New Brave World of Web Resources
Today we have plenty of web resources available. These resources range for simple tools- information, communication, collaboration, networking to entrepreneurial resources such as API. Time has come to help our students explore this new opportunity.

What is a web lab?
WebLab is a place where students can learn and explore web resources- and verify their utilities through variety of activities. These activities may be carried by the teacher or students to explore, to learn, to stimulate interest and develop favorable attitude towards web resources.

Need and purpose of WebLab
Some of the ways in which a WebLab can contribute to the learning and subsequent harnessing of the web resources are:

  • It provides an opportunity to students to understand and internalize the basic web resources through concrete applications
  • It enables the students verify or discover several web resources and applications using search and explore techniques
  • It helps students to build interest and confidence in learning and working with web resources
  • The WebLab provides an opportunity to exhibit relatedness of web resources with everyday applications
  • It gives greater scope for individual participation and exploration in the process of learning and becoming autonomous learners
  • It provides scope for greater involvement of both mind and the hand which facilitates cognition
  • The laboratory allows and encourages the students to think. Discuss with each other and the teacher and assimilate web resources in a more effective manner.
  • It enables teacher to demonstrate, explain and reinforce abstract web resources by using concrete examples and uses.
