“There can be infinite uses of the computer and new age technology, but if the teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.”
Keeping this in mind, the college focuses on training student-teachers in integrating technology effectively in classroom teaching-learning. For this purpose, the college has well-equipped ICT facilities such as Hi-tech All-in-One Computers, Laptops, Printers, Scanners, Photocopier Machines, Interactive Projectors, Smart Boards, Video Conferencing Units, Digital Podiums, Information Kiosk, and Digital Signage.
Student-teachers are motivated to use ICT facilities and gather information related to theory and practicum. Free internet facility is provided to all student-teachers.
In a digital world, student-teachers must be prepared for new technologies and new ways of working. Developing these 21st-century skills in the classroom can transform the economy. Therefore, the college has been conducting computer classes for more than two decades to prepare techno-savvy student-teachers.
They are trained in the practical application of computers for tasks like preparation of letters, annotation, mark sheets, presentations, posters, using the internet in the teaching-learning process, and designing websites using HTML and Dreamweaver.
Student-teachers are also trained in using Smart Boards to enhance their effectiveness as techno-savvy educators. Various application software like Geogebra, NetLogo, Audacity, Focusky, My Movie, Camstudio, etc., are installed on computers to provide hands-on training and assist in the preparation of instructional material. This training helps them become effective digital-age teachers.
