I have been working on a small side project for the last couple of months. Due to the current situation of the world, schools are closed, even in Sri Lanka many schools in Colombo are yet to open. And students rely on the internet to connect with teachers and learn their lessons.
So I was thinking of creating something that would help both teachers and students, a tool which will help the teachers to improve the way they teach over the internet.

Kids have a very short attention span. If you are a teacher, you must be having firsthand experiences on how difficult it is to teach kids, especially over the internet.
Since my wife is a teacher, I get to experience this every day. One reason for this is the fact that kids have a very limited attention span. They tend to wonder instead of focusing on the lesson which is in-front of them.
For this reason if you are teaching online, you need to make sure you make lessons that holds a kids attention. …

Make your credit card works for you, not the other way round
Credit cards, everyone hates to get a credit card bill at the end of the month. Before I got a credit card for myself, I was someone who thought credit cards are evil, and you should never own or use a credit card. I was someone who always paid by cash or with my debit card.
But that all changed when I got my first credit card three years ago. Actually the credit card was forced on me by a salesperson so that I couldn't say no to. …
