•The Internet is a source of research, interactivity, and socializing (they prefer it over TV).

In this video we discuss the key differences among the Digital Natives (Students) & the Digital Immigrants (Teachers)
-How both approach the Technology
-What are the foundations of conditioning for both
-Why Teachers need to adopt the new learning model
In this video we focus on the changes the Digital Immigrants (Teachers) need to make by
•Stop Comparing
•Ability to “Forget the old” and “Admit the New”.
•Curriculum Revision alone wont help at all
•We need to “Jump Start”
•Positivity, developing mind set.
In this video we continue with the further changes the Digital Immigrants (Teachers) need to make through
•Creativity
•Break through Innovation
•Considering “Minute” as “BIG”
•Reliance on Tech-based solutions (gadgets etc)
Specially formalized “visits to nature”
Students must visit gardens, shall appreciate plants
Shall “speak” to the trees and plants
Must feel them
Will develop patience, high EQ level, empathy and self actualization
•Reading and Writing Sessions

•The students must read books with the help of teachers
•They must be given “freedom” to write whatever they want
•Group Based Quiz and Class Tests
•Will promote cooperation among students
•Importance of Team Building

SPARE THE ROD, ADOPT THE REASON
•Read more and more of non-fiction
•General articles, Books on Futurism
•Learn to “reason”, be more analytical
•Elaborative and fact based information
•Learn the silent language of modern age students
•Learning common child behaviors on psychological spectrum
In This video we look at the role to be played by the institutions to facilitate the Digital Immigrants (Teachers) to get convenient with this model. They can
•Promotion of Sensitivity to “Nature”
•Patience must have no limits, develop a culture of cooperation among staff (Trainings, specially for Emotional and Cultural Intelligence)
•Teaching environment to be more “open”
•Approaching elements in “psychological terms”
•Above and Beyond the “Curriculum”
•Voluntary Curriculum upgrades in the light of future skills.
•Practical Approach
