Remember the times when our grandparents told us the story of Pandavas, Kauravas, and Arjuna and the arduous tasks they were given in Gurukul? What if we try to draw analogies with today’s world of learning? We need to be as focused as Arjuna. We need to practice incessantly to achieve our goals. And yes, we need a guru, a mentor like Dronacharya. But the only difference is that today we don’t necessarily have to be in Gurukul to achieve our goals. Thanks to online platforms that strive to educate even all the Eklavyas who should not be left, online learning aims for knowledge dissemination until the last mile. EdTech is a revolution in this field. It is a tool that we must leverage to achieve our dreams. What Dreams? The dream was that we told our teachers and parents. When we grow up, we will want to be doctors. We want to be engineers. These dreams that children watch with their eyes open are being fulfilled by e-learning platforms. They embrace the dreams, aspirations, and needs of each and every learner who comes to them. They give us space to learn from peers, compete, and improve with real-time assessments. They don’t want us to be glued to a single bench within brick-and-mortar classes only. They expand our learning opportunities and capacities. There are unique designs for each aspirant, since we are all different. How can our needs be the same? Ed Tech indeed made our lives very easy, as today we see even a student from afar village learning quality content through the internet. But what makes these ed-tech platforms attractive? Their unique ability to cater to the needs of each child differently, the well-organized and quick response, gamified versions of learning, and all-India competition These make learning fun, easy, and innovative, yet retain the character of knowledge delivery, fact correction, and improvement. The best of the teachers and faculty ensure maximum help for their students. They act as Dronacharyas behind the screen, yet they produce rankers, toppers, and successful candidates across India. Does ed tech undermine the physical mode of learning? Prima facie, It may seem so. But EdTech acts as a helping hand not just to students but also to physical educational institutions. They make learning easy for their students, and content delivery becomes extensive and comprehensive. The connection between students and teachers enhances, which leads to the improvement of the entire learning ecosystem. In this attempt, EDUCARE joint hand with EXAMPIL which has started to bring about a revolution in this field. The most helpful feature that every aspirant in NEET and JEE would love is peer-to-peer learning, among other appreciable features. Don’t we tend to trust the people who cleared some of the most difficult exams in the country? It’s crucial that we get the best advice and mentorship because, “If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction,” said Dietrich Bonhoeffer. EdTechs like EDUCARE are to ensure the growth of each and every child who dreams and aspires. A world embedded with technology is ready to have more Arjunas who are focused and determined to achieve their goals. We only need to reach out to our Dronacharya and Virtual Gurukuls, i.e., Ed Tech platforms. So, let’s harness the boon of EDUCARE for achieving our dreams and give ourselves a better future and the satisfaction of hitting the bird’s eye as Arjuna did. All the best!
