My Smart Plan for Creating Awareness about   Important Issues                                                                                             My concern is to use the wonders of technology for the betterment and enrichment of human society. My Smart Plan ia based on the same objective that how rich soaftware and hardware resources can increase our understanding and can also effect our feelings, emotions and attitude in a desired manner. By preparing a Smart Plan teacher can easily achieve his goal and objectives . Smart Planning can sensitize students regarding social, political and economic problem of the country or of the world. It can be used to create awareness about the important health issues which otherwise are very dry to talk about and need strong audio-video presentation to touch the heart of the student and at the same time make work his mental faculties also .While thinking about all this I tried to develop a Smart Plan for creating awareness about Indoor Alr Pollution. The Plan gives link to the various educational websites which make clear the concept and meaning of AIP, uses wikipedia for detailed information. The impact of biological contaminants on health is tried to be explained by video, showcasing the effects of black mold on our health, this video can be used to sensitize students for maintaining cleanliness at home and outside and at the same time can be used to develop in them the sense of appreciation towards a healthy life. The next video is about the effect of smoke in general and about cigarette smoking in particular, this video will help students to know about ill effects of smoking and will discourage smoking inside and outside the house. It also makes the topic multidisciplinary by discussing biology, physiology and chemistry of  the consequences of smoking. Music, animations and images are used to create awareness about the solutions of this grave problem which will promote a sense of cleanliness among students and will also motivate them to plant indoor and outdoor plants. Finally we can invite students to create awareness about the same topic among the masses through the fastest source of information dissemination, "The Internet" by using its synchronous and asynchronous resources. What required is the thoughtful planning and the meaningful use of web-resources when and where required.Here I present my Smart Plan for Indoor Air Pollution and a glog which is based on the same. While preparing this plan many techno-skills can also be developed in a  teacher who are not very techno-savvy.
