Abstract

In toda'�s world, traditional teaching has been losing its impact during classroom teaching. Students get lazy after 20-25 minutes in an hour lecture and it makes difficult to teacher to engage a large crowd classroom. It is the need of the time to use innovative teaching learning techniques to make lectures interactive and create interest among students. These techniques should promote independent, critical and creative thinking among students. Also, increase student�s interest in lecture, motivation and performance in examination.
