We all want to contribute to our society and help our people in little ways that we can. But working in cities and isolated air-conditioned offices, cut off from much of the underprivileged world, doesn't make it easy. Research shows that millions of children around the world are deprived of good education every year. Educated people, although willing to help, are unable to, as traveling to far away villages to teach or to facilitate education is an impractical and also an unattractive option.
Our service gives you the opportunity to help those in need, get credit for your social contribution, and not even leave your home or office for it. We give you the opportunity to teach children; interact with a large section of the educated community, and participate in deciding, fine-tuning the curriculum and the teaching methods for everyone.
This is how it works:
- You create a profile (with availability, time zone, and other details) and specify specialization (grade, subject, medium, etc.)
- You can offer to teach an available school & class. A school in need of a teacher might just select you, and request your assistance
- Classes are scheduled based on the exchange between you and the school
- You can browse through our digital content library to select material to use for the classes.
- We provide you training for the teaching program.
- With the help of our virtual classroom service, classes take place on schedule, and allow extensive real-time interaction between you and the students.
- You become a part of the teacher network and are be able to participate in the discussions regarding teaching strategies and materials, etc.
We also have a teachers forum which brings together the entire educated community in discussing, fine-tuning, and improving the project of teaching children. Use this platform to discuss various pedagogical resources and the efficacy of a variety of teaching methods and materials.
This service is essentially about mobilizing resources. We have people from diverse backgrounds and expertise teaching students from a wide range of locations. The discussions generated by the experiences of all the teachers will begin to give us a better understanding of what works and what does not, what materials and methods are more effective, how to teach the various subjects to students of certain age groups or of specific backgrounds, and so on.
So join us in this new education movement and teach children anywhere in the world from the comfort of your home, and also get to interact with thousands of educators around the world. |
