This projects aims to bring Digital Learning to underprivileged schools. Its goals are:
• Teachers + Technology = >Impact!
• Equalize the playing field for students through effective use of technology.
• Create “love of learning” and transform learning by implementing Technology
Teach for India is a leading educational NGO in India. While the TFI’s sponsorship of schools has been commendable, we believe that bringing technology and online self-paced learning will significantly enhance the student learning.
Introducing Technology and online tools like Khan Academy as a teacher aide to supplement the Teachers could be an effective way to accelerate student learning. The important premise is to ensure that this implementation helps advance the course goals set by the Teacher.

Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts serve 62,000 students in 312 Government schools. In India, the most underprivileged students attend Government schools. The family and demographics of the students results in poor access to quality education. These schools often do not have basic amenities such as desks and in many cases lack access to qualified teachers. Over the summer, we have worked with Teach for India at the Government Public School in NBT Nagar, Hyderabad, in India - a school adopted by Teach for India. Teach for India have adopted 35 schools in Hyderabad to provide qualified and energetic Teachers (“Fellows”) who fill the void in these schools, focusing on third and fourth grade students. I have noticed that the students in classes taught by the TFI Fellows are more active, participatory, and engaged in learning. TFI has a systematic method of measuring progress and impact in these classes.
