Business Online

One day at Startup Village, Sebastian Panakal connected us to Joe Louis by Skype. He is a Dubai businessman from Trichur, Kerala. He runs a very reputed company Galaxy Groups in UAE! He is an award winner too!!


All of us talked to him. At that time, Ashwathy canvassed an order from him for Prawn Pickle. 

From this business, we learned the need of PAN Card, Corporation's License, Current Account, Export license, Food and Drug license etc. We already applied for PAN Card, and decided to open current account with Federal Bank and all


Today, I connected with him. As a friendly talk, he asked me where is your home? I told near Cherai Beach. At that time he gave me a task that he need a beach front property there. Now I am focusing on this task.


 Social Networking has very definite advantages.  Thanks to Skype and the free social software........

Hello Little World Skypers

Sebastian Panakal connected me with his Personal Learning Network: Hello Little World Skypers. Now I am a member of HLW Skypers.

HLW Skypers is a network of many global teachers famous for social and educational activism.

This opened floodgates of opportunities for me to connect and collaborate with them. It is also a learning adventure for me.

I made many relations because I am very interested in making relations globally. In this way I can also improve my language as well as my knowledge.



One day, I am connected with Katherine Zablatnik. She asked me what was my breakfast? I answered 'Puttu'. I failed to explain what is 'Puttu' and how can it prepare. At that moment I decided to demonstrate online cooking of 'Puttu' for her. This will lead me to become an online entrepreneur also.

Another day, I got some online work - that of making a quiz on American football for ovoidstudios.I was not familiar to Google forms and flubaroo to make my quiz. Then I made my quiz successfully with the help of Joe McNulty, a computer teacher and Reinhard Marx , a teacher in Germany.


Reinhard Marx gave me an opportunity to teach his students in Maths. As I am a graduate in Maths, I decided to teach his students by online tutions. And he also gave me another opportunity to teach his students Hindi also.


Now I am on multiple projects - Work as an Online Cookery trainer, online company contracting work from OvoidStudios, online tuitions to school students....

GeoGebra @ Guardian Angels' Public School

Sebastian Panakal was introduced to Fr. Nixon, Principal of Guardian Angels' Public School. He is very interested on taking schools to 21st century skills. He made his presentation very well.

After that, I and Ashwathy spoke to the audience. We invited the school to GeoGebra.

Urifah ridlol, an English teacher in Indonesia. Her students are 3rd grader of elementary school. She wanted her students for a global collaboration. And she also wanted to practice their English with the people outside using Skype.

We have teachers ready with their students waiting to start using Skype from home and school.

Ashwathy has invited students from Indonesia to present their cultural skills to Guardian Angels Public School. It will be our first global collaborative class.



GeoGebra - A Blessing

  A Women empowerment project of GeoGebra Institute of Kerala. Dedicated online learning and teaching centres where communities of practice come together to create wealth and share using 21st centuries skills and social software. WOW! stands for Women of WIKI (What I Know Is)

   
 I came to know about GeoGebra study centre at Startup Village by a newspaper Malayala Manorama. Visiting the website of  Startup Village, I  learned of a new project. I decided to explore.

 My Cousin Ashwathy is equally adventurous. Together we watched the pitch presentation on the ceremony at Startup Village by Sebastian  Panakal, 


 Chairperson, GeoGebra Institute of Kerala. He also runs social networking homes which connects people online, work, play, learn, earn.

Ashwathy and I attended the seminar. We are excited by the opportunities in hyperspace. We never knew of all these opportunities and we decided to dive.

I decided to set up my own WOW! GeoGebra!! centre at the metropolitan city itself.
