New Delhi , March 4

TWENTY-FIVE Kendriya Vidyalayas (KV) have joined the pilot project of Oracle's Think.com programme in the country. This was announced by Oracle India Pvt Ltd (Oracle India), the wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, here on Thursday.

After running a successful small pilot in two government schools in Haryana and West Bengal in 2003, Think.com has now been introduced in 25 Kendriya Vidyalayas nominated by the Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan, their apex management body. Fifteen schools in Delhi and 10 in Bangalore have joined the pilot project. A group of 25 teacher-administrators — one from each of the participating schools — has successfully been trained on integrating Think.com into the teaching and learning activities.

Think.com is an Oracle-hosted, global, Web-based educational environment and is designed for students aged between 7 and 14. It enables students and teachers to create, communicate and collaborate, providing them with personal Web pages, along with powerful communication and collaboration tools at no cost.

Think.com is a part of Oracle's Education Initiatives, aimed at catalysing learning at all levels of education.
