6 Ways to Ensure Productivity with Technology Time in the Classroom

 India’s Legacy in EdTech



India has long been a global tech leader, and integrating technology into education enhances learning, exploration, and engagement. However, technology only works well when implemented effectively, or it risks wasting valuable learning time.


6 Key Practices for Productive Technology Use in Classrooms


Set a Clear Purpose

Students should know why they're using a platform—whether for review, practice, or learning new content. Clear goals improve engagement and focus.


Establish Structures


Organize how and when tools are used. For example, station rotations allow teachers to support students while others engage independently in gamified or research activities.


Create Reliable Systems


Have systems for device use, login issues, and tech routines. Avoid disruptions by planning for common tech hiccups in advance.


Monitor and Ensure Accountability


Track student progress, usage time, and outcomes. Use platform data to hold students accountable and assess effectiveness.


Prepare for Tech Glitches


Expect technical issues and assign go-to tech helpers. Keep how-to guides handy and ensure teachers aren’t left alone in troubleshooting.


Celebrate Successes


Recognize student and teacher achievements—milestones, improvements, or consistent usage—to boost morale and reinforce tool value.


Conclusion


Tech in education can be messy but purposeful planning, strong systems, and ongoing support ensure technology time is meaningful, not wasted. With the right foundation, tech becomes a powerful tool for learning and growth.

IISc to Empower Tribal Students as Future Semiconductor Leaders

Image
 Bridging the Gap: Empowering Tribal Students in Semiconductor Technology The semiconductor industry, essential for powering modern technologies like smartphones and satellites, remains largely inaccessible to marginalized communities in India. Despite a strong engineering talent pool, representation from Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in semiconductor fields is minimal, with reserved seats often going unfilled. To address this gap, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have launched a fully sponsored semiconductor training programme for tribal students from rural areas. Hosted at IISc’s Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE), the initiative aims to equip students with industry-relevant skills and open doors to high-tech careers. A Tiered Learning Approach The programme is divided into three modules: Exposure Module (2–3 weeks): Introductory overview of semiconductor tech. Foundation Module (60 days): ...
