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.
