pangs : #MidDayMeals #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

We are going to ponder upon a very important aspect of #EducationForAll series of #CauseAChatter. Let us first read this fiction story titled ‘Difficult Decision’ before we move ahead.

_______________________________________________________________

It was fine sunny morning, and the time when Kriti was sipping a cup of tea, while reading newspaper. She had finished her morning chores, and Kamu her helper was washing utensils, when suddenly she heard; “I want to , I want to Maa”. Kriti folded newspaper and took her cup to walk to backyard where she saw Vishnu crying and pleading to his mother.

“I will go to school today Maa, I can’t be at home.” said Vishnu in a shivering voice.

 

“Why not, I will myself drop you there; you won’t miss the school” replied Kamu with a heavy heart.

“That’s good Kamu, your son is so passionate about the studies, and one day he will become a successful man” Kriti said.  She gave Vishnu a packet of stationery and story book and patted him.

7 reasons to add Moral Education period in Schools : #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

We have always heard about how education is very important aspect of life. You can refer our previous posts to know how education helps and has importance in us in various walks of life. Knowledge of subjects and its application does complete our education at certain level or is there something else that is being not focussed. Is there an area of development of child that is being completely neglected. Let us say for example a Robotic Engineer will have all the learnings about the design, the AI systems and physics involved in building a robot so, we can say engineer is a well-educated successful person. 

 

But can we also assume that this robotic engineer also has qualities like responsible, sensible, open minded and good human being. No we cannot, for that we also need moral education to be part of our education system.

 

Schools in the rush to complete huge syllabus and focussing on sports and extra co-curricular activities the exclusive moral science period is not added in curriculum. And due to this there are many situations in life where a topper student also fail to understand simple or sometimes misses to understand basic human behavioural traits.

 

3 Pillars for Right Education : #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

Education comes to us in varying forms and styles for example through formal learnings in class rooms and informal way through experiences of life. The learning curve progresses towards positive scale and allows us the power to judge what is right for us, for our family, for our society we live and our nation. 

Gaining knowledge is not a process that has some specific time frame, it walks with us throughout our life making us little by little educated. The three step process that can clear the haze of understanding the fine line between good and bad is to Accept, Adapt and Reflect. Education gives the power to control all the these.

In the third post in the series #EducationForAll with Blogchatter under #CauseAChatter let us focus on how these 3 steps can make a smooth sail in tough times of life as an individual and as society.

Through Online classes one can do all these very well, repeating the concepts and that too in their most effective time.

We all would agree that few students are morning learners and few are night ones, through these Online education one can cross the time barrier with their feasibility to study.

What is importance of EDUCATION in life: #EducationForAll #CauseAChatter

We are taking up #EducationForAll series for #CauseAChatter campaign of Blogchatter and in first post we will discuss the importance of education in our lives. This is the first post in this series and lets begin with the basics and the intent behind this topic.

What is EDUCATION:

Education teaches us how to respond to life situations with our knowledge and experience. We all will agree to this that wisdom gained from education can be applied in life though the lessons learnt are ages old. Real education is to impart knowledge to students to lead a happy and independent life. Isn’t we all want to implement what we learn and apply the same with a collaboration of like-minded people in an organisation or as an individual.

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” ~ Albert Einstein. What a profound thought by Albert Einstein that remains true till date. What we learn in formal education is just one part of the coin, the other part is to implement it through thoughts and actions. Education fills the void and makes it for use with a purpose. Finding purpose in life with education leads to enormous gates of opportunities. You need not be educated in a stream that is popular or just because your peer are choosing it instead one should be studying the stream where he/she can relate to an use the same in future.

But before we head to what one should opt and why, lets discuss importance of the same in our lives.
