    New Delhi (India), May 2: Technological advancements of this era have revolutionized every field of life. Teaching is no exception. ICT-based instructional practices have noticeably paved their way into the profession of pedagogy around the world. However, the majority of Indian schools are not catching up to technology use in classrooms.

    The average school in India is equipped with a computer lab, but not much beyond that. In addition, parents are increasingly looking for schools that offer new learning tools to prepare children for the digital future. Realising this rapid development early, Ramagya School, Noida is redefining India’s old-age education by integrating technology into education, which is driven by the best global practices based on research and innovations.

    Ranked as the 4th best School in Noida by the times school survey and under top 30 schools in India by Forbes, Ramagya School understands that through the latest technology learning has become even more fun than before.

    Mr. Utkarsh Gupta, Managing Director, Ramagya Groupsaid,“From using smart classrooms to game-based learning, students at Ramagya School are more inclined to learn and grasp knowledge with a tech-enabled mode of teaching. Emerging as one of India’s top Schools, Ramagya School is most suitable for students who wish to go the extra mile to grasp information that is way ahead of their course curriculum, as it combines the power of technology with the infrastructure of a traditional learning environment.”

    So let’s understand how Ramagya School’s modern stratagem towards learning outpaces the traditional learning methods offered in most other Indian schools:

    INFRASTRUCTURE & FACILITIES:

    Labs
    Laboratories are the most important infrastructure of an educational institution. Ramagya School has got a ‘Composite Science Lab’ to enable the practical knowledge of students by doing. The lab provides an open environment for students to experiment and do research work. The School also possesses a full suite 3D lab that provides a unique learning experience to students when it comes to observing the curriculum concepts in the 3D format. It helps the students to visualize concepts through these specialized learning modules in a thought-provoking manner with the help of a stereoscopic 3D projection system, 3D electronic viewing glasses and above all a specially designed 3D curriculum library. With a vision of promoting education in the best way possible, Ramagya has also introduced Atal Tinkering Laboratories (ATLs) in the school, where children get a chance to work with tools and equipment to understand the concepts of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

    Learning through Virtual Realty
    Ramagya School’s constant endeavour is to provide the latest digital technology to make learning impactful and everlasting. As a part of their latest offering, they have introduced virtual reality labs for the teaching of STEM with 450 modules having breathtaking content in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. Veative’s VR Tools enable teachers to manage content, plan lessons and track student’s progress. Moreover, this customized syllabus helps in planning the modules as per their syllabic requirement and thus makes learning effective.

    Smart Classrooms

    At Ramagya School, the advent of a smart classroom has brought in a revolution as it has turned classrooms into high-tech learning environments. These interactive classrooms offer much better teaching efficiency for teachers and learning situations for students. They also promote the students’ active learning and improve the results of the curriculum.

    CURRICULUM:

    Robotics
    Ramagya has introduced robotics in their school years so that students can discover their interests and talents in this field. Students get an opportunity to create something tangible and make it perform the actions that they program it to do. Not a lot of fields combine creativity with engineering and technology—robotics does.

    Flexi-Learning

    Ramagya’s customized learning programme, ‘flexi learning’ uses the latest technology to impart education in form of live demo classes, peer to peer learning, online study material and assignments and flip classes by expert and experienced faculty from IIT to facilitate the learning process of the young and ambitious learners. These exclusive features of the Ramagya make it distinct from the other top schools in Noida.

    Computer Programming

    Today, in the computer age, not all schools teach coding in early childhood, resulting in a major gap in the requirements of the new world and our children’s skills. The collaboration of Ramagya School with WhiteHat Jr. serves to empower a whole generation to become creators versus consumers of technology.  They teach fundamentals of coding-logic, structure, sequence and algorithmic thinking to enable kids to generate creative outcomes like websites, animations and apps. Through this program, students learn the fundamentals of coding, structure, sequence and algorithmic thinking to generate creative outcomes like animations and apps. All classes are taught Live 1:1 Online in the comfort of your home by top teachers and subject matter experts.

    Genius Corner

    Ramagya knows that students learn in different ways and at different paces. Hence, Ramagya has introduced a personalized learning programme, Genius Corner which is a teaching model based on that premise. Each student gets a “learning plan” based on how he learns, what he knows, and what his skills and interests are. It’s the opposite of the “one size fits all” approach used in most schools. The mission is to empower educators to know their students better and help them in crafting a unique experience for each student. For this, Genius corner empowers schools with technology providing rich analytics into each child’s performance.

    School Cinema
    Ranked among the top schools in Noida, Ramagya has entered into collaboration with Lxl Ideas Pvt Ltd for School Cinema to teach Lessons of Life to the students from class LKG to Class 10th through Award-winning films and engaging activities. School Cinema is a film-based learning module combined with a fun and exciting film workbook, which uses a language and medium that children are familiar with to subtly and indirectly influence their minds and their actions on varied subjects.

    RESOURCES:

    E-Library
    Technology has become an inseparable part of our lives and thus, the e-library at Ramagya combines technology and information resources to allow access for breaking down the physical barriers between resources. The e-library allows not only teachers and students to take advantage of a wider range of materials but also to communicate with people outside the formal learning environment.

    Raz-Plus
    Students develop reading skills most efficiently as the instructions, practices, and assessments are blended and informed by data. And for that, Ramagya School has collaborated with Raz-Plus – a comprehensive blended learning platform that includes the leveled resources, teaching materials, and student portal to address all your instructional needs. It combines teacher-led whole-class and small-group instruction with technology-enabled resources for personalized reading practice. All resources are accessible online and available in printable, projectable, and digital formats to strengthen the connection between what is being taught and what students independently practice.

    The initiative is aimed at equipping children with the ability and skills to cope with today’s tech-savvy but rapidly-evolving world.

    Varanasi (India), April 16: In sync with time and in an effort to build a new generation of learners, the Varanasi-based Dalimss Sunbeam Group of Schools has become the first school in the country to include E-sports in its extracurricular activities.

    Technology has not only revolutionised the way we talk, shop, or eat out, but also ushered in a dramatic transformation in the way educational institutions are adopting new learning methods for the learners, especially in post-Covid times. E-sports are known to lead to improved self-esteem, enhanced visual-spatial reasoning, development of motor skills, greater technological proficiency, and much more.

    While e-sports are quite popular in the west, India has also emerged as a gaming capital given its rise in digital and IT skillset as well as greater accessibility to internet connectivity in recent years. One of the most significant and recent developments is the rise of the gaming generation or the Gen-Z, of which an overwhelming majority are children in the age group of 2 to 17 years.

    “For nearly 50 years, Dalimss Sunbeam Group of Schools has strived to harness the limitless energy and creativity of children through a holistic education that encompasses academics, co-curricular activities, sports, and life skills. In today’s tech-savvy world, it is critical to equip children with the ability and skills to cope with a rapidly changing world. The objective behind including E-sports in our extracurricular activities is to introduce healthy competition among students and help improve their overall performance and well-being,” says Pooja Madhok, Director, Dalimss Sunbeam Group of Schools.

    Incidentally, Dalimss Sunbeam Group of Schools was also one of the first in the country to host a Minecraft Championship earlier this year with an aim to promote creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in an immersive digital environment that helps students engage across subjects and bring abstract concepts to life.

    Dalimss Sunbeam Group of Schools, which has five campuses in and around Varanasi and a distinguished track record of 49 years, is focused on creating benchmarks in knowledge and learning pedagogy. In addition to its state-of-the-art facilities, experienced faculty, world-class laboratories, and much more, the school has established itself as a leader that focuses on learning using advanced digital technology.

    As a part of its efforts to create an academic environment that encourages, stimulates and supports balanced growth and advancement of children, the school has also introduced the concept of ‘online homework’ for the convenience of parents and to provide exposure to more audio-visual and digital classes.

    Dalimss Sunbeam School (Dr. AmritLal Ishrat Memorial Sunbeam School) was founded by visionary educationist Late Mrs. Deesh Ishrat in the memory of distinguished scholar Late Dr. AmritLal Ishrat. It has been ranked as one of the best schools in India and has also been recognised on various national and international platforms for innovative teaching methods and development.
