Teachers of Bihar

A good teacher is a rare gem; and Bihar, the land of Buddha, is a treasure trove of such gems. However, their inspiring contributions remain limited to themselves. Instead, a simple web search about teachers of Bihar throws up a panoply of embarrassing news-items. The good lies buried under a pile of bad headlines. This must change. The good must well up above the bad. The nice guys must finish first. With this idea in mind, this web portal has been conceived. It is a portal of the teachers, by the teachers and for the teachers of Bihar. The layout of the portal, inter alia, includes a social media interface for the teachers, an online platform to share innovations and best practices, a content repository along with relevant links, a section for interesting periodical activities, an audio-video library of e- contents, a menu of educational songs and campaigns, a resource pool of motivated teachers and links to relevant web sites. The social media interface primarily consists of a Facebook group and a Facebook page, a YouTube channel, an Instagram page and a Twitter handle. The teachers, the pedagogues and other stakeholders are encouraged to watch, contribute, comment and criticize on the contents and progress of the portal. The internet is strewn with a jumble of contents and the users are spoilt for choice. While some of the best materials may lie camouflaged in a sea of mediocre videos, the time-wasting ones usually pop up at the top. Our portal seeks to house authentic contents on school curriculum along with links to audio-visual contents having proven users satisfaction. The portal offers a dedicated page for various educational activities like Masti ki pathshala (campus of fun) having children activities of learning as fun, Shikshak gatha ( Teacher’s saga) with teacher’s innovations and best practices, Vidyalay gatha ( School saga) with worthy interventions by schools, Book of the month, App of the month, Survey of the month, Chalo kuch ban
