Once there was a man who was filthy rich. When it came to get married and settling down, he started looking for a bride and shortlisted three women. He gave them Rs 5 lakhs each and asked them to spend it in the way they like.
The first woman spent it on herself and bought nice dresses to impress the man
The second woman bought gifts for the man and also donated some of the money to a charity
But the third woman invested the money and gave him Rs 8 lakhs back
You know which woman did he choose? He chose the one who looked the most beautiful! (Men will be men!) The guy was filthy rich, so he could compromise on many aspects. But not all of us have that luxury. No one wants to marry the wrong person and yet so many people do.
A sound person would have rejected them all. The reason is simple. In order to have a happy and successful marriage, balance is required. You would need a partner whom you find attractive, who knows how to handle money, and who is good at heart. Having only one quality just won’t do the trick. If you already have someone in mind (read heart), then we have seven things which you should ask your partner before you pop up the big question!
1. Future Plans
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
The most clichéd HR round question is one of the best questions to get to know if you two have a future together or not. Just don’t sound like an HR and ask her normally about her future plans. Here, you would want to see if you two fit in together and if you two can take your lives forward in a similar direction after marriage.
Things won’t work if your plans are to move ahead in your career and devote most of your time there and she is a ‘take-it-easy’ kind of a woman who wants the two of you go backpacking every weekend. Make sure you two are on the similar page in the chapter of future.
2. Hobbies
HR cliché number two! But definitely one of the most important things to ask your ‘would-be’ partner. It’s important because she’ll be the person with whom you’ll be spending a lot of time. Every second after office and parties, you’ll be with her. So, it’s important that you enjoy her company.
If you take a book nerd to a bungee jumping date, neither of you will enjoy it. It’s better to know what interests her and see if you like it too. Just make sure that there are at least a few things which you both can enjoy when you’re together.
3. Do You Want God?
Although knowing religious views are also important, but here we are talking about tiny creatures that are often referred to as God – ‘Children’. It’s extremely important to know where you two stand when it comes to parenthood. If you’re fond of children and she prefers to rather adopt a dog, then you two would have problems in the long run.
Children are a lot of responsibility, and you would have to sacrifice your time, money and a little bit of a career in order to raise one. So, make sure you two want the same thing when it comes to children.
4. Loans and Debts
You most certainly don’t want any surprises here. The financial situation should be honestly brought on the table before you two tie a knot. Don’t say yes just seeing the IIM tag, make sure you’re aware of the education loan your partner took to get this tag. While you’re discussing it, try to know your partner’s plans to repay the loan. This will tell you how well planned your partner is and if at s/he is good at managing money. Killing two birds with one question!
5. Investing Plans
Between a saver and an investor, choose the latter one. Ask your partner her opinions on the utilisation of extra income. If she says it should go into mutual funds and term insurance plans, then she’s the one! Mutual fund would mean she’s a planner and term insurance would mean she is a responsible person who knows how to take care of her family. Both the qualities are the sign of a great partner.
6. Can I Buy You A Drink?
Know your partner’s preference on alcohol, smoking, and drugs. Let her know if you intake any, and how much. When you come home after a hard-long day, you wouldn’t want a partner whining about the glass of whiskey in your hand or vice versa. So, ask your partner beforehand if s/he gets high on life or something extra is needed. It won’t be a deal breaker for most, but there are some who can’t stand alcohol or smoking. So, asking never hurts.
7. The Mom You Never Had (And Might Not Want)
Ask questions about the upbringing of your partner. Try to figure out how much interference does her family have on her personal life. We are saying this because maybe you grew up in an environment where your parents gave you all the freedom, and you’re used to of taking your own decisions. And maybe your ‘would-be’ wife never even went to market without informing her parents. This different mindset may cause problems in the long run as she’s not used to of living independently and might include her or your family in every decision after marriage, which you might not like. Clear the stand, before you take a stand on the marriage.
We know it’s a lot of checkboxes but if you two are compatible on the above seven fronts, then congratulations! It’s a match made in heaven.

According to the Lunar calendar which has its months from one Amavasyahya ( No moon day) to another, Lord Ganesha comes to earth on Chavati that is the fourth day of Bhadra (month) and returns to Kailash Parvath on Chaturdashi i.e 14th day. This according to English calendar is falls in August or September. These 10 days are celebrated grandly with huge festivities by his devotees.
The day Ganesha arrives is marked by placing his idol inside an elaborately decorated stage. The idol is taken to the mandap with the playing of dhol, music, and dance. In these 10 days, Ganesha is served with various food preparation and especially sweets like modak, ladoo and puran, poli which are his favorite.
On the third day, the idol of Ma Gauri is placed beside besides Ganesha marking the arrival of her as it is said that Ma Gauri visits every place Lord Ganesha visits. A day before the visarjan Satyanarayan pooja is conducted. On the 10th day, the day the Lord returns to his parents on Kailash Parvath. This is marked by processing the idol of Ganesha to nearby waterbody where it is immersed and is dissolved.
The idol is made with haldi (turmeric), clay, Plaster of Paris and some make it with food like chocolate or fondant etc. The height and design is choice of the devotees. In recent years people have been more inclined towards clay made idol since it is easily dissolvable while POP does not and is also eco-friendly.
Usually, the idols are brought into the houses of devotees who wish to, but soon people came together and placed it in a pandal.
When the Marathas were at war with the Mughals in the 1600’s, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj sponsored the event. People came together as a family and celebrated with utmost devotion. It brought them the boost required in their lives.
This tradition was revived by Lokmany Tilak in the 19th century when the British government banned public gatherings. Ganesh Chaturthi has thus been marked as a sign of unity among the masses then and even now.
This festival has been celebrated in large scale in Mumbai since ages.
Each city, area, and lanes has its own Idol which is brought either at night or in the morning. The processions are huge and held in a massive scale with dhol, music, lightenings with extraordinarily decorated rath. The whole scenario has a theatrical effect but the happiness of Ganesha arriving can be seen on everyone’s face. People have pandal hopping where they visit all the possible pandals nearby.
Lal Bag Cha Raja is one of the most famous pandals.
He is decorated with real gold and huge donations are made here. The modak presented to the Lord the biggest one is placed for bidding and get sold for a huge price. The tradition of placing huge Idols have spread to various cities in India and people following this tradition in various places around the world.
The sthapana of Lord Ganesha happens according to the timing given by Pandit which changes every year.
The pandal where the idol is placed is decorated in a specific theme. The whole set up is eye-catching and mesmerizing.
After the sthapana and the naivadeyam placed in front of Ganesha aarti is given to him.
Aarti is given thrice a day.
Then from place to place the activities change, usually, the afternoons are filled with competitions and evenings with dance and drama. Blood donations, free medical check up are also observed in some places.
People make deities favorite food and place it in front of him, along with fruits and flowers and after the aarti, it is distributed among themselves.
On the 10th or the 9th day according to when the Chaturdashi falls, Ganesha is carried to the nearest sea, river or lake.
The procession toward the lake is equally grand with people chanting “Ganpati Bappa Moraya, Pudacha Varashi Lavkar Ya”.
In India, Law has dependably been viewed as an honorable and respectable profession.The underlying foundations of our nation has been crafted by some well known legal advisors including, Mahatma Gandhi, Madan Mohan Malviya, Dadabhai Naoroji, Motilal Nehru and others. These incredible attorneys provided legal counsel as well as influenced enormous commitments in the National flexibility to battle. The legal counselors at that point and the attorneys presently have dependably been fastidiously helping in directing the legitimate arrangement of our nation. The legal advisors encourage the general public and guarantee that the law is function properly. They bolster individuals from the general public by speaking to them in cases, by documenting PILs, by giving them reasonable lawful counsel on issues looked for by the customers, and above all to enable the customer to get equity. The truth that a man is a piece of the legitimate framework influences alternate individuals to regard him. This shows what a respectable calling ‘Law’ is. This paper endeavors to list down and break down the reasons why the law is an honorable calling. The reasons are as per the following:
Assorted variety IN CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
The people require legal counselors to escape inconvenience, to speak to them in lawful procedures and to guarantee that the rules that everyone must follow are appropriately actualized and the legal advisors need to perform such administrations for work and to help make redresses in the societal conduct. The reason a profession in law is so recommendable and common is that of its assorted variety. An understudy seeking after law can take up the accompanying vocations with a graduate degree. The accessible open doors in the legitimate field are as per the following:
A legal advisor is otherwise called a lawyer or advocate in a few sections of the world. The principal elements of an attorney is to contest, to give administration to the customers, to prompt the customers on issues looked for by them, to speak to the customers whether indictment or safeguard in the two preliminaries and in addition re-appraising courts.
A legal advisor can perform paralegal capacities, for example, drafting of court archives, drafting authoritative records, perform lawful research and to help the senior insight with whatever they require every once in a while.
Consistency examiner- The primary capacity of such an expert is to guarantee great administration, hazard administration and consistency of the organization or firm they work for with the rules that everyone must follow. They should guarantee that the organization’s arrangements, principles, and local laws are as per the constitution and other lawful statutes of the nation.
Judge-A legal counselor, can without a doubt go into this area. They can turn into a Judge or a Magistrate. They can utilize this situation to guarantee that the debate is settled quickly and in agreement to standards of common equity, they manage all the court procedures and are enabled to give decisions for the meriting party in a question.
Stenographer-He is a court columnist, who sits in the court and helps the Judges. They need to make a note of each word talked amid a procedure. They translate the legitimate procedures in court and each other after viewpoint until the finish of a question.
Another magnificent vocation choice for law graduates is to held for civil post. They can, by clearing the UPSC exams, end up government employees and help in compelling organization and administration of the nation.
Others-There are numerous different vocations accessible to a law understudy, for example, a legal master, law office executive, in-house advise, court assistant, law educator, Legal profession instructor, Dean of a graduate school, suit bolster proficient, lawful investigator, struggle expert, and so on.
Impacting HUMAN Behavior
As individuals from the lawful framework, we need to comprehend the fundamental goal of the law, which is to control and impact human conduct. Today, we have laws for everything, from significant wrongdoings to basic things like development of streets. We have laws that are of common, criminal and established nature. These laws, at last, go for directing the conduct of the individuals from the general public. Since the laws confine the greater part of the wrong exercises, people, subsequently, turn out to be more dutiful. For example, more individuals wear protective caps while riding, since it has been punished by the law. This has adjusted their conduct. Law guarantees that individuals are more mindful. For instance, we have laws that boycott liquor utilization or laws that force an obligation to tend to the earth, people in general and one’s neighbors. This makes the subject more capable. Subsequently, the legal advisors are in a roundabout way helping the general population to alter their conduct. The legal counselors help remedy wrong conduct by rebuffing the individuals who foul up exercises.
Esteem
We as a whole realize that law is a respectable and lofty calling, however, have we at any point asked why? The reason is straightforward. It is on the grounds that an expansive number of individuals rely upon the legal advisors to acquire reasonableness, value, and equity. They need to complete their graduation, pass an All India Bar examination and at exactly that point would they be able to begin practicing in courts. Law is a standout amongst the most decent callings as a result of the power, renown, and nobility connected to this position. Legal advisors put behind their self-intrigue and work toward the improvement of their customer. The legal counselors tirelessly progress in the direction of helping their customer get equity and to rebuff the transgressors. The judges, comparably, work in an unassuming and tenacious way to find out which party is correct and which isn’t right. They give judgment in such a way as to rebuff the transgressor yet additionally to adjust for the casualties’ misfortune. They put in a great deal of exertion for the same and have all the ability to settle on suitable choices. As a result of this unhindered power, they are viewed as lofty.
HELP CHANGE THE WORLD
Legal counselors are in a one of a kind position to encourage people, gatherings, and associations to manage their legitimate issue and to guarantee that they assist them with obtaining equity, value, and reasonableness in the given conditions. We can state, with no dithering that legal counselors help change the world-One individual at any given moment. Helping the general population around the globe resembles helping the world, also, changing the conduct of individuals around the globe establishes what is changing the world. Legal counselors can help change the world by aiding and speaking to the powerless areas of the general public. They can help speak to the casualties of youngster work, constrained work, trafficking, residential manhandle, elderly, deserted, and some other gatherings of individuals who are not in a psychological or financial position to voice their feelings and concerns.
Chance TO WORK WITH AND REPRESENT FAMOUS PEOPLE AND BUILD ONE’S OWN NETWORK
In spite of the fact that this probably won’t happen toward the start of a lawful vocation, with possible profession development and achievement, the odds to work with imperative identities and renowned individuals increments. For example, an effective Cyber legal counselor may get an opportunity to work with CEO of IT organizations, for example, Salil Parekh, Mukesh Ambani, Anil Ambani, Jong-Kyun Shin, Bill Gates, Tim Cook, and so on. On the off chance that they are working for the Media Industry, they can work with renowned individuals, for example, artists, on-screen characters and acclaimed chiefs of motion pictures. On the off chance that they are working for the Government, they can work with the clergymen of different divisions, for example, Ministry of protection, Telecommunication, Health, Law, and equity, Etc. The more achievement a legal advisor gets in his profession, the more is his odds to speak to well-known individuals. It is an incredible pride for a legal counselor to speak to such extraordinary individuals. We as a whole need to in the long run need to be around the most elite in the nation or world. Along these lines, legal advisors can be around such celebrated and moving individuals amid the case and have the pleasure to speak to them too. Working with such individuals helps manufacture one’s system in the lawful field.
THE PROFESSION IS VERY CHALLENGING
The legitimate field is extremely challenging for both the legal counselors and in addition paralegal selected. They need to manage the testing issues of the general public, legitimate thinking of such issues and give an unmistakable picture of what the position is to the customers. The legal counselors need to examine every reality of the case in a well-ordered way with the goal that they are completely mindful of the actualities and conditions under which the occurrence happened, and along these lines can speak to the customer in a court continuing. Legal advisors have numerous difficulties to face, for example, compelling customer administration, dissecting and understanding the actualities and conditions of the case, monitoring the cases still in question, staying aware of the certainties of the case as they can change from every day in one case itself, staying aware of the innovation utilized in present-day legitimate frameworks, and so forth. The individuals from the legitimate framework, by virtue of illuminating and taking care of such difficult issues, normally can tackle and manage any sort of issues.
Chance TO EXPLORE WITHIN THE LEGAL FIELD
A honing legal advisor can work with a wide assortment of settings and endeavors. They may, in their inital years in the wake of moving on from graduate school utilize their opportunity to investigate different open doors previously they aimlessly settle onto one. They can change from case to corporate work, from considerate to criminal to protected territories of training, they can experiment with different positions in a corporate-like consistence administrator, legitimate examiner, lawful consultant, peace promoter, and so forth., they can change their decision of routine with regards to law or field of training itself. For example, they can join the legal, join the official part of the administration, join governmental jobs and the lawmaking body, and so forth. The reason attorneys are so adaptable is that there is no intricacy in the progress procedure. They can unreservedly move to start with one vocation opportunity then onto the next or even trial under a similar profession opportunity. This is a standout amongst the most favorable parts of a lawful calling as it doesn’t make the activity tedious and there is a degree to test.
Regard AND ESTEEM ATTACHED TO THIS PROFESSION
Legal counselors are turned upward to in many nations. They are the most exceedingly regarded pack of experts in the general public. Individuals regard legal advisors and those in the legitimate calling for the most part since they have unlimited capacity to spare and help the general population of the nation. They are regarded for the manner in which they convey themselves, for the manner in which they lead in courts, for their uniform style and for the broad vocabulary they use in their normal court correspondence and legitimate documentation. They are regarded on the grounds that they manage reality and maintain esteems, for example, equity, value, reasonableness in the general public. This is an alternate sort of regard related with just the lawful calling and is of such a nature, to the point that nobody can put a cost on it. Indeed, even those legal advisors who have originated from lower or white collar class foundations are treated with massive regard and nobility once they involve a situation in the legitimate framework. Nobody powers people in general to regard the legal advisors, judges, justices, and so on. Such a regard, to the point that they get is earned because of the honorability of their calling and not because of the inconvenience of any run the show.
THE AMOUNT OF TRAVEL INVOLVED
A lawyers’ work is not any more than a 9-5 work job work as it used to be some time ago. These days, legitimate occupations include a ton of voyaging. Voyaging can be inside the city, between two urban communities, inside the nation or notwithstanding voyaging abroad as the conditions may request. For example, an attorney needs to go to the Sessions court, district court and High court for a specific case. In the event of an interest, he may need go to the Supreme Court of India. If there should be an occurrence of International law cases, they need to go to the nation of the gathering included. Some of the time amid assertions, they may need to visit another nation to agreeably settle the debate. A legal advisor needs to set out starting with one office then onto the next, starting with one chamber then onto the next and starting with one court then onto the next. Other than this, attorneys travel around the state, around the nation or even to outside nations in view of the realities and conditions of the case.
THE REMUNERATION ASPECT
In spite of the fact that cash isn’t the sole motivation to seek after any vocation, it can’t have stayed away from. Pay is by the day’s end our solitary wellspring of employment. We can’t just keep running behind what intrigues us and what we are energetic about without thinking about the money related angles. Gratefully, the legitimate field is an ideal mix of energy and pay. It is a fascinating and testing field, yet in addition, as well paying. In India, legal counselors working in the courts get paid a compensation in light of the kind of law they are rehearsing. A legal advisor is now and again called upon to play out the part of consultant or guide to assist customers with issues, for example, separate, connections among guardians and kids, drafting wills, drafting contracts and different issues. The general range in which the attorneys are paid in view of their specialization or field of training is Rs. 15,000-20,000 for a common attorney, Rs. 30,000-40,000 for a corporate legal advisor, Rs. 20,000-25,000 for a criminal legal advisor and around Rs. 20,000 for a separation legal counselor. This is for fresher’s who have recently graduated. The compensation of a rehearsing legal counselor is straightforwardly relative to his experience. Legal counselors have great acquiring potential, however, the compensation relies upon various factors, for example, area, encounter, Number of cases the firm is at present dealing with, and so forth.

‘The hearts continued beating as one, only now they did it with PRIDE.
’It was a mid-afternoon of September 6th when in Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India with a 5-0 verdict the Supreme Court decriminalised gay sex, contrary to the decision done by two-member bench in Suresh Kumar Koushal in 2013.
The Court felt that it violated the rights of LGBTQ persons to dignity, equality, privacy and expression. As the verdict was declared, a stream of happiness, and most importantly, freedom was felt among the thousands of supporters gathered outside the court, who’ve been waiting for this day, since a lifetime. This day was not only historic for the gay community, with the legalising of gay sex, it also marked coming out of a lot of people to their parents, in front of the national television. The passion and hunger for the judgement was such that many of the supporters bunked their college classes or offices, just to hear the verdict and were gathered outside the court. It was a much awaited day in the lives of the LGBTQ individuals, and finally, they too now have a right to live, as I would say!
But, is the equation in reality, as simple as it seems? Though the Supreme Court would’ve scrapped off Section 377, but was it able to do so with the mindset of the orthodox heterosexual individuals? This is the foremost area of concern now. And, if I see it, it’s clearly discriminatory against the gay community-they already waited a decade for this obvious judicial error to be rectified, and now, when they can finally breathe in the society and be proud of their identity, they have to be dealt with the pity mindset of the society, which proclaims and very boastly calls itself a part of 21st century, but is not yet ready to accept things that go against the nature’s rule.
Where is the compassion people, I ask?
The government can only bring a revolution to digitalize our technology, not our thinking. That is in our hands, and we are to act as liable citizens of the country and let the homosexuals individuals live in the society as its own part. I find referring them separately in the above text, a whole prejudice, why does it matter? What do I or someone else chose to be and call ourselves be an area of concern? Ultimately, we are all Humans, craving for perfection, when we should really be just the best version of ourselves.
To broaden the debate- How is someone’s sexual orientation, be prey to my opinion and judgement? I mean, there are people who would carry on their miserable marriage, just to avoid the boo hoo of divorce, but would not see two men or women be madly committed to each other. At least, they are happy, and shouldn’t this be the utmost area of concern, rather than the gender of the person they are in love with? I know and it’s very saddening to know that even though we allege to be open-minded and maybe we have accepted ripped jeans or be it the No Shave November movement, but still today, when it comes to topic of grave concern, we silence that open mind of ours and start thinking like our primate ancestor! A hell of an example of going back to the roots, I say!
We may be preaching ‘Netflix and chill, while following the fandom of FRIENDS or nowadays, 13 reasons why, but, when we are dealt with the social issues presented in the series, on a real-life basis, we refuse to show empathy. How is that you may be watching a hell number of English Frictional seriesof all sorts, but when it comes to your thinking it is still blocked by negative compassion for homosexuals individuals. If this is the result, then I gravely say that television entertainment has failed to create an impact on the young audience that is addicted to it. But, if we clearly, see the subtext, it all comes down to one’s own thoughts and sense of judgment. We refuse to change our mindset.
So what, someone choose to love a girl over men, who the hierarchy has placed at the top! Considering, the picture of today’s women’s safety, parents to the LGBTQ should be more than happy over their child’s choice of love interest. At least, there are chances that he/she will be alive and happy and the most important with someone, who would keep them safe, rather than just fake promising it, over the sacred fire, while taking those seven vows.
Heterosexual individuals don’t understand the pain, enigma that their counterpart homosexual’s mate goes through. I mean, to hide one’s feelings their whole lifetime, is difficult time to go through for anyone, while they are discovering themselves as it goes. It’s equivalent to the ancient rhetorical thinking of not wanting a girl child, only now it finds itself replaced with LGBTQ. It’s like as if our society wants something to always linger their hate upon. This just gives me a picture of a melodramatic reality TV episode where the mother-in-law would never be happy with her son’s bride, no matter what! Although, even this is also a issue of distress but for some other time.
Let’s now hope that our homosexuals mate can easily and freely live their life and be proud of their identity, sexual orientation and the discrimination against them can also be scrapped off from the minds of the conformist society, just like we did with the section 377!

In the past, school administration used to be a tedious process, which included tons of paperwork, countless human errors and a complete lack of communication. However, nowadays, schools can use modern software solutions in order to automate redundant tasks, eliminate human error and provide the overall school community to easy access to all the information that they need. Nonetheless, for a software solution to provide all these benefits, it needs to satisfy a few basic requirements. There are dozens of administration software solutions on the market, but the trick is to find the right one that can satisfy the specific needs of your school. Here’s what you need to consider when comparing different solutions:
1. Implementation
A good software should be easy to implement in order to provide an easy transition from the previous administration system. Our advice is to opt for an online solution, so that you don’t have to complicate yourself with hosting and maintenance issues. If you are already using a software solution and you want to change it, choose a system that offers you an extensive free trial. For example, Thinkwave is offering a 30-day trial period. If you are migrating from another system like Engrade, you can use the trial period to test and compare the two systems, and see which one works better for you. During the trial, you can upload all of your essential school data in the system. After the trial, if you want to continue with Thinkwave, all the data that you uploaded during the trial will be saved, and you can continue to use the system with a paid subscription.
2. Learning curve
A good school management system should have a smooth learning curve, so that the people who will be using it can easily adapt to it. The system should be intuitive enough in order to be used even by people with zero technical skills. Consider the fact that most of your school staff don’t have any programming skills, and you will want them to be able to understand how the system works, so that they can use them to full potential.
3. Suitable for the whole school community
The main purpose of a school administration system is to provide people with the right data in order to monitor and improve the overall school performance. This means that the right software solution should be used not only by the school staff, but also by students and by parents, as they too can actively contribute to improving the school’s performance. Students and parents should have easy access to their grades and attendance records. Teachers and students should be able to use the system to send assignments and other valuable educational content. Some software solutions even offer a blog feature, so that the school staff can keep the whole school community informed about the latest news, events, and school updates.
4. Customization
A good software solution should offer a wide range of preset cards and reports. However, it should also allow for customization, so that the school staff can easily generated customized transcripts and report cards. You should also consider opting for a system that allows you to combine multiple subterms for grades to generate yearly values. Some systems even allow for multiple grade scales for different courses of the same schools. This is very useful as teachers can use different grade systems for the elementary and the high school classes.
5. Data agnostic
First of all, for a good system to be able to help you improve the performance of your school, it needs to be able to store historical data. Secondly, it needs to have complex analytics features that allow you to process that data to generate performance reports. This is useful for the teachers, as it will help them generate automatic transcripts, but it is also useful for the school management team, who will be able to monitor the overall school performance.
6. Support
When working with computerized systems, you will be able to eliminate a lot of data errors. However, from time to time, you will encounter some technical difficulties. As such, you have two options. You can choose a hosted solution and hire your own technical specialist to maintain the system. Or you can work with an online solution that will have their own technical team, who will not only maintain the system, but who will also assist you with any difficulties that you might encounter. Just make sure to ask from the start if the technical support is included in your subscription, or if there are any additional fees that you will have to pay if you ever encounter technical difficulties.
7. Scalability
A small school will have limited needs in terms of management and data storage. However, as the school grows, so will their data storage and processing needs. As such, it is important to choose a software solution that can easily adapt to your school’s growing needs. The only way to check this is to see if the service providers that you choose are already working with bigger schools. It is also advised to choose a system that has been on the market for a while now, and which has already showed that it can grow and adapt to the needs of their clients.
8. Pricing
Education has rarely been prioritized when it came to budget allocations. As such, most public schools are dealing with limited budgets, and even private schools can encounter budget challenges in tough economic times. As such, it is important to find an affordable system that won’t punch a hole in the school budget. Luckily, nowadays we have the benefit of cloud computing, which allows for cheap data storage and processing solutions. This means that both small and big schools can have access to the cutting-edge technology, and pay according to how much the use the system. Most systems offer pricing options based on the number of students of each school.

Innovation is wherever in instruction: Public schools in the United States currently give no less than one PC to every five understudies. They spend more than $3 billion every year on computerized content. Driven by the central government, the nation is amidst a monstrous push to make moderate fast Internet and free web-based showing assets accessible to even the most provincial and remote schools. What’s more, in 2015-16, out of the blue, more state government sanctioned tests for the rudimentary and center evaluations will be directed by means of innovation than by paper and pencil.
There’s the blasting ed-tech industry, with corporate titans and little new businesses alike competing for a cut of an $8 billion or more yearly market for equipment and programming. Much consideration is likewise paid to the “early adopters”— those areas, schools, and educators who are making the smartest and compelling employment of the new devices available to them.
Yet, a huge assortment of research has additionally clarified that most educators have been ease back to change the manners in which they instruct, notwithstanding the flood of new innovation into their classrooms. Their stays constrained confirmation to demonstrate that innovation and web-based learning are enhancing learning results for general understudies. Also, scholastics and guardians alike have communicated worries about computerized diversions, manners by which unequal access to and utilization of innovation may extend accomplishment holes, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
State and government officials, in the interim, have wrestled as of late with the truth that new advancements additionally introduce new difficulties. The ascent of “huge information,” for instance, has prompted new worries about how schools can keep delicate understudy data private and secure.
What takes after is a diagram of the enormous patterns, openings, and concerns related to classroom innovation. Connections to extra assets are incorporated into each segment for the individuals who might want to burrow further.
What Is Personalized Learning?
source: http://www.syedusman.com
Numerous in the ed-tech field see new advances as ground-breaking devices to enable schools to address the issues of always differing understudy populaces. The thought is that computerized gadgets, programming, and learning stages offer a once-inconceivable exhibit of alternatives for fitting instruction to every individual understudy’s scholastic qualities and shortcomings, premiums and inspirations, individual inclinations, and ideal pace of learning.
Every understudy ought to have a “student profile” that reports his or her qualities, shortcomings, inclinations, and objectives;
Every understudy should seek after an individualized learning way that urges him or her to set and oversee individual scholarly objectives;
Understudies ought to take after a “competency-based movement” that spotlights on their capacity to show the dominance of a point, as opposed to situate time; and,
Understudies’ learning surroundings ought to be adaptable and organized in manners that help their individual objectives.
How does innovation bolster that vision?

In numerous schools, understudies are given area possessed processing gadgets or permitted to bring their own particular gadgets from home. The thought is this considers “day in and day out” learning at the time and area of the understudy’s picking.
Learning administration frameworks, understudy data frameworks, and other programming are additionally used to disseminate assignments, oversee calendars and correspondences, and track understudy advance.
For all the mechanical advancement, however, usage remains a noteworthy test. Schools and instructors the nation over keep on wrestling with the changing part of educators, how to adjust adaptable and “customized” models with the state and government responsibility necessities.
Notwithstanding the gigantic speculations that many educational systems are making, the confirmation that advanced customized learning can enhance understudy results or restricted accomplishment holes at scale stays scattered, best case scenario.
What Is 1-to-1 Computing?
Progressively, schools are moving to give understudies their own workstation phone, or computerized tablet. Schools bought in excess of 23 million gadgets for classroom use in 2013 and 2014 alone. Lately, iPads and afterward Chromebooks (modest Web-based workstations) have risen as the gadgets of decision for some schools.
Todd Wirt, foremost at Mooresville High School in Mooresville, N.C., Discusses the school’s 1-to-1 program and how innovation has influenced the school’s way of life. View more ed-tech recordings.
The two greatest components prodding the ascent in 1-to-1 understudy figuring have been new commands that state government sanctioned tests be conveyed on the web and the boundless reception of the Common Core State Standards.
By and large, the expectation is that placing gadgets in the hands of understudies will help with a few or the majority of the accompanying objectives:
Enabling instructors and programming to convey more customized substance and exercises to understudies, while enabling understudies to learn at their own pace and capacity level;
Helping understudies to end up mechanically gifted and educated and in this way better arranged for present-day working environments;
Engaging understudies to accomplish more intricate and inventive work by enabling them to utilize advanced and online applications and instruments;
Enhancing correspondences among understudies, instructors, and guardians.
In spite of the potential advantages, be that as it may, numerous locale has kept running into inconvenience when endeavoring to execute 1-to-1 registering activities. Paying for the gadgets can be a test, particularly as the technique of issuing long haul bonds for here and now innovation buys has come into question. Numerous locale has additionally kept running into issues with the framework (insufficient transmission capacity to help all understudies getting to the Internet in the meantime) and organization (lack of common sense in dispersing and overseeing a large number of gadgets.)
The most noteworthy issue for schools endeavoring to go 1-to-1, however, has been an absence of instructive vision. Without an unmistakable picture of how educating and learning is required to change, specialists say, going 1-to-1 frequently sums to a “splash and implore” approach of appropriating numerous gadgets and seeking after the best.
A few pundits of instructive innovation likewise point to an ongoing report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which found that nations, where 15-year old understudies utilize PCs most in the classroom, scored the most exceedingly terrible on worldwide perusing and math tests.
What Is Blended Learning?
In its least complex terms, mixed learning consolidates conventional, instructor to-understudy exercises with innovation based direction.
Numerous schools and locale utilize a “revolution” show, which is regularly seen as a viable method for giving understudies more customized guideline and littler gathering encounters. Now and again, setting aside extra cash (through bigger in general class sizes, for instance) is likewise an objective. The essential preface includes understudies turning amongst on the web and in-person stations for various parts of the day. There are numerous variants of this approach, be that as it may: Do understudies remain in the classroom or go to a PC lab?
Venture inside the San Francisco Flex Academy, which opened amid the 2010-11 school year, and get notification from understudies and teachers who’ve grasped the school’s mixed learning model. View more ed-tech recordings.
One major pattern for schools includes attempting to ensure that what happens online is associated with what occurs amid up close and personal cooperations with educators. That could include giving instructors a say in choosing the product that understudies use, for instance, or trying to guarantee online projects give educators information that is valuable in settling on convenient instructional choices.
How Is Online Testing Evolving?
The greatest advancement on this front has been stated’ appropriation of online exams lined up with the Common Core State Standards. Amid the 2014-15 school year, 10 states (in addition to the District of Columbia) utilized exams from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), and 18 states utilized exams from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, which were all conveyed essentially on the web. A large number of alternate states likewise utilized online appraisals.
The 2015-16 school year will be the first in which more state-required summative appraisals in U.S. center and grade schools will be conveyed by means of innovation instead of paper and pencil, as per an ongoing investigation by EdTech Strategies, an instructive innovation counseling firm.
Past gathering authoritative commands, saw benefits incorporate cost reserve funds, the simplicity of organization and investigation, and the possibility to utilize complex execution assignments.
In any case, a few states—including Florida, Minnesota, Montana, and Wisconsin—have encountered huge issues with online tests, running from digital assaults to sign in issues to specialized blunders. What’s more, there is developing proof that understudies who take the paper-and-pencil rendition of some critical tests perform superior to peers who take similar exams on the web, at any rate for the time being.
In any case, it seems likely that internet testing will proceed to develop—and not only for state summative evaluations. The U.S. Division of Education, for instance, is among those pushing for a more noteworthy utilization of mechanically upgraded developmental appraisals that can be utilized to analyze understudies’ capacities in near ongoing. In the division’s 2016 National Education Technology Plan, for instance, it calls for states and areas to “outline, create, and actualize learning dashboards, reaction frameworks, and correspondence pathways that give understudies, teachers, families, and different partners convenient and noteworthy input about understudy figuring out how to enhance accomplishment and instructional practices.”
How Are Digital Materials Used in Classrooms?
The advanced instructional substance is the biggest cut of the (non-equipment) K-12 instructive innovation showcase, with yearly offers of all the more than $3 billion. That incorporates computerized exercises in math, English/dialect expressions, and science, and additionally “claim to fame” subjects, for example, business and expressive arts. The market is as yet overwhelmed by goliath distributors, for example, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Pearson, who have been scrambling to change from their print-driven heritage items to more advanced contributions.
In any case, newcomers with one-off items or particular subject matters have made advances, and some applications and online administrations have additionally increased enormous footing within schools.
Thus, numerous schools utilize a blend of advanced assets, touting potential advantages, for example, more prominent capacity to customize, higher commitment among understudies, upgraded capacity to keep content refreshed and current, and more noteworthy intelligence and adaptivity (or responsiveness to singular students).
All things considered, however, the change to advanced instructional materials is going on gradually, for reasons that range from the money related (for locale that haven’t possessed the capacity to buy gadgets for all understudies, for instance) to the specialized (areas that do not have the foundation to help each understudy being on the web together.) Print still records for around 70 percent of pre-K-12 instructional materials deals in the United States.
How Are Virtual Education and Distance Learning Getting along?
One innovation drift that has gone under expanding examination includes full-time online schools, especially digital contracts. Around 200,000 understudies are enlisted in around 200 openly subsidized, freely oversaw online sanction schools crosswise over 26 states.
In any case, such schools were found to have a “mind-boggling negative effect” on understudy learning in a thorough arrangement of studies discharged in 2015 by a gathering of research associations, including Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes at Stanford University.
That examination did not cover the in excess of two dozen full-time online schools that are state-run, nonetheless, nor did it cover the handfuls increasingly that are controlled by singular school locale. Tons of understudies who are enlisted in customary physical schools additionally take singular courses on the web. Five states—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Michigan, and Virginia—now expect understudies to have some internet figuring out how to graduate. Different states, for example, Utah, have passed laws empowering such alternatives for understudies.
For some understudies, particularly those in provincial and remote regions, on the web and separation learning can offer access to courses, subjects, and educators they may some way or another never have the capacity to discover. Such open doors can likewise profit progressed and profoundly energetic understudies and those with irregular timetables and travel necessities, and be a valuable apparatus to keep schools running amid snow days.
Be that as it may, up until this point, accomplishing positive scholarly results at scale by means of web based learning has demonstrated troublesome, and numerous spectators have communicated worries about the absence of responsibility in the part, particularly as identifies with revenue driven supervisors of online choices.
