Bangalore:  XSEED Blue, a new mobile app for personalized professional development of schoolteachers, was launched to packed audience of a school owners and principals at the XSEED School of Tomorrow conference. ‘XSEED Blue’, is a path-breaking solution to improving teaching quality in the classroom, by equipping every teacher with a mobile application that provides real-time analytics and feedback on teaching quality in the classroom. XSEED blue is based on a research-based model of teaching effectiveness, developed by the XSEED R&D team and tested in schools across the country.

XSEED School of Tomorrow, India’s largest school conference, kicked off in Bangalore today with the theme ‘Education Technology to Deliver Results in your School’. The focus of the conference was to establish the critical missing link between the learning process and technology in the classroom.

Speaking at the session, Shri T V Mohandas Pai, Chairperson Manipal Global Education Services & FICCI Higher Education Committee said, “Most societies which are successful are created by entrepreneurs who take risks, create wealth and employment. Entrepreneurship is not necessarily an inborn trait but one which can be acquired through training, encouragement and a set of right policies. School education can foster these skills early on.” Mohandas Pai has been a key player in the development of IT services and higher education in India.

Delivering the annual XSEED address, Ashish Rajpal, founder of XSEED, said, ”Our goal is to educate unafraid children with skills and confidence to face life. For that, they need to solve real-world problems at their own pace; and not just memorize content. Technology can be real enabler. However we need to first fix the learning process and then choose the right technology to amplify its impact.”

Delivering the international keynote, Dr Wesley Fryer, a U.S based education technology specialist and Author of Mapping Media to Curriculum noted, “Children need to play with digital media on their own to become effective communicators and to make sense of a progressively complex world in which they live and work.”

Attended by over 400 school leaders from across the country, the half-day session saw some provocative points of views and pragmatic solutions to make sure that technology can actually work in improving education in India. The Bangalore edition will be followed by the Pune Edition next week, and then in Hyderabad, Madurai, Cochin, Mumbai, Vijaywada, and Chennai.
