    Joe Sabah had said that you don't have to be great to

    start, but you have to start to be great. Every new

    beginning starts with a gritty mind. It is further said that

    nothing is achieved without pain. Thus, it has been

    concluded that more pain means more gain and no pain

    means no gain. It is very important to take the first stepwhich is always difficult to take. When we are dreaming

    new changes in life, it is obvious that there comes fear,

    anguish, sadness and doubts on the abilities and

    outcomes of the game. But once, the first step is taken,

    consequent steps follows which leads to success in the

    venture undertaken. The fructification of success has

    always been there in the destiny. The destiny took its

    shape because of the person being confident, steady,

    true and optimistic. Alongwith continuous dreaming andvisualization of positive outcomes cruised into reality.

    Apart from this, sharing helps in rediscovering ourselves,

    but never giving up attitude pays its price into tasting

    success. Just like bits and bytes of incidences make a

    hard disk full of memories. Similarly, success is like a

    tree and it will not grow overnight, but one has to be

    persistent and honest to find out the good results. Also,

    an individual will be successful when he is having the

    working knowledge about what he is doing and what itaccounts to in totality.

    Teaching Tips

    To engage the students following strategies should be

    kept in mind:

    Be enthusiasticInteraction

    Discuss, interact and reflect

    Create a link between already learnt material

    and new material

    Use in class activities to reinforce new material

    Use of interesting teaching aids

    Give examples from own experiences

    Encouragement of learning communities emphasize the most critical concept

    continuously

    Provide opportunity to students to think, discuss,interact and reflect

    Encourage students to ask questions Use variety of instructional strategies and

    resources

    Use of CL learning techniques Autonomous environment

    ContributionsThe Promise of ICT in Education

    The reality of the Digital Divide the gap

    between those who have access to and control of

    technology and those who do not means that the

    introduction and integration of ICTs at different levels

    and in various types of education will be a most

    challenging undertaking. Failure to meet the challenge

    would mean a further widening of the knowledge gap

    and the deepening of existing economic and social

    inequalities.

    Expanding access to education: ICTs are a potentially

    powerful tool for extending educational opportunities,

    both formal and non-formal, to previously underserved

    constituencies scattered and rural populations, groups

    traditionally excluded from education due to cultural or

    social reasons such as ethnic minorities, girls and

    women, persons with disabilities, and the elderly, as well

    as all others who for reasons of cost or because of time

    constraints are unable to enroll on campus.

    Anytime, anywhere : One defining feature of ICTs is their

    ability to transcend time and space. ICTs make possible

    asynchronous learning, or learning characterized by a

    time lag between the delivery of instruction and itsreception by learners. Online course materials, for

    example, may be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a

    week. ICT-based educational delivery (e.g., educational

    programming broadcast over radio or television) also

    dispenses with the need for all learners and the

    instructor to be in one physical location. Additionally,

    certain types of ICTs, such as teleconferencing

    technologies, enable instruction to be received

    simultaneously by multiple, geographically dispersedlearners (i.e., synchronous learning).

    Access to remote learning resources: Teachers and

    learners no longer have to rely solely on printed books

    and other materials in physical media housed in libraries

    (and available in limited quantities) for their educational

    needs. With the Internet and the World Wide Web, a

    wealth of learning materials in almost every subject and

    in a variety of media can now be accessed fromanywhere at anytime of the day and by an unlimited

    number of people. ICTs also facilitate access to resource

    persons mentors, experts, researchers, professionals,

    business leaders, and peers all over the world.

    Preparing individuals for the job: One of the most

    commonly cited reasons for using ICTs in the classroom

    has been to better prepare the current generation of

    students for a workplace where ICTs, particularly

    computers, the Internet and related technologies, are

    becoming more and more ubiquitous. Technological

    literacy, or the ability to use ICTs effectively and

    efficiently, is thus seen as representing a competitive

    edge in an increasingly globalizing job market.

    Improving the quality of education: Improving the quality

    of education and training is a critical issue, particularly at

    a time of educational expansion. ICTs can enhance the

    quality of education in several ways: by increasinglearner motivation and engagement, by facilitating the

    acquisition of basic skills, and by enhancing teacher

    training. ICTs are also transformational tools which,

    when used appropriately, can promote the shift to a

    learner-centered environment.

    Motivating to learn : ICTs such as videos, television and

    multimedia computer software that combine text, sound,

    and colorful, moving images can be used to providechallenging and authentic content that will engage the

    student in the learning process. Interactive radio likewise

    makes use of sound effects, songs, dramatizations,

    comic skits, and other performance conventions to

    compel the students to listen and become involved in the

    lessons being delivered. More so than any other type of

    ICT, networked computers with Internet connectivity can

    increase learner motivation as it combines the media

    richness and interactivity of other ICTs with theopportunity to connect with real people and to participate

    in real world events.

    Facilitating the acquisition of basic skills: The

    transmission of basic skills and concepts that are the

    foundation of higher order thinking skills and creativity

    can be facilitated by ICTs through drill and practice.

    Educational television programs use repetition and

    reinforcement to teach the alphabet, numbers, colors,

    shapes and other basic concepts.

    Enhancing teacher training : ICTs have also been used

    to improve access to and the quality of teacher training.

    For example, institutions can take advantage of the

    Internet to provide better teacher professional

    development opportunities to in-service teachers.

    Transforming the learning environment: Research has

    shown that the appropriate use of ICTs can catalyze the

    paradigmatic shift in both content and pedagogy that is

    at the heart of education reform in the 21st century. If

    designed and implemented properly, ICT-supported

    education can promote the acquisition of the knowledge

    and skills that will empower students for lifelong

    learning.When used appropriately, ICTs especially

    computers and Internet technologies enable new waysof teaching and learning rather than simply allow

    teachers and students to do what they have done before

    in a better way. These new ways of teaching and

    learning are underpinned by constructivist theories of

    learning and constitute a shift from a teacher-centered

    pedagogy in its worst form characterized by

    memorization and rote learning to one that is learner-

    centered.

    The various types of pedagogies have been explained intable 1 as shown below:

    Information & Communication Technology is

    universally acknowledged as an important catalyst for

    social transformation and national progress. If there isone truism that has emerged in the relatively brief history

    of ICT use in education, it is this: It is not the technology

    but how you use it! Technology then should not drive

    education; rather, educational goals and needs, and

    careful economics, must drive technology use. ICTs,

    therefore, cannot by themselves resolve educational

    problems in the developing world, as such problems are

    rooted in well entrenched issues of poverty, social

    inequality and uneven development. What ICTs as

    educational tools can do, if they are used prudently, is

    enable developing countries to expand access to and

    raise the quality of education. Prudence requires careful

    consideration of the interacting issues that underpin ICT

    use in the school policy and politics, infrastructure

    development, human capacity, language and content,

    culture, equity, cost, and not least, curriculum and

    pedagogy.Ms Savita Gupta, Asst. Professor

    Success

    Success is known by everybody in the world to be thing

    that we really want to achieve during a lifetime. But it is

    not only always the same thing for different people. You

    can give all kinds of names to success. Some people

    think that success means being successful in their

    business while some think that winning competitions is

    success. On the other hand, success is the sum of

    accomplishments you experience for quite some time.

    Success is durable. It is not only one happening as

    accomplishment and it is what marks the life or the

    career of an individual.

    Can there be something above success? Yes, true

    success is above the success. True success is what

    must mark your life to make it happy and special when

    you put your heart, your emotions, your feelings, your

    mind, your understanding and your very best entirely to

    gain something. Then, you are truly on your way to

    success. Success will come to you if it is associated with

    the effort and hard work.

    There are many areas in a person's life, self,

    friends, family, work, community and so on. To be truly

    successful, each of the areas needs to be properly

    balanced. You can improve by minor improvements,

    then, your life will gradually expand and become truly

    The Educational Learning Process

    I would like to say something on the teaching

    learning process. Firstly, I will talk over the education

    process of B.Ed. I think that it should be completely free

    from the theory and theoretical process. It should be full

    with practical knowledge. We should explore the

    psychological motivation only through the practical point

    of view. We should encourage the students about how to

    teach with the help of appreciation and imitation method.

    Whatever the student is in the past, we should explore

    the best method, which is taught by the teacher and that

    should be totally without prejudices. This will put

    education in its proper perspective and will make easy

    the goal of education to be achieved. Children must

    learn the basics. This aspect of education requires very

    careful preparation and methodology. It will lead to real

    preparation for life. Education does not mean just seeing

    the child through board examinations. It should not be

    totally information based to equip him to live as critical

    thinkers and active workers.

    Before the coming of the Britishers, India had an

    education system that could be packed back to 7000

    years. The colonial rulers replaced this with a system

    that suited their own interest. When we got

    independence 55 years ago, it was thought to create a

    new system of education. But the picture has not

    changed; two thirds are girls do not go to school. Not

    because they do want to go to school, but because the

    atmosphere of schools is so bad that the parents see no

    point in sending them there. The government schoolsystem is lifeline to education for the vast majority of our

    children. It must be realized and made to function well in

    such a way that it is not in any way inferior to any other

    school system in the country. Education must be seen

    not just as a sub set of society, but also as a superset

    that can transform society just as the industrial force

    changed the face of England in the nineteenth century.

    Education revolution can regenerate the society in 21st

    century in India. There is general enlightenment thatgood education will bring the socio economic upliftment

    of the people. The road to success is simple, instead of

    reciting the obvious mantra of making school going

    compulsory, we should make it compulsory to have good

    schools. This task is awesome in its perception but fairly

    simple in its execution. So, my request to you all is to

    help build good schools not only as requirement but as

    duty for nation. It will shape the future of the nation.
