'Innovation in education'

"The usage of the word ‘innovation’ is not uncommon these days. At the mention of the word, sparks an array of similar phrases like creativity, out of the box, thinking beyond the usual etc. The basic learning of any individual starts with education. To inculcate innovation in education means to bring about a change in the method of teaching, let’s say. This could mean going beyond the four walls of a classroom. For example, conducting a class in the realm of nature or in contrast, conducting a class using manmade resources like web technology. It is imperative to implement innovation in education as it can bring about many advantages in the modern age. These could be in terms of cost, time factor and augment overall efficiency by phasing out monotony. Innovation can only start with change, as ‘change’ is the only constant in the world."
