Q

Understanding the Current Scenario (3/3)

‣Somebody who knows how to compose a letter well can also write a good email. But can somebody who ‘only’ knows how to operate an email service write good emails?

‣ Is just the ability to type email sufficient? Somebody who can present a thought well, is more likely to create awesome presentation decks. But can somebody who ‘only’ knows the skill of MS-PPT create effective presentations?

‣Somebody who knows how to think logically, can also write programs. But can somebody who ‘only’ knows how to use the syntax of a programming language write efficient programs?

Q

Computers with blend of 21st Century Skills

‣Thinking Process skills such as Stepwise thinking, Gathering information systematically, Brain storming & Mind maps.

‣Group activities & Project Based Learning.

‣Modern communication tools & Cloud computing.

‣Multi-media programing & Digital story telling.

Q

Computers with blend of Multiple Intelligence

Computer blended with healthy habits for next generation of technology users – dynamics o f technology and less of physical activity.

Q

Computers with HOTS

HIGHER ORDER THINKING SKILLS (HOTS). Learning outcomes of every topic stated clearly. Lab activities should push higher order thinking skills.

•Multiple choice questions, Scenario based questions.

•Activities such as multi-media scrap book, sampler.

‣ The inception of Computer Masti (CM) has come about at a critical juncture when there was a visible need for a standard Computer curriculum, trained teachers and quality instructional material.

‣ It is a collaborative product of IIT Bombay and InOpen Technologies. The content is presented in a story format.

‣ CM adopts a constructivist pedagogical approach, which encourages the characters to keep asking questions, and to explore on their own.

‣ The content apart from teaching the computer literacy skills, also teaches others concepts like stepwise thinking and logical reasoning.

Q

Computer Masti

‣ Develop clarity in step-wise execution of any task, right from planning to evaluation.

‣ Develop clarity in communication, right from critical thinking to creative presentations.

‣ Develop confidence in solving complex problems using simple thinking.

In Other words, we choose Computer Science as a vehicle to mold next generation technology users.
