InTeacher Education
A Teacher Training Institute can create its own Website or Students & Teachers can create their own Blog
Writing of Lesson Plans & its Approval by Teachers Online
While trainees are away from the institute for teaching practice, teachers can keep them up-to-date through SMS or E-Mails
Students can also share information regarding their progress in schools with teachers through E-Mails
Assignments can be submitted Online and Feedback can be provided by teachers Online
The Class Presentations & Notes can be made available Online for students who couldn’t make it for the day
In Simulated Teaching, the lessons of the students can be recorded through Digital Camera
Micro Teaching skills like Questioning, Blackboard Writing, Stimulus Variation etc can be explained through case study videos
The Experiments on which Learning Theories are based can be shown through Videos
Using ‘Hot Potatoes’ software, an interactive web based teaching exercise, teachers can bring novelty in Formative Evaluation
Conclusion:Technology is being used in every sphere of education-be it Medical, Engineering or Management. So why not in Teacher Education. It is high time & we cannot afford to be left behind. It is, therefore, strongly recommended that E-Learning should be incorporated in Teacher Education in the form of Blended Learning i.e. for Better Learning & Teaching.
