The success of a business deal depends on the subtle `pre & post experience' of customers, and not the sales call itself!

was at the inaugural of Hotel Premier Inn yesterday on an invitation by the British Trade Office, Bangalore. All elegance and grace in true English style.

wonders, do companies and individuals give impetus to PM certifications like Prince 2 or PMP? Do companies feel the difference in expertise of individuals with such certifications?

Which is better, PMP OR Prince 2? And why do you think so? Could I have some inputs please? This is urgent.

Reminder that learning with fun can change our kid's focus from exam-writers to creative thinking. Difference isn't much from `learning', but their`approach' definitely is.

Expectations raise the bar, create stress for self & for others, a sure shot recipe for failure. I realise reasons for learning problems in young minds, when parents pressure them for marks & ranks.

It is so interesting how easy success can be, when you take an action as if you were just enjoying it, without any expectation! I experienced one today.

ICT in Education; challenges start with *Power *Availability to infrastructure *Access to broadband *Easy path to roll-out technology *Trained manpower / teachers to handle technology (meaning tech must be simple to use....

Many advantages are already being experienced by industry. Vision 2012 and Vision 2020 are achievable, but industry must stay focused.

ICT in education is a huge challenge, especially in a country like India. Of course many of us are already aware of these. But with huge impetus given to e-Gov, means reduced time frames, less corruption, faster paperwork... many advantages already experienced by industry. Vision 2012 and Vision 2020 are achievable, but industry must stay focused.

BangaloreIT.biz last day update..... interesting perspectives from the track `IT Enables Education'.

BangaloreIT.biz update..... interesting info regarding UID project by Nandan Nilakeni. I thot it was profile with an ID Card. I realise it is just number & no profiling. A uniq number for name + address + date of birth + bio-metrics (finger print & iris)- nothing more. Central repository will respond Yes/No for identity query & no info is passed on. Huge challenge creatng & processng a billion IDs!

Glad that I will be attending `IT in Education' Track at Bangalore IT.biz 2009

I will miss the CIO Summit at TISS, Mumbai :(

attended a talk on Vision 2020: Leadership series.

Padmashree Warrior presented the Cisco side of the story and some interesting statistics and insights into broadband connectivity in India.

Reach and cost are Two major constraints in India.

One that caught my ears was this world fact from her:
Every second - 4 children are born AND 32 mobiles are sold! That's the speed at which technology is seeping.

Have you InQuizitor'ed today? (www.inquizitor.com)

I would like to call it the InQuizitor effect.
Have you InQuizitor'ed today?

This could be an answer to a student's woes. How often have we heard of parents claiming, my child does not like reading his textbooks. He only learns for exams and forgets it afterwards.

InQuizitor forces book reading, because questions can be prepared from any corner. And when the user finds he has scored less, and can't play the game, it poses a challenge. `Addictive quizzing', we call it `Stealth Learning'

Bored studying from textbooks

It is time to try using additive learning methods, that keeps you hooked to learning, but have fun all the way.

Retaining student attention in class.. a big challenge. Simple Tips:
* Maintain eye contact - ensure that students know you are watching them
* Maintain positive body language - stand or sit straight, not leaning
* Use positive language - helps students maintain positive attitude in class
* Ensure everyone is attentive - check with questions & quizzes (for e.g., www.inquizitor.com http://ping.fm/W8scZ)
* Be tough but handle easy - the objective is not to antagonise but to assist students.
