Independent Thought
It may sound like bad idea for some but the bond of dreamer couple may make them wonderful business partner. The only challenge working with your partner is distraction and may strain the relationship. But since as couple you have handled bigger challenges of life, business issues and not going to be real challenge for a sensible and compatible couple.
Technology is the branch of knowledge that deals with the summation of techniques, skills, methods, and processes. It helps in investigating the scientific knowledge or in the accomplishment of objectives. The purpose of Technology is to solve human problems regarding brain and communication. Now a day’s communication with technology is supporting the development in the system and providing source full services to society.
Computer-based communication focuses significantly on global connectivity in the history of long-distance communication. The technology has advanced rapidly and is linking the different thoughts from different geographical locations, simultaneously increasing the bandwidth.
Today there are several and various means of systematic communication tools. The establishment and proliferation of these technologies are vanishing the distinction from computer to one-to-one communication to mass communication. The best-adopted method for mass communication is a webinar.
Now let’s understand the mix of the webinar.
The webinar is the online service under the umbrella of web conferencing. The blend of web and seminar is called a webinar. Also called a web-based seminar. It can be a presentation, lecture, workshop, or seminar. It is transmitted over the web using video conferencing software. A webinar is an online event where a speaker or a small group of speakers deliver the lecture or presentation to a large audience. These audiences participate by responding to polls. Even they can submit the questions and can use many other available interactive tools. The webinar is different from traditional streaming media like videos. Webinar treats always live audiences. A webinar is successful due to its salient features.
As you all know the words like “Digital”, “technical” and “automation” are going to be a part of our life post covid-19 very often. Researchers are emphasising the importance of integrating technology into the education system very strongly. But this integration will only be successful and effective when the linkage between the two i.e. teachers themselves poses the expertise to use technology in a meaningful way in the era of virtual classroom. Hence, the aim of this study is the assistance for teachers in the development of teaching and learning through the application of a particular digital technology. Post covid-19 India will be a digital India in more effective manner. In the era of digitalization, in the education sector “online teaching” will pave its own way and shines in the sky like a golden star. It is very obvious to raise the question that how the people like you and me from a non technical background can become an expert in online and digital teaching. And The answer is YES we can. Nothing is impossible. To every question there is an answer and solution. It's just you need to identify it and to grab the opportunity at right time in a cognitive way. So I am providing you with some of the simple, systematic and discovered world’s scientific knowledge in the field of online teaching for future and beyond. 1. Bridging the gap between teachers’ views and technology. First of all identification and bridging the gap between teachers’ views about technology and the use of technology is important. This platform of digital teaching and coaching automation system will provide a different and unique approach to the teaching from home. It is not mandatory to be present physically all the time to conduct the lectures like conventional classroom teaching rather these methods effectively converts a home into a smart classroom which can run automatically round the clock. 2. Digital Resources As the study is going towards digital automation system, it becomes essential to know about digital resources. These digital resources will help in breaking the walls of schools and learning places. Learners can learn anytime and anywhere making their own pace. They will also have the ability to extend their communication limitations beyond face to face interactions. If I talk about digital resources it simply means use of user friendly devices like: • A fast and reliable computer: This can be a desktop, laptop or tablet. At least a 1Ghz processor and a minimum of 256 MB of Ram for Windows machines and for Mac, at least a 1 Ghz Intel processor (Core 2 duo) and a minimum of 1 GB of Ram. But remember, these are minimums. The faster your system is, the more reliable your connection will be. • Broadband/high-speed internet: At least 400 kbps (standard Cable or DSL connection should work just fine - no dial up). If you want the best video chat experience, plug your computer directly into the wall • Video Chat Software: Many free, easy to use software are available on internet. • Webcam: Preferably HD- your students will notice a big difference. If your computer or tablet was purchased within the last 5 years, your camera is more than good enough. • Microphone: Most laptops or tablets have great mics built in, but if you are teaching something like singing you may want to invest in a USB external microphone. The above mentioned points will satisfy the technical requirements efficiently to cater the platform of online and digital teaching. 3. Change and Adaptability Now the important point to be considered is change and adaptability. As I said earlier, there should be bridging of gaps between teacher’s views about technology and the use of technology, so change and adaptability is going to be a game changer. Teachers have to merge their skills with technology. Acquaintance is the need of hour. They have to adopt the new concepts of technology with empty and open minds. Cup full mind will never accept any changes.
It may sound like bad idea for some but the bond of dreamer couple may make them wonderful business partner. The only challenge working with your partner is distraction and may strain the relationship. But since as couple you have handled bigger challenges of life, business issues are not going to be real challenge for a sensible and compatible couple rather it could bring the couple closer together quite easily while doubling the passion to make the venture succeed. Conflicts are going to be there in any partnership business, the best part in this case is couple can resolve their conflicts anywhere by motivating each other and by sharing the common dreams commitment.
