EZ Vidya Workshop

In our pursuit to excellence and enhance the teaching learning process ‘Chrysalis’, an ICT Curriculum, is being introduced in the Pre Primary Section of Happy Hours School. Chrysalis nurtures 21st Century Skills and focuses on triggering critical, creative, analytical, reflective and societal thinking among students.
A Participatory Action Research done by teachers along with EZ Vidya has proved the effectiveness of Chrysalis in enhancing creative and critical thinking, reflection and developing ICT capabilities amongst all users. It will help the children blossom; provide them an environment where they can be nurtured to become thinkers, problem solvers, constant learners and decision makers.
A workshop was conducted by EZ Vidya on January 20, 2011 in the School for all members of the teaching staff. The objective of the workshop was to familiarize them with Chrysalis and to empower them to use this new tool. The resource persons for the workshop were Mr. Bala Subramanium and Mr. Vishwanath.
It was an interactive workshop which involved a number of activities and power point presentation which focused on the development of physical, cognitive, socio- emotional and language & communication domain.
EZ Vidya will also provide the teachers with learning material to keep them abreast with the changes in the field of education.
