One of the most important, I would say VITAL, ingredients for success with any venture is a basic interest in wanting to make it work!  Everything else follows from that.  (This is why sceptics and critics probably don't achieve very much!?😊) And you are absolutely right about amazing and free (what's better than free??!😄) resources on the Net.  I wish more teachers would embrace rather than be intimidated by innovation in education, which of course involves an increasing degree of technology in the classroom, addition to relatively new concepts like collaborative learning.  We learn best when we learn in several different ways and learn from each other in a collaborative learning environment.  This is very different from the (still widely prevalent) system of teacher-centric/centred education, where the teacher supposedly knows/should know/is required or expected to know 'everything' and is expected to 'impart that knowledge and wisdom to his/her students!!'. I think, particularly in this day and age, the most effective teachers are those who can openly admit to their students that they do not know everything, and are happy to learn from their students as much as they are delighted to share with them what they do know!  Open discussion in the classroom, and students researching info on topics is now the way to go, wherever the circumstances permit, and wherever and whenever they can be created.  A lot of our textbook info is outdated (except history, perhaps!😊 and Math, too) as it goes to print!! I am somewhat familiar with the Khan Academy.  Can't say I know too much about it.  Thanks for the link! (As you can see, education is a topic that is still very close to my heart....always was, always will be!😊) Regards, Patsy Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 2:22 AM, Arup Bhanja<[email protected]> wrote: Patsy, Agree with you on the specific tech and investment for such setups. But we can take help from more easier and freely available stuff from the net. I mentioned Khan Academy in the other thread - https://www.khanacademy.org/ - I am sure many teachers like you are aware.
