4. OBSERVATIONS (DO)
- Students are competitive instead of cooperative.
- Syllabus of schools are not designed to make students live
happier.
- Parents are anxious about the sate of affairs in education.
- Socially conscious citizens are worried about the increasing
divide between private and public institutions.
- Government is indifferent. Not strictly ensuring the
accountability of teachers.

5. INFERENCES (Think and Feel)
- Passionate government teachers don’t have proper resources to teach
children. Lack of infrastructure and basic amenities. No access to
technology is provided from government for teachers. Some teachers are
investing their personal money.
- Most government teachers reluctant to adopt technology.
- Learning new things are time consuming and are not user friendly for
those who are not technologically inclined.
- Gap between government and private institutions can be reduced by
leveraging technology.
- New low cost Technological products should be designed for the sake of
government schools.

6. INFERENCES (Think and Feel)
- Power supply is a problem in villages. New products designed
should consume very low energy.
- New products designed for schools should be user friendly.
Teachers should not spend much in learning about the interface.
- Administration structure should be revamped to held people
responsible.
- Teachers should infuse enthusiasm in students to learn new things.
- Government teachers who show passion and use technology for
student enrichment should be properly rewarded by Government.

7. STAKEHOLDERS
- Badri (Indian) is a 35 year old father of 10 year old child.
Working in a government institution and worried about lack
of morals in present day ‘Moral stories’.
- Marisamy (Indian) is a angry socially responsible citizen.
Middle aged and talkative. Ready to punch the government
on the nose. Worried about the increasing divide.
- Anand (Indian) is athletic and middle aged teacher. He is a
passionate government teacher. Worried about lack of access
to high cost educational technology for poor students.

8. INSIGHT
- Teachers not aware of low cost educational technologies
available. Ex:- K-Yan community based computer. It can even
run with a car battery where power supply is a problem.
http://k-yan.com/
- A huge database is required to be created about low cost
educational products. This database should be made available
to teachers and widely published. For example low cost smart
board with the help of wii remote and IR pen.
- http://www.wiimoteproject.com/
- User friendly low cost technology should be used for
leveraging gap between private and public institutions.

9. PROBLEM STATEMENT
- Creation of user friendly, low cost technological
products for government schools. These products
should kindle enthusiasm in students to learn new
things and make studying fun. These products should
be affordable, easy to use and master by teachers.
These products should level the playing ground
between have and have not.
