LESSON PLAN OF COLLABORATIVE PROJECT #Help24x7@ INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT The rampant exercise to ace in the examination not only instils unhealthy stress but also makes the student perform much below their potential . Depression, suicides, behavior changes etc are some of the harmful effects. The problem existed in various forms but its intensity remained the same, be it the state of Gujarat, Haryana or even in Andhra Pradesh. As part of the Group 3 Delocalize group, when we got in touch with each other, we found that regimented routine in a structured classroom with a fixed time table did not allow personalized learning to the students. How the students wished that they could get doubt clearing sessions with resource persons having sound knowledge. Irrespective of their origin at hours which were conducive to them. On reaching out to our global friends , we found that similar issues were there in other classrooms too.To bridge this communication gap between students and their educators, we thought of bringing about a real time counselling platform for the students wherein their queries could be resolved without any travelling cost constraints or time being wasted.In such a scenario?Edubuddies- a group of seasoned teachers from five schools namely?Amity, Udgam, Hyderabad Public School, Suncity got together with a? guidance program?to help students come out of stress and find time saving examination related problems to enable concept clarity in a bid to evolve themselves as global citizens in the journey of education.?Project Plan - #Help24x7@Unit Title - Group Counselling Grade level- X & XIISubject- GRADE LEVEL- X AGE- 14-15 YEARS, GRADE LEVEL- XII AGE 16-17 YEARSSUBJECTS- MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE,SOCIAL STUDIES, HINDI, SANSKRIT,ENGLISH( FOR X) PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY,BIOLOGY, ENGLISH( FOR XIIApproximate - Appox 30 daystime neededKeeping in mind the theme DELOCALIZE, to create an impact at global level in the field of education, our MIEE Group under Delocalize Persona has the following educators1.???????Arti Chopra?????????????? -????????????

Udgam School For Children, Ahmedabad.?Project DescriptionWe as educators feel that good teaching coupled with healthy life style is the sure shot way to succeed for a student in school. But on closer examination we felt that certain causes of non performance in the classroom had their source back at home itself .We realized that Parents expect a lot from their children and therefore pressurize them to perform well in exams. Keeping high expectations and pressurizing children during exams can cause exam stress in them though it is a common issue dealt with by students throughout their academic life. The butterflies in the stomach, the sweaty clammy hands, the urge to visit the toilet, the weak knees, the unreasonable panic attacks: these are vital signs of stress. The two types: anticipatory stress experienced while studying and thinking about the ifs, and situational stress experienced during the examination itself, can cause loss in concentration, physical discomfort etc . Even after providing general exam stress-busting tips, students were not able to perform unless given additional academic support. After discussions we decided our goal to create cost efficient, secure solution not only to facilitate the staff (educators) but also parents & students.?Cloud as a cost reduction platform is compelling because cloud storage is inexpensive, expandable and requires less of your time & attention. We were?also looking for a solution that could boost student performance and spark a measurable state wide educational turn around for everything from board toppers to resource access. We realized that data & analytics could assist students to achieve their greatest potentials. To this we gave a thought and started working on the Project entitled as #Help24X7@EduBuddies.? It aims to foster a dynamic learning environment that augments the usage of latest technologies and maximum usage of Microsoft tools.??Keeping in mind the theme DELOCALIZE and to create an impact at global level in the field of education, we the group of MIEEs after a few skype collaborations came to an conclusion that Grade X & Grade XII students after getting their preparatory leaves, face difficulties in the absence of proper guidance & counselling. To bridge this communication gap between students their educators, we thought of bringing about a real time counselling platform for the students wherein their queries can be resolved in a mean-time with no travel & time cost.?Keeping in mind the concept of global execution, subject Experts of all the 5 schools along with supportive MIEE’S through MEC(over skype) got involved who to guide the students across the geographical boundaries of state through individual & online Group Counselling.??PROJECT OBJECTIVES TO help out the community through collaboration to look into the causes of fear due to examinationIt aims to reach out to students having issues that are affecting their cognitive, emotional, physical or psychological domain for secondary and senior secondary stages.To provide a instant counselling to? the students appearing for exams USING TOOLS OF TECHNOLOGY LIKE WHAT’SAPP, SKYPE,SOCIAL NETWORKS .?To assist the students to work out a plan to deal with their exam related fears?To provide beneficial tips to them for attempting? all? subjects exam , by the subject experts.?To cope with exam related anxiety through positive guidance and advices.To go beyond the local issue and address the problem at global levelTo strengthen the teacher pupil bonds across the continents and create the adequate resources to students to build their emotional , cognitive and social skillsLEARNING OUTCOMESAll student who complete project guidelines will be able to:Indicate their areas of difficulty on the Microsoft Forms providedA what’s app group to be created for group chat of students.Work on one note with all the educators to share their notes and plans.A YAMMER GROUP CREATED WILL HAVE THE POOL OF ASSIGNMENTS SHARED BETWEEN SCHOOLS, PROBLEMS SHARED BY STUDENTS AND ANSWERS GIVEN BY EXPERTSA face book page will be created for students to feel free to ask their doubtsStudents will be able to log on to website and post their queries at any time of the daya ready accessthe quizzes will be developed in KOHOOT so that their critical thinking could be enhanced.A word press blog will be created to share the learning outcomes in the form of sways.
