Smart Class program seeks to empower teachers with technology right inside their classrooms. The program enables teachers to use digital resources such as graphics, animations, 3-D Images and Video clips in addition to the chalk and talk methods of teaching in their day to day teaching life. This results in a completely new multi sensory learning experience for students and helps them to improve their academic performance. In a Smart Class, technology is used to make classroom experience a totally different one. A knowledge centre set up at the school acts as the nerve centre of the network. It is connected through campus-wide network to the existing class rooms that simply turn into Smart classes in the form of more interactive and brain compatible resources for smart turtles of century with a motto "slow & steady wins the race".
Technology has the potential to mould our lives for the better. The use of modern educational technology makes learning more interactive and accessible to young minds. Technology cannot replace the educator human touch, but it can aid the educator to become a facilitator. Young kids from grade I unleash their minds in form of vibrant colours on the screen with interesting exercises and games. A computer lab with 24X7 internet access facilities for school with about 15 educational rooms and several applications from the internet are accessed by students in the computer lab as integral part of the curriculum.
The ultra modern science laboratory provides a platform for students to nurture the budding scientists. To enhance its utility labs are provided with the State of devices such as Emergency shower/ eye wash unit, reghting equipments, First Aid Kit etc. The students are encouraged to develop their skills in practical science and to learn scientificc theories through their own experimentation. Our aim is to ensure students see Science not just as a medium of applying theory but as a subject where they can derive theories themselves by doing experiments on their own.
Social science is, in its broadest sense, the study of society and the manner in which people behave and influence the world around us. In SVIES learning social science is made memorable with the help of charts, maps, globes, ppts, working models and many non-working models and films in the lab that actually enable the students to walk back in time and relive landmark events in history or explore the unresolved mysteries of the universe. The social science lab of SVIES enables the young learners to work on the interfaces of the various landforms and ocean currents as well as the different ages and their landmarks that this world has gone through. Laboratory sessions are taken continuously to upgrade their knowledge regarding weather, climate, maps, vegetation, soils, landforms, solar system, eclipse, volcanoes, and ocean currents etc. For junior standards conservation of natural resources including soil, water, wildlife and forests as interrelated components are taken.
The Language Lab is well equipped to impart the knowledge of basic skills in English, Hindi as well as Marathi with the help of Hi-Tech AudioVisual equipment for pronunciation, listening and interactive Language learning activities. Tiny tots are taught by the help of Genki software which is a hub of Fun filled activities and is a tool to facilitate interactive learning..
The Lab offers opportunities for the children to count, make patterns, shapes, measure where it reinforces the right ambience for learning the subject. The arena makes them important as "Budding Mathematicians". They experience hands on practical knowledge under the guidance of subject expertise to learn concepts, verify facts and prove theorems through activities and experimentation. A high degree of efforts are "INPUT" by giving them a chance to perform activities, projects and brain storming sessions to get the same level of "OUTPUT".
