- #50 Meet the student.He loves to play cricket, part of the debating society, he is the class monitor and loves reading books. Right now some of his achievements and interests are not given enough recognition. Hence sometimes the child feels demotivated in general to try out new things.
- #51 Every child is unique and should be treated that way. Highlight there achievements though profile pages which serves as a visual Feedback of ones achievements and progress in the institution. 1)Talk about traditional approach and how the focus is on exams only. This leads to ignoring a child’s achievements other than scholastic ones. 2) All current softwares still treats students as mere numbers and not unique individuals.3) Xplore captures all data scholatic and non scholastic!4) Give one example
- #53 Combine with flipped classroom.
- #54 Scenario where a child gets an assignment and find it boring and less interestingWith softwares its still the same assignment. Its just digital. How do we make it more interesting? And make a child want to do the assignment!
- #55 Traditional way more interesting + GBL + PBLIts more about what you learn from that activity. And not about just getting marks!
- #57 If you have a chain of schools.
