Achieve Success With AI

I guess a person becomes wise the moment he realises that every thougt that erupts in mind is not worth capturing- he has to let many of them unnoticed- of many thoughts that he captures - not all them worth chasing- most them have to be discarded at once. Then when he realises that of the thoughts he chose to pursue further only few produce results. Then when he finally notices of all results obtained only few are considered as prized ones. Mind of a person produces about 50,000 thoughts a day.

Web is a veritable resource. Its resourcefulness is expanding by the moment. These resources are globally accessible and many of them are free and available on 24/7 basis. Web resources today are assuming an stage of what might become a new language. A language is a resource that provides you with a set of means. These could be used for many activities including thinking, communicating to name a few. The means of language include words, phrases, grammar and meaning etc. Working with language practically means harnessing these resources(means) towards certain ends. Web resources constitute something similar. A language worker- say an essayist, poet or even a teacher rarely invents a new word, but always uses an existing word or any other means to achieve a certain goal. No one ever has been honored for inventing a new word- but honored always for harnessing its potential meaning: story telling or communicating. Here I use working as a term to denote the primary activity of a person: t

These are times of plentiful choices. In fact choices we have are practically infinite. Every bit of information that we get or encounter offers us a “potential” choice. Information is power and hence we are very powerful in this connected world powered by information and communication technologies (ICT). However we know that we are powerless unless we know what choice to consider. We are flooded with information. We know success comes only through work and work is all about decision making – choosing right ones from a sea of choices. We control our destiny through the choices we make- what gets done and how we do it. Our choices determine our directions and therefore paths we take. So one of the eternal challenges is figuring out which few facts, bits and bytes are critical from all millions of pieces of information swirling around you- all that on a continuous, real-time basis. Each one us must design her/his own method to tame this information overload and harness it in profitable m

WebLab 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

Plentiful resources available on the web have created a new experimental and entrepreneurial opportunity: creating of web-based endeavors. A web-based Endeavour can be entrepreneurial or educational in nature. A Web-based endeavor is any project that harnesses a web-based resource in creating an end-user value or utility. For instance A custom search engine ( CSE ) eliminates for the end user the drudgery of going through a flood of general search engine outputs by conducting search action within a mentioned list of one or more web sites or resources. Here is an example of CSE that helps students to search for seminar topics . Search API enables a programmer to select a portion of search engine index and customize its output on a give web page or end-user screen. Here is an example or ( example ) in which search API is used to screen and filter a particular category of documents to be listed for the end user. Web API from different service provider can be combined in innovative man

Last few days I spent attending my ailing mother who was admitted to a hospital in Mysore. One morning while I was on my way to hospital, I saw one saw a person moving slowly. I could faintly remember that face and while I came close to him, I said " Sir are u BMK ?" Yes he said. BMK was my chemistry teacher while I doing my graduation in Sarada Vilas College , in Mysore during 82-85. Next few minutes he spent updating me about college, our old teachers and his colleagues. He said Prof. Janardhan Rao is now almost blind and is in Warrangal , with his daughter. Our mathematics teacher Prof Nagaraj Rao and another professor Narendra he said were no more. Prof. Nagarathna , Physics professor has moved to US after one of her son met with an accident. Later I visited college web site and noted that , Prof. Ashok Kumar is current principal and Prof. Nataraj is the vice principal. They taught us Botany and Kannada respectively. Those few minutes with BMK took me to two

Teaching can be seen as a process. It consists of a sequence of steps or functions : such as discovering information to delivering of lecture. Lean thinking aims to eliminate waste from any process. Therefore teaching is good candidate for the application of principles of lean thinking. Teaching is moving teaching what to teaching where. In the past, when schools were less in number and teacher were difficult get, teacher's job consisted of teaching a student "what and how". With the spread of education and advent of web, number of resources that teach you " what or how" are increasing in number and accessible from anywhere. In this context, teaching becomes more of "teaching where" to look for learning resources and how to harness them. Lean teaching is all about linking students to minimum number of learning resources. This must eliminate waste in terms of unsuccessful searches.
