My Professional Ambition

PROFESSIONAL AMBITION
As teacher educator, I am aware that technology has revolutionized an unprecedented change in the world economy and educational practices as well. I gain a momentum to develop attitude and aptitude towards integration of ICT in Educational practices.
I have also developed a Computer Assisted Instructional Programme consisting 197 frames on educational psychology. The frames are presented using visual basic version 6. The entire programme was also set in the language ‘Tamil’. Since students may or may not know Tamil type writing, the full programme itself is ‘Mouse Driven’.
I have been communicating to my students through Mobile Technology (M-Learning) and sending short messaging service (SMS) by facilitating them. M-Learning is advantageous than e-Learning. There 2.2 billion mobile phones when compared to 305 million computers. Communication through mobile phone is cheaper when compared to any other electronic gadgets such computer, fax etc.
I have started a blog titled www.teacherstour.blogspot.com where in which I have put articles, news, images, videos in the domain of education.
I along with my M.Phil scholars are involved in developing e-content in different school / college level topics.
ICT is based upon the application of the principles of psychology. I am also working on Emotional Intelligence as EI is gaining its popularity in the last decade. Emotional Intelligence can be defined as the ability to understand ours own and others emotions and to act accordingly in social relationships.
Emotional Education is the new word which is gaining momentum. Emotional Education is a process to impart knowledge and understanding to develop emotional competencies so that an individual can work as an effective human resource and good citizen in any circumstances.
Therefore my ambition is to do more research in ICT and Emotional Intelligence / Emotional Education and to propagate to academia and public through teaching, writing and electronic gadgets.
