STATE OF ART FACILITIES Technology has the potential to
change our lives for the better. The use of modern
educational technology makes learning more interactive
and fun. Technology cannot replace the educators
human touch, but it can aid the educator to play a more
effective role.
Computers
Children use computers right from class 1,
to learn, among things language and math through interesting games and
exercises. A collection of over 150 CD ROMs and several applications
from the Internet are accessed by students in the Computer Lab as a part
of the regular curriculum. In the Middle School, computers are also used
as tools to do several projects, including design, spreadsheet work, document
making, etc. In all there are 24 machines, which enable children to learn
independently.
Libraries
The Junior School library is designed to
develop a love for reading in young children. It has a small lawn of its
own for pleasant outdoor reading. There are over 6,100 books, comics,
encyclopedia, dictionaries, picture books etc. as well as over 100 audiocassettes
and 50 videocassettes. The middle school and junior school library is
a well-equipped reference centre that provides students and teachers access
to almost any information they may require. The Library has network with
other libraries in Ahmedabad and elsewhere, so that the students can access
material from all libraries all over.
Science
park
Various interactive
play-cum-scientific models surround the Eklavya campus.
Lissajous figures, double ended cone, cycloidal
path, parabolic dishes, sine wave, wave motion, and
Archimedes screw form part of this collection. The games
provide an excellent opportunity for students to learn
while having fun. Anyone can learn science
phenomenas without guidance through these play
models and exhibits.
As we learn while we play,
it is easy for students to learn science in an informal way.
Transport
The school has a fleet of buses to transport
children from the selected stops to the school and back. It is compulsory
for students to come to school by school bus only..

Laboratories
Children learn science
best by questioning and experimenting. The School has
well-equipped labs, to facilitate the process of learning
by discovery. The junior school Science lab provides an
opportunity for children to begin to explore the
day-to-day phenomenons in a scientific manner through
hands on experiences. Two fully equipped labs are a part
of the Middle School: one exclusively for chemistry and
the other for biology and physics. The labs are large and
spacious providing ample space and opportunity for
performing experiments and holding classes. Whereas, the
Senior School has separate labs for all three science
streams.
Teaching
Learning Materials Research and
Development:
"I
Listen, I Forget
I
See, I Believe
I
Do, I Learn"
Taleem division of EITE has developed, adopted
and collected many high quality teaching learning materials for the students.
EITE does continous research to incorporate and make teaching learning
materials based on the latest findings in psychology and other fields.
Taleem (from TLM - Teaching
Learning Materials - and also meaning education) is a unique
museum of teaching aids some collected from around the world, some made
at Eklavya. Sessions at Taleem are treats for children and trainees alike.
