Workshop to introduce education apps to pupils, teachers

MUMBAI: Use of technology in classrooms has widely been discussed in the state and slowly but steadily, schools have been implementing new forms of teaching in classrooms. To give a boost to this trend, for the first time in India, a workshop for educators and students will be conducted to introduce various education apps.

Events at the two-day Google Education India Summit will focus on deploying, integrating and using apps for education to promote student learning and achievement in higher education. The summit includes two keynote presentations from respected Googlers and other noted educators.

The summit will be full of informative breakouts, cutting-edge demonstrations, and hands-on workshops. The presenters will also be conducting sessions on deployment and management of a full range of apps for education.

Mark Wagner, CEO of Edtech team, has been conducting the Google Apps summit across the globe and describes it as an enriching experience for the participants. "There is plenty of networking time throughout the two days, and it's always nice to walk around and hear conversations about the issues, initiatives, ideas and passions among educators from around the region and beyond. Educators get a chance to work on tablets and apps firsthand and all their queries are solved as they get to interact with professionals," said Wagner.

Being organized in collaboration with InOpen Technologies at the American School of Bombay in Bandra (E), the summit will be held on December 1 and 2. "The conference is open to attendees from around the globe. It offers unique and cost-effective advantages for all participants. They will get an opportunity to network with the most influential and renowned educationalist from around the world," said an official from InOpen.
