Teacher Materials
To meet the need of Indian teachers for incorporating IT effectively
in schools, Jiva has developed specialized teacher resources.
JETS
Creating
Constructive Classrooms
JETS is a specially-designed 54-hour IT course for teachers that,
through step-by-step activities, provides teachers with the right
amount of support to ensure that they not only master the basics of
IT but also realize these practically in their lives as educators.
The course has been specially developed keeping into view the IT
skills expected of present-day teachers. Starting from the very
basics, it goes on to enable teachers acquire proficiency in
handling computers.
All that teachers require to complete the course is to study the
material at their own pace and leisure, complete the workbooks, and
send these to Jiva for assessment.
Jiva issues a certificate of competence in computers after the
successful completion of the course.
