Ma.fi is a comprehensive, electronic textbook in mathematics for grades 7 through 9 in primary school (junior high school). Instead of the teacher having to adapt to the teaching material, the teacher is now able to modify the material to fit his or her own teaching. Ma.fi is a product from Finland, the country with the world’s best educational system, and it is created by award-winning teachers. The material follows the Finnish curriculum, which is internationally compatible.

“It Took A Pandemic to See the Value of Technology Coaching in Schools” by Stephen Mosley https://link.medium.com/dDa8dDTrV6 - one of the best summary of what we are going through on the education front.

“If we are continuously able to monitor and measure a learner’s adherence to the tasks assigned, their interactions with other learners on online channels, their connect with mentors in sessions, etc. via tools such as CleverTap/Netcore’s Smartech integrated with one’s LMS, a significant impact can be made,” feels Doshi.
