Abstract

Inspiring Creative Minds is an initiative and effort to reason a different perspective of teaching and learning to help students thrive and meet challenges and at the same time assist educationalists to impart education in an efficient and effective manner. In the predominant era of education, teaching and learning must transform to help students foster aptitudes to prosper in 21st century. Classroom tasks assigned to students at all levels of teaching and learning are extremely essential and it is mandatory for students to consistently follow and present assignments not only for recording commendable grades in exams but for holistic development of strong conjectural and pragmatic skills associated to a particular subject. Revising the curriculum topics is an important aspect of effective teaching and learning alongside pinpointing those topics which learners have not been able to comprehend because of numerous reasons. Effective teaching and learning necessitates improvements in lecture delivery which can bring enormous improvements to learners understanding of concepts. This research work proposes three innovative practices of teaching and learning that consider above aspects of teaching and learning and not only assist to deal with concerns related to teaching and learning but originate a competitive atmosphere which augments performance of apprentices and faculty members. Inspiring creative Minds is a teaching and learning approach which uses various software tools and IT infrastructure to provide ease and inspiration to students for better learning and participation in student centered learning process; in addition Inspiring Creative Minds is a guide to assist teachers for implementing and practicing student-centered teaching.
