Savneet Singh

Hello everyone,  

This is Savneet Singh, from a beautiful city Bellevue, Washington. It is spring time and you can see nature at its best all over the place. I am nature lover, in fact, mother earth lover. I enjoy reading and writing about the health, environment & life related stuff, and doing volunteer work. I practice yoga and meditation with the sunrise. Whenever I get time, I go for trailing, walking or hiking. 

My classroom is going to be my  pentagonal laptop desk kept besides my bed.

I hold Post Graduate degree in Education as well as in Ecology & Environment. My M.Ed program gave me an in-depth and comprehensive insight of philosophical, psychological, social and economic aspects of education. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education (B.El.Ed.). This program gave me a chance to enhance my critical thinking, writing, verbal and quantitative reasoning skills. The M.Sc in Ecology & Environment helped me in getting chummy with nature.

 I started my career as a subject expert for an educational software company. But, I couldn't work there for a long, because I met an accident and had to stay home for some time. After that incidence, I started teaching at a primary school. Since then, I have yearned to move ahead in computer aided learning. I’ve 5 years of professional teaching experience. I taught Science, English and Environment to primary and  7^th to 10^th grade  students. I played the role of the head of Environment department and had an independent decision-making authority. Teaching students coming from rural areas, low income families and minority section helped me in adding patience, endurance and fortitude.  

During these 5 years, computer aided teaching was an integral part of my day to day lesson planning. I used Power-point presentations, graphs, excel sheets and animated DVD’s. I loved to see the sparkling eyes of my student while enjoying an interactive and animated presentation or the DVD, more than any traditional classroom lecture, which I might have delivered on the same topic. Through my experience, I came to know that kind of computer program, online activity or game should be age appropriate and should precisely fit in the context and needs of the students.

 I’m glad to say that, I am a national scholarship holder(India), given to only 0.1% students, those get merit in Secondary school exams.

This course will enhance my pre-existing skills in the field of education as well as in web-development and help in learning ropes of e-learning.
