Students of Kennedy school in Guntur get a feel of interactive learning processes on Wednesday.

GUNTUR: The starry-eyed students of Class 6 on the Merit Campus of the Kennedy School could not stop taking their eyes off the board.

The black board has gone and in its place, a gleaming digital interactive board with a guiding console beckons the student to explore the frontiers of knowledge.

As the teacher explains the concepts with drawings, paintings, figures and sketches, and the students are excited.

A series of five interactive classrooms were inaugurated on the Kennedy School premises on Wednesday ushering a revolutionary change in the curriculum-based conventional methods of teaching. Guntur-Krishna Teacher constituency MLC K.S. Lakshmana Rao, Acharya Nagarjuna University College, Principal, G.N. Brahmanandam and R.V.R J.C College of Engineering, Vice-Principal B. Raveendra Babu were present.

“This is the first-of-its kind concept in Guntur and we are confident that the students would benefited a lot by the interactive mode of teaching, where the existing classrooms are converted into technology enabled knowledge centres,” said Srikar, director of the school.

The school has procured the required hardware and software components from Bengaluru-based Edurite Technologies.

The vast database of curriculum-based digital content would be beamed across the classrooms with interactive digital boards.

Teachers could use digital resources like, animations, video clips and simulated models as teaching aids providing a sensory learning experience.

“We will fully integrate the technology-based knowledge learning processes with the main curriculum from the next academic year,” Mr. Srikar added.
