| It’s time to Dump The Big Six – Ecotricity’s New Mantra Posted: 10 Feb 2012 09:47 AM PST Looks like global awareness regarding environmental problems and their adverse effects is growing among people. The first country to initiate a change in this aspect is the United Kingdom. The government of UK has set up a unique company called Ecotrocity which makes use of money spent on the bills paid by people in Eco friendly activities.  Ecotricity - Dump The Big Six They are trying to spread this message through all possible media including social networking sites like Facebook and YouTube. In fact it is very fascinating to see this being demonstrated in a cute way. If you open their official page on YouTube or Facebook you will see personified cooling towers collapsing. Hope this inspires the other countries too and soon we have an Eco friendly world. Collapsing Cooling Towers: The Big Six (British Gas, EDF Energy, E.ON, Npower, Scottish & Southern, Scottish Power) have long enjoyed a carbon-fuelled chokehold the UK's energy, supplying 99% of customers. But is their grip crumbling?

| Let Your Kid Learn It The Social Way! Posted: 10 Feb 2012 09:12 AM PST Gone are the days when people depended only on traditional books and libraries for good education. Now good education includes the apt use of social media along with the regular sources of education. In recent times there has been a rapid increase in the use of social media by schools and colleges all over the world.
Now how are these used by educational institutions? Let's find out! Schools use Facebook and Twitter like platforms to make official announcements instead of sending in circulars as usual. Not only this… these have also become the places where learning material is shared and made use of. It becomes more of fun learning than the usual monotonous classroom teaching. I'm sure many of the young kids out there completely agree with me. The best way to adopt this method it by making sure the online environment is totally controlled by a teacher. You should also make sure that there are attractive features to keep the students hooked. To achieve all this we need someone who understands social media and can prevent its misuse. Some Universities in the west have already started using social media as a mode of teaching. Harvard University, John Hopkins University and Ohio University are a few worth mentioning. So next time your kid is using Twitter or Facebook don't panic! Just make sure he does it the right way! Infographic by onlineuniversities.com. Hope you love to read these too |
