4. Present Environment
The tremendous growth of Information Technology during the past two decades
has indeed set the educational planners thinking. The thoughts have mainly
concentrated in the following areas:
• Using technology in planning of lessons.
• Nature of class rooms tomorrow.
• Integrating technology with school education.
• Use of Multimedia and Internet to benefit learning.
• Teachers becoming facilitators for learning.
• Interactive learning where the teachers also learn from children in
addition to children learning from their peers.
• Sharing of lessons, assignments and evaluation of performance through
the Internet.
• Coping up with curriculum while learning to use technology.
• Evaluation philosophies and techniques.

In association with Indiatimes
Information Technology in schools in the new millennium
By A N Warhadpande

5. Should we ape?
"I cannot say that everything is wrong with the Indian
Education system, if that were the case we would not
have seen so many top professionals who are Indians
in the developed countries.“
Dr. Karan Singh
A country or an individual cannot become great just by
copying someone else.
To progress, it is absolutely necessary to:
 examine the environment,
 the state of technology,
 availability and quality of both material and human resources.
In short, every project needs to be individually studied.
We certainly have to take advantage of the facilities provided by technology in
all walks of life including education. In education, we are dealing with children
and we do not immediately see what good or bad we are doing for them, it is
revealed several years later.

6. Recent Discussions
A lot has been said, written and discussed by various specialists in various
forums on these topics.
After being exposed to the various thoughts on the subject one gets totally lost!

7. and Parents…
One hears parents say very proudly
"My child is only three years old and
spends hours with the computer,
hearing stories, seeing pictures and
interacting with the machine".
Some people have already started
saying, "If Internet is not brought
to school, children will have to
interrupt their learning for coming
to school".

8. Repercussions
With a little reflection, the questions that dominates are:
"Have we seriously thought about what a child should be
exposed to in say 10 to 12 years of schooling?"
What about getting used to living in a society?
Can we human beings spend our lives with a machine for company?
Will we be happy to get help and assistance from machines only
instead of advice and guidance from parents, elders and even peers?
Will the machines be more satisfying friends than live human beings?

9. Some more…
• On the other hand we complain that the use of technology by children do
not learn the basic concepts.
• They should have a facility to get answers to their questions as and when
questions occur to their mind. So! Every child should have a multi -media
system with an Internet access at all times.
• We talk about using technology to facilitate all our work. Children should
carry their computers to school and back, instead of having a load of books
and notebooks.
It should be of great concern to see that so much thought is going into how
teaching and learning should take place and nobody talks about what should
be taught or learnt.

several worksheets simultaneously and perform calculations based on data
from multiple worksheets.
Sheet tabs
The names of the sheets appear on tabs at the bottom of the workbook
window. To move from sheet to sheet, click the sheet tabs.
Active/Selected cell
A cell is the intersection of a row and
column. The cell that is selected by
clicking or using the arrow keys is the
insertion point.

69. Chapter – 4 (Beginning C++)
Discussion Outline
• Introduction
• Brief History of C++
• Development Cycle
• C++ Character Set
• Data Types in C++
• Identifiers and Keywords
• Structure of a C++ Program
• Variables
• Constants: Literals
• Comments
• Preprocessor
• Basic Input/Output
• Formatted Output

70. Introduction
• Languages evolve to solve specific problems
• The Object Oriented approach evolved similarly
providing techniques for
 managing enormous complexity
 reuse of software components
 defining data coupled with related tasks
• OOP treats data and the procedures that act upon the
data as a single “object”
• The object is a self contained entity with an identity
and certain characteristics of its own
• Some OOP languages are SmallTalk, Java, C++, Ada
etc.
• C++ is a superset of the language “C” – it inherits all
the features of C and adds a whole lot of capabilities
to it

71. Features of OOP
• Simple, easy to maintain, reusable programs known
as objects
• Binds code and data together creating a more
powerful unit encompassing all details of a process
or a task
• Such modules or objects can be dedicated to perform
specific tasks

72. A Sample Program
C++ is a powerful general-purpose programming language. It can be
used to create small programs or large applications.
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!";
return 0;
}
Let's look at the elements of the program.
#include: A preprocessor directive that tells the compiler to put code from the header file
iostream.h into our program. By including header files, you an gain access to many different
functions. For example, the cout function requires iostream.h.
int main(): This line tells the compiler that there is a function named main, and that the function
returns an integer, hence int.
Braces ({ and }) signal the beginning and end of functions and other code blocks.
cout Function: The next line of the program may seem strange. If you have programmed in another
language, you might expect that print would be the function used to display text. In C++, however,
the cout function is used to display text.
Insertion operators: The <;<; symbols, are known as insertion operators. The quotes tell the
compiler that you want to output the literal string as-is.
Terminator: The semicolon is added onto the end of all function calls in C++; the semicolon later
shows up when you declare variables.

74. Abstraction
• Provides facility to/for:

encapsulation
data security
• Abstraction handles the complexities of an object
• Example:
Driver changes gears while driving. The task is
performed but the actual process of gears changing
is hidden from him.
