	Benefits of using AGE and Weaknesses of of AGE Dedicated to millions of children around the world(+ Mother Earth)
	The Students. The first beneficiaries would be the students. The availability of good multimedia modules that can be run anytime anywhere. The availability to access of software at students own time and convenience is lacking in today's CDs or online flash/Jaya environments. More often than not, students would prefer to read plain old books to ovecome this limitation. With AGE, the students can easily copy the modules from school or download the modules from the Internet with ease to use them at their own comfort - home or in a library. Students can now make use of the avaiable software and contents in the library or resource center for free. With the ease of getting the software, studetnts would be able to learn at much faster speed. Saves students lots of money having to pay for photocopies of homework. For more read below Start using AGE in school see videos Your school can now use AGE with projectors in classes. AGE would complement those given by the Ministry of Education. We know for sure, software runs out very fast and more often than not cannot be transferred back to students' homes to use. AGE can easily be used in class and students' homes. Just copy and paste the folders containing the modules that's all. AGE does not need Internet connections to use. So they are very useful and cheap to use. For the first time rural students will have tools and contents to improve their grades, able to pronounce proper English, able to improve on their Mathematics and lots of books to read. These are only the beginners as more publishers get into converting their contents into AGE formats or teachers exchanging contents nationally and globally. These are all coming. Join now the AGE project. To close the digital divide among nations and urban/rural areas We are currently producing educational modules and tools that will make teaching much easier and more efficient ( see benefits) and allow difficult to reach areas to have equal access to AGE modules. To save the trees - Mothers of all environment protectors We need to lessen the economic forces of felling trees for papers globally. To do that we need to be proactive to reduce the use of papers in schools among hundreds of millions of children in schools. Together there would be an impact. It requires very little individual efforts to get this going on sustainable basis, unlike other environmental friendly projects where individual and political wills are required. Here we use a better and more efficient and cheaper way to learn. It is able to reach rural areas cheaply bringing with it lots of economic benefits to all. Join us in this effort. Just spread the word around. Raising teachers to the next level We hope to raise teachers to the next level - nationally and globally - to be able to create digital self correcting homework with ease using "practical tech" not "high tech" without the need to be ICT savvy nor the need to pay thousands for overpowered tools teachers find difficult to master and impractical to use. Easy availability of contents make learning super fast speed Try out our paperless solution and you would be amazed how a simple tool and lots of ready simple modules will change the way you teach. How it is going to help to spare the trees and how third world countries can now digitise their education system without spending a "bomb". No need for broadband!! No broadband to continue receiving future multimedia modules? No worry. AGE's multimedia modules are so small that you do not need broadband to get hours of usage. A few seconds of downloads using ordinary slow dial up can provide hours or days of interactive modules. This is important because throughout the year, new modules would be prepared and these will continue to be delivered/sent to you via Internet or other means. If you live in the most remote areas, you can make use of satellite links for a few seconds of usage. Use hand cranked XO computers with WinXP (coming soon), you do not need electricity! Manufacturers of ULPCs Want to market your ULPCs to the education markets globally? Use AGE as one of the contents and it will be the contents that would be used most of the time. Why? Storage space available in most ULPCs after the OS(e.g. Win XPs) is very limited and without CD Rom drives limits the availabilities of software intuitively accessible to students. Getting from Internet? Well, try that and you would find the options are very limited to the needs of the students and teachers. ULPCs' NAND drives have limited lifespan of 10,000 read/write MTBF and if using AGE with minimal footprint would allow these drives to last much longer. Users of AGE are highly advised to test AGE first for compatibilities, e.g. the drivers, before purchasing ULPCs. We would be putting up a list recommended very soon. Vista machines are not compatible. Ministries of Education We welcome any Ministry of Education around the world to test drive AGE's modules in their schools. Find out 1. how AGE can save hundreds of millions of cost of implementations and new hardware purchases. 2. Why using CDs or online flash will cost you a big sum without any assurance of success even in developed countries 3. how we can really uplift your entire nation's use of ICT in mass Education to the next level deem impossible before. 4. how we can train your teachers to be digital enabled from blackboard/paper based for almost negligible costs. (try this with tradition tools.... you would need hundreds of million of dollars for a small country) 5. how with very little budget you can reach out to the most remote areas you never dream of reaching with available technologies and infrastructures. ... plus many more benefits.

The following are more details of the benefits for good readings.

			Students More computing time for students Currently access to computers in schools are very limited. Schools with about 50 computers. shared by 2000 students, have about 9 minutes of computer time per day per student. It is hardly sufficient when students have 7 to 10 subjects to study. With AGE students can make use of home computers to run their modules. Thousands of home computers where students can have endless hours of computing time, can now be brought into the mainstream of education. Save money and environment When printed or photocopied worksheets have to be used, the cost can be quite substantial. Using AGE paperless homework, students need only two diskettes. When this is applied to many subjects in schools, the amount of money saved can be substantial for students who have to pay for each photocopy. Using less papers means less trees are cut, less papers to fill the landfills or burnt creating more carbon dioxide contributing to global warming after the trees have been cut down. Instant answers Instant answers to the worksheets are provided to students instead of having to wait for teachers to correct the papers which may take weeks( by which time, students would have forgotten about the questions and answers). Gaining knowledge faster through interactive computers through AGE is therefore more convenient, easier and faster. It makes learning much easier. Instant revision Revision of past contents. Months after, these same worksheets can be easily replayed for quick revision. Lighter school bags. With less paper based textbooks, exercise books and workbooks to carry to school makes their school bags much lighter.
			Teachers able to produce easy and straightforward E-Workbooks Producing digital workbooks made simple Most teachers do not have the technical skills to handle state of the art multimedia tools that are available in the market today. Neither do most of them have the resources/skills to create reach multimedia contents. Often times, what teachers require are basic questions and answers with simple graphics and animations. AGE Homework Generator is designed for teachers to create simple, fast and effective questionnaires with instant self correcting capabilities in minutes. For those who are looking for rich, million colored animations like Walt Disney cartoons are in the wrong place here. Teachers save time Correcting manually students' home is time consuming. The AGE's the self correcting homework taken care of. Overcome shortage of teachers Not all teachers are experts in all areas. This is where AGE Homework can greatly help. We shall be posting for global downloads contents done by experts or specialists in their fields.
			Anti Global Project Check out Global Warming reports Let us make a stand and contribute in any minor or major way we can to slow down Global Warming. This project is one of many collective efforts around the world. Read more on how to collaborate with us. Yes, we can talk, talk and talk until the cows come home. Have we asked ourselves what have we done that we can actually do without much effort to give Mother Earth a chance to breathe? Do we have to "walk" to work? Do we have to pay others like buy carbon credits while we still go on doing the "dirty" activities like flying around the world for fun? These are hard questions. We at AGE strongly believe that education is paramount to the solution of getting everyone aware and act on global warming. Where can we start? Our answer is .. our children. Let us cultivate the sense of eco friendliness among them. Let us start with what "dirty" eco unfriendly activities they are doing every day...the massive use of paper in their daily school activities. We are not able to completely dispense with papers in the real sense. We can REDUCE the use of papers in anyway we can. One of these ways is not to use paper based worksheets and use digital electronic homework instead. Children today are very computer savvy, and takes to computers like ants take to sugars. They would save lots of money buying papers for homework, they would learn fast when evaluations are instantaneous and they most important they would learn what being eco friendliness means. Their influence on their parents are more powerful than anything we can bring to bear with advertisements, campaigns etc. If we can make every child in the world avoid using papers for their homework assignments, or reducing usage of mountains of exercise books, then millions of trees will be spared. If we can save just two rims of paper per child per year, we are talking about billions of rims of papers need not be produced and pollute the land fields or burnt to release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere( not to mention the millions of tons of inks, pencils , erasers, and photocopy toners). Do this we can make a difference. In fact, our carbon contribution/credits will be equal or exceed to any other projects in the world. Our call today is to join us in the massive global effort to get schools to go paperless. Let us have your suggestions how you can help....whether with financial rewards or pure voluntary work. We are all ears ....contact us
			Schools/Colleges/tutorial centers Schools, colleges and other institutions of learning will benefit greatly if schools are able to use AGE to implement a paperless homework initiative. It will ease the schools' computer systems because with AGE a lot of computer time can be transferred to student's computer at home which are mostly not used for school work. This will save the schools the need to expand their schools' computer systesm. Performance of students will be better because learning with additional interactive visual aids is far more effective than self study at home where teachers are not at their disposal to guide them. With a major portion of work being taken care of, there should be more happy teachers and teachers who are less stressed by heavy daily workload.
			Distance learning AGE is a good tool to complement many distance learning programs simply because of the ease of creating and downloading of interactive homework modules. Further, in distance learning, tests or objective/subjective questionnaires can be conducted easily. Lecturers can create the questionnaires with or without answers to students. Send them by email to students. Simple multimedia animated modules for better understanding of courseware can be done. The file sizes of the modules created would be very small and easily transmitted or downloaded through the Internet. Coursework would be more efficient and much easier to master.
			Governments and Ministries of education It is recognized that using computer technology in Education are essential parts of education in many countries around the world. Many countries are constructing computer labs in schools and in community projects. The costs of construction are prohibitive not to mention the costs of contents development, to upkeep/ maintain and to provide security for the computers. Billions have been spent. Yet the results? Students are still lugging text books and workbooks. Students, from primary students to university students in spite of the availability of computers are still doing their homework the old fashion way. With the digital self correcting AGE homework modules, the cost of nationwide implementation of computer technology in education would be only a fraction of what other solutions will incur. Further, 1. Saves cost of hardware expenditure by Governments. 2. Saves cost of teachers' training - almost any teacher who knows how to use the mouse can now participate in Computers in education project. 3. Saves huge cost in contents development since AGE contents is a once created used forever & everywhere unlike CD ROMs based contents good for local use only for limit duration. 4. Saves huge storage and delivery costs - since CDs have to be stored and delivered physically. 5. Instant changes/modifications can be done to AGE contents. Definitely not CD ROM based contents. If any government agency or NGO wishing to know more from us contact us We are willing provide thousands of free licenses to selected schools in your country to try out our solutions.
