while teaching xth class CBSE mathematics i have noticed that atleast 30- 40% of the time is spent by the teacher in writing on the board ( black/white) while explaining a concept. During this time the eye-contact with the student is missed. And this could lead to wavering of concentration especially amongst not so attentive students. And to bring them back into the loop would be very time consuming disturbing the other committed students.But this time can be reduced - can't be fully avoided - with the help of Power Point presentations. All concepts, the problem itself, and the explanation of a solution can be pre-arranged in slide form which can be great teachi

The Board Examinations are a nightmare for students who are going to appear for the same. The CBSE is a large body that conducts these examinations. CBSE stands for Central Board of Secondary Education. CBSE Papers are not very tough. But it does not mean that without any studies you can just sway the wand and clear it all. However, if your preparations are proper then of course you can perform in a better way. The best way for cracking CBSE 10thas well as CBSE 12th Boards Examinations is through thorough practise of and solving of as many Question Papers as possible of previous years across all subjects.

A student of Class IX says about the grading system, "I shall opt for the board exam (Class X) because even if I don't do well the whole year, I can make up for it during the boards. In the (new)grading system, I will have to constantly monitor myself and be on tenterhooks all the time." There are about eight lakh CBSE students to be given the option of not writing the boards of Class X from the year 2011, as it has announced by Union Human Resources Development minister Kapil Sibal some days before. It is not surprising that many students see this new grading system as more stressful because it is unfamiliar to them. But is there any another

Most frequently it seems to be used for web-based distance education, with no face-to-face interaction. But it has much broader meaning. It includes all types of technology-enhanced learning (TEL), where technology is used to support the learning process. Although pedagogy is usually not part of the definition, some authors do include it. For example in this definition, where e-learning is said to be: "pedagogy empowered by digital technology".

Soft skills is a sociological term which implies the cluster of personality traits like social grace, communication, language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism that characterize relationships with other people. Soft skills complement hard skills (part of a person's IQ), which are the technical requirements of not only a job or any job but many other areas. When we talk particularly about person's soft skill EQ, it is an important part of his or her individual contribution to the success of an organization.

To get hold of one is quite tough but once you are in, you are there for a roller coaster ride. Many colleges award rooms in their hostels on the basis of merit so this is yet another arena where you have to fight with your percentage as a weapon.
