We are evolving towards the age of collaboration. Knowledge and information have the unique distinction of being both the medium and the message in this process. Spreading and freely sharing knowledge, rather than possessively hoarding it, is empowering the teaching – learner community as a whole.
Each stakeholder is a repository of experience and knowledge of his or her domain. Knowledge Networks is a platform to enable pooling in these individual nuggets, to form a bank of resources which is available for the entire community. By connecting pockets of excellence in education, we will provide recognition and appreciation to the nameless and faceless educators who strive to impart better education within their own circles of influence. Each one of them can therefore widen their own circle, sharing their unique ideas and successful methodologies with others similarly engaged.
The idea is that resources need not necessarily come, with a cost, in the form of books or technological teaching aids. Nor must they be painstakingly obtained through time consuming research on the internet. Collaboration with other teachers and experts through Knowledge Networks Discussion Forum and Knowledge Networks Wiki would help in getting your queries answered, getting new ideas, and share resources such as teaching aids and exercises with each other. To encourage this spirit of collaboration, we want Knowledge Networks to have an informal, inviting and open environment.
At the same time, the Knowledge Networks team and panel of experts will keep you constantly updated with the latest news, technological innovations and all other developments in the world of education. The site will bring you regular updates on the latest trends, issues, innovations, and challenges in education. It will bring together a panel of eminent local educationalists as well as linking with the current global thoughts and best practices. Our content will interest the complete spectrum of the learning community, from student to parent to teacher to administrator. |
