That is precisely what you dont want to do - buying someone else's idea of an 
idea. Content creation must be part of the students work, whereby they can 
directly feel the original idea. Amit Dhakulkar's use of a gps to teach 
physics, maths and geography is one such. Kids in Khalapur recording tales 
told by their grandparents is another. Many such absolutely interesting  
stuff in Khalapur.
