Welcome to the world of free and open software applications

The digital world is full of offerings, software applications, web tools, digital resources and is open to teachers and students to dive into it and learn. Such learning is not only becoming familiar and comfortable and competent in the use of different digital methods, but also strengthening ones own capabilities for self-learning and peer based learning.

In the ICT textbook you would have been introduced to many processes of learning using ICT which require the use of different software applications. This page will give you an organized representation of the different software applications used in the textbook, organized by the themes of ICT.

You can approach the applications through the text book and the hand book, to learn every tool as it becomes necessary to transact the text book. You can independently explore the applications as well! This section intentionally includes many many more applications than is required in the text book, which you may learn at your pace and inclinations.
