    Teachers's Instructions
    1. Create a folder named "Birds" in your PC and download images of a few birds in that folder and make them available for the students while doing the exercises.
    2. Even if it takes time, make the Students to type the text.
    3. Allow the Students to watch the solution.odp with the solution.odt.
    4. While teaching use the words “bold”, “Properties”, “Master pages”, “Custom animation” and “Slide transition” etc.
    5. Show them that Google input tools is another way to input tamil. Show them how the Tamil text appears in normal fonts (say arial or calibri) when typed in Bamini vs. Google input tools. Ask them to think why that is so. Basically, Bamini only stores normal English keyboard characters and reconstructs them to appear as Tamil. Whereas Google input tools stores Tamil character codes in Unicode (2 bytes per character).
