The Limits of Incorporating Technology in Education

Education without a doubt holds a very important place in our lives. It is no longer just a medium to earn a qualification. It is a tool of survival in a world faster and more competitive than ever. So in this fast paced world, we should be capable of learning a lot in very less time. At SMES School, Mahim we accomplish this need with the help of technology which makes us the best CBSE school with modern education. But, is technology the ultimate tool to educate our children? Can we completely rely on technology for their all round development? “Stick to the basics” might be a very clichéd line, but has an undeniable importance.  At SMES School Mahim, we strike a perfect balance between technology and traditional methods of education to make us one of the top CBSE schools in Mumbai . A balance is rather necessary. Like fire and water, technology is a good servant, but a bad master. Let’s try to understand the reason why we don’t want to forsake the orthodox methods of educat...

Learn. Grow and Enjoy

Much has been changed from the date when the first school came into existence. How good were those days when students were taught seating under the shed of the tree. Nothing would disturb their minds but the beauty of the nature, that would make them more concentrated and path oriented. The sound of the birds chirping and the noise of the wind playing with the trees, all meant everything was there. Slowly and gradually time changed and so changed the structure of the school. It became an institution. Moreover it evolved from junior school to senior and higher grade schools. Beauty of the nature slowly and slowly became invisible and so became numb inside the four walls. Students inside these four walls were taught to learn discipline, principles and morals but all of which became the artificial teachings and hence resulted into forced teaching. For years now, schools have been practicing the same old style of teaching wherein the lessons are only meant to pass examinations. But i...

Preach Well, Teach Well

Parents nowadays compare the grades of their kids with other students which seems very wrong. Though knowing the fact that all kids are special and different, it should be brought into consideration that no kid will be same as the other and that no kid will fail or either succeed like the other. But parents fail to think this way and pressurize their kids to outperform, knowing that they can fairly perform, which is not bad. Being an ordinary is far more better than being extraordinary. This is in sense of all fields and sectors. Being extraordinary looks classic and elegant, but being ordinary is moral, ethical, unbiased and being matured. Let us look at this example- The flower Rose. Beautiful and mesmerizing. Everyone knows this flower. But when you say Rose, which colour first comes to your mind? The ordinary red or the extraordinary black or green? In most of the cases it is Red! Why? Because that is connected to all. Because it is ordinary. Being ordinary is a symbol of You ...
