The Curriculum Company (TCC), an innovator in the K-12 education space, has launched India’s first end-to-end Tablet-based Classroom Management Platform. The Tablet-based Learning Platform enables a teacher to conduct an engaging class by empowering them with the apt tools and providing a strong locus of control for even classrooms as big as 40+ learners. Through ThinkTab, TCC’s ground breaking Tablet-based learning & teaching device for K12 classrooms, the company provides new interactive content across grades with built in assessment frameworks that conform to global benchmarking standards. The ThinkTab is more than a tablet textbook and students can use this much beyond just a tablet for schoolwork. “The arrival of tablets, for instance, spells lighter backpacks as well as incomparable ease in obtaining digital study material for students. Students will not only benefit from the portability and flexibility this device offers, but also from more rewarding aspects such as real-time and speedy updation of content and assessments. On the other hand, for educators, tablets offer convenience for teaching and assessing their students,” said Mr. Ujjwal Singh, Founder –CEO, TCC. TCC’s groundbreaking platform, allows teachers to interact, share, collaborate, run polls, collect data and perform assessment of several kinds, all within the reach of a simple touch/click. The state of the art teacher dash board, allows teachers to share knowledge with students in several formats even outside the purview of the prescribed books and digital content available inside classrooms. The platform also allows for one-on-one teacher-learner interactions by allowing a teacher to send messages to individual students during the course of a session/class. ThinkTab gives teachers the flexibility to use content in any format, be it video, PPT, word doc or audio file, practically anything from their machine to a student’s tablet. In fact, even the reverse dynamics is also possible. If a child has done something interesting, then a teacher can also pull out the same thing from that student’s tablet and show it to everyone present inside the classroom. For keeping the recurring cost for the schools low, TCC’s Tablet-based Classroom Management Platform does not require internet. Local Wifi Router is used to connect the teacher’s laptop to student’s tablets. “As our initiative to stay abreast with the new and innovative teaching methodologies, we ran a pilot of Tablet based learning in our school at Chandigarh. I feel that it empowers the teachers and saves time that can be used for more constructive activities. From the students’ perspective, it aids in improving concentration and arousing interest in the concepts being taught. It fosters creativity and inculcates 21st century Thinking Skills in the child. Looking at the integrated benefits, I feel that T-learning is the future of education in India and here to stay,” said Ms.Taruna Vashisht, Principal, Bhavan Vidyalaya Junior. “ThinkTab is a preferred device for teaching and learning with limitless potential. We foresee serving more than 20,000 students in 100+ schools in the next 18 months,” Mr. Singh said.
