The document discusses the concept of "digital natives" and "digital immigrants". It argues that today's students think and process information differently compared to the past due to growing up with technology. It suggests educators need to develop teaching methods tailored for digital natives that incorporate more technology and interactivity, rather than expecting students to adapt to traditional teaching styles. The document also addresses concerns about students' attention spans, arguing their spans are not actually short but that students choose not to pay attention in traditional settings that lack interactivity.

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

4. Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants The Natives have grown up surrounded by and using digital tools . Without these tools they cannot do everyday tasks. Digital Natives are our teenagers. In my opinion, SMP and below for National Plus schools are pure Digital Natives. We are the Digital Immigrants .
7. Should the Digital Native students learn the old ways, or should their Digital Immigrant educators learn the new? What do you think? So what should happen?
8. We need to invent Digital Native methodologies for all subjects, at all levels, using our students to guide us. Marc Prensky
11. The brain constantly reorganizes itself all our child and adult lives, a phenomenon technically known as neuroplasticity.
12. Linear thought processes that dominate educational systems now can actually retard learning for brains developed through game and Web-surfing processes on the computer. Children raised with the computer - think differently from the rest of us. They develop hypertext minds. They leap around. It’s as though their cognitive structures were parallel, not sequential.
13. What About Attention Spans? We hear teachers complain so often about the Digital Natives’ attention spans - is it really true? Sure they have short attention spans - for the old ways of learning, says a professor. Traditional schooling provides very little of this compared to the rest of their world. Their attention spans are not short for games or for anything else that actually interests them. Digital Natives crave interactivity — an immediate response to their each and every action. So it generally isn’t that Digital Natives can’t pay attention, it’s that they choose not to.

19. How I have tried to accommodate Prensky’s theory in my teaching practice. What’s a blog? Two classes two blogs 60,000 kilometers apart ...
