The educational toolkit is a software to facilitate discussion in classroom with the help of technology. The software will aim at providing teachers and students with a tool to pose problems and then compare and discuss solutions. It can also be used as a formal testing tool for class tests and provide a better gauge of a student's progress to the teacher.

Q.3  : What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.

Q.4 :  Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.

Ans : I believe that I can work on the project in the given timeline, since the technology is there and I can give sufficient time over the summers. The work being proposed is not unreachable or require resources which I won't have access to. Thus, I see no reason why I should fail to complete the project.
