It has many interesting articles. Dr Rajaram Sharma, Joint Director NCERT (retd) has written about how ICT can pose a danger of further dumbing down teaching and reducing the role of a teacher to 'show and tell'. He suggests 'professional learning communities' of teachers as a powerful use of ICT to support teachers ..(our STF is an example!). And of using different free applications to create and mix resources to supplement / complement text books. And accessing web for resources for the same as well Dr Kirti Kapur has discussed the challenges of teaching English and what language teachers can/should do. Pooja Keshavan discusses how story telling can be a tool for Maths teachers to help students connect better to the subject and gives useful examples for this which we could use. Dr Disha Nawani's article is about how a text book should be used and not be used... There are a couple of articles in Hindi discussing experiences from Jharkand and Chatisgarh. There is an article on digital storytelling (DST) in some of our high schools, by Ranjani and me and how teachers and students have used DST for making teaching-learning enjoyable and meaningful for themselves, and created digital resources for use elsewhere. These stories are available on KOER <http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/index.php?search=digital+story+telling&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go> . *VTTE has invited contributions from teachers to the next issue - please read the 'call' section in this journal issue.
