Excitement was at its pinnacle! The atmosphere was clogged up with an unusual anxiety, the anxiety of the execution of the event ‘ICT Endeavour in Ahlcon: Getting Ready for 2020 Classrooms’ of the ICT leadership program in Ahlcon.
With the technology
sky rocketing day by day with the calendars witnessing ewer and newer days and
with the scientists outsmarting them day by day, we can’t afford to stay behind,
can’t we miss the wave of change. The day started off with the ICT participants
completely engrossed in the preparation of the event of the program, where the
students of the programme would be battling and competing against each other to
clinch the awards title.
The mission was
to develop innovative and skillful learners who can contribute to the
betterment of the society. The clock had struck 1 pm and the competition began
spreading its essence, the students of the senior section hurriedly bustled in
the auditorium and geared up to witness such an intoxicating and provocative
event. The competition was graced with the presence of our honorable Principal
Mr. Ashok K Pandey and Senior Section In-charge Ms. Sangita Maliwal.
In future, by
the year 2020, the classrooms and the teaching systems will be nothing like we
have them now. Instead of having proper classes students will be given a list
of topics which they will have to research and master, and teach it to the
others. To get acquainted with this system, we, group of 30-35 students were
allotted different “Tech Tools” to explore by our mentor Mr. S.C. Joshi. A
total of 7 groups participated in the ICT leadership event. The competition
progressed with the presentation of the participating groups who employed the
new tech tool known as “Prezi” which is presentation software which allows the
user to showcase their ideas on a virtual canvas.
All the students
battled out and presented their tools in front of all 9th and 10th students, where they were judged on their
overall presentation in 5 different categories by esteemed judges Ms. Sunita Rajiv and Ms. Urvashi Agarwal. Event
started off with remarkable compeering of Devpriya Pathak and Atishay Garg. Towards the
end, a two and a half minutes long movie was projected on the large white
screen which depicted the journey of the programme till now. The movie was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience. The program finally came to an end with the Principal’s
opinions and the comments on the whole event.
The participants
backstage had all their fingers crossed and anxiously waited to know who had
grabbed the first position. Seconds ticked by and so did the heartbeats. The
results had arrived. Diksha and Sanya had presented their tool “Popplet” and
won the first prize for the same. Karan and Rachit had presented their tool “Quizlet”
and won second prize. Kirti and Dhruv presented their tool “EDMODO” and got
third prize. Winners were elated and ecstatic about their positions. The Principal
Sir appreciated the hard work of the students a lot and advised to use all
those tools in our daily life. The programme went exactly the way it was
planned and conceptualized. This was not the end but the beginning of a new
journey in Ahlcon.
