Smart desks in classrooms! the future of schools?

Smart tables or smart desks are the new trend in education after the interactive whiteboards have had their chance in classrooms. They are a great way to connect users to each other and to learning and motivate them to collaborate and work as a member of a team. The multi touch, multi-user interactive desks are mainly used for primary education but we are certain they will find their way to more applications in the near future. Students are developing skills like never before in an engaging environment with ready made activities that are easily customised. Do you think that technology has made learning easier and more effective? Would you like it if you were a student in a classroom that uses a smart table?

Never, Ever give up. Arthur's Inspirational Transformation

Arthur Boorman, a disabled veteran of the Gulf War, was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own. Until one day he read an article about Diamont Dallas Yoga and he decided to give it a try. He couldn't do traditional exercise so he tried yoga and wrote an email to Dallas telling him his story. Dallas was so moved that he started emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur encouraging him to keep going and believe that anything is possible. His story is a proof that there are no limits on what we are capable of and we often don't know our own potential. How did the story make you feel? Do you have a similar experience that you want to share?

Poor us. An animated history.

Be thankful for what you have

There are times in your life when you say that you can't do something and you feel disappointed and you keep on concentrating on the things that you wish you had and on the things that you wish that you  didn't have. But most of the times we don;t realise that what we have and what we need are right next to where we are and we are so blind to see the people we love and the things we do that when we lose them we come to the point to appreciate them. So we have to be thankful for what you have and hope that life will be nice to you and to the people you love. We are all just passing by, traveling in a huge bubble called earth in the middle of the universe, and no one will tell you why we are here for and what is the purpose of everything you see and feel. You have to search deep inside and believe in yourself, dream big and never give up!
