It is not just the teaching and learning methods that have undergone a fundamental change over time, the way a school functions and presents itself has also changed significantly. Just like in all other sectors of life, personal computers, e-mail and Internet have become an integral part of our school culture.

Our students today are all digital natives. Surely more than half your class are active users of social networking sites. But does that mean that they know how to use these sites responsibly? Do they know of the advantages these sites can give them? And also of the dangers they could pose? As schools and teachers it certainly is our responsibility to teach our students safe browsing habits, so that they can obtain the maximum benefit from the Internet without being harmed.

It is no longer possible for us to keep the Internet out of school. Children born into this digital age are already familiar users of the Internet and social networking sites. So why not use these effectively to impart learning? See how the Internet, social media and other online tools can actually aid you in your journey as a teacher. It is time that we broke free of our long held prejudices against technology.

It has been some time now since the introduction of ICT in education. But with the rapid progress that technology is making, have our schools and teachers adapted? How effectively do schools use the Internet in the classroom, for the teachers, and with the parents? With increasing online crimes do schools make it their responsibility to teach their students cyber safety?
Teaching and Learning Moments with Teacher Plus is a programme on education and various aspects of teaching and learning in and outside the classroom. With new episodes every week and different guest speakers coming in and sharing their experiences and points of view, we plan to bring you discussions and answer your questions on practices in education. Write in to editorial@gamart.in with your questions. Season 2: Episode 11: Bringing out the best in one’s students As we continue our talk with award winning film maker and theatre director K.M. Chaitanya, we learn how active and enthusiastic teachers manage to bring out the best in their students. Chaitanya talks about how his teachers in college and university and later the directors he worked with pushed him to achieve things he never thought he could. Like his teachers, Chaitanya says with his students (assistant directors) he engages in such a way that they learn to become independent and come to believe in themselves and their work. Episode 10: The story of my life K.M. Chaitanya, film maker and theatre director is the artist for this week on Teaching and Learning Moments. Through this interview Chaitanya takes us on this fascinating ride of his life of growing up among academicians and theatre experts to changing course to learn math and science and then coming back and finding himself in theatre. Episode 9: How would you like to learn art? This week we feature Polish visual artist Anna Okrasko. In this interview Anna describes her journey as a student of art, an artist, and a ‘non regular’ teacher of art. Having been a student in a very traditional and in many ways restrictive school of art in native Warsaw and then moving on to a more liberal and open-minded school in the Netherlands, Anna believes that art is an expression of the individual self and it is up to the individual to find his/her path to learn art. No teacher can teach art, a teacher can only guide. Episode 8: Being free of identities Have you discovered your passion yet? Do passions remain with you? Does your identity spring from your passion? Can you ever be free of the expectations and restrictions that an identity forces on you? Find answers to these questions as you listen to our final episode with documentary filmmaker and singer, Shabnam Virmani. Shabnam shares with listeners how she began singing and what impact that has had on her as a person, how it has

The recent Peshawar tragedy has forced us to ask some questions. Have places of education become unsafe? Are children living in violent times? How can children trust their teachers? While the Peshawar massacre is an outcome of politics between nation states, the violence that happens within school spaces needs to be tackled. For this, children need to be educated about their own safety and given physical and intellectual tools to protect themselves.

Rules in math learned without understanding are the root cause of many misconceptions that children have. For instance, when teaching negative numbers, teachers must ensure that children master the concepts and for this a familiarity with vocabulary is essential. Numbers are abstract for some children but when the numbers have meaning or relevance to their own lives, it becomes easy to understand. Here are some activities that simplify the concept of negative numbers.
