In today’s digital world, children are exposed to technology in every walk of their life – from mobiles to PCs. Today’s generation wants learning to be experiential, engaging and enriching.

Pearson Education has taken a proactive approach in spreading this digital revolution in India and has put technology to its rightful use by launching ActiveTeach.

The digital learning product was showcased during a workshop organised by Pearson Education on ‘NLP: Cutting Edge Technology for a modern classroom’, conducted by NC Sridharan, educationist and NLP (Nero Linguistic Programming), master practitioner. The workshop was followed by the unveiling of ActiveTeach which was done in the presence of academicians and principals from schools in Kolkata.
