A very comprehensive website on anything and everything to do with flowers of India - types, botanical names, flowering tress, etc. Great resource for teachers!

Incredibly enjoyable set of animated videos that bring home simple messages of how to be more environmentally conscious. Wonderful for elementary school age kids, but can be enjoyed by one and all!

The site has links to what carbon footprint means and other tips on how to "Go Green".

These videos are a must watch! 

this site allows teachers who create multiple choice questions to easily make the scoring/marking/answer sheets.

I received this book from Arvind Gupta accompanied with this note - 

"Today I stumbled upon a wonderful book on PEACE STORIES by a very famous author Martin Auer - he is a very distinguished author - winner of the Hans Christian Anderson and other awards. He has put them on his website for free individual downloads. His story THE BLUE BOY is already out in 25 languages. Here is a really kind man who for world peace has done such a selfless job. read more

I dont know if anyone has already listed this site here, but this is a very good resource for History on European explorers who came to India. It is called THE EUROPE-INDIA MARITIME HISTORY PROJECT (which seems to include Indians too as seen in the 'interviewees' list).

I liked the timeline section. The Internet Resources section also has many good history websites listed.

(I was not able to visit educatorslog regularly - nice to see lots of new posts and links and videos and people. I liked the ideas for geography with Google Maps and Google earth)

Just love this video! I don't necessarily agree with their choice of people in the video - but I guess this was made for American audiences. The words and the message, however, are simply brilliant! Truly inspiring stuff...

With all the buzz around the Large Hadron Collider experiment which will fire up today, I thought I'd share a few links that you could share with your students as well to understand this huge, and hugely important, science experiment that we will be witness to.

If you want to get an idea of what the (Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment is all about - I've found this basic intro on Alice, CMS, Altas, LHCb and read more

A very Happy Teachers' Day to all of us here!

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
