New age IT curriculum
School education has become a flourishing business. Schools compete to show value in their curriculum. As a matter of fact, schools look for 'that' differentiator, the edge over their competitors.
Many schools try to gain mileage through introducing new technologies as subjects. IT has been a subject in almost all private schools, so IT is not an USP anymore. Therefore, there has been a drive to introduce new trends in positioning the IT curriculum as an inevitable aspect of life and earn that edge.
IT curriculum should now be woven closer to the lifestyle of the new generation. IT curriculum should stop focussing on teaching children to just program calculators and draw lines. The new age IT curriculum should help children to use gadgetry, innovate applications that can be used in daily life, integrate media and become intelligent users of the technology.
I strongly welcome the change in paradigm from considering IT as a programming subject to looking up for an IT curriculum to make children, intelligent users of technology.
