​Teaching the young is an art which very few individuals are perfect in. The use of the internet has, to a great extent, changed the way of teaching youngsters. This is often referred as blended learning. DIY projects and assignments, e-lectures for classes and online discussion forums are some of the most common features of blended learning. Here are some ways in which blended learning has become a trendsetter among the youth today:-
What makes blended learning unique?
Blended learning is based on the necessity to make the learning experience more engaging for the students. A decade ago, the traditional classroom lecture was quite common for teaching students subjects such as literature. This in a way diminished the capacity of students to interact and learn with deep interest.
However, you should not assume that lectures are no longer relevant since in-depth discussion and dissemination of knowledge and details is relevant even today. But since the use of information and communication technology has become more common today, blended learning makes use of the internet to create an interest among students and go deep into any subject which they study.
But neither the time tested ways of learning or online learning can individually contribute to the advancement of the predictable ideals related to higher education. So blended learning has found widespread importance among students.
Use of blended learning in institutes offering higher education
There is a lot of pressure today on the higher education system for adapting to the ever changing needs as digitization has become a common phenomenon around the world. A mic of e-learning and traditional methods of teaching can to a great extent improve the learning experience of students.
The usage of apps such as iPad, GoClass and Broadcast in classrooms would enable teachers as well as students a step ahead towards education and learning. So, many institutions and universities are adapting to the use of blended learning with an aim to bring about a change in the system of teaching and learning. Conventional face to face education with the usage of internet as a tool within the classroom offers students with a far more interactive learning experience.
Use of the rotational model for teaching
This model of blended learning involves active involvement in offline as well as online learning. A specific time period is offered to complete different tasks which are assigned to a small group of students. In the rotational model because groups rotate their tasks periodically and each group participates in the respective tasks they are assigned.
The unique technique is catching up with the youngsters as they are gaining insights into many new concepts.

In order to communicate with a company’s target audience, language translation services are an inevitable requirement, especially while communicating with    customers with different culture and language. It is necessary to converse in the native language of the target audience to communicate effectively and achieve the company’s objective. Language translation services in India bridge the language and cultural gap through accurate and reliable translation of the content.

There are many certified language translation service providers in India, which provide professional translation and localization services in more than 80 languages around the world, including many rare languages. These translation companies accept the source document in any format (prepress files, multimedia presentation, website, printed materials, software GUI, help files, etc) and deliver the translated documents back in the same format. The companies providing translation services hire a team of professionals in various domains like graphic designing, website designing, publishing and pre-press activities.

Language translation services are used all over the world to be able to communicate and connect with people from across the globe. Language translation services in India help in bridging the large divide by bringing diverse groups of linguistically and culturally diverse people together, by enabling them to communicate effectively. The world is becoming a global village. Barriers such as language, geographical distances and borders are becoming a thing of the past and less challenging, with regard to communication and interaction. In order to establish and expand businesses and relationships, language translation services must be used extensively.

With today’s constantly changing trends, translation services in India ensure that they regularly upgrade their linguistic services. These translation service providers use state of the art technology and an advanced and innovative approach which ensures that their project team and leaders always aim to meet their client’s expectations. The blend of skilled manpower and utilization of innovative technology and expertise enables these translation service providers to undertake any kind of project.

​The importance of translation cannot be denied, as only approximately 10% of the people speak English. Language translation services help to reach out to the markets where English is not spoken. The internet revolution has increased the transactions over the net much more than before, so it is essential to translate the web content into other languages. Translation helps in interacting with people in different countries by cutting across language barriers. Even books, novels and literary texts need to be translated to other languages, so that they reach a wider audience.

Rebecca Albert in her article "Getting Curious (Not Furious) with Students" states that even though she is not an expert in trauma relating to children, her experience has helped her "recognize stress and trauma-related behaviors."As a High School teacher, she desired to help students who struggled with their emotions. She advises teachers that when their students behave badly, the teacher has to get curious and not furious; she must not take it personally and react on the basis of anger rather she must respond to the needs of the student.
The teacher must realize that such bad behavior on the part of the students has its roots in "neglect, abuse and violence." She further reveals that traumatic stress can result in " withdrawal or self-injury."
 
She further explains that modern Neuroscience has found that under constant stress or distress the mind shuts down and the student is unable to perform higher tasks such as "problem-solving and design thinking." The trauma may appear as "defiance or anger", but the teacher should realize that this is not the student's personal choice to act in such a manner.
 
The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children has found through its research the following advantages of emphasizing trauma-informed education:
 
Firstly, there is an improvement in academic performance,
Secondly, the there are fewer absences, detentions and suspensions,
Thirdly, it has been found that it reduced stress among teachers and students and there were fewer instances of bullying and harassment,
Fourthly, the teachers experienced better job satisfaction and safety.
 
She advocates the maxim "Curious-not-Furious" to novice teachers. A teacher who is curious about the reason behind the student's acting out will ask herself the following questions:
What makes the student behave so badly?
What are the factors causing such a behavior pattern?
Is the behavior a result of fear and insecurity?
Is the student lonely, hungry, scared or tired?
 
Instead of resorting to the traditional disciplinary measures such as detention, rushing to the principal's office or time-out, the teacher should first politely ask the child:
"How are you?"
"Are you okay today?"
"How can I help?"
"Is there anything you would like to talk about?"
 
 It is crucial that we create "classrooms of care". Rebecca states that a classroom should no longer appear "sterile, regimental or threatening." This according to her transforms  classrooms into "communities of care, discovery, and learning," for both students and teachers. Instead of reacting to the students' bad behavior, the teacher must respond to the needs of the student, taking an initiative to help the child and reduce her stress. One could have a talk after class, or meet the student counselor. When teachers care for their students, they are rewarded with higher attendance, better grades and more enthusiasm and interest in attending class and the school.

“Keep quiet!” and “No talking!” more often than not are just a musings of a madman in class. For keeping a classroom quiet, one needs to be respectful, tactful and creative. So, here are 11 ways by which you can quiet down a classroom.

1. Singing: However cliché and oxymoron this may appear to be, it is helpful. Singing alongside the class lets you control the flow in the classroom. Let them complete the song and then end it. This tricks the young students to keep quiet.
   
2. Sound signals: Using a sound that causes irritation to the students is a very tactful act. The irritable punishment is not corporal and causes self-realization among students about the value of silence.
   
3. Call and responses: To get the kids moving, call-and-responses is very efficient. For more effectiveness, CAP requiring physical responses are helpful. Phrases like “zip it” and along with the hand movement of zipping one's lips, or lock it, using two-finger-pointer towards your own eyes and then the students work amazingly.
   
4. Countdown: A teacher could say “By the count till zero, you get completely quiet! 10,9,8,7,…..!”. After the countdown, start the task as you planned. Through practice, the stragglers among the class will have to acknowledge it, and then see the serenity in the class to follow.
   
5. Quiet Sprinkles: For teachers with a dramatic flair, decorating a box labeled “quiet sprinkles” filled with imaginary glitter gets a kid’s attention. When peace is required, just sprinkle this imaginary glitter on their heads and they freeze in silence.  
6. Be Sneaky : Talking softly to a particular group of students entices others to heed to it quietly. Hence, peace in class accomplished.
   
7. Sign languages: Students can be really tiring. To relieve your vocals from stress, sign languages are useful. Indicating signs for standing up and sitting down and then have the students mimicking it is helpful. 
8. Hand signals: The countdown method discussed can be implemented in a more coherent fashion using hand signals. Using one hand and the 5-finger-countdown technique is functional and fruitful.
   
9. Getting playful: Phrases purposefully called attention-getters can quiet down a class. These are always playful and attract the students. For example, “jazz hands” or “Autobots unite” are the most functional ones. 
10. Concrete reminders: Youngsters can be trained to follow concrete reminders. Similar to signs, these are very efficient and strong indicators.
    
11. Alter teaching methodology: Variations in the method an educator implements keeps a class intrigued and attentive.

As the learning process is a never-ending one, so are the changes in the education system. The education system changes and should change with the changing requirements of the current state. Earlier, learning was confined to the physical classroom and had limited role to play to the development of the students. Their interaction was only through their teachers and the education depended on the limited teachers they had connection. 

But, with the age of digital revolution, the classroom education got metamorphosed into more of an instant and self-driven. Students now do not have to rely upon only one source for their learning needs and learn from the internet whenever they want. After that there was e-learning revolution, which was aimed to making learning easier for the students. 

The E-Learning Scenario in India 
India has one of the largest education systems in world, with more than one million schools, colleges and higher educational institutes. It has to be understood that the potential for e-learning is huge in India and some of the big companies like McGraw-Hill and NIIT have already tapped into this goldmine of K-12 and higher education online students. Some of the prominent Indian job portals, including naukri.com, have started e-learning options for professionals too in collaboration with professional training providers.

Many places in India still lack the access to good teachers and education facilities. This can be fulfilled with the help of e-learning. In the last two years, the e-learning market has already grown by a remarkable 55%. According to a report, the market was worth $2 billion last year and is expected to double by 2017.  

What are the factors pushing E-Learning in India

• Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC)
  MOOCs have become very popular of late. It was the starting of the e-learning revolution in India. Though, some of the best names in the MOOC arena like Coursera and Udacity are generally for the students with higher learning curve. It is predicted that the interest will rise in the country, with the students becoming more aware of the need to have good education. It is expected to increase by 28%, according to a report analysis. The IIT Bombay has also started three MOOCs last year and is expected to help the technical students in India tremendously.
  
  
• Government Support
  Some of the credits for the current e-learning scenario should be given to the government. The government has been a strong supporter and the department associated with it is actively developing new tools in this aspect. It is expected that the rural people will be benefited by top-learning courses through distance e-learning.
  
  
• The Corporate Aspect
  Many national and multinational companies are resorting to e-learning to provide training to their employees. They are moving away from the traditional training methods as it tends to become expensive an ineffective at times. E-learning is a more popular method, where the employees are responsible for their training and it provides flexible learning options that do not hamper their work.
  
  
• Modernisation of the Classroom
  Classrooms have become more interactive and this has increased the interest in learning among the school students. Nowadays, learning has even been modified in the form of games in order to make it interesting and easy to understand. This has pushed e-learning to be an important complement to the existing learning techniques for getting better results.
  
  

The Challenge
Though, there have a lot of advancements in the e-learning sector, there are a lot of challenges that it has to face. There is still a lack of internet connectivity in many places which will become the prime hindrance in its progress. Another important challenge there is in e-learning is the development of good instructional designs. Most of the good quality courses have high cost or are not accessible to the masses. Prominent MOOCs are growing and should solve the problem in the future. Overall, the e-learning scenario looks bright for India.

This blog is dedicated to the subject matter experts struggling conveying the body of knowledge associated with the subject to the candidates. As far as I know, there are certain facts that we take for granted but actually helpful for the learning.

They should join social networks as well such as research gate and explorable to learn from the group of practitioners. This will help experts to connected and updated with the latest news in their domain.
