To ensure smooth implementation, a two-day training session for teachers on using smart boards began on Tuesday at the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee e-Library in Bajeria, in the presence of Additional Commissioner Vaishnavi B.
The session was attended by Education Officer Sadhana Sayam, IT Officer Swapnil Lokhande, Assistant Education Officer Sanjay Dighore, School Inspector Prashant Tembhurne, and Education Department Coordinator Bharat Gosavi.
The training aims to make both students and teachers tech-savvy. Trainers Dr. Prabhat Tiwari and Raju Kalbande from Mumbai conducted the workshop, guiding teachers on smart board hardware, software, and digital content handling. On the first day, 54 teachers were trained in using tools such as notepad, Devnagari and English language features, and school syllabus integration.
The program plans to train 200 teachers in four phases over two days. Trainers also addressed various queries from teachers, providing satisfactory and practical solutions to facilitate a seamless transition to digital teaching.
With this initiative, NMC aims to transform its schools into centers of modern education, bridging the digital divide and preparing students for the future.
