 Best School in Kumbakonam Using Visual Programming Languages - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

School education in the early years involves much drill, repetition and rote learning. The child has to learn the alphabet of the language of his education, learn vocabulary, pronunciation and elementary reading skills; be able to recognize objects, their features and relationships; and learn basic concepts and skills of arithmetic and geometry. The teaching community has developed many techniques to reduce the drudgery of drills and rote learning in early primary education such as group activities, games, songs and play-acting. However, these techniques are intense in terms of teacher-student interaction. The field of computing has the potential to contribute much to helping teachers in making early learning experience of children enjoyable and efficacious. The present work reports development of PAL - Platform for Assisted Learning. PAL is a platform for aiding understanding of concepts and learning of basic skills in areas mentioned above. Its special features are that it 
(1) uses open source software resources for content creation, 
(2) makes it fairly easy for the content authors to create their own content in a uniform manner, 
(3) enables content creation involving animation, audio, and video with rich interaction, and 
(4) enables tracking and adaptive guidance.
 
As can be seen from the previous section, VPLs are almost always employed in programming education for young children. It is especially true in Japan. To the best of our knowledge, VPLs such as Scratch, Viscuit, and Squeak eToy are used in most of the reports about Japanese programming education for young children. One reason for this could be the peoples’ belief that typing English words required in TPLs was too difficult for the children because they did not learn English in primary schools. However, it is not that clear if typing English words are too difficult for Japanese primary schoolchildren. More Info

 
 
Duncan, Bell, and Tanimoto  suggested that TPLs could be used in the programming education for students aged between 8 and 14. Also, some papers suggest that programming languages should be switched from VPLs to TPLs at some stages of advancement because most professional programmers use TPLs . Booth and Stumph  suggested that task type mattered in learners’ self-efficacy rating, and TPLs would be better for writing programs from scratch.  Click Here

Karthi vidhyalaya http://www.karthividhyalaya.com/   This exploratory case study research describes the integration of ICT in the learning of English, mathematics and science in an elementary level future school in Singapore. As technology or computer use and the Internet are very closely linked and at times seem to be synonymous, this case study research explores students’ usage of online software applications that are commonly available online with relatively low or no financial cost (i.e., open-source online software applications). These online software applications are: learning management systems, blogs, emails and chats communication platforms, online educational games, online videos and Internet searches. The numbers of schools are decreasing, and they are being centralized in main towns. The cost of education for rural students is increasing, and the traffic accident increasing too. Most rural students are required to board in school, away from ...

KARTHI VIDHYALAYA http://www.karthividhyalaya.com/   The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model (see Figure 3) is the generic course design process that instructional designers and training developers have traditionally used. The initial steps in this model are to analyze educational needs, profile prospective school participants, and identify available resources. IWSGC course designers concluded that prospective participants should be enthusiastic and ambitious researchers who have recently started or are about to start working on Grid projects. Participants with diverse backgrounds were encouraged to apply. Aiming at a roughly beginner audience scattered across the world, the IWSGC design involved a fully distributed (online) delivery mode A virtual learning environment of some sort is, of course, central to supporting an online distance learning course. Various levels of sophistication can be selected, from a basic o...

Integrating Learning, Gamification, and Social Context in ICSE Education - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School

 Integrating  Learning, Gamification, and Social Context in ICSE Education - Karthi Vidhyalaya International ICSE School We present an approach in STEM education at the intersection of machine learning, gamification, and social context based in Thailand. We designed an agricultural based AI challenge that fostered students to learn the process of creating machine learning models in the form of a game with the emphasis on the Four P's of Creative Learning (Projects, Passion, Play, and Peers). Our goal is to come up with an innovative education model that encourages the students to connect the emerging technological solutions such as AI with the pressing realworld problems in the playful environment. We found that machine learning can be used as a tool to successfully conduct interdisciplinary education at the middle school level.   The modern framework on constructionism in learning developed by MIT Media Lab is focusing on the intersection of ...
