அழுத்தம்...நித்தம் குறைக்க பின்பற்ற வேண்டிய சில யோசனைகள்....<div>உயர் ரத்த அழுத்தத்தை கட்டுக்குள் வைக்க என்ன செய்யலாம்? </div><div><br></div><div>உலகில் பெரும்பாலான மக்கள் உயர் ரத்த அழுத்தப்பிரச்சனைக்கு ஆளாகிறார்கள். ஒவ்வொரு வருடமும் இந்நோயால் பாதிக்கப்படுபவரின் எண்ணிக்கை பன்மடங்கு அதிகரித்துவருகிறது. மோசமான நோயும் கட்டுக்குள் வைத்தால் பெரும்பாலும் பாதிப்பை உண்டாக்காது. அந்த வகையில் இந்நோயை கட்டுக்குள் வைத்தால் மட்டுமே இதயமும், மூளையும் பாதுகாக்கப்படும்.</div><div><br></div><div>தற்போது இளைஞர்களிடமும் அதிகரித்து வரும் உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை இயற்கையாக எளிமையான வழிமுறையில் எளிதாக கட்டுப்படுத்த என்ன செய்யலாம் என்பதை உங்களுக்கு கொடுத்திருக்கிறோம். படிப்பதோடு பயன்படுத்தியும் பாருங்கள். நிச்சயம் உங்கள் நலனுக்கு ஆரோக்கியமானதாக இருக்கும்.</div><div><br></div><div>இரத்த அழுத்தம் எவ்வளவு இருக்கலாம் என்பதை முதலில் தெரிந்து கொண்டு என்ன செய்யலாம் என்பதை அடுத்து பார்க்கலாம். இதயம் சுருங்கி விரியும் போது 120 மி.மி ( சிலருக்கு மாறுபடும் என்பதால் 140 வரை பொது என்றும் சொல்கிறார்கள்) இதயம் விரியும் போது 80 மி.மி இருக்க வேண்டும். இதுதான் நார்மல் என்று அழைக்கப்படுகிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>ஆனால் ரத்த நாளங்களில் உள்ள அழுத்தமானது அதிகரித்த நிலையிலோ குறைந்த நிலையிலோ தொடர்ந்து இருந்தால் மருத்துவர்கள் இரத்த அழுத்தம் என்று உறுதிபடுத்துகிறார்கள். 35 வயதை கடந்தவர்கள் மூன்று மாதங்களுக்கு ஒருமுறையாவது மருத்துவரிடம் உங்கள் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை பரிசோதனை செய்து கொள்வது நல்லது.</div><div><br></div><div>ரத்த அழுத்தத்துக்கு மாத்திரைகள் மட்டும்தான் தீர்வு என்றில்லை.எளிமையான இந்த 15 வழிகளை கடைபிடித்தால் வராமலே கூட காக்கலாம். பாதிக்கப்பட்டிருப்பவர்கள் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் வைக்கலாம்.</div><div><br></div><div>1. அன்றாடம் நடைபயிற்சி</div><div><br></div><div>உடற்பயிற்சி செய்வது இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் குறைக்கும் என்று தேசிய சுகாதார நிறுவனம் கூறுகிறது. பொதுவாகவே உடற்பயிற்சி செய்யும் போது இதயம் வலிமையாகவும் உடலில் உள்ள உறுப்புகளுக்கு இரத்தத்தை தடையில்லாமல் சீராக எடுத்து செல்வதிலும் இரத்தநாளங்களில் இரத்த அழுத்தம் ஏற்படாமலும் காக்கிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>நாள் ஒன்றுக்கு 150 நிமிடங்கள் மிதமான நடைபயிற்சியுடன் கூடிய உடற்பயிற்சி அல்லது 75 நிமிடங்கள் வேகமான உடற் பயிற்சி, ஜாக்கிங் போன்றவை இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் கட்டுக்குள் வைக்கும்.தினமும் உடற்பயிற்சிக்கென்று நேரம் ஒதுக்கு வதோடு உங்கள் துணையுடன் சேர்ந்து பயிற்சி செய்யும் போது இரத்த அழுத்தம் வேகமாகவே குறையும் என்கிறார்கள்.</div><div><br></div><div>தினமும் காலை அல்லது மாலையில் 30 நிமிட நடைபயிற்சி கூட இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் கட்டுக்குள் வைக்கும்.</div><div><br></div><div>2.உப்பின் அளவை குறையுங்கள்</div><div><br></div><div>உப்பு என்றழைக்கப்படும் சோடியத்தின் அளவு அதிகரிக்கும் போது உடலில் பல்வேறு பிரச்னைகள் உண்டாகிறது. மசாலாக்கள் நிறைந்த உணவு, இனிப்பு, புளிப்பு, காரம், உப்பு நிறைந்த துரித உணவுகள், சாட் வகைகள் அதிகம் விரும்பி உண்ணப்படுகிறது. இதில் இருக்கும் உப்பு பரிந்துரைக்கப்பட்ட அளவை விட அதிகமான அளவு உடலில் சேர்கிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>சமீபத்திய ஆராய்ச்சியிலும் சோடியத்தின் அளவு அதிகரிக்கும் போது இரத்த அழுத்தம் அதிகரிப்பதாக குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளது. பல ஆய்வுகளில் சோடியத்தின் அளவு அதிகரிக்கும் போது பக்கவாதம் இதயம் தொடர்பான பாதிப்புகள் அதிகரிப்பதாக கூறியுள்ளது. எனவே உப்பின் அளவை தவிர்ப்பது நல்லது.</div><div><br></div><div>3. மதுப்பழக்கம்</div><div>இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் கட்டுக்குள் வைக்க மதுப்பழக்கத்தை தவிர்ப்பது நல்லது. ஆய்வு ஒன்றின் படி உலகெங்கிலும் உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களில் 16% பேர் மதுப்பழக்கத்தாலேயே இந்நோயைக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்.</div><div>குறைந்த அளவு ஆல்கஹால் இதயத்துக்கு பாதுகாப்பு கொடுக்கும் என்று சில ஆய்வு பரிந்துரைத்தாலும் அளவுக்கு அதிகமாகும் போது அது எதிர்மறையான விளைவுகளையும் ஏற்படுத்தும் என்பதும் கவனிக்கத்தக்கது.</div><div><br></div><div>குறிப்பு: குறைந்த அளவுதானே என்று நீங்களே குடிப்பதற்கு ஒரு எல்லை வைத்துக்கொண்டாலும் அது உங்கள் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை அதிகரிக்கவே செய்யும் என்பதை மறக்க வேண்டாம்.</div><div><br></div><div>4. பொட்டாசியம் நிறைந்த உணவு</div><div>உடலில் பொட்டாசியத்தின் அளவு அதிகரிக்கும் போது சோடியத்தின் அளவு குறைவாகும். பொட்டாசியம் நிறைந்த உணவு களை அதிகம் எடுத்துக்கொள்வதும் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் குறைக்க செய்யும். பொட்டாசியம் நிறைந்த உணவுகள்.</div><div><br></div><div>* தக்காளி, தக்காளியில் செய்யப்பட்ட உணவுகள்.</div><div>*கொட்டைகள், உலர் பழங்கள் மற்றும் விதைகள்</div><div>*பட்டாணி,பீன்ஸ், சோயா மற்றும் பருப்புவகைகள்</div><div>*பப்பாளி, வாழைப்பழம், ஆரஞ்சு, முலாம்பழம் போன்ற பழவகைகள்</div><div>*கீரைகள், ப்ரோக்கோலி, காய்கறிகள்,கோதுமை, பால் மற்றும் பாலில் தயாராகும் உணவுகள்.</div><div>*அசைவம் சாப்பிடுபவர்களாக இருந்தால் மீன்</div><div><br></div><div>5. காஃபின் நிறைந்த பானங்களைத் தவிர்க்கவும்</div><div>காலை, மாலை இருவேளை காபி, டீ போன்ற பானங்கள் உடலுக்கு நன்மையைத் தரும் சோர்ந்திருந்த உங்களுக்கு புத்துணர்ச்சியைத் தரும். மாறாக அளவுக்கு மீறி அருந்தும் போது அதில் இருக்கும் காஃபின் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை அதிகரிக்க செய்யும் என்ற கருத்தும், அவ்வளவு நீடித்த பாதிப்பை உண்டாக்காது என்றும் இருதரப்பு வாதங்கள் உண்டு. எனினும் அளவுக்கு அதிகாமானால் அமிர்தமும் நஞ்சு என்பதால் அதிகமாக எடுத்துக்கொள்ளாமல் இருப்பதே நல்லது.</div><div><br></div><div>6. மனதை இலேசாக வைத்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள்</div><div>உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை அதிகரிக்க செய்வதில் பெரும்பங்கு மன அழுத்தத்துக்கு உண்டு. மனதில் அழுத்தம் அதிகரிக் கும் போது இதயத்தின் துடிப்பும் அதிகரிக்கும். இதனால் இரத்த நாளங்களில் அழுத்தம் உண்டாகிறது. அதனால் முதலில் மன அழுத்தத்தை குறைக்க முயற்சி செய்வது நல்லது.</div><div><br></div><div>பணிச்சுமையிலிருந்து மீண்டு வர தியானம், யோகா போன்ற பயிற்சிகளில் ஈடுபடலாம் அல்லது தினமும் குறைந்த நேரம் ஒதுக்கி உங்களுக்கு பிடித்த விஷயங்களை செய்யலாம். இசை நரம்பு மண்டலத்தை தளர்த்த உதவுவதாக ஆராய்ச்சி ஒன்றில் கண்டறியப்பட்டுள்ளதும் குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.</div><div><br></div><div>7. சாக்லெட் சாப்பிடுங்கள்</div><div>டார்க் சாக்லெட் மற்றும் கோகோவில் இருக்கும் ஃப்ளாவனாய்டுகள் இரத்த நாளங்களை சீராக்கும். இதனால் இதய நோய் உண்டாகும் அபாயம் குறையும். இரத்த அழுத்தத்தையும் குறைக்கும். அளவான சாக்லெட்டுகள் ஆரோக்கியத்தைக் கொடுக்கும் என்பதையும் நினைவில் கொள்ளுங்கள்.</div><div><br></div><div>8. உடல் எடையைக் கட்டுக்குள் வையுங்கள்</div><div>உடல் பருமன் உள்ளவர்களுக்கு உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தம் வருவதற்கான வாய்ப்பு அதிகம். உங்கள் உடல் எடையைக் குறைக் கும் போது இரத்த அழுத்தமும் கணிசமாக குறைவதாக 2016 ஆம் ஆண்டு ஆய்வு ஒன்று தெரிவித்துள்ளது. உடல்</div><div>பயிற்சியுடன் உடல் எடையும் குறையும் போது அதிகப்படியான இரத்த அழுத்தம் வேகமாக குறைகிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>உடல் எடை குறையும் போது உடலில் இரத்த நாளங்கள் விரிவடைந்து சுருங்குவதும் சீராகிறது. இதயத்தின் வால்வுகள் சீராக சிறப்பாக செயல்படவும் செய்கிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>9. புகைப்பிடிப்பதைத் தவிருங்கள்</div><div>சிகரெட் புகைப்பவர்கள் புற்றுநோய் மட்டுமல்ல வலுவான இதய நோய்களையும் பெறும் அபாயத்தைக் கொண்டிருக்கி றார்கள் என்றே சொல்லலாம். புகையிலையில் இருக்கும் இராசயனங்கள் இரத்த நாளங்களை சேதப்படுத்துகிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>புகைப் பிடிப்பவர்கள் புகையை வெளியே விடும்போதெல்லாம் இரத்த அழுத்தம் அதிகரிப்பதும் குறைவதுமாக சீரற்ற நிலையில் இருக்கும். இயன்றவரை அல்ல கட்டாயமாக புகைப்பிடிப்பதை தவிர்ப்பதே இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் கட்டுக்குள் வைக்கும் வழி.</div><div><br></div><div>10. நீரிழிவின் அளவை கட்டுக்குள் வைக்கும்</div><div>அதிகப்படியான சர்க்கரையின் அளவு இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை அதிகரிக்கும். ஃப்ரேமிங்ஹாம் என்னும் பெண்களுக்கான சுகா தார ஆய்வின் படி தினமும் இனிப்பு உப்பு கலந்த சோடா குடிக்கும் பெண்களுக்கு மற்ற பெண்களை விட உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தம் அதிகரிப்பது கண்டறியப்பட்டுள்ளது.</div><div><br></div><div>மேலும் செயற்கை குளிர்பானங்களுடன் சுத்திகரிக்கப்பட்ட வெள்ளை மாவு( மைதா...) பொருள்களும் இரத்தத்தில் சர்க்கரையின் அளவை அதிகரிப்பதால் அதைத் தவிர்த்து நீரிழிவைக் கட்டுக்குள் வைப்பது இரத்த அழுத்தத்தையும் கட்டுக்குள்ளேயே வைக்கும்.</div><div><br></div><div>11. பெர்ரி சாப்பிடுங்கள்</div><div>பெர்ரியில் இதயத்துக்கு நன்மை பயக்கும் பாலிபினால்கள் நிறைந்திருக்கின்றன. நடுத்தர வயது கொண்ட மக்களை எட்டு வாரங்கள் பெர்ரி சாப்பிட வைத்து ஆய்வுக்கு உட்படுத்தினார்கள். ஆய்வின் முடிவில் இரத்த அழுத்தம், இதயத்தின் ஆரோக்கியம் குறிப்பிட்ட சதவீதம் முன்னேறியிருந்தது. அதனால் பெர்ரி சாப்பிடுவதை வழக்கமாக்கி கொள்ளுங்கள்.</div><div><br></div><div>12. தியானம் பழகுங்கள்</div><div>மன அழுத்தத்தைக் குறைத்தாலே இரத்த அழுத்தம் குறைந்துவிடும். தியானத்தின் போது மூச்சு பயிற்சியும் இயல்பாக கலந்திருக்கும். தியானத்தால் இதய துடிப்பும், இரத்த ஓட்டமும் சீராக இருக்கும். இதை நிரூபிக்கும் வகையில் ஆராய்ச்சியும் நடத்தப்பட்டது</div><div><br></div><div>30 பேரை ஆய்வுக்கு உட்படுத்தி 30 விநாடிகளில் ஆறுமுறை ஆழமான மூச்சை வெளிவிடுமாறு செய்தனர் இதில் இயல்பாக மூச்சு விட்டு கொண்டிருந்தவர்களை விட ஆழமான மூச்சை விட்டவர்களின் இரத்த அழுத்தம் குறைவாக இருந்தது.</div><div><br></div><div>13. கல்சிய சத்து தேவை</div><div><br></div><div>ஆரோக்கியமான ஒருவருக்கு தினமும் 1000 மி.கிராம் கல்சியம் தேவை. 50 வயதைக் கடந்த பெண்கள் 70 வயதைக் கடந்த ஆண்களுக்கு 1200 மி.கிராம் அளவு கல்சியம் சேர வேண்டும். கல்சிய சத்து இரத்த அழுத்தத்தை குறைக்கும் என்று ஆய்வுகள் தெரிவிக்காவிட்டாலும் கால்சிய சத்து குறையும் போது இரத்த அழுத்தம் அதிகரிக்கிறது. பால், கீரை வகைகள், பீன்ஸ், மீன் போன்றவற்றில் கால்சியம் நிறைந்திருக்கிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>14. தவிர்க்க கூடாத உணவுகள்</div><div>இரத்த அழுத்தத்தைக் குறைக்க பூண்டை அதிகம் சேர்க்கலாம். பெர்பெரின், மோர், மீன் எண்ணெய், செம்பருத்தி டீ போன்றவற்றை சேர்க்கலாம். இவை இதயத்துக்கு வலு சேர்ப்பதோடு இரத்த அழுத்தத்தையும் கட்டுக்குள் வைக்கிறது.</div><div><br></div><div>15.மெக்னீஷியம் அவசியம்</div><div>இரத்த நாளங்கள் சிறப்பாக செயல்பட மெக்னீஷியம் உதவுகிறது.பொதுவாக மெக்னீஷியம் குறைபாடு வருவதில்லை. ஆனால் மெக்னீஷியம் குறைந்தால் இரத்த அழுத்தத்துக்கு வாய்ப்பு உண்டு. காய்கறிகள், பருப்பு வகைகள், பால், கோழி இறைச்சி, தானியங்கள் மெக்னீஷிய சத்தை அதிகரிக்கின்றன.</div><div><br></div><div>இவையெல்லாம் தொடர்ந்து செய்து வந்தால் அடுத்த பரிசோதனையில் உயர் இரத்த அழுத்தம் குறிப்பிட்ட அளவு குறைந்திருக்கும் என்பதை நீங்கள் அனுபவபூர்வமாக உணரலாம். நல்ல விஷயங்களை இன்றே தொடங்குவோமே.</div><div><br></div><div>நன்றி..!</div><div>பகிர்வு பதிவு...!</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear:

<p dir="ltr"><b>1.BLACK – BOARD/CHALKBOARD</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">               Chalkboards, perhaps the most important visual aid for teaching mathematics. It is the most indispensable tool in the hands of a mathematics teacher. Mathematics cannot be taught effectively without the use of chalkboard. Use of colour chalks can make the blackboard work appealing and attractive. A mathematics teacher can make use of the blackboard for:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Drawing geometrical figures and illustrating construction of geometrical figures.Developing various steps of the solution of a problem or proof of a theorem.Drawing graphs.Writing important points to draw the attention of the students.Interrelating mathematical concepts and principles.Writing problems for assignment and drill.Summarizing the day’s lesson.</p>
<p dir="ltr">                     Black-board is an integral part of the Mathematics classroom. The black-board should be well polished and smooth. It should be black in colour and fit for writing with a chalk. In some places the colour of black-board has now been made green. This has been done because the green colour is useful for eye sight.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Hints on Effective Use of the Chalkboard</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">1. The chalkboard should be cleaned before using it.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. The writing on the chalkboard should be neat and legible so that it can be easily understood by the students.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. The writing on the blackboard should be straight and visible to the entire class.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. Highlight key concepts with coloured chalk either by underlining or enclosing in boxes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">5. The mathematical figures should be correct and proportionate to the measurements used.</p>
<p dir="ltr">6. While writing on the board, the teacher should keep talking to the students to hold the attention of the class.</p>
<p dir="ltr">7. The teacher can encourage students’ participation by asking them to write or draw on the blackboard.</p>
<p dir="ltr">8. The teacher should take adequate care to see that the writings on the board are accurate and appropriate.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Advantages:-</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">1. It is used to develop various steps of the solution of a problem (or) proof of the -Orem.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. It is used for drawing important diagrams.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. It is used to compare and contrast certain important results. Such are noted down on B.B.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. Black-board can also be used to plot certain graphs (or) curves showing various inter-relationships, presenting statistical data etc.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>2.FLANNEL – BOARD</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Flannel board is an excellent device for exhibiting diagrams, geometrical figures, prepared materials, showing interrelationship among various mathematical ideas, sequence of steps in the derivation of a formula or steps in solving problems. Flannel board consists of a piece of flannel stretched tightly over a strong backing of plywood. The items to be depicted on the flannel board should be pasted with small piece of sand paper at its backside so that it can be made to stick on the flannel board.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>The flannel board can be used for </b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Showing the sequence of steps in the derivation a formula, proof of a theorem and solution of a problem.Rearranging the steps in the proper sequence. Moving certain parts of a geometrical a figures to another position so as to get a new geometrical figure. For example put up a parallelogram ABCD on the flannel board. Cut it along DE</p>
<p dir="ltr">We get the right-angled ∆ ADE. Place it on the other side the parallelogram. We get a rectangle EACD.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This activity is very useful in computing the area of a parallel gram by comparing it with that of a rectangle.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>3.BULLETIN BOARD:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">The bulletin board is used for displaying bulletins, announcements, and visual displays that are interesting to the students. Bulletin boards are usually made of wood with thick flannel cloth on them and a wooden frame running around it with a glass covering on the front side.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Advantages:-</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">1. To motivate, arouse curiosity and build enthusiasm in students.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. To display work done by students.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. To display graphic and pictorial material linked with the curriculum in an attractive manner.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>4.MAGNETIC BOARD</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Magnetic board is a modification over the flannel board. Instead of flannel. A metallic sheet is fixed on the plywood. Small magnets are used to hold the materials to be exhibited on the metallic boards. It serves the same purpose as a flannel board does.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>5.WHITEBOARD</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">An interactive whiteboard is an instructional tool that allows computer images to be displayed onto a board using a digital projector. The instructor can then manipulate the elements on the board by using his finger as a mouse, directly on the screen. Items can be dragged, clicked and copied and the lecturer can handwrite notes, which can be transformed into text and saved.</p>
<p dir="ltr">They are a powerful tool in the classroom adding interactivity and collaboration, allowing the integration of media content into the lecture and supporting collaborative learning. Used innovatively they create a wide range of learning opportunities. However, in many environments they are not being used to their full potential, and in many cases acting as glorified blackboards. </p>
<p dir="ltr">This type of whiteboard is now commonplace in schools in the UK, but universities have been slower to adopt this technology. They were originally developed for use in business to demonstrate concepts and record meetings. However, they are an extremely flexible tool which can be used with both the youngest primary school children and university graduates.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An interactive whiteboard can be a cost saver as this technology demonstrates how one computer can provide learning stimuli for a whole classroom. This is more cost effective than equipping an entire IT room, or every student with a laptop.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Examples of the features available when using an interactive whiteboard:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">• Add annotations</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Highlight text</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Add notes and drawings and then save them to be printed out and shared, or added to a virtual learning environment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Show pictures and educational videos to the whole lecture theatre. You can label parts or highlight elements of an image.</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Demonstrate the content available on a website in a teacher-directed activity</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Interactive whiteboards as a pedagogical tool</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">This type of tool promotes creative teaching and motivates students into absorbing information.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Teaching with an interactive whiteboard allows lecturers to accommodate all different learning styles:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">• Tactile learners get to touch and move things around the board. They can also make notes and highlight elements.</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Visual learners benefit from a clear view of what is happening on the board.</p>
<p dir="ltr">• Audio learners can participate in a class discussion.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Interactive teaching</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">The teacher can call upon the students to interact with the whiteboard themselves. The lecturer can sit at the computer, with the student at the whiteboard, and the class offering suggestions and contributing ideas.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Group interaction</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Interactive whiteboards promote group discussion and participation. They are an effective tool for brainstorming as notes made on the screen can be turned into text, and saved to be shared and distributed later. They are an ideal tool for small group work and collaborative learning, as students can huddle around the board developing ideas, and then save the work for sharing over a network or by email.</p>
<p dir="ltr">An interactive whiteboard (IWB) is a large interactive display in the form factor of a whiteboard. It can either be a standalone touchscreen computer used independently to perform tasks and operations, or a connectable apparatus used as a touchpad to control computers from a projector. They are used in a variety of settings, including classrooms at all levels of education, in corporate board rooms and work groups, in training rooms for professional sports coaching, in broadcasting studios, and others.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Classroom applications for using interactive whiteboards include:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Multimedia lessons and presentations including audio and video</p>
<p dir="ltr">Collaborative problem solving</p>
<p dir="ltr">Showcasing student projects and presentations</p>
<p dir="ltr">Virtual field trips</p>
<p dir="ltr">Recorded lessons that can be used by substitute teachers</p>
<p dir="ltr">Documentation of student achievement</p>
<p dir="ltr">Classroom uses</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. In some classrooms, interactive whiteboards have replaced traditional whiteboards or flipcharts, or video/media systems such as a DVD player and TV combination. Even where traditional boards are used, the IWB often supplements them by connecting to a school network digital video distribution system. In other cases, IWBs interact with online shared annotation and drawing environments such as interactive vector based graphical websites.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Brief instructional blocks can be recorded for review by students — they will see the exact presentation that occurred in the classroom with the teacher's audio input. This can help transform learning and instruction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Many companies and projects now focus on creating supplemental instructional materials specifically designed for interactive whiteboards. Electro kite out of Boston, MA, for example, will have the first complete curriculum for schools and districts.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. One recent use of the IWB is in shared reading lessons. Mimic books, for instance, allow teachers to project children's books onto the interactive whiteboard with book-like interactivity.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Interactive Whiteboard Success Tips</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Whether you’ve been using an interactive whiteboard (IWB) for years, or you’ve never turned yours on, ramp up your students’ learning with these easy-to-learn (and teach!) strategies.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>1. Hold That Thought</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Use a fresh whiteboard page as a blank canvas. Whether your class brainstorms a list of words that begin with the letter a, a list of endangered animals to research, or the implications of a constitutional amendment, preserve those ideas by using the IWB capture tool to save the entire page or a section of the page. Save the ink layer, then capture a screenshot that you can either print, save or post on your class website.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>2. Capture the Moment</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Go beyond capturing a single page when you put your whiteboard’s screen recording tools to work. Record the sequence of IWB pages used in your lesson, including audio. You can experiment with free online screen recording tools such as Jing, Screencast-o-Matic, Snipping Tool for Windows or Sketch for Mac users. Students can even capture what they’re doing on their own screens, then you can create and embed a video of their work into your IWB lesson. For a biography unit, students might work individually or in small groups to create digital posters highlighting their subjects’ achievements. Gather their work into a video to use in another lesson, on your class or school’s website or to share at a special parent night.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>3. Ready-Made Lesson Plans</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Interactive whiteboard manufacturers provide online resources and ready-made lesson plans for teachers by teachers. (Check out the SMART Exchange, for example, or Promethean Planet.) Need lessons that meet STEM or Common Core standards? They’ve got them. Or you can peruse their lesson banks by state standard, subject or skill to match the needs of your students.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>4. Try a Template</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Use one of the many ready-made templates to fit your objectives. Graphics, sounds and special effects are ready to go; all you need to do is plug in math fact families, poetic figurative language or test review questions for a rousing round of classroom Jeopardy. You’ll also find classroom management templates for tasks like taking roll and recognizing positive behavior. Pay it forward by sharing your own templates at the teacher hub on your IWB manufacturer’s site.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>5. Learning Styles</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Perhaps the biggest advantage interactive whiteboards offer is the ability for your students to interact with the subject matter and manipulate objects right on the whiteboard. Kids are naturally drawn to technology, and they’re highly motivated by the idea of using an IWB. Research shows that kids learn best when lessons cater to a variety of learning styles. IWB lessons that get kids up and out of their seats appeal to kinesthetic learners. Emerging writers can turn their fingers into virtual pens and practice writing words in colors and patterns, or older students can draw arrows and label the parts of a chemical compound. With sound recording tools and imbedded sound-effect files, auditory learners benefit, too. But you don’t have to choose one learning style over another; combine a variety into the same lesson. Kids can draw a queen bee, label the body parts, add animation and add a buzzing sound as their bee “flies” across the screen.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>6. In the Spotlight</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">On a regular white board, you can write notes and draw diagrams to make your point. With your IWB, take it a step further with tools that help you hone in on important elements in your lesson. Shine the spotlight tool on a capital city on the map, slide the screen shade line-by-line to reveal text as you read, or highlight helping verbs with your finger. You can also create boxes that hide text and images to reveal later in your lesson. Sections of the board can be magnified to draw attention to specific elements of your lesson such as graphs, key words or images.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>7. Enhancing Video</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Take video clips that you’re already using and let students use interactive whiteboard tools to solidify their learning. Pause a stop-motion video of a growing flower and label the parts of the flower as they emerge. Capture each page with labels to create a virtual or printed class book. Or pause a clip of the Nixon-Kennedy debate after a provocative sound bite from one of the candidates, and let students draw a thought bubble to illustrate what the other candidate might be thinking of his opponent’s last comment. Check out Learn360, United Streaming and Teacher Tube for educational video clips that can enhance your lessons.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>8. Cast a Web</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Imbed Web links into your lessons to bring academic concepts to life. If you’re teaching research skills, include a link to one of the online databases that kids will be using. If your students are learning about George Washington, link an image or block of text to an online virtual tour of Mount Vernon, Washington’s home. Before introducing students to “The Diary of Anne Frank,” link to a virtual tour of the home that was her hiding place during the time that she wrote her diary.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>9. Distance Learning</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">With a wireless pad and pen, you can now control your interactive whiteboard from anywhere in the classroom, so there’s no need to turn your back on the class as you teach. You can download an app like Tether to turn your iPad into a remote controller for your IWB. Students can draw or write on iPads with IWB tools using apps such as Ink2go or one from your IWB manufacturer. Let you students use these tools to demonstrate understanding of math problems, label parts of a simple machine or ask a question for you or their classmates to answer.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>10. Random Generator</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Mix things up with one of the many random generator tools on your IWB. Instead of always calling on students who raise their hands, make sure everyone has a voice. Enter students’ names ahead of time in a random name generator, then choose students as their names come up. You can also use this tool to assign groups randomly for quick activities. Use two generators simultaneously to assign classroom jobs—one with students’ names, and the other with job titles. Subject-area content can also be used to generate random numbers, words, musical notes, etc. Play “Whose Words?” when students touch the generator to reveal quotes from characters in fiction, or race to come up with as many ways to create a number sentence for a given number.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>11. It’s a Match</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Easily create matching and sorting activities with words, images or both. Gauge students’ background knowledge on a topic by letting them explore quotes from famous speeches and matching them to their sources. Check understanding during a lesson or a small group activity by having students sort prime and composite numbers into a T-chart. Gather formative assessment data by asking students to match the causes of the American Revolution with their immediate and long-term effects.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>12. Cloning</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Not only can students manipulate objects on the IWB, but the objects can be cloned to use again and again. Set up different shapes at the bottom of the screen that you can “infinitely clone,” which will lock them into place so that they can’t be moved. Students can then touch a shape and drag, which pulls the identical shape to another part of the board, while the original stays put for use elsewhere in the pattern. Turn this same concept into a bar graph or pictograph. Infinitely clone a circle, square or even individual headshots of the students and have them move one onto a graph to show a favorite activity, birthday month or results of a mock political election. For foreign language classes, set up and infinitely clone text boxes with definite articles and let students drag these next to the appropriate nouns.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>13. Back to Class</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">Interactive whiteboard sites often post webinars or online self-paced training to help you get the most out of this new technology (check out the options at SMART and Promethean). Use your newfound knowledge to spread the wealth of knowledge in your school or district, and beyond.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Advantages of Using Interactive Whiteboards</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here are 3 key advantages of using interactive whiteboards in a classroom setting:</p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Improved Learning</p>
<p dir="ltr">While some students are auditory learners, absorbing information efficiently through the spoken word, others are visual learners. Interactive whiteboards give people the opportunity to absorb information in multiple formats. This helps increase retention and synthesis of information.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Increased Participation</p>
<p dir="ltr">Interactive whiteboard images can be saved and printed, so students do not have to take notes during the discussion. This allows them to participate in the learning or collaborative session at a more focused, engaged level.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Enhanced Collaboration</p>
<p dir="ltr">By integrating an interactive whiteboard into your learning or office environment, you can encourage participants to collaborate in a shared work area. This allows students to become part of the process, rather than simply recipients of prepared information</p>
<p dir="ltr">Primarily, interactive whiteboards allow teachers and students to give presentations created on a computer in class and at parent/teacher/student conferences.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Teachers can create videos to teach students different types of software in class or online. Presenters can take notes directly into PowerPoint presentations, and students can learn keyboarding from whiteboard demonstrations.

<p dir="ltr">The Smart Board is an interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection for user input (for example scrolling and right mouse-click) in the same way as normal PC input devices. The Smart Board 800 series interactive whiteboard introduced a 'flick and scroll' feature.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Smart Board (stylized as "SMART Board") is a line of interactive whiteboards produced by the Calgary, Alberta-based company Smart Technologies.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Smart Board is an interactive whiteboard that uses touch detection for user input (for example scrolling and right mouse-click) in the same way as normal PC input devices. The Smart Board 800 series interactive whiteboard introduced a 'flick and scroll' feature.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Smart Board interactive whiteboard operates as part of a system that includes the interactive whiteboard, a computer, a projector and white boarding software - either Smart Notebook collaborative learning software for education, or Smart Meeting Pro software for business. The components are connected wirelessly or via USB or serial cables. A projector connected to the computer displays the desktop image on the interactive whiteboard. The whiteboard accepts touch input from a finger, pen or other solid object. Smart Board interactive whiteboards are also available as a front-projection flat-panel display – interactive surfaces that fit over plasma or LCD display panels.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A number of teachers may not be aware of the benefits of using a Smart Board in the classroom as a teaching tool. While the traditional white board already has everyone’s attention, the electronic device is a new technology that is slowly gaining popularity due to its interactive power.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The digital screen allows images from the computer to be displayed on a board7. It can also be modified on the screen itself, using a pen or a highlighting tool. Its touch screen feature allows teachers to run programs directly from the screen simply by tapping the application with her finger and even makes scrolling easy.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>Smart Boards are becoming an essential component of every classroom. Some reasons for this trend is that:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">§ It can accommodate different learning styles. Tactical learners can use the screen and learn by touching and marking at the board, audio learners can have a discussion and visual learners can observe the teaching on the board.8</p>
<p dir="ltr">§ It is neater and does not have the cleanliness hassle and is therefore easier to maintain.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Most teachers understand the “why” but struggle with the “how”. Here are some ideas on how you can use Smart Boards.</p>
<p dir="ltr">§ Use it as a tool for note-taking. Students can come and write important points on the board. Alternately, you can appoint a student to type out notes on the computer while you talk, so that the other students can view and take them down.</p>
<p dir="ltr">§ Brainstorming in the classroom can be fun with a Smart Board. You can not only put together text/ ideas but also images, diagrams or videos.</p>
<p dir="ltr">§ Classroom games can be played with ease on the board. Board games in particular can be played on the board itself.</p>
<p dir="ltr">§ All forms of media– videos, photographs, graphs, maps, illustrations, games, etc. – can be used on the board, making it incredibly dynamic in nature. This expands the range of content that you can use for teaching or presenting new information.2</p>
<p dir="ltr">A lot of new software is available for free on the internet that can be easily integrated. There are many forums and websites that aim to help teachers by providing Smart Board ideas and activities. Explore these for more ideas.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Smart Board is tomorrow’s technology and is bound to change the look of classrooms forever. Using smart boards in your classroom can help you stay ahead with technology that could make the education process simpler and perhaps even more productive.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>THE ADVANTAGES OF SMART BOARDS IN THE CLASSROOM</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">SMART boards put simply, are a sophisticated replacement of the traditional overhead projector. Over the years, this cutting-edge technology has proved popular for students of all ages. The interactive board turns a typical classroom into a fun learning environment. It enriches classrooms in several ways by providing hands on collaboration and creating the perfect learning setting.</p>
<p dir="ltr">There are several advantages of bringing in a SMART interactive whiteboard into a classroom setting. Here are the top 8 advantages of this state-of-the-art technology in the education industry.</p>
<p dir="ltr"><b>The Top 8 Reasons why SMART Boards are an essential component in the modern day classroom:</b></p>
<p dir="ltr">1. Provides Flexibility: Interactive whiteboards allow many different forms of media – including photos, illustrations, maps, graphs, games, and video, to be displayed. These tools not only enrich the classroom experience but also help to expand the nature of content that can be used in learning. In addition, SMART Boards makes learning to be more dynamic owing to the different forms of presenting information.</p>
<p dir="ltr">2. Enhanced teaching/learning experience: SMART Boards provide new ways for teachers to teach, and student to learn. These tools support a wide variety of learning styles. For instance, visual learners can watch as their tutors use the whiteboards to project visual elements, whereas audio learners can listen. and have discussions on the other hand, the Boards come with touchscreen capabilities that allow tactile learners to touch and interact with the board.</p>
<p dir="ltr">3. Interact and share: The interactive nature of SMART boards offers learners an opportunity to share and participate in the instructional process. Interactivity provides a platform for students to demonstrate their grasp of the subject through touching, drawing, and writing. Every learner has an opportunity to participate or contribute to the presentation and/or discussion via notebooks and tablets. In addition, the boards provide for rapid assessment whereby learners can receive immediate feedback. Teachers and students are able to identify individual strengths and weaknesses in various subject areas and isolate areas/topics that need more focus or review.</p>
<p dir="ltr">4. Low-Maintenance: SMART Boards are neat and easy to use. There are no hassles cleaning or maintaining whiteboards. The data on the screen can be modified using a specialized highlighting tool or pen. There is no need for using unhygienic chalk or marker pens.</p>
<p dir="ltr">5. Access to online information & tools: SMART boards allow learners to easily access a rich database of online resources. Teachers can use the wide variety of online information sources such as knowledge databases, online video and news items to reinforce their lessons. Learners can also quickly access the wide range of powerful tools and resources to conduct research and supplement their usual study material.</p>
<p dir="ltr">6. Going Green: Interactive boards are also environmentally friendly. They offer teachers an entirely different way of presenting information to students, which eliminates the need for writing, printing or photocopying. Which, contribute to eliminate waste and pollution, from over-utilization of paper and ink.</p>
<p dir="ltr">7. Technology Integration: SMART boards allows for integration of various technologies in order to improve the learning experience. For instance, it is possible to attach tools such as microscopes, document cameras, cameras or video cameras to a whiteboard to aid in instruction. It is also possible to integrate the interactive learning tools with a wide range of software applications.</p>
<p dir="ltr">8. Communication: Interactive whiteboards allow for connectivity in different locations; making ideal collaboration and distance learning environments. When using SMART boards, student show to increase student-to-student collaboration and increase overall participation in the lesson.</p>

📚📚📚📚📚<br>
What is an infinitive?<br>
An infinitive is the most basic form of a verb. It is “unmarked” (which means that it is not conjugated for tense or person), and it is preceded by the particle to, as in to run, to read, to swim, etc.<br>
Infinitives are known as non-finite verbs, meaning they do not express actions being performed by the subjects of clauses. Instead, infinitives function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs to describe actions as ideas.<br>
Infinitives are distinct from a similar construction known as bare infinitives or the base forms of verbs, which are simply infinitives without the particle to. Although nearly identical, we use them in different ways than “full” infinitives, which we’ll look at later in this section.<br>
Using infinitives<br>
Infinitives are used to express an action as a concept, rather than what is being done or performed by the subject of a clause. In this way, they can function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs—that is, nearly any role in a sentence except that of a main verb.<br>
Infinitives can stand on their own to complete these functions, or they can work together with their own predicates (any additional information that modifies or completes them) to form infinitive phrases. Infinitive phrases function as a nouns, adjectives, or adverbs as a single, holistic unit.<br>
(In the examples in this section, infinitive phrases have been put in bold, while the infinitive verbs that begin them are in italics.)<br>
Making infinitives negative<br>
To make an infinitive or infinitive phrase negative, we use the word not before the infinitive. We can also put greater emphasis on not by placing it after to.*<br>
(*This creates what is known as a split infinitive—an infinitive that has an adverb between to and the base form of the verb. While some traditional grammar guides state that this should never be done, in reality there is no such “rule” in English; it is perfectly grammatical to split an infinitive, and in many cases it sounds more natural to do so.)<br>
Infinitives as nouns<br>
Because infinitives and infinitive phrases can function as nouns, it means that they can be the subject of a clause, the direct object of a verb, or a predicate noun.<br>
Subjects<br>
The subject performs, occupies, or controls the action of the verb.<br>
“To err is human; to forgive is divine.”<br>
“To study mathematics at Harvard was her ultimate dream.”<br>
“To live in the city means adjusting to a completely different lifestyle.”<br>
Objects<br>
As direct objects<br>
A direct object is a person or thing that directly receives the action of the verb in a clause. An infinitive that acts as the object of another verb is sometimes known as a verb complement.<br>
Remember that intransitive verbs do not take direct objects, so you will only find infinitives used as the objects of transitive verbs.<br>
“I’m not going unless you agree to go with me.”<br>
“You appear to be correct.”<br>
“Please be quiet; I’m trying to study.”<br>
“They’re attempting to solve the equation.”<br>
“Let me know if you decide to leave early.”<br>
“We hope to go in the near future.”<br>
“We rarely manage to get out of the house for the night.”<br>
As objects in reported speech<br>
When we use reported speech, we often use infinitives as the direct object of a “reporting verb” to express what was said or asked in the past. For example:<br>
“He asked to help us fix the car.”<br>
“She said not to answer the phone.”<br>
“He demanded to speak to the manager.”<br>
“They offered to take me to the airport.”<br>
“I promised to buy her a diamond ring.”<br>
“He threatened to report me to the police if I didn’t give him back the money.”<br>
As object complements<br>
Certain verbs do not make sense with only a direct object, especially when that direct object is a person. More information is required about the object’s relationship with the verb to form a complete thought. This extra information is known as the object complement.<br>
An infinitive can also act as an object complement, which is word or group of words that describe, rename, or complete the direct object of the verb. For example:<br>
“I don’t expect you to approve of my decision.”<br>
“She’s forcing me to work through the weekend.”<br>
“We need you to make a few more copies.”<br>
“Janet’s father wants her to go to Harvard.”<br>
“I would like the boss to see these reports.”<br>
“He persuaded me to marry him.”<br>
“They taught me (how) to work the photocopier.”<br>
We often use infinitives as object complements in reported speech to express what someone said to or asked of someone. For example:<br>
“He asked me to help him.”<br>
“She told me not to answer the phone.”<br>
Gerunds vs. Infinitives<br>
Certain verbs can take either gerunds or infinitives as direct objects. In some cases, this results in no difference in meaning. For example:<br>
Infinitive<br>
Gerund<br>
“I like to hike on the weekend.”<br>
“I like hiking on the weekend.”<br>
“She loves to read.”<br>
“She loves reading.”<br>
“They hate to get bad news.”<br>
“They hate getting bad news.”<br>
“I prefer to go out on a Friday than to stay at home.”<br>
“I prefer going out on a Friday than staying at home.”<br>
In other instances, however, the meaning of the clause is significantly changed as a result. For instance, the verbs remember, forget, try, and stop can have both infinitives and gerunds as direct objects, but the meaning changes depending on which is used. For example<br>
Infinitive<br>
Gerund<br>
“I remembered to close the window.” (I didn’t forget to do it.)<br>
“I remember closing the window.” (I clearly recall it.)<br>
“I forgot to meet John earlier.” (I didn’t remember to do it.)<br>
“I forget meeting John earlier.” (I don’t remember this fact even though it happened.)<br>
“Try to get some rest.” (Attempt to do this.)<br>
“Try getting some rest.” (Try this as a possible solution to the problem.)<br>
“I stopped to drink water before bed.” (I interrupted what I was doing to drink water.)<br>
“I stopped drinking water before bed.” (I don’t drink water before bed anymore.)<br>
Predicate nouns<br>
Predicate nouns are a subset of a larger category known as subject complements (including predicate pronouns and predicative adjectives), which rename or re-identify the subject after a linking verb (usually a form of the verb be). For example:<br>
“All I want is to be left alone.”<br>
“The best thing in life is to spend time with those you love.”<br>
“The best we can hope for is to break even.”<br>
Infinitives as adjectives<br>
When infinitives are used as adjectives, they function in a similar way to relative clauses (also known as adjective clauses), providing more information about a noun or pronoun that they appear directly after. For example:<br>
“This is a good place to start reading.” (To start reading modifies the noun place.)<br>
“Give your brother something to play with.” (To play with modifies the pronoun something.)<br>
“Find a friend to help you study.” (To help you study modifies the noun friend.)<br>
Infinitives as adverbs<br>
We can also use infinitives as adverbs to modify the main verb in a sentence, describing a reason why an action is, was, or will be done. Infinitives used in this way are often known as infinitives of purpose. For example:<br>
“I started running to improve my health.”<br>
We can also use the phrases in order and so as to add formal emphasis to an infinitive of purpose, as in:<br>
“We must leave now in order to catch our train.”<br>
“He’s been studying all week so as to improve his grades.”<br>
Note that we do not use the preposition for before the infinitive; we only use for with a noun or noun phrase to create a prepositional phrase that modifies the verb to describe its purpose. Consider, for example, these three sentences:<br>
“I went to the supermarket to buy some bread.” (correct—infinitive phrase)<br>
“I went to the supermarket for some bread.” (correct—prepositional phrase)<br>
I went to the supermarket for to buy some bread.” (incorrect—preposition used with infinitive phrase)<br>
Lone infinitives<br>
We can also use infinitives in this way as isolated responses to questions asking why something is done or is the case. For example:<br>
Speaker A: “Why are you going to New York?”<br>
Speaker B: “To see the Empire State Building.”<br>
Speaker A: “Why did you turn on the TV?”<br>
Speaker B: “To watch the news.”<br>
These responses are known as elliptical sentences, meaning that part of the sentence has been omitted because it is implied. In this case, the implied section is “because I wanted… .” As this element is implicitly understood, we often leave it out entirely and simply use the infinitive on its own.<br>
Infinitives vs. Base Forms (Bare Infinitives)<br>
The base form of a verb is simply the infinitive without the particle to—like an infinitive, it is uninflected for tense and person. Because of this similarity, the base form of a verb is often known as a bare infinitive, and some grammar guides and writers make little distinction between the two forms.<br>
However, infinitives and base-form verbs function differently, so it is important to distinguish between them. An infinitive can be used in a sentence as a noun, an adverb, or an adjective, but it cannot act as a true verb that expresses the action of a subject.<br>
The base form of a verb, on the other hand, can be used in conjunction with the auxiliary verb do to become negative or to form questions. They are also used with modal auxiliary verbs to express things like possibility, necessity, obligation and permission, as well as to create the simple future tense.<br>
Verbs that take bare infinitives<br>
The base form is also used after the direct object of certain action verbs, such as let, help, and make, as well as after verbs of the senses, such as hear, see, and feel.<br>
Let’s look at some examples of these below. The bare infinitives (base forms) are in bold, while the main verbs are underlined and the direct objects are italicized:<br>
“Please let me go to the party, mom.” (Please give me permission to go.)<br>
“His father makes him study.” (His father forces him to study.)<br>
“Jack is helping me clean the garage.” (Jack is cleaning the garage with me.)<br>
“He heard me shout.” (He could that I was shouting.)<br>
“I saw her look in my direction.” (I could see that she was looking in my direction.)<br>
“I felt him touch my arm.” (I could feel that he touched my arm.)<br>
(Note that these are not the only verbs that can be followed by bare infinitives.)<br>
After had better<br>
The base forms of verbs are also used after the phrase had better, which acts like the modal verb should to suggest a required or desirable action. For example:<br>
“You had better clean this up before your father gets home.”<br>
“I think we’d better go home soon.”<br>
After why<br>
Bare infinitives can also follow the word why to form questions, as in:<br>
“Why study when I already know the material by heart?”<br>
“Why watch TV when we could play outside?”<br>
These types of questions are called elliptical, which, as we saw above, means that part of the sentence has been left out because it is implied. The full questions might read:<br>
“Why should I study when I already know the material by heart?”<br>
“Why would we watch TV when we could play outside?”<br>
Since the italicized parts of these sentences can be implied, they are sometimes left out entirely.<br>

The Mathematics Olympiad activity was undertaken by NBHM from 1986 onwards and is currently run in collaboration with the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, Mumbai. One main purpose of this activity is to support mathematical talent among high school students in the country. NBHM has taken on the responsibility for selecting and training the Indian team for participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad every year. While NBHM coordinates and supports Mathematics Olympiad contests all over the country, regional bodies, mostly voluntary, play an important role at different stages. For the purpose of administering Mathematics Olympiad contests, the country has been divided in 16 regions. A regional coordinator is responsible for conducting these tests in each region. The names of the regions and their respective regional coordinators are given at the end.General Information about Mathematics ContestsThe Mathematics Olympiad Programme leading to participation in the International Mathematical Olympiad consists of the following stages: Stage 1: Regional Mathematical Olympiad (RMO)RMO is held in each region normally between September and the first Sunday of December each year. The regional coordinator ensures that at least one centre is provided in each district of the region. All high school students up to class XII are eligible to appear for RMO. RMO is a 3-hour written test containing about 6 to 7 problems. Each regional coordinator has the freedom to prepare his/her own question paper or to obtain the question paper from NBHM. The regions opting for the NBHM question paper hold this contest on the 1st Sunday of December. On the basis of the performance in RMO, a certain number of students from each region are selected to appear for the second stage. Regional coordinators charge nominal fees to meet the expenses for organizing the contests. Stage 2: Indian National Mathematical Olympiad (INMO)INMO is held on the first Sunday of February each year at various Centres in different regions. Only students selected on the basis of RMO from different regions are eligible to appear for INMO. INMO is a 4-hour written test. The question paper is set centrally and is common throughout the country. The top 30-35 performers in INMO receive a certificate of merit. Stage 3: International Mathematical Olympiad Training Camp (IMOTC)The INMO certificate awardees are invited to a month long training camp (junior batch) conducted in May-June, each year. In addition, INMO awardees of the previous year that have satisfactorily gone through postal tuition throughout the year are invited again for a second round of training (senior batch). Stage 4: International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO)The team selected at the end of the camp, a "leader" and a "deputy leader," represent India at the IMO that is normally held in July in a different member country of IMO each year. The leader and deputy leader are chosen by NBHM from among mathematics teachers/researchers involved in the Mathematics Olympiad activity. IMO consists of two written tests held on two days with a gap of at least one day. Each test is of four-and-a-half-hours duration. Travel to IMO venue and return takes about two weeks. India has been participating in IMO since 1989. Students of the Indian team who receive gold, silver and bronze medals at IMO receive a cash prize of Rs. 5,000/-, Rs. 4,000/- and Rs. 3,000/- respectively, from NBHM during the following year at a formal ceremony at the end of the training camp.The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) finances international travel of the eight-member Indian delegation connected with international participation. NBHM finances the entire in-country programme and takes care of other expenditureStudents aiming for selection for participation in IMO should note that RMO is the first essential step for the programme. To appear for RMO, students should get in touch with the RMO co-ordinator of their region well in advance, for enrolment and payment of a nominal fee.Syllabus for Mathematics OlympiadsThe syllabus for Mathematics Olympiads (regional, national and international) is pre-degree college mathematics. The areas covered are: number systems, arithmetic of integers, geometry, quadratic equations and expressions, trigonometry, co-ordinate geometry, systems of linear equations, permutations and combinations, factorisation of polynomials, inequalities, elementary combinatorics, probability theory, number theory, infinite series, complex numbers and elementary graph theory. The syllabus does not include calculus and statistics. The typical areas for problems are: number theory, geometry, algebra and combinatorics. The syllabus is in a sense spread over class IX to class XII levels, but the problems under each topic are of an exceptionally high level in difficulty and sophistication. The difficulty level increases from RMO to INMO to IMO. A good idea of what is expected of students in Mathematics Olympiads can be had from the following two books: Mathematics Olympiad Primer, by V.Krishnamurthy, C.R.Pranesachar, K.N. Ranganathan and B.J. Venkatachala (Interline Publishing Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore).Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics, by V.Krishnamurthy, C.R.Pranesachar, K.N.Ranganathan and B.J.Venkatachala (New Age International Publishers, New Delhi - 1996).

<p dir="ltr">A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing :</p>
<p dir="ltr">**Last year, I had a surgery and my gall bladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time. </p>
<p dir="ltr">**The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job. I had spent 30 years of my life in this publishing company. </p>
<p dir="ltr">**The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father.</p>
<p dir="ltr">**And in the same year my son failed in his medical exam because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of car was another loss. </p>
<p dir="ltr">At the end he wrote: Alas! It was such bad year !! <br></p>
<p dir="ltr">When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad & lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper. She left the room silently and came back with another paper and placed it on side of her husband's writing.</p>
<p dir="ltr">When the writer saw this paper, he found his name written on it with following lines :</p>
<p dir="ltr">**Last year I finally got rid of my gall bladder due to which I had spent years in pain....</p>
<p dir="ltr">**I turned 60 with sound health and got retired from my job. Now I can utilize my time to write something better with more focus and peace.....</p>
<p dir="ltr">**The same year my father, at the age of 95, without depending on anyone or without any critical condition met his Creator.....</p>
<p dir="ltr"> **The same year, God blessed my son with a new life. My car was destroyed but my son stayed alive without getting any disability......</p>
<p dir="ltr">At the end she wrote: </p>
<p dir="ltr">This year was an immense blessing of God and it passed well !!!</p>
<p dir="ltr"> The writer was indeed happy and amazed at such beautiful and encouraging interpretation of the happenings in his life in that year !!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Moral : In daily lives we must see that its not happiness that makes us grateful but grate-fulness that makes us happy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">To all my lovely friends ....</p>
<p dir="ltr">Think positive.....<br>
Be happy...<br>
Stay Blessed.<br>

<h2>
The
application of the 2010 RTE Act leaves much to be desired. But the
initiatives at the primary school in Bada Lewa village, Uttar Pradesh,
inspires optimism. </h2>
</div>
<div class="body">
They call it tracking. A
group of 12-year-old students of the Primary School in Village Bada
Lewa, Hamirpur, walk into their village during school hours, looking for
children who are enrolled but have not been coming to school regularly.
They will counsel the parents and get the children to attend school
regularly and offer support and solutions where required. The word
‘tracking’ is now part of their everyday vocabulary.</div>
<div class="body">
On
one such tracking mission, Jyoti, Dharam, Gomti and three others have a
list of five absentee students whose homes they will visit. They run
into seven-year-old Anjali, wearing her school shirt and balancing her
younger sister on her hip. Jyoti takes the lead in confronting Anjali’s
grandfather who is sitting in the verandah.</div>
<div class="body">
“Dadaji, why haven’t you sent Anjali to school today?”</div>
<div class="body">
“It is harvesting month. Anjali’s mother is away in the fields. She has to look after her younger sister.”</div>
<div class="body">
“Dadaji,
Anjali will miss too much in school and then she won’t be able to catch
up. Why don’t you handle the baby till the mother returns?”</div>
<div class="body">
“I can’t handle the baby.”</div>
<div class="body">
“You
are our elder, Dadaji,” Jyoti reasons. “Anjali is still a small child.
She needs to be regular in school. Please help her to go.”</div>
<div class="body">
“Whose child are you?” the old man asks, trying to place Jyoti.</div>
<div class="body">
She
names her father. She tells him where her home is. One of the boys in
the group is patting the buffalo. Eventually the elderly man asks his
grandchild to run along to school. He nods approvingly at the children,
who seem to be ushering in a new age in the village. The children move
on to the next home on their list.</div>
<div class="body">
This
government-run Primary School in Hamirpur district in Uttar Pradesh is
one of the eight per cent of schools in India that comply with most of
the norms and standards stipulated in the RTE Act. The RTE Act that came
into being on April 1, 2010, casts a legal obligation on the Central
and State Governments to implement the fundamental right of children to
free and compulsory education. It lays down detailed guidelines for the
development of curriculum, training of teachers and pupil-teacher
ratios. Furthermore, it emphasises child-centric and child-friendly
learning and an environment that is free of fear, trauma and anxiety for
children. It has been exactly five years since the RTE Act came into
being, and only a fraction of its promise has been fulfilled across the
country.</div>
<div class="body">
Even that fraction throws up impressive
statistics: 110 million children are served meals in the mid-day meal
scheme making it the world’s largest school-feeding programme; 199
million children are in schools and studying. A study by the Azim Premji
Foundation, quoted in the report released by the RTE Forum recently,
shows that in semi-urban and rural areas, the belief that private school
education is better than government schools is a myth. This was
reflected in the experience of the parents in this village in Hamirpur
too.</div>
<div class="body">
Gurudayal is the President of the School
Management Committee in the Bada Lewa school. This committee comprises
parents, teachers, elected members of local government and educationists
or NGO workers from the area. They meet once a month to oversee the
infrastructure and administrative needs of the school.</div>
<div class="body">
Gurudayal
contrasts the present scene in the school where children of all castes
sit together, as they are served meals, to a decade ago when the Dalit
teacher in the school was not even allowed to sit on a chair throughout
the day. He reiterates that parents in the village have taken their
children out of local private schools and enrolled them in the
government school because the quality of education has improved
tremendously. “Don’t even ask me about the time when I was studying in
this school,” he says. “Times have changed dramatically now.”</div>
<div class="body">
Just
like the School Management Committee is a voluntary body of adults, all
the children of the primary school are members of a Bal Panchayat that
meets once a month to discuss their issues. The students who go tracking
in the morning are leaders of the Bal Panchayat. Aided by their
teachers and trained in workshops conducted by Samarth Foundation, an
NGO based in Hamirpur, these children are encouraged to be assertive and
proactive about addressing and fulfilling their needs.</div>
<div class="body">
Jyoti
Devi and Gomti Devi are President and Vice President respectively of
the Bal Panchayat. They have travelled to Lucknow to attend workshops
organised by Oxfam where they learnt how to set agendas and follow up
issues when they conduct meetings. Other posts include Education
Minister, Cleanliness Minister and Mid-day Meal Minister.</div>
<div class="body">
The
students make a list of infrastructural needs like a broken tap and an
open window that needs the panes restored. They reiterate the four
rights of children as laid down by the Convention for the Rights of
Children and talk about the duties and responsibilities of students in
the school.</div>
<div class="body">
Spending time in the school and village
of Bada Lewa inspires an optimism for the outcomes that are possible
when parents, teachers, local authorities, non-government and state
agencies come together on a small scale to invest in making quality
education a reality for their own children. Almost everyone in Bada Lewa
village has a version of the before and ever since RTE norms have been
enforced in this primary school.</div>
<div class="body">
The nationwide
scorecard on implementing the RTE Act leaves much to be desired. Six
million children are still out of schools and 75 per cent of them belong
to Dalit, tribal and Muslim communities. The most deprived and
marginalised communities have received the least benefits. Half the
children who enrol in schools still drop out before Std. X.</div>
<div class="body">
Deepak
Xavier leads the Haq Banta Hai Campaign at Oxfam India that is
campaigning for full implementation of the RTE Act along with the RTE
Forum. “Education is the greatest equaliser against inequality. By
ensuring full implementation of the RTE Act, we can achieve both quality
education for all children and a reduction in inequality,” he says.</div>
<div class="body">
India
is going to be the world’s youngest country by 2020. The Kothari
Commission recommended in 1966 that public spending on education needs
to be at least six per cent of the GDP in 20 years. Today, nearly after
50 years of accepting this recommendation, public spending on education
has been stagnant at three per cent for the last 15 years.</div>
<div class="body">
The
RTE Act is substantial and well thought out but it needs the will of
the state and sustained resources to be implemented to its full
potential. The children of Bada Lewa village, tucked away between the
Yamuna and Betwa in Bundelkhand, are a fine example of how empowering
and well received the benefits of the RTE Act are.</div>
<div class="body">
When
asked if they are scared of speaking up before their teachers,
12-year-old Dharam Singh, says in a small voice, “Yes, I am.” After a
pause, he adds, “But our teacher says, ‘Don’t be scared of me. I have no
right to hurt you. I will not hurt you’.”</div>
