National Portal for teachers
by Charu Mathur 07 Sep '08

07 Sep '08

Respected Friends, On the occasion of Teachers day, Smt. Pratibha Patil, President of India has launched a unique portal for teachers. Azim Premji Foundation with the collaboration of Knowledge Commission has developed this portal. This is an initiative taken by any govt body to bring together the school teachers community on one platform, so that they can share their expertise and views. Currently this is available in Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada . The initial phase of the portal envisages a space for teachers to express their ideas and share their thoughts on any subject that touches their professional lives. Phase one involves the uploading of material created by and for teachers in five languages (Hindi, English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada). These will be short articles written by teachers on subjects of their choice including classroom practice, their experiences in school and ideas that they tried to experiment on. This Phase also envisages the beginnings of a district-wise directory of resource organizations working in education - this will help teachers gain access to material and people in their own geographic area. During the subsequent phases of the portal, teachers will continue to contribute their thoughts. Links will be provided to websites of other organizations, institutions and people to provide access for teachers. Resource material (articles, policy documents, manuals, tools and modules) by experts in the field will be made available on the portal either directly or through links. Teachers will be able to interact with each other and post questions and opinions. The number of languages offered by the portal will gradually increase until all Indian languages are covered. The Home Page will also feature a "Teacher of the Month" in recognition of special efforts. This portal will offer resources related to education perspectives (Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Economics), classroom practice (Principles of Pedagogy, Pedagogy of Language, Science, Mathematics, History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, EVS, Art, Music, Dance, Sports) including manuals, activities, modules, tools etc. Subject Content (Language, Science, Mathematics, History, Geography, Political Science, Economics, EVS, Art, Music, Dance, Sports) Stories, Songs, Games that teachers can use in class, reading resources (including links to other websites/portals/on line library), research information and specific case studies.

Medical Wiki Backed by Prominent Colleges Will Go Live by Year's End

The Chronicle of Higher Education, September 5, 2008 Medpedia, a new online medical encyclopedia to be written and edited by a collaborative group of thousands, with support from several leading medical schools, is calling for volunteers. But not everyone will be accepted. Only those who hold an M.D. or Ph.D. in a biomedical field need apply. That is one way in which the ambitious project, which plans to go live by the end of this year, hopes to set itself apart from existing medical Web sites. http://chronicle.com/free/v55/i02/02a01702.htm?utm_source=at&utm_medium=en -- Vimal Kumar V.
