says that project-based learning using technology has improved students’ interest and learning, making them more inquisitive about science. “Earlier students weren’t interactive during science lessons and it was difficult to know if they understood what was being taught,” she told VillageSquare.in. “Now, when they do projects using computer applications, it is evident that they are learning.”

Integrative approach to technology in education, or ITE, is a project that aims at improving teaching and learning processes using information technology in school curriculum, providing students an opportunity to create their own learning artifacts. The project, being implemented in government schools and madrasas across seven northern and north-eastern states in India, helps students have a better comprehension of their lessons.
