Sliding into the Second Week

It was a bright and sunny morning. As usual the day began with a prayer. The first class was by Dr Giby. The class focused on the history and different branches of psychology. An activity was done to illustrate the need of psychology in our lives. We were asked to draw according to Giby Ma'am's instructions in an unconventional way, by placing the book over our heads.Obviously none of the drawings turned out the way it should have. But few among us, used their fingers to get a point of reference while drawing.This technique shows the predictability nature of psychology. Those students expected the next instruction and could produce a better drawing. Similarly, psychology gives us means to understand people and helps to predict other people's actions. A good teacher can preduct her student's thoughts and actions.

The highlight of the day was the inaugration of our renovated canteen.Hope we'll have a chance to utilise the canteen to the fullest.The day ended with a round of dodgeball.

Day 30 of Online Classes

Today the day began with Joju sir's class and the physical science association continued with their seminar. We were introduced to the software 'Hot Potatoes', which can be used to make online quizzes. If I had known this earlier I would have used it for 'Mathletics'. The topic was handled by Ancy and Gayathri of Physical science association and they did a great job. Later we had Ancy ma'am's class where we discussed about social change. Ma'am made us switch on our cameras to take a group photo. It felt good too see many faces after a long time.

A New Phase

This week marked the beginning of teaching practice. St Mary's, Pattom is the school assigned for me. It's going to be a great opportunity and experience for all of us.The internship was supposed to start on 5th January but it was delayed by a day due to an unexpected holiday. 6th Jan 2022, It was the first day of our internship and to be honest I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had the first hour at 9J1 which was utilised to show a video on 'Social Media and its Effects'. The video was shot and shown as a part of a government initiative to create awareness of the positive and negative effects of social media. I couldn't take a class, but I got to be the tech support for the teachers. This helped me get rid of that unnecessary stress. But I had another period at 9I1 and I used this period to get to know the students, their previous knowledge etc. and also brushed some of the previously taught topics. 7th Jan 2022, Today the second batch attended school...
