Impact of Technology on Education

All of us, together, are surging through the most profound revolution in human history. Its impact is personal, national, global and in many ways, unlimited. Yes, it is the impact of technology.

For education is changing more than it has since the invention of the printing press over 500 years ago, as now the world is your classroom and learning is lifelong. Already two billion students spend four-fifths of their working hours outside school, in an iPod, YouTube, Google, Wikipedia, etc.

It’s Personal: where information and learning programs can be personalized. And you can share your own talents and skills with millions- for both fun and income. Read More

Not at all – welcome to “The school with a Difference –Victorious Kidss Educares – where you get a guarantee that your child will excel and will be brilliant, irrespective of the background and earlier education. Rabindranath Tagore had said, “Every child comes with the message, that God is not yet tired of men”. Tagore meant that every child is created perfect – made in the images of God. Does this guidance, to make them blossom to their full potential, means pressurizing a child? Certainly not – Parents who truly love their children, give them the gift of love, skills and abilities, they grow up to be more caring, loving and risk takers than those who have not been given these opportunities.

EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION – IS IT FOR EVERYONE?

We are so much a product of our own education that sometimes in teaching our children we unwittingly make the same mistakes that were the cause of so much suffering for us.

The school system arranges for kids to fail. We can all remember the big red “X’s” on all the wrong answers. Correct answers often received no mention at all. Tests were given with the intention of exposing our ignorance rather than discovering our knowledge. Read More

Two Golden Rules In Parenting

First of these two rules is – 1) What ever you pay attention to will increase : If you pay attention to your child’s, watching TV excessively, if you pay attention to your son’s / daughter’s handwriting, as not being very good – your nagging or persisting, is going to make the problem more visible – the problem will become more prominent. This rule comes from the rules of Quantum Physics of Einstein and Heisinger – Quantum Physicist. The quantum Physics explains that everything in this Universe – is made up of Matter. When you define matter – as per definition – matter means anything that occupies space. Whether $1000 note, a BMW car, a girl’s body, a man’s body, food, everything that occupies space is made up of matter. When you dissect this matter, into smaller and smaller pieces – you get molecules or cells – atoms – protons or neutrons – sub atomic particles like boson, lepkrik, krion etc. These sub atomic particles – they have a beautiful property. When you pay attention to anything – a sub atomic particle. It becomes visible. So the sub atomic particle becomes visible meaning the problem or the likely gain, becomes more prominent. If I was wanting a million dollar and pay attention to, how am I going to utilise / spend the million dollar, from some where, connections will be made and the million dollar will be made viable and usable to us.

Rethinking Our School Systems

A different way to learn is what the kids are calling for…all of them are talking about how our one size fits all delivery system – which mandates that everyone learn the same thing at the same time, no matter what their individual needs- has failed them.

How to enrich your child’s intelligence from birth

Every country’s educational priorities are completely back to front. Researchers have proven beyond doubt that you develop around 50 percent of your ability to learn in the first four years of life. And you develop another 30 percent of that ability before you turn eight. After age 10, the neural branches, which haven’t been laid, will die off.

This does not mean that you absorb 50 percent of your knowledge or 50 percent of your wisdom or 50 percent of your intelligence by your fourth birthday. It simply means that in those first few years, you form the main learning pathways in your brain. Everything else you learn in life  will be built on that base. You also take in a fantastic amount of information in those early years, and all later learning will grow from that core. Read More
