About this site

This site, Dear Guru 1 , has been developed for teachers - young and old, new or experienced--who enjoy teaching and have an insatiable urge to learn for professional and personal development. Above all the objective of creating this site is to provide a free forum : a platform for exchanging ideas and class-room experience for the benefit of all those who enjoy teaching.

This site owes its origin to the 'teachers page' earlier a part of my personal site. Based on the feedback received from other teachers during the ten months of existance of the "teachers' page" I had been motivated to develop Dear Guru 1 as a full - fledged teacher's site incorporating most of the suggestions received from them. Hence in the new millenium year (2000), like my earlier page for teachers, I developed this site for all educators who like to experiment with latest ideas, who wish to use IT and computer for teaching and learning, who enjoy interacting with other academics and wish to widen their horizon through formal, non-formal or informal means of professional development will find this site specially useful.

This e-forum is meant to serve as a teaching resource specially as a supplement to the static resources available elsewhere and is particularly meant for school teachers upto +2 stage (K12). Hence, this site provides links to selected web resources useful for classroom teaching, project preparation, lesson planning, use of IT in teaching and evaluation as well as research. Most of the links are for freely searchable subject-based knowledge contents, academic and IT related developments for teachers and latest information for professional growth, sources for current awareness and teaching tools, relevant books and other publications.

Happy surfing.....

Prof. (Dr.) M. Goswamy
