DESCRIPTION
Touchpad PRIME (Version 1.2) series based on Windows 7 and MS Office 2010 is designed carefully keeping in mind the overall growth of the child.

The students will face a global competition once they step out of the school so they should be updated with the latest technologies like 3D Printing and Artificial Intelligence which holds a promising future in the times to come. Introduction of open source software like Tux Paint, Scratch and Python in the curriculum will definitely give our students an edge above others and hence make programming ideas more innovative and creative.

Learning is done best when it’s fun-filled and activity based. To ensure that the content intrigues the students at all times and keeps them interested throughout the course of the book, we have included interesting key features like Student Corner, Tech Funda, Clickipedia, Comp Caution, Reboot, One Touch Learn, Let’s Do It, Crack The Code, Hands— On, Subject Enrichment—Fun In Lab, Teacher’s Corner, Periodic Assessment, Test Sheet, Project, Speech Drill and Supplement Pages.
