En este número

Technologies have changed from analogue to digital, industrial processes have become automated but the school classroom hasn't seen a change even after 200 years. The Covid-19 pandemic led to remote working and learning opening up new ways of using digital technology. The school and college campuses may need to change into a phygital mode blending the physical. digital and nature spaces giving an enriching learning experience for the child and something that mirrors the world outside. The 72nd Rajagiri Round Table Conference focussed on the theme of emergence of phygital learning spaces. The July issue of Pallikkutam takes a look at the importance of comics in school curriculum, positive impact of gamification, teaching money management skills to children and how to optimise digital gadget use for children. The issue has a new column Offbeat to keep track of the unusual and interesting news from the academic world. Expert Counsel by Dr KN Raghavan looks at the tensions that emerge in South China Sea from time to time, Dr Seshadri Ramkumar takes a look at how universities are grooming global citizen scholars, a father and son duo takes up a science project inspired by Wall-E and regular features on technology, parenting, teaching and innovations.
