Rinpoche is a well-known Tibetan Buddhist meditation master and best-selling author. At 10 am, the school heads received Rinpoche and his escorts and took them around for a brief campus tour.

At 11 am, students and staff members of senior section gathered at the school auditorium for Rinpoche’s audience and teaching on meditation.

Rinpoche made the act of meditation so simple and interesting for students. He began his teaching by explaining the immediate and long term benefits of meditation in our real life. Students enjoyed practicing the three simple methods of meditation and selecting the one that they like. Rinpoche reiterated the very nature of human mind, and how it could be successfully tamed through regular meditation.

The Q and A session after almost two hours of teaching paved a way to clear doubts about the meditation and simple Buddhist principles.

In the afternoon, students and teachers of junior and infant section; kindergarten to V, had separate audience of Rinpoche and rare privilege to learn and exercise the simplest approach to effective meditation and practice mindfulness. Rinpoche’s teaching on meditation for young children was extremely fun and interactive yet powerful and motivating.

The resource persons of the workshop were Ms. Tsering Tsamchoe from Mevon Tsuklag  Peton school Dharamsala, and Ms. Tenzin Youlo from Department of Finance(CTA). The actual workshop began with a pre-assessment on ICT.

Through activities the participants were made to have deeper understanding of the various theories and methods of teaching and learning.

There were also power point presentation highlighting the benefits of integrating ICT in teaching:-

• ICT when used into the curriculum, it revolutionized the learning process.
• ICT keeps students engaged in their learning using powerful tools and became creators and critics instead of just a consumer.
• It is a necessity of today’s students to have 21^st century skills

She further made very clear what is not ICT:-

• ICT is not a computer learning class
• It is not a substitute for teacher
• It is not a teaching tool-e.g.- teaching using a Power-point presentation to teach
• It is not learning parts of computer machines as chapter.

Throughout the workshop they reminded the teachers to design constructive learning activities and allow students to use technologies to create or construct something out of the lesson they are learning.

Both the resource persons explained how integrating of Information and Communication Technology in education helps our students in developing higher order thinking skills like analyzing, evaluating and creating.

At the end of the session, teachers seemed to have found the workshop enriching and convincing. The post assessment scores also showed that the participants have well digested ICT. The average score was 7out of 8.
