6. Design and implementation of innovation ICT enabled teaching – learning – assessment
methods, strategies.

Ans:

6 (i) How the teacher/educator has helped students in use of ICT for self-learning,
investigation, experimentation?

Ans- The students have used simulations for Physics which has encouraged them in self-learning,
investigation, and experimentation. I co-authored a paper in NCETPPE-2022 on the topic- of ICT in
teaching of Physics-Needs, Possibilities and Limitations. I have initiated a project to create open
learning sources on various topics. Under my guidance for 2 consecutive years, the students have
created 20-minute documentaries on the topics like states of India, leaders of India and Bhasha
Sangam (languages of India)

situations and are guided accordingly. I have designed projects for students which nurture higher-
order thinking skills. A sample of the project work is also contributed to Hindustan Times
Curriculum Support Material. Simulations for various topics of Physics have been used to grasp
Higher Order Thinking concepts.

6(iv) How the teacher/educator has helped enhancing learning outcomes among students through
integration of content, pedagogy, and technology?
Ans 6(iv): As a Physics teacher, I have used simulations, lab work, and Mind maps which have been
helpful to the students. I have scripted and presented Byte-sized videos with CIET, and NCERT for
educators across the country on how to teach various topics of Physics at the upper primary and
secondary stages. (These videos are in the production stage). As a holistic educator my project on
creating documentaries on various states, leaders, and languages of India, has been an amalgamation
of content, pedagogy, and technology. The use of simulations, mind maps and various mobile
applications have shown a blend of content, pedagogy, and technology. I have gone beyond the
textbook and have popularised the idea of biomimicry.

10 Annual Performance Appraisal Reports or other performance appraisal tools of last 2
years.

Ans: The last two years have been extremely significant in my life and career as I have explored a
parallel universe for academicians by getting an opportunity to work as a resource person with NCERT
and CBSE. The opportunities created by these organisations are fuelled by ICT, but they have helped
shape me as a holistic educator who is not only a facilitator for students but stakeholders and other
members of the society alike. As a teacher I have started using Simulations and Digital Mind maps.
