Demonstrations, School Induction, Microteaching...........


 For two days we had class demonstrations by our seniors. Each demonstration showed the ways we can use teaching aids, ICT, to include children in group activities etc. This gave us a more clear picture on how to do our microteaching sessions.

After the demonstrations we had microteaching sessions of Neema, Aby, Shilpa and Aswathy. Each of them did a great job.

Then yesterday we had our Science Day celebrations 'Ramafi 2021' which was organized by the Physical science, Natural science and Maths associations. We, the Math association had a special edition of 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?'. There was a great participation and involvement from the students and the faculty. The Physical Science association conducted a program called the 'Game of Facts' where a group of five from each optional class is supposed to make up a story using the picture displayed in the screen. The Natural Science association conducted a quiz but the winners are those who spelled out the answers first using the letters kept in the boxes in the auditorium. Both the games where interesting and fun.

The coming week we'll be having our school inductions. So the weekend is packed with works to be done. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish them all.

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...
