Thane | Sunday | 18th November, 2018

Summary:

We even have an online forum on Google so the students can exchange notes and interact with the teachers. They can also connect with our staff with regard to the transport arrangement. Our aim is to load the platform with video teaching modules done by our own teachers, a reservoir of questions - both subjective and objective, practice worksheets and YouTube links related to the chapters. This will enable parents to know what is being taught in the class.”Some schools have also curated special mobile applications, providing parents with separate log-in ids and passwords so they can monitor their child’s activities real-time.“We have a mobile application called Myclassboard through which parents will get information regarding school announcements, fee circulars, notices of extra-curricular activities etc. But for parents we are planning to organize a technology session wherein we will be explaining the basics of these applications as most of our parents are not much aware of the latest technologies ,” said Shilpa Jejurkar, Principal of Arunodaya Public School.Purushottam Pachpande, a tech-expert said, “Many schools are developing applications wherein parents can get an alert about what time their ward reached and left school premises.”.
