Teacher Education In India blog has brought up the poor teaching methodology adopted in schools to the notice of the authorities.
The response of the authorities was very positive and progressive.
IT Director has assured to take steps to improve the curriculum of ICT in schools in unaided schools also.
It was heartening to note that the authorities have accepted that the methodology of teaching IT raised in the previous blog as defective and was not the intended methodology. In this regard the IT secretary replied as follows:
I appreciate the officers concerned for prompt responses to the issues raised and observing the seriousness of the issue and also positively responding to the matter.

SUMMING UP
In response to the blogpost on wrong way of teaching IT at school, the IT Executive Director Sri. Anvar Sadat said that ""What you have shown is the way in which a teacher or student is NOT supposed to go through..".He told that the wrong methodology is followed in unaided schools only and lakhs of school teachers have been trained on ICT already..
"We have started ICT Enabled education in 2009-10 in 8th standard. ( pl see the Text book at Revised ICT textbook for standard 8 - Malayalam - English and a report in The Hindu athttps://www.itschool.gov.in/innewsImages/172_vvqicuc.jpg )
We have given clear instructions and detailed training to teachers on how to teach this text book. As per the circular from DPI, a teacher who hasn't got this training was/is not supposed to teach this text book. i am happy to inform you that we were able to train 25000 + teachers for Class 8 so far.. "

It was heartening to note that the authorities have accepted that the methodology of teaching IT raised in the previous blog as defective and was not the intended methodology. In this regard the IT secretary replied as follows:
"We never envisages / disseminated the sort of 'What is a computer Monitor', 'How to open a document file' etc etc and consider such activities that are happening in all most all other streams as 'cyber crime'. Pl see the report about ICT intervention in Primary levels athttps://www.itschool.gov.in/Besides, the IT Director also assured that " that from the coming year onwards no students in the state stream need have to appear for written examination in ICT"innewsImages/222_ppabtmm.jpg and I am sure that you'll appreciate the text books we have prepared for the same."
I appreciate the officers concerned for prompt responses to the issues raised and observing the seriousness of the issue and also positively responding to the matter.
