Thanks so much....educational content by students for students! Yes..yes! do lets take this forward. 1.Shall i provide a link to this page on every local tamilnadu site? 2.What is the font being used?. Please provide a "download font" option for those who dont have the correct fonts. 3.The lessons (9th math..lesson "graph- straight line (Tamil))is not in Tamil...this needs to be replaced by it tamil version. 4.Some of the slides (10th slide etc) in the first lesson (i think) are not in the same font ( hence appears as gibberish) 5.It will be great if the content (in time) can be catergorized and used in the rural schools(where ever we have put in the internet connectivity) and at all our kiosks. 6.Is it possible at a later stage to load this content at the local servers, as it will be faster and easier for them to download.(we could discuss this at a later stage with the technical staf) I will test it at a few kiosks and get back to you with feedback Thank you, Warm regards asha sanjay -----Original Message----- From: Lakshmi Suryanarayanan [mailto:surlak@vsnl.net] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 8:01 PM To: Lakshmi Suryanarayanan; Asha Sanjay Cc: Elizabeth Alexander Subject: RE: TAL Dear Asha, If we click Tamil for the graph we get the Tamil version. lakshmi -----Original Message----- From: Lakshmi Suryanarayanan [mailto:surlak@vsnl.net] Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 7:48 PM To: Asha Sanjay Cc: Elizabeth Alexander Subject: RE: TAL Dear Asha, Yes I noticed the slide 10 and 11 in Std 3 lesson. We have rectified it today. we will upload the correct versions next saturday. This whole item is font free. We do not need any fonts. I shall get the lesson changed from tamil to English and also upload the atamil version. This could be one way of getting people non Tamil people to understand what we are doing. These lessons are being made by very young ex students less than 20 year olds under guidance chiefly from me. I have a cd of 48 lessons right now. We could talk about it over phone if you want more details. Call me on 9841091424.

It was really amazing and iam really surprised to see so much of creative work on the CD. I am very sure that this cd will be helpful and will be a visual and intellectual treat for the students.All the information are given with easy and simple visuals which can be grasped easily by the students without any hinderance.
