Technology with Thought: Mr. Anil Kathuria on Blending Digital Tools with Real-World Learning

In today’s digital era, where AI, virtual reality, and smart devices are reshaping industries, how is our school integrating emerging technologies into education while ensuring students remain grounded in real-world learning?

While technology is evolving rapidly, our school’s approach has been steady and thoughtful. We focus on integrating digital tools in ways that genuinely enhance teaching and learning, rather than using them for the sake of novelty. For example, our teachers use interactive platforms, smart boards, and online resources to make lessons more engaging and accessible. Students learn to research responsibly, collaborate on shared documents, and present their ideas using digital media – skills that are essential in today’s world. At the same time, we place great importance on maintaining balance. Face-to-face discussions, hands-on activities, and classroom interaction remain at the heart of our practice. We want students to think critically, communicate clearly, and develop interpersonal skills that no device can replace. We also make it a point to guide students in using technology safely and ethically, helping them understand both its benefits and its limits. Our aim is not to chase every new trend, but to prepare students to use emerging tools wisely – grounded in values, judgment, and real-world understanding.
