Main Points v v v Introduction Digital Citizenship Integrate Creativity in Hard Science Making Education more interactive Parental Engagement will become more Digitized Maker Space

Introduction Ø The year 2016 was a vibrant one for the education sector. Ø Several new developments took place and a gamut of themes and issues gathered pace to further transform the education landscape for the better. Ø The two biggest beneficiaries of these changes have been the learner, who is at the centre of the learning eco-system, and the teacher. 4

Ø Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley announced various benefits for students and education sector in India in his Budget 2018 speech. Ø Budgetary expenditure on health, education and social protection for 2018 -19 has been set at Rs. 1. 38 lakh crore against estimated expenditure of Rs. 1. 22 lakh crore in 2017 -18. 5

Digital Citizenship � Digital citizenship is going to become a crucial aspect. � It provides a safe opportunity for students to question, discuss and consider safe and appropriate use of technology. 6

Ø Digital citizenship is about providing the students with the tools and knowledge to make the right decisions. 7

Integrating Creativity In Hard Sciences � There has been a shift from teaching sciences as an insular, subject to teaching science so students can make useful connections with the real world. 8

Creating this shift helps Ø students see science in everything that we do, be it to think about mathematical proportions when making pancakes to using different measurements for ingredients, time for measuring beats in music or even working on projects in English, social studies and science. 9

MAKING EDUCATION MORE INTERACTIVE � Learning must be made interesting and fun, less intimidating for a range of learning styles. � A crucial element in learning is that children should not be told that they're way of thinking is wrong, instead encourage them to build on further insights in a positive way. 10

Ø This technique is in the line of the Socratic way of questioning and must be implemented in education as much as possible to encourage critical thinking, especially while introducing a new concept. 11

Ø Encouraging team work Ø It helps develop communication and problem solving skills in a cooperative way Ø It provides children the opportunity to present their solutions in their own way, while receiving feedback from other class members. 12

Parent Engagement Will Become More Digitized Digital age, parent engagement with the school and their children will become more digitized. Ø Parents will be able to receive communication from their school and individual teachers on the progress made by students. Ø 13

Maker Space � maker space provides hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering. 14

Ø A maker space takes collaborative elements from va science lab vcrafts corner vcomputer lab or van art room to create something of an impact. 15

Conclusion � Change is the only constant -- even in Education. � Education is benefitting from trends across sectors from the integration of technology to making hard sciences a more creative process to encourage innovation. � The landscape is changing year on year 16
