Some Testimonials from IPICT teachers:

1.I have to admit that this course has metamorphosed me into a more effective teacher as now I exhaustively use Excel, Word MS PPT in the school along with my usage of the www. All my worksheets have now become computerised and my students' performances are analyzed using MS Excel. I have gained confidence in using ICT and also encourage others to do so.
My lessons have become more interesting and I am now planning to spruce up the ICT infrastructure of the school, where I teach after convincing the authorities concerned. I am confident that I shall be using the expertise gained in ICT to help the learning disabled too in the immediate future.
I also performed excellently in my online component of the ICT paper of M.A. Education of Mumbai University, wherein I effectively participated in discussion forums and blogged too thanks to the IPICT course.

What people say about IPICT:

This is to acknowledge the tremendous pleasure I derived from doing the EPICT Certificate Course. This was my first experience of a self -study, on-line course. It has given me the courage to do further such courses. The knowledge that I have gained will be extremely helpful in my assignment of upgrading the use of IT in my school and bringing it to an international platform.

Principal - La Martiniere for Girls, Kolkata

Initially I was apprehensive about my decision to start the course. But, as I embarked on the online learning, it was becoming interesting with every paper. It was actually "me" competing with "myself" to elevate my standard which was best being guided by the mentors who really took great pains in reading & correctly pointing out the lacuna's in the assignments submitted and in their feedback suggesting ways thereby redirecting & channelizing our thought process to understand & finally experience & enjoy the satisfaction of meeting up the standard on a paper getting approved.
