“Planning and setting up an adequate working environment”

As any passionate teacher will tell you, it is possible for education to nurture key skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, imagination, communication, agility and empathy. And, as per many studies– or perhaps even my own experience as a teacher – the common path for nurturing these skills is to foster a fun, play, and creativity in the classroom. I usually prepare my students to master technology by innovative classroom practices, stimulating open discussions and communicating with them on a regular basis. Studies show that students learn best when learning is dynamic, when they are occupied with hands-on classroom games and exercises, and associated with what they are realizing. 

What approach do you have for placement of the students from your university?
