Hi,
Imagine your child comes to you and asks for a Harry Potter book to read. But, you cannot give. First because you do not have money to buy and secondly because the school your child goes to does not have a library at all. You will feel helpless while your child will be devoid of skills that can be built by reading books.
Nidhi had been feeling the same for several years. Until one day, this changed. Nidhi is a class 7 student from a Government school in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. You can watch her story here:
Offline tablets with preloaded digital content can prove to be a game changer in giving government school students access to resources vital for their learning and growth. The best part is how these tablets empower teachers in the classrooms to supplement their classroom teaching with interactive digital learning. With availability of student wise data, teachers and stakeholder organisations like ours can provide much better guidance to students and bring them to grade level outcomes much faster and easier.
Plus academics is not everything. Tablets can also be used to provide content to students which can build self confidence and knowledge beyond the textbooks.
As was the case with Nidhi. While her main content consumption on the tablet was story and other fiction books, her academic performance also saw a significant improvement.
