Imagine a History assignment where a student must submit a write-up on Mughal Architecture (or the form it takes as an oft-asked question in exams - "the contributions of Shah Jahan to Indian Archtecture"). Or a "project" on the temples of India. Think of the way this is usually done - a hand-written write-up with pictures cut and pasted into the notebook. Or in schools where students have access to computers this would take the form of a Word document with text and images or perhaps a powerpoint presentation with text and images. read more

Hello!

I was doing a search on teaching resources for 'Water' and found this informative portal called "India Water Portal". There is a lot of information on this site about things like Rain Water Harvesting, Watersheds, urban water anf ground water issues, and also "Data and Resources" like meteorological data, statistics, policies etc.

It was nice to see a kids section (I have provided the link), but none of the links on this page worked - maybe it is still under construction? read more

An Inconvenient Truth is all over the news again thanks to the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to Al Gore (and the IPCC) recently.
