From the The White House Hello everyone, The very best person to talk to about how modern technology is changing our classrooms isn't me, or even the President. It's a student who is actually learning from those tools every day -- accessing school assignments online, watching video lessons to learn a new concept, or even talking directly with other students around the world with new technology. That's why, a few months ago, the White House challenged students all across the country to create short films answering a simple question: Why is technology so important in the classroom -- and how will it change the educational experience for kids in the future? The response was overwhelming. And today, the 16 official selections are going to be screened at the first-ever White House Student Film Festival. You're going to want to tune in for this one. Watch the official selections, then tune in today at 2:30 p.m. ET. Watch Now Today's going to be a fun day, but this event speaks to something much bigger. That's because these students' films all illustrate the critical conversation about education in our country right now: the importance of connecting our classrooms. The fact is that right now, only around 30 percent of our students have the high-speed Internet access they need for digital learning. That means millions of kids across the country aren't currently benefiting from the kinds of technologies that made the student films you'll watch today possible. The President's ConnectED initiative is making sure that changes -- by connecting 99 percent of students to next-generation, high-speed broadband within five years. Want to see exactly why that's so important? Just take a look at some of the incredible things kids can produce when they're connected. See the official film festival selections, then make sure you're watching the event at 2:30 p.m. ET today. Looking forward to continuing the conversation, Secretary Arne Duncan Department of Education

Millions of Pakistani's are worried for work and Income, They are not able to find good work, and many have been misguided that Internet based work is only fraud. Thus we created Rehan www.RehanTasks.com a website that allow's ANYONE to work in there spare time, and get an experience that yes THEY CAN also do work via the internet for customers around the world. If you know anyone who can take advantage from this, DO SHARE about this with them. I Guarantee that they WILL Be paid via it, but yes like anything new, they will need to spend time on it to understand how it works. There are other international places to do the same, but they do not make payments in Pakistan, and nor do they advertise in Pakistan, that is why we created another one, that makes local payments, and setting up local shops for payments, support and Training. Come weekly in Karachi from 2pm to 3pm Dunkin Doughnut Tipu Sultan Road for Training and Orientation

Life is like having a cup of coffee...we lift the cup take a sip and find no sugar...too lazy to go for the sugar...we some how manage with that sugarless cup...on finishing we discover undissolved sugar crystals settled at the bottom...that's how life is...many a times we tend to take things for granted and not make any effort to value what is around or within us...it's time to look around may be the sweetness we are looking for is closer than we think...effort=action=success Rani Wemel

Many a times our decisions…are influenced by our various inner voices..."it's impossible, says pride"…"it's risky, says experience…"it's pointless, says reason"…but the voice we should pay attention to should be..."GIVE IT A TRY, whispers the heart"…winners are not those who never fail…but those who never quit...nobody can go back and start a new beginning...but anyone can start today...and make a new ending...positive attitude empowers our faith, hope and confidence! Rani Wemel
