Abstract

The paper describes a pilot project in rural East India: Integrated approach to Technology in Education. This pilot is different from other software based interventions in schools of poor children as it assumes: students will use technology for creating learning artefacts/projects, teachers' will design lesson plans integrating student use of technology, and the lesson plans and student projects will be based on topics within the school textbooks. The paper discusses some of the preliminary outcomes of the project like deeper engagement of students with the curriculum, positive change in the teaching pedagogy, and increased interest of students in schooling. The future plan of this project is discussed in terms of developing a resource of master trainers at eight new projects and consolidating systematic data through standard assessment tool.
