The
Pathshala interactive educational software was conceived, designed
and produced by Aurina Education Systems for junior and senior
KG children studying in the Gujarati medium. These CDs contain
tons of activities meant to make learning easy and full of fun
for your 3-6 year old. Your child will learn to use letters,
words and numbers, do simple addition, and recognise shapes
and colours. She will learn to identify and name common objects,
parts of the body, things at home, things at school, vegetables,
fruits, flowers, relatives, festivals, objects in the sky and
more. The CDs are the result of hours of painstaking efforts
by our team of experts, resulting in many features unique to
Pathshala. |
My
child does not live in Gujarat, nor does she go to a Gujarati
medium school. Why should I use Pathshala software for her?
Living outside Gujarat means special problems for parents and
children. As a caring parent, you would like your child to learn
about the culture and traditions that have helped to make you
what you are. You want your child to fit into her local environment,
but, at the same time, you want her to be comfortable when you
visit your home. Pathshala software has been designed to suit
Gujarati culture; by using it, your child will become more familiar
with the Gujarati way of life. The software can also be the
first step to learn the Gujarati language.
Is my child
not too young to use a computer?
Care has been taken to ensure that the motor skills required
to operate the CDs are within your child's abilities. For example,
young children find it difficult to "drag" a mouse
- none of our activities requires your child to do so. No knowledge
of the keyboard is required for using Pathshala.
What
is special about the way topics are dealt with in Pathshala?
All the topics have activities that encourage children to explore,
experiment, take risks, make mistakes, succeed and most important
- to enjoy the learning process. This feature is possible because
there is a precise balance of educational content and entertainment
value. Pathshala activities have been carefully selected to
be full of fun while educating the child. To achieve this, amusing
animal characters, game environments, state-of-the-art graphics
and music have been made part of the activities.
Will
my child be tested on what she has learnt? Will my child be
encouraged to do better?
Generally, topics have been designed to include the following.
" Learning module
" Testing module
" Play module
All the testing activities of the CDs end with a reward. Testing
is done in such a way that your child will enjoy being tested
and will be motivated to do better.
The performance of your child is monitored during testing. At
the end of each session, the child is allowed to see and print
a certificate showing individual activity performance and the
overall performance.
If
you have downloaded the demo software or have used our software,
we would appreciate your feedback. Your comments would be invaluable
in designing further releases of the software. |
