Dr. Jayakrishna K and Dr. Praveena M, Assistant professors of GCTE, were the resource persons of the day. The first session was handled by Dr. Praveena M at the Computer Lab. The session began with familiarising the terms 'Digital Natives' and 'Digital Immigrants'. The students were then given a comprehensive class on e- resources which include e-books, e-journals, e-dissertation, e- newspapers, e-databases and so on. The next topic discussed by the teacher was Blogs. 

The peculiarity of the workshop was that all the students were given a hands-on experience. The students got to do things on their own, thereby gaining a practical experience of all the taught concepts. The second session of the day was handled by Dr. Jayakrishna K. This session dealt with the creation of Google documents, questionaires, quizzes, Google classroom and such. Assignments were also given by the teacher for the students to put to practice what they have learned. Both the sessions were highly engaging and extremely beneficial.
