Oracle Education Foundation launched its program in India at KV Malleswaram where I was the Principal. KVS was its partner in India. Those initial days it was known as Think.Com. Teachers like Ms Kamal Peter excelled in this tool and they integrated the same in to their teaching learning process. It was a small beginning and turned out to be a big celebration for both teachers and students. KVs were the first to adopt and encourage this program.
Later it took the avatar of ThinkQuest.org. Project based learning became popular among the teachers. OEF has got the full time support of Ms Kamal Peter There was no looking back. OEF trained the teachers in countries like US and Singapore. Many were trained as Master trainers. Many Excellent projects were born in different parts of the country. Many competitions and programs were planned and executed by Ms Kamal. Dr Kasturirangan, Dr.C.N.R.Rao, Dr.Madhavan Nair, and many scientists from Raman Research Institutes were involved in her programes. International Year of Chemistry celebrations concluded with Dr.APJ Abdulkalamji interacting with the students of different schools of Bangalore.
ThinkQuest international competition was a centre of attraction for both teachers and students.BGS NPS was one among the top 10 schools who produced maximum number of projects. But the news of discontinuation of Thinkquest programe made us very sad. The enthusiasm came down with a question mark." WHY ?"
Ms Kamal was there to answer .."ALICE...ALICE".
It was on 18th of August 2012 , The training started at 8.45 am by Ms Kamal Peter and was assisted by Ms Madurya. Along with the teachers there were 5 students also . It was a different tool and everybody was eager to learn. Ms Kamal being a born teacher makes it a point - how to integrate the same in their class rooms. At the end of the day, teachers realised that again it is a good initiative by Oracle Academy. One will enjoy this programme if properly understood and implemented.
Thanks to Oracle Academy.
