Ideas are immortal and could change lives within the twinkle of an eye. The idea of inventing wheels has brought a massive revolution in the entire world of communication. Distance is now not a major issue for the global population for the idea of wheels. In fact, ideas are used to improve the current situation

After completing my graduation, I had joined at a local college in Michigan to teach Science to the students of 11th grade. So, as the Science teacher in the college grades, in the beginning, it was difficult for me to teach the subject for different reasons. Most of the students were mischievous and did not bring their Science books or assigned homework. As a result, they started having sorry figures in the class tests and examinations of Science class. It turned difficult for me to teach the course as most of the students did not have their books with them and those who had the book did not share it with the other for some egoistic causes. I had to go through all the lines for some important texts. As they did not have books, they missed the lines. So, I started planning how to improve the situation and finally I had a solution to the problem

I planned to teach them the texts using multimedia tools. I sought for a projector in the classroom. I made presentations of the texts using PowerPoint slides. I inserted all the necessary information, texts, images and rules for solving some complicated issues on the slides. I thought it will be helpful for all the students regardless with or without books. But it cost me time and labour more than teaching in the class. I had to compose all the texts all by myself and prepare the logic into a digital format. But it was effective for all. The students used to look at the projected screen containing their texts and it did not require books for them. It also made them more attractive in the class

When I experienced the troubles with the students, I discussed the issue with some other colleagues and also informed the college authority. They gladly allowed me to invent something useful for the students. So, when I appeared before them with my idea, they appreciated it and instantly allowed me to use a projector in my class. Gradually the issue of using a projector in the class was spread among the guardians and all of them congratulated me for such a brilliant idea and its implementation

As the students were wicked in nature and did not follow the advice both from the teachers and sometimes from their parents, I thought they need something different. I tried to improve the situation and suddenly using a projector with digital texts appeared in my mind. In my university, the teachers also used the technology. However, at first, I was confused about the acceptance of a projector in a classroom filled with teenagers. I also thought about the negative criticisms from different quarters. But finally, I decided that if I want to have a better future for the student, I have to take the risk. I believed that a projector will make a different environment in the classroom. Usually, the students are bored of textbooks, homework, class tests, monthly tests, semester exams etc. Something different will revive their willingness to study more and I was successful
