The present century continues to witness several emerging technologies often beyond the wildest of our imaginations. An unlimited content of information is available easily from resources all over the globe, packaged in a variety of extremely effective and unconventional styles of presentation. The shift of emphasis from the textbooks and the blackboard to the internet, virtual classrooms and multimedia is happening at a tremendous pace. The magnitude and speed of the information explosion of the present times re-emphasises the urgent need for building bridges across the huge gaps between information, knowledge and wisdom. This shifts our attention to the very basic purpose of education as an enabling, enriching and empowering technology, demanding, focused efforts to evolve innovative strategies addressing the perspectives of the content and the style, the teacher and the taught, the enabling agencies and the public – all stakeholders. The emphasis is shifting towards learning to learn and uncovering and discovering the syllabus. Science education involves inspiring and motivating the student community at large, imparting theoretical as well as practical skills and highlighting the need for creative thinking and innovation.
