3. A VISION
Education is the mother
of leadership….. and a nation’s
progress depends on its leader!
The youth of a nation is the
reflection of its future.
To educate & encourage
education is probably a nation’s
key to success!
…..Schools,Colleges.Universities,Madrasahs had been & are still imparting knowledge to
innumerable scholars since ancient ages…..
With technological upliftment , came more basic and contemporary learning
solutions….TATA CLASSEDGE is one such endeavour….and yet it does not disregard the
importance of a TEACHER but values it and aims at being an ACADEMICIANS MAGIC
WAND!
4. TATA CLASS EDGE
Takes into account that every
individual student has a
particular learning style.
Learners can be of different
classes:-
TATA CLASS EDGE
hence aims at devising unique yet
simple tools for the teachers to
approach!
CONSEQUENCE????
Teachers can now deal with
a class comprising various
types of learners ….. at the
same time….

Being a part of the TATA Class Edge Team is
an enriching experience…..as we realise that

stereotype methods of
teaching, boards chalks and
dusters, constant mugging &
cramming…..to a better
learning experience!!!!
A PARADIGM SHIFT
7. Being naïve yet approaching to modify
the established teaching pattern of a
School was & is never an easy task…….
…..and yet tougher is to barge into the
stable mindsets of the experienced ,
successful & popular teachers &
academicians!
8. Moment of smile
Learning about
the teacher’s methods,
student categories
school curriculum
computer awareness
helped us to design our
workplan to prepare the school
for the scheduled “On AIR”
date…..
Communication with the school
management
Interaction with the teachers &
students paved our path towards a
smooth initiation!
all the hard work rewarded us
with the excited “AWESOME”
shrieks of the students in their
first class!

aims at….Making Learning a FUN
experience!!!!
9. Adding an Extra “EDGE”

could promise them some oppurtunities:-

teacher could get some points under particular
parameters of class edge like “multimedia
usage, presentation created, quiz created,
resource added, lesson plan viewed”….&
certified or rewarded on a quarterly/half yearly
basis!
REMIND-DOORS
Posters on class rooms walls, school
corridoors….might help teachers remind them
about the necessity of visiting class edge
centre regularly.
10. Adding an Extra “EDGE” ....
TEACHER . COM
Online social networking could be arranged so that
teachers from all over the world….(or within the
country) are able to interact….so that it can
inculcate newer ideas/methods…..for improved &
modified teaching!

arranged amongst teachers & TATA CLASS EDGE

Online teachers!

enables audio visual learning of the students!

23. Food for thought!
System:-the established system of traditional teaching
methods , the stereotype mindset is the greatest challenge
to be dealt with
Inhibitions:- Most of the senior experienced teachers
lack computer knowledge,hence an inhibition works in
trying to opt for e learning tools!
Content unavailability:- Content unavailability is another
major factor for computer, G.K, vernaculars.
Bug Problem:- Due to this problem, class room as well as
staff room usage may come to a halt.Even the content can get
hampered.
24. Single Portal for class edge & game edge

works,from which the absentees could retrieve the data!
“ Class edge live” through which every month students can exchange there
thoughts with those of other class-edge schools through any live debate , or any
