Full Session Description (as long as you would like):                                                                  Students at all levels in this digital era show extraordinary learning styles and it has become very challenging to educate these students. It must be admitted that even curriculum designers find it very difficult to design a syllabus that caters to the needs of all children. Thus, there is a need for revamping the syllabus that integrates the concept of unschooling with traditional classroom teaching. In other words, the curriculum has to offer scope for students to learn a few concepts in their subjects beyond the traditional classroom environment, through an online platform.  In this presentation, the presenter would share the experiences of a school child who had the opportunity to learn new concepts in mathematics, one of the challenging subjects, through an online platform.
