Learning through interactive gadgets in schools is as much fun as watching a favorite movie or a music video. Due to new and advanced technology, the standard of teaching and learning has changed a lot. Now a days teaching and learning in schools with electronic gadgets is a bit challenging for teachers and students. Making use of electronic gadgets in the classrooms such as iPods, Smart Board, digital electronic devices, Tablet PC and so on, satisfies the growing standards of technology and prepares the students for their further life.

These electronic gadgets make the students think beyond their books and explore the learning matter as much as they can. Introduction of gadgets in schools will change the entire scenario of teaching and its effect will be beyond the teacher’s expectations. It also helps the students to learn from the gadgets and enhance their learning skills. Today, most of the school systems have technology standards that all students must attain through their education. It helps the students to explore and possess the knowledge needed for the entire academic year. Electronic gadgets are not only useful for the students but they are also helpful for the teaching staff. The teachers have to be given proper training to use these advanced gadgets to teach the students in an effective way.

Learning from the Tablet PC is easy and can be practiced at home. Children are the best users and can deal with all the aspects of the Tablet PC. It is easy, portable and convenient to use.

As the society is becoming more and more technologically advanced, education systems have to keep up with the trend and equip students with better preparation for life outside the school.

My Country – India

- by Aishwarya R. Goriwale – VI B

India makes me proud,

I’d like to shout aloud,

“India is mine.”

It is beautiful, wonderful and fine.

Here there is lots of love, lots of joy,

Lots of respect and lots of smile.

I wonder how many people live here,

While wandering here and there.

I know my wishes will be answered here,

Without any loss or fear.

As I have told you before,

One thing I am perfectly sure,

“India is mine.”

It is beautiful, wonderful and fine.

The Girl in the Red Hoodie

- by Agasti Deshpande - VIII B

There was a girl named Abigail also known as Abby. She was 17 years old. Her family had just shifted to New Orleans from Minnesota after her father’s transfer. She didn’t make any friends over here because she was feeling quite lonely as she was missing her friends.

A few weeks later her father and mother were told to do the night-shift, because of that she started to feel even more lonely. At night, she used to complete all her homework and then she just used to lie on the bed doing nothing.

One day as she went to sleep, she heard a sharp bangingof vessels coming from the kitchen. She quickly took her baseball bat and slowly started crawling down stairs to the kitchen.Just as she got inside the kitchen she heard a frightened voice, “Please don’t hurt me. I am very hungry, the backdoor was open and I just came to look for food.”,the voice said.

As Abby looked behind the fridge she saw a little girl, wearing a red hoodie sweater. ‘She must be an orphan,’ Abigail thought. “What is your name?”she asked. “Evelyn”, the girl answered. Abigail reached for the fruit basket and took out a fresh apple from it. “Take it”, she said. Then Evelyn ate it. She thanked Abby. She said that she could also call her Eve.

Abby told her that she could come to her house whenever she wanted. They became good friends. Every night she used to come to her house. They used to talk with each other and as they talked, eventually Abby went to sleep without realizing.

One day her Mom came home earlier than usual. She heard Abby talking to someone. She slowly went upstairs and she was so shocked by what she saw that she lost consciousness.

The next day when Abby woke up she saw that her Mom and Dad were not at home.She didn’t mind it and thought that they had gone to work and she made her lunch and went to her college. When she returned from college, she saw that her parents were still at home. She asked them, “Oh, hey there. I thought that you were in office.”

Her Mom told her to sit with her for some time for she wanted to talk with her about something. She asked her who was in her room the previous night? Abby said that she was her friend named Evelyn. She used to come to their house every night to spend time with her.

Her Mom told her that yesterday night she had heard them talking and when she had come to check she had seen that Abby was talking to a skeleton. Abby was shocked by her Mom’s words. Her Mom gave her a long piece of thread and a needle and told that the next time when Eve came she should tie the thread to her hoodie and the other end to her finger so that when she wouldleave the room the thread would follow her wherever she went.

Her parents again reminded her what to do and then, they went to their office. The night arrived and just as usual Eve came to her house. Without forgetting Abby tied the string to Eve’s hoodie. The night went by. The morning arrived. Abby woke up to see her parents sitting on her bed. They asked her if she had done as planned. They followed that string. It went from the bedroom to the corridor, to the stairs and eventually to the kitchen. What they found suspicious was that the string went straight through a wall in the kitchen.

Abby’s Mom and Dad called some men to break the wall. The men started breaking the wall. Brick by brick the wall began to collapse. The wall seemed to have multiple layers. As they got through the second wall, the third wall automatically collapsed by itself and with the concrete, bones began to fall.

As the men cleared the dust and the bones they found a red coloured hoodie with a note sticking out of its pocket saying- ‘Thank you Abigail, for showing kindness to me’- Evelyn.

My Mother

- by Mrs.Yeshashree.Shirodkar

Only my mother only one and one mother ,

An ocean of endless love ,

An Emblem of encouraging ideas ,

With all the wordly goodness perfectly moulded in her ,

An ideal of worship was she.

Only my mother only one and one mother ,

Would give me a slight grim glance ,

For any mischief done by me.

But with in a fraction of seconds ,

Her heart would melt -

Seeing my tearful eyes.

Before my tears would dry ,

I would find myself ,​​

Tightly enclosed in her arms.

Only my mother only one and one mother ,

Hurting myself ,

Would make her feel the pain ,

Then a shower of soothing words follow ,

As my pain reliever.

Only my mother only one and one mother ,

What a wonder was she ,

Always Hilarious ,

With a never fading freshness.

When I had fallen sick ,

Had made my only mother ,

To fight with the creator of the Universe ,

With her constant prayers ,

To drive my sickness away.

Only my mother only one and one mother ,

Where shall I find you ?

Amidst the shining stars ,

Spread over the endless sky ,

OR

Among the rainbow colours.​​

Only my mother only one and one mother ,

But remain in my heart ,

Till my last breath .

मला बाहेरच्या जगात यायचय!

 

किती शांत वाटतय इथे.

आई, मी तरंगतॊय, बागडतो, नाचतोय तुझ्या सहवासात.

मी इथे खुप खूष आहे, आनंदात आहे.

एक सांगू, रागाऊ नकॊस हं!

मला इथेच रहायचय, बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

मी एकलय, बाहेर धर्म नावाचा प्रकार आहे.

*आता मी एक छोटासा जीव आहे पण जन्म घेताच हिंदू, मुस्लिम, ख्रिश्चन यात माझी विभागणी केली जाईल.

मला स्वत:ला नाही विभागायचयं

मला इथेच रहायचय, बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

* बाहेर दहशतवाद, आतंकवाद खुप वाढलाय असं मी एकलय.

निर्दोशांना मारलं जातय, गोळ्या झाडल्या जातायत.

मला रक्ताच्या थारोळ्यात नाही पडायचयं

मला इथेच रहायचय, बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

*स्वाइनफ्लू, इबोला, झिका अश्या काहितरी कठिण नावाचे रोग येऊ लागलेत.

जगात ब-याच लोकांनी त्यामुळे आपले जीव गमावलेत.

तुझ्या गर्भात असताना मला ही कुठलीच बाधा होणार नाही.

कारण मला माहीतीय तु मला या सर्वांपासून सुरक्षित ठेवशील.

म्हणूनच मला इथे रहायचय, बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

* मी एकलय बाहेरच्या जगात सगळेच शर्यतीच्या घोड्यासारखे पळतात.

काही घोडे अंतिम रेषेपर्यंत पोहोचतात तर काही घोडे यशाच्या शोधात आयुष्यभर पळतच रहातात.

अगं मला तर अजुन चालताही येत नाही आणि या शर्यतीत उतरायची माझी ईच्छा ही नाही.

माझ्या या छोट्याश्या भावविश्वात तरंगायलाच मला आवडतय.

ए आई, मला इथे रहायचय, बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

* ९०%, ९५% या चक्रव्युहात मला नाही फसायचयं

मला बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

* गाड्यांच्या धुरात, ट्रेनच्या गर्दीत नाही अड्कायचयं

मला बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

* आई तुझ्या कुशीतच मला वाढायचयं

मला बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

मोठं झाल्यावर नोकरीसाठी वणवण करत नाही भटकायचयं

मला बाहेर नाही यायचयं...............

एक मिनीट, एक मिनीट..........................

मी एक गोष्ट विसरतोय..............

तु, बाबा, आजी, आजोबा सगळेच माझ्या येण्याची किती आतुरतेने वाट पाहताय आणि तुम्ही सगळे आहातच मला सांभाळायला, मग चिंता कसली.

या जगात येऊन मला ही नाव कमवायचय, तुमच नाव मोठ करायचयं.

छत्रपती शिवाजी व्हायचयं, ए.पी.जे अब्दूल कलाम व्हायचयं, आर्यभट्ट, राजा अशोक व्हायचयं.

यातलं काही होता नाही आलं तरी चालेल पण निदान एक चांगल माणूस तरी व्हायचयं.

आई, मला बाहेरच्या जगात यायचयं

मला बाहेरच्या जगात यायचयं

सुजाण पालकत्व २०१७-१८

पालकवर्ग : इयत्ता ८ वी

वयात येणा-या मुलांच्या रोजच्या वागण्या-बोलण्यात होणारे बदल, आक्रमक वृती, बंडखोरपणा यामुळे पालक थोडे संभ्रमावस्थेत असतात. अशावेळी मुलांशी असलेले आपले मायेचे नाते जपण्याविषयी, एकमेकांना समजून घेण्याविषयी पालकांना मार्गदर्शन केले तर मुलांची जडणघड्ण योग्य प्रकारे होईलच, त्याबरोबर कुटुंबाचे स्वास्थ्यही टिकून राहील या हेतूने दहिसर येथील विदया प्रसारक मंडळ पालकांना मार्गदर्शन करणारा 'सुजाण पालकत्व' हा उपक्रम गेली १५ वर्षे यशस्वीपणे राबवीत आहे. कै. विजय ठाकूर स्मृतिनिधीद्वारे ह्या उपक्रमाला अर्थसाहाय्य करण्यात येते.

मानसोपचार क्षेत्रामध्ये देशभरात तसेच आंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तरावर ख्यातनाम असलेले डॉ. हरीश शेट्टी यानी यावर्षी इयत्ता ८ वी च्या मुलांच्या पालकांशी संवाद साधून फार मोलाचे मार्गदर्शन केले. मुलांच्या वर्तणुकीतील समस्या, व्यसनाधीनता यासारख्या गंभीर विषयांवर हसत खेळत संवाद साधल्याने पालकांच्या मनावरील ताणही काहींसा हलका झाला, निश्चितच!

Importance of Sports

- by Anjali Umesh Kulkarni IV-A

Games keep us active and healthy. They are good for our blood circulation, digestion and keep our brain healthy and active. They improve our muscular system. They give shape to our body and sharpen our mind.

There are two types of games, one is indoor games and the other is outdoor game. Indoor games are chess, carrom, table tennis etc., outdoor games include cricket, kabaddi, kho kho, hockey etc.

Games are an important part of education. Every game is played with certain rule which teaches us importance of discipline. Cooperation, team spirit and tolerance.

People who are good in sports also exhibit a lifestyle of great quality. They are more active in their day to day life and can take better decisions as a result of their balanced mental development. Not encouraging your children to participate in sports activities can make them inactive and grumpy as they turn into adults.

Games played internationally help us to have cordial relationship and great bonding with people of difference countries.

StudentSpeak - Importance of sports in our life

Hello everyone

My name is Avani Bhushan Rane. I am studying in 4th std

Today I am going to speak about sport

How sports are important in our life.

     Sports and games are activities which makes a person more capable with high level efficiency. Sports activities are very necessary for all especially children and youths, as it stimulates the physical and mental growth.  It improves memory level, concentration level and learning capacity of the children.

It makes a person with the mental and physical toughness by shaping the body and mind and removing tiredness. It improves blood circulation. It develops the habit of working team by developing the sense of friendliness among the team members.

      Children should participate in all the sports competition national as well as international. You can do physical exercises or play games at sport clubs, you can swim in swimming pools, play games on playgrounds.

       I think every season is good for sport. In summer, late spring and early autumn you can play outdoor games. You can play Indoor games all year round.

Variety of sports activities brings a lot of positive opportunities for us. There are various problems also occur however they do not matter.

       Sports are the way to big achievement in the children's life however depends on their active involvement and experiences they already have.

Getting interested in any of the sport gives a worldwide identification and life- long achievement.

        Thank you.
