Enter
the subjects in the 2002 Exhibition from the EdClicks.com Homepage
The Exhibition's
palace and pavilion (butterfly) icons
each connect to collections of webpages.
The webpages are selected as excellent examples
of the vast amount of knowledge that
is now located on the Internet.
The 2002
World's Fair combined with
the Sri Lanka Jumpstart Pavilion
is offered as a place where students will find
plenty to keep them busy learning for
many, many hours.
More important:
Studying the links provided
will jumpstart a lifetime of learning from
the Internet, which is the wonderful new
location of what is known by humankind.
And we
will all be studying together
on the same pages from the global
intellectual commonground.
Pavilion
= Butterfly
The
word pavilion comes from the Latin and French words for butterfly,
catching the idea of "spreading out like a butterfly's wings."
[Webster's1966 unabridged dictionary]
A jumpstart project enters the Internet virtually and spreads its wings
over perninent knowledge to those learners for whom it is maintained.
