It is 630pm on the 23rd of September 2012.
How does a teacher effectively engage the attention of, and excite the interest levels of those students who are “back-benchers” (I was recently advised that the politically-correct terms that we use for such students is to call them “pupils with low learning behavioural patterns”)?
I am glad to know that technology does provide solutions, and was recently fortunate enough to get a demonstration of one such solution from a start-up Anglo-American joint venture called 3DHub. (Check out on YouTube for over 57 videos of how this technology helps learn and teach).
What I am now keen to know is how such technologies and solutions can be extended on a commercial (yet affordable) basis to leapfrog the primary and secondary school education systems in Asian and African countries and benefit teachers and pupils in these countries. What innovations in delivery models need to be piloted? Will the Microsoft model of bundling operating software do the trick, as governments work with makers of tablets to deliver affordable systems to millions of schools?
Hope you are having a great weekend.
