At Udgam School, we believe in staying #aheadoftimes, hence adopt to the best possible practices to teach our students. Here are some ways we abide by to make learning – ‘Smart Learning.’
1) Microsoft Office
Udgam School for Children has always been a pioneer in using technology and has appreciated everyone associated with it to use it.
To present an expert and safe learning platform during this phase of remote learning, the school has provided complimentary access to a licensed version of MS Office to each of its students. The advantages of this facility are:
- Students can access all the features of MS Office using the ID and password provided to them as well as submit their schoolwork.
- Students of Classes 1 & 2 can access the online version of MS Office, while a downloadable version of MS Office is accessible to each student from Class III onwards.
- The benefits students can avail of using the MS Office Licensed Software are Office 365 Education, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, OneDrive and Microsoft Teams, plus additional classroom tools.
- The licensed version will help to imbibe habits among students of working in a professional environment.
- MS Office 365 is given to students, so they get trained in the latest software with full features, so they are ready for the future.
By making students use a licensed version of MS Office, the school is also instilling ethical values. Of course, using the advanced features, we prepare them with digital skills that are the need of this century.
MS Teams – We teach our students on a much-secured platform, Microsoft Teams, where they not only can attend the classes but also can view their upcoming meetings and classwork, ask questions in the chat box and upload homework online. Moreover, MS Teams also allows the teachers to explain on a whiteboard, share files, and make a note of the attendance and assignments of the students easily.
2) Connecting Millions –
Connecting Millions is an app used at Udgam School for easy exchange of information and access all school-related information at one place. Each student is given credentials, using which he/she can access the school’s portal.
The app helps the students & parents to access Daily Homework, Assignments, Attendance, Apply for Leaves, check Results, Parent Teacher Interaction PTI, Photo Gallery, Clinic Visits, Fees, and other important circulars & notifications from the school. Parents can further Connect and give their feedbacks or suggestions to school.
3) Smart TV –

4) Extramarks
Being one of the best English medium school in Ahmedabad, delivering unmissed education to our students stays to be our priority. We do not wish our students to suffer the loss of studies due to any technical, health, or other issues. So, to complement that, we have tried to contend the disadvantages of the synchronous learning module by blending it with an asynchronous method. We have offered all our students, that is from Grade I to XII, access to Extramarks app, at the cost of the school. Students can learn, practice, and understand the topics they want to repeat or have missed due to inconveniences.
Students can access the app using the login credentials given from school, by downloading the application on their devices.
