Ancy ma'am introduced us to a new e-learning tool- Google classroom, where we can locate the required study materials. Gibi teacher taught us more on the significance of personality.  The class was very interactive with students giving their suggestions on different aspects of personality- such as    conflicts, both internal and external, measures to reduce      human frustrations and the importance of achieving success.  In between we also got to attend our principal's class. Benedict sir completed  microteaching. It was very broad and simpl
