  •  
    "With the right eco-education, we can hope they will hit the ground running. A lot of schools and educational institutions are doing their bit by including the environment as part of the curriculum. Words like 'carbon footprint' and global warming' comes to them as easily as the name of any present-day rock star. That's cool. But who said that ecological or environmental education needs to be bookish or donnish? Thanks to online games, it can be brought out from textbooks into the fun world. Online environmental games games that teach kids about animals and conservation make the task interactive."

Free Moodle Hosting | Key To School - KTS - 0 views

  •  
    "At Key To School (KTS), we believe that Moodle is indeed a gift to all educators. However, it was observed that setting up and maintaining a Moodle server was an uphill task for many educators, not made easy by the restrictions imposed by many non-managed hosting providers. On the other end of the spectrum, the managed Moodle hosting was too costly for a first time Moodler who wanted to get acquainted for Moodle. We strive to ease both the learning curves well as provide the most affordable price - free, for all Moodlers. "
