The Arts don’t really lend themselves to the Internet very well. There’s a lot of theory involved and considerable amount of regional knowledge being developed (or uncovered, as the case may be). Most of the theoretical knowledge that is createdin Arts subjects comes from the western world. Subjects like Sociology and Psychology find their foundations in the theories of scholars who were/are either American or European. Obviously, this means that given the information technology leap that they have over other nations, their texts and study materials can be easily found online.

COMMERCE
Commerce is a mix of theoretical and practical subjects. Accounts, taxation and statitics are practical, whereas othersubjects such as economics, business organisation and management are theoretical innature. Most of the information available on the web is either in the form of new or research journals. Besides reference books, online libraries like www.questia.com allow you to view books online, but for the price of a subscription fee. Let’s take a look at what commerce students can use online…
ENGINEERING
Engineers build nations. In fact, once you cross the boundaries of conventional thinking, the potential is limitless. At the far end of imagination, science fiction wirters dream of planetary and stellar engineers in our galactic future. But i will leave exploring the educational resources here only.
MATHEMATICS
Mathematic is probably the toughest subject for any high school student, dunce or genius. Here’s a listing and review of some of the good maths sites on the interent. There’s mention of one page where you can find more links. Use some of or all these sites to amply supplement your textbook and your classwork.
GEOGRAPHY and CIVICS
As in history, geography, too, should ideally be learnt such that one gains a perspective on things instead of just learning facts. This chapter encourages you to develop one. In addition, we present a few sites that can help you with your civics.
HISTORY
If you’re a mugger-upper, skip this chapter ! what we’re presenting here will augment what you learn in class. If you’re interested in going beyond class, that is. A real grasp on history cannot be had from one textbook or even three-hence this chapter, for those who keen on knowledge.
BIOLOGY
Biology can be fun and no, i don’t mean giggling at all the diagrams. It also pretty unforgiving at exam-time-fudge the name of an enzyme or relocate body parts in a diagram and you’ll be looking at generously awarded zeros on your paper. If your textbooks are boring(ofcourse they are), you can turn to the web for a more fun way to learn about life, the Universe and Everything.
CHEMISTRY
Chemistry is a royal pain for many. Neverthless, it doesn’t cease to fascinate. Some of the most important discoveries of the twentieth century had a strong basis in chemistry. OK, you may not be aspiring to hte height of anew discovery, but you do wantto get a handle on the subject, enough to score well in your exams ! Whatever be your need, whether you’re a lab rat or just looking for better study material-this collection of links will give you all the info you need.
PHYSICS
Physics is a challenging subject, probably next only to maths. Exams are typically at least 50 percent problem-oriented, and a student needs all the help he can get with the concepts required to solve them and sometimes, a text book is not enough. Presented here are sites that increase your understanding of physics, whether for your exam preparation or for the sake of interest… comming soon.
Introduction !! Back To School !!!
Welcome to Student’s Web. After spending lots of time on internet, i have collected some indenspenseble educational websites, that would bring your attention the simplest fact that the Web can educate and more specificly I have tried to point students from 8th standard kids right to those in engineering coleges, for example – to useful sites that can complement their text book reading. And perhaps most important i am trying to encourage school students to go beyond what their school textbooks tell them, and develop a broader perspective on the world. Yes, Education is all about increasing your awareness.
As you move around, you will find some sites are strictly functional. They can help you with your exams. Some are broader, adn should be given a look in the terest of developing a holistic perspective on things.
Go ahead, explore what the web has to offerin terms of free education and don’t forget to commet here if you manager to impress your teachers !!
Happy Learning….2008
