Task given by Dr. Dilip Barad.   # Video: 1 Ken Robinson highly criticized the public education system In the first video. Public education was reformed on the base of two ideas, that are Economic and cultural. First purpose of public education is to make students economically better. Second aim is to transfer great heritage of culture. Thus, students can recognize their cultural identity. Current education system was formed in ancient time, so it will not be useful to the students in future. It has brought chaos in the lives of most of the people. Only few people are benefited from this system. Our present education system runs on the model of factory. Ringing bells, classification of classrooms etc. where students are not allowed to enter in other classes, even though they have the mental capacity far ahead than his class. Students should be given liberty to educate themselves from any school, class or university. Online courses give that scope to students; they ca

" # Task Given By Dr. Dilip Barad.  # Essential Questions:   Can Technology replace a teacher?  Is this technology sophisticated enough to teach children, even when they are sitting at home?

                                                                           “ Why Technology?” 21 st century is the age of Information and Knowledge. Rapid flow of information is provided by internet. At the same time one has to be very keen in choosing right and appropriate information. Knowledge is the blessing for human being. One should be 'Life Long Learner' in order to acquire knowledge.   Technology has enhanced in such a way that it becomes the integral part of day-today life. One should not imagine himself without use of technology. Starting from mobile to laptop, car to airplane, medicine to operation. One can be outsider and aloof from present digital world if he lacks the digital and technological skills.   Use of technology in the classroom is worth implementation. Which supports the active learning. It facilitates the learning of students on their own. It sustains the attention of students and also makes them active, creative, curious a

Where you able to feel it while reading the text? 'Menace' means violence or feeling of insecurity or uncertainty. which establishes strong connection between audience and character's predicament. movie is quite successful in giving us the effect of menace. It can be visible in Pinter's ability to drop suddenly from high comic level to one of deep seriousness. we feel the atmosphere of violence when two strangers encroached the space of stanley and beat him very cruelly, when stanley attacks on Lulu. all these scenes arouse the feeling of menace. 3)     Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Where you able to feel the same while reading the

This Blog is a part of my academic activity, Task given by Dr. Dilip Barad on the Play "Waiting for Godot" Click here for the link of the task My interpretations of the points are as follow. 1) The tree is the only important ‘thing’ in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett grow a few leaves in Act II on the barren tree - The tree has four or five leaves - ?     Ans:  This play marks the profound influence of World war 2. so setting is full of broken images. But 'Tree' is only important thing in the setting. It describes the Nature and Universe. It remains indifferent or unaffected from the actions and deeds of human beings. Estragon and vladimir are constantly waiting for Godot. They have done useless things while waiting. But it changes nothing in Universe. The cycle of Nature goes on without caring for Human deeds.      2)  The director feels the setting with some debris. Can you read any meaning in th
