How many parents, teachers and mentors are worried when they see their little ones surfing online on their own?

Yes, very much…. would be the answer of all.

Then the very next question that would come to their mind would be: how can we help the children learn what is right and good for them and have a control over what they can do online?

Bewildered by the same question, Kidzui was formed. Kidzui is a web browser built for children, which is easy to use with access to large set of diverse online content and activities. Above all, the basic version of this web browser is FREE !!!!! for all.

This is not just any other product which was created to build a fortune, but a serious product because it was built with input from a diverse team of teachers and parents who went online and found the best content around for kids. The best part is that the parents and the teachers can approve the content that they want their kids to enjoy and this can be done easily without applying the buggy filters that block content. So give it a try and make learning fun for your kids.

There are some other popular sites like these which are worth attention of everyone who takes education seriously and are as follows:

www.4kids.org: Videos, Games and a lot of information for both kids and teachers.
www.4teachers.org A wide variety of easy to use resources for teachers.
www.totlol.com This is a video site powered by google which has loads of content for children.
www.dimdima.com Excellent Moral based stories and more..
Nortel LearnIT A very good site with interesting resources for teachers and kids.
Oracle Think Quest Education Foundation Worth visiting… Students can create projects online.
Teachers Tap Professional Development Resources for Educators.

NCERT – National Talent Seach Examination

July 19, 2009/0 Comments/in Scholarship /by Prajval Sir

Mental Ability Test
Scholastic Ability Test

The second stage comprises of the social sciences, science and mathematics in the following categories at the national level:

Mental Ablility Test
Scholastic Ability Test
Interview

However in the second stage only the students who pass the written examination at the national level are interviewed.

Each student who is selected is entitled to receive a monthly 500 Rs scholarship from NCERT upto his/her doctorate education based on their selection of subject. The following are the important dates:

Stage 1 (State Level) : Last Date of Submission of Application form: 31st August 2009
Stage 1 Exam (Gujarat) : 8th November 2009
Stage II Exam (National Level) : 9th May 2010

I think in the limited scope of scholarship opportunity in India, this is a very good opportunity for students at a very early age and I personally think all 8th standards should appear for this examination.

Please visit the NCERT site under the scholarship section for more details or visit the following ad in the TOI newspaper.
