There is a lot of discussion around the role of technology in education. While there are those who are proponents of using technology in the classroom, others feel that it should only be used as a supplement to more traditional methods.There is no question that technology has changed the way we learn and there are many excellent tools available to educators. However, there is still work to be done in order to make these tools more accessible to everyone.One way to do this is by making sure that the tools are affordable and easy to use. Technology should not be seen as a luxury for those who can afford it. It should be an essential part of learning for everyone.Another way to make education more democratic is by ensuring that the curriculum meets the needs of all students. Not every student learns in the same way and it's important that teachers have the flexibility to adapt their teaching methods accordinglyIn today's episode, we interact with Mr. Maninder Singh Bajwa, Founder and CEO of iScuela.iScuela is a holistic learning ecosystem that eliminates learning gaps and focuses on positive societal behaviour change.It is an interactive learning platform that enables students to engage with the content and learn.The platform is built to make learners curious ensuring good attention span, which results in improved learning levels.The learners are provided with a self-learning platform via which they can have access to high-end learning experiences. Apart from learners the platform also offers tools for teachers to help them teach better.Check out iScuela - WEBSITE | INSTAGRAMCheck out Socially Desi - WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM
