                         The Tests for Self Discovery

         Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment-Jalaluddin Rumi

This was what happened today morning in a three hour session with Sri. Joby Kondoor. From the moment he took over the class from Dr.Gibi ma'am and Dr.Joju sir we were in a cloud of bewilderment caused by our own ignorance. The class mainly was about completing tasks-tasks that showed insight on skills that a teacher should develop- respect, understanding, cooperation, responsibility and a caring nature .

The first task was sitting in a semicircle of two rows within ten seconds. It took us more than three tries to completely understand and form the way Joby sir wanted from us and that too we managed after he showed us how its done. 

Following this task he introduced us to the game of forming groups based on imagining the wheels of a particular vehicle, be it a bike( where we stood in groups of two people) or a jeep(where we formed a group of four).The rules to be followed were that each group should contain people who doesn't know the other's whereabouts.If there is a familiar member, one has to immediately connect with another group. the penalty for those who was left out was to sing in front of everyone. Through this game I came to meet be familiar with many students( whose names I have put above😆)

This was followed by many more activities. One thing that I learned was that just like how teachers are respected in society, children should also be given both respect and space.


The day continued with both Dr.Maya-who completed a unit titled 'Teacher and Education' and Dr.Joju sir's vibrant session on technology. The last hour we enjoyed a minor game under the hot sun.

 September 27th 2021                                       Disinterest or Uninterest Both words are used quite often today. But both words don't mean the same thing. Uninterest is the opposite of interest. It means to not show any care or concern for things. One is said to show disinterest when they don't bother to do something. For example- Ben is uninterested in joining the tour to Goa . They were uninterested in volunteering. Disinterest means to not take both sides of an argument. Choosing not to take sides. For example: She showed disinterest in taking sides. John was disinterested in his children's fight. Today session Joju sir made us stick positive quotes on the Jamboard. It was super fun and motivating to read so many good thoughts. Physical science students continued with their group discussion.  Nikhil does a good job recording all the group discussions.  The next se...

  Digital Textbook   A  digital textbook  is more interactive and engaging. It is designed keeping the modern tech-savvy learners in mind.To address their learning styles and needs, an e-textbook is usually designed with features that will help them learn better and engage more with the learning material.      A major selling point of digital textbooks is that they offer the opportunity for students to access multimedia content, such as embedded videos, interactive presentations and hyperlinks.
