One of the key focus of EZ Vidya's partnership with client schools

(Organization's Mission : Let the Child Blossom) is to channelize Information

and Communications Technology's (ICT) perspective in schools by addressing the

whole community of students, teachers, school management, parents and community.

And the way to achieve this is by making the students ICT capable making their

exercises enjoyable.

As a result, Chrysalis ICT Curriculum for K-10 students was implemented in

about 200 partner schools. This was based on research since 2002, and by

applying modern pedagogical theory and practices, Chrysalis addresses the

various kinds of talent present in students using word processing, spreadsheets,

media, programming, presentation, data manipulation, etc so that students

'express' their natural abilities effectively. In this way, the student not only

learns the 'how', but more importantly the 'why' and hence becomes an effective,

thinking and responsible user of technology.

Chrysalis lessons follow an 'Anchored instruction' model. This means learning

experiences/activities are designed around an 'anchor' or a 'central theme.'

Every lesson takes an element out of this theme, known as the 'Academic Anchor'.

The learning outcomes are achieved through academic anchor points. This gives

the learner a familiar context to work on and the technology objectives are

achieved with better student involvement. Therefore, learning becomes an

engaging activity for the student resulting in better understanding.
