As soon as I read the C.B.S.E. notification http://www.cbseacademic.nic.in/web_material/Notifications/2021/26_Notification_2021.pdf I got registered for the above mentioned Course on Blended Learning.
After attending the five webinars regarding Technology Integration in Education and completing the course in Blended Learning, I came to know about various Tools of Technology to be used in Education. I also got the opportunity to involve my students in the Teaching - Learning process more actively.
As I was of the view that we should move from 'easy to difficult' and from 'simple to complex', I started the new session teaching the last two chapters of class 12 Business Studies, first. I planned to start Accountancy with Partnership Accounting only after finishing these two chapters of Business Studies.
Consumer Protection chapter was covered first. As it is very much close to the real life of every one of us, the students were given the activity of filling up a Google Form with mainly the latest consumer court cases settled in consumer courts, as published in newspapers or on internet and to write the summary of that particular case. The whole chapter was discussed in an informal way discussing real life examples.
For starting Marketing chapter, I asked them to keep a packet of biscuits, chocolate, medicines, cough syrup or anything like this with them, while attending that particular class. They were asked to fill the Google Form with all the main points of information printed on the package in their hand. This way the Marketing unit was introduced in brief and related to Consumer Protection.
While starting Accountancy, I thought of giving the script ' Basics of Partnership Accounting ' for introduction of Partnership Accounting, I had written last year, to be used for making some story or comic. The activity was given on Saturday without discussing anything but with the instruction, " You have to make any comic story on the basis of this article, handmade or using any mobile app, to be submitted by Sunday evening ".
Sunday afternoon only, the activity work started pouring in my Telegram and WhatsApp inbox.
I would gladly share the experiences of my lovely students also, who worked like this, submitting it handmade or completed it using any mobile app. (Sharing in alphabetic order without editing their experience).
The result is before every one now.
I have observed that students have not only gained interest and better understanding of the topics under consideration they but their technical skills have also been sharpened unknowingly. Some students had never used the mobile apps before these activities. While using music from open sources, they also came to know about the copyrights issues.
