Introduction

Within Asian and Hindu literature like the literature of other cultures, we often find the values, morality, and principles of proper or right human conduct values by such cultures. From the writings of Confucius to the Noh plays to the epic Ramayana, we see such principles illustrated as a means of helping human beings live a harmonious, peaceful, and moral life.

As a whole Asian literature is a compact of ideas wherein culture, belief,religion, and values collide. This can be reflected from the different writers or authors all over Asia who wants to share thier views, ides, emotion through different literary pieces.

However, this may not be enough to serve as your reference yet this could probabaly help you to get a hint on what to do and what to read.

Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Technology is significant affecting humans ability to control and adopt to their natural environment.This the product of the never ending development in our society. Indeed technology has helped develop more advanced economies and has allowed the rise of a leisure class.How educational technology differ from technology?Well,as a philosophical debate arises over the present and future use of technology in our society. The positive aspects of this is the advancement of using technology while on the negative side with regard to our societies notion is on "how?when?where?and why use technology.either way it depends on every individuals way of using technology to be specific educational technology tackles about academic research and gathering information on systems and historical database that have altered the storage and use information in the classrooms. 

This allow the student immense amount of text,illustration,audio and video on interactive videodiscs to be more productive.On the other hand,Inappropriate used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be "plugged into computers" to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures. Both of these have their place, but such use does not begin to tap the power of these new tools.

In this area, you will find descriptions of how computers can be used to stimulate and develop writing skills, collaborate with peers in foreign countries, do authentic kinds of research that is valuable to the adult world, and do complex kinds of problem solving that would otherwise be impossible.

Hi bevs, nice thoughts. However, I noticed that you have emphasized the impact of technology more on the society and economy rather than pointing it to the actual classroom setting. I am expecting you to relate technology on the learning process of the students.
