Recently our minister Kapil Sibbal commented that education system should be student-centric and not exam-centric.
On a first glance, this note looks very impressive. But the question is how to make this transformation?
Do people who are in current education system, would be able to interpret this correctly and contribute to this transformation?
How the publications will work for it?
How the evaluation system will be?
Do parents understand the meaning of it?
So, the basic question is How people in current education ecosystem will learn it and be ready for this transformation?
Not sure, whether this was just a statement made to get publicity or Do Sibbal really understands about it and the challenges.
What do you think?

School session 2009-2010 started/resumed
I am back after a long time. Sometimes it is really difficult to catch some good time to work for your creativity and share ideas.
Well! the new session has just started in India and kids are all set to experience the new learnings. My kids are going to learn more on writing skills as they are into early years.
One thing I am wondering is we normally get to see the syllabus for new sessions every year. What moral, physical and technological learnings our kids are going to get in new session? Any idea?
I like to understand this from all of you who have their kids in different schools with different boards. What is the agenda you have for them?

What you want from Internet for your child?
This is a broad question that has answers depending upon age of child, his need of use etc etc
But one thing is sure! Whatever your child's need are Internet has answers to that. so how to reach to that? The general answer is 'Search'. How to search then?
well! 'Search' is a huge business on Internet and giants like Google, Yahoo, MSN and several other are running various types of services for it.
For example, Google.com or google.co.in are websites with Search toolbar as the only major element on their home page. By default, they provide web search results. You can search images, news, groups, and many other things using these search providers depending on the type of tool you need to use.
So, keep searching and let me know if you get something interesting that you were looking for or you got something else but that was also worth for you :)
Share that with me too!

How to get Internet connection in India?
Let me first start with putting some information for parents to know how to get Internet Connection?
As I am from India, I can provide you some of Internet Service Provider's web-links so you can check their offers and find out which one to choose based on the needs. Ideally, you need a connection that gives you high speed so any website you are visiting gives you less time in loading in your browser.
Here are some ISP's in India:
1. BSNL Broadband Connection: It is government division
2. Airtel: Most popular private network service
3. Tata Indicom
4. Sify
5. Reliance Communication
Check out their offers and find the one that you need. But you need to make sure, what do they have for you in offer, like support services, call center support, quality of cable they use, density of network, Internet uptime success rate, some free download facilities thru some of their portals etc. So get your deal now!
Yahoo! also provides a ISP directory from where you can search service providers in your region, click here to find the one.
Next post, I will provide some information on type of Internet Connections. Wishing you a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

Internet for Every Child
Hi,
When I look at where we are using Internet for many years, I find we are not even at stage where we could have got even 20% of Information, knowledge thru Internet.
I just thought why not to have a community for children at first so their learning can be more focused using it? Everytime we think of Internet for kids, we think it is a problem to manage for them by their parents because we donot know what all Internet has for our kids to learn, experience and adopt. Your kids can take a trip to the world with proper use of Internet and you can route them to learn and get questions answered in a better way so they can grow very perfectly with right source of knowledge.
So, what are you thinking, join hands with me and contribute so every child can get the best out of Internet and we can share our information with all such children.
Thanks!
