Day 34 of Online Classes

 Today usually marks the start of next academic year. But unfortunately we are stuck with our first semester. But soon we'll be starting with our next semester classes and all the preps are going in full swing. The first class for the day was physical education and we learned about the positive effects of aerobic and anaerobic exercises. Later we had Psychology and we did a small recap of the seminar portions taken by the physical science association.

Not a Typical Movie Review

 We were assigned with the task of watching a movie and understand its educational implications. I had  chosen the movie 'Dead Poets Society (1989)' directed by Peter Weir starring the late Robin Williams. I'd seen this movie a while ago but this time, I decided to watch it to understand what makes John Keating different from other teachers. This Academy award winning movie is set in a conservative boy's boarding school named Welton's Academy which is known for churning out disciplined and academically brilliant students. The story focuses on a group of seventeen year old boys and their English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams). John Keating is a nonconformist and lives by the phrase 'Carpe Diem' which means 'seize the day'. He encourages his students to get rid of their fears, find their voices and live their lives to the fullest through poetry. Their newfound interest in poetry led them to create a secret club named Dead Poets Society. One of t...

Sports Meet 2022

 Finally, the day is here. We've been scheduling the sports meet for quite some meet. It had to be postponed due to unexpected rains and finally, it was conducted on Sep 12 and 13 soon after the Onam holidays. We had shotput, javelin throw, 50m, 100 m etc. The involvement and participation in the second years were a little low compared to the first years. Events like shot put, javelin throw, 50 m race etc had good participation. The selection of students for the finals of each event was done on the first day. The finals followed by prize distribution were done on the second day. I was supposed to run the100m race but had to pull out due to previous complications in my leg injury. But I got to participate in the march past which was totally unexpected. By the end of the day, we were dead tired from the scorching sun, but it was all worth it.

Back to Campus!

 Didn't know I would be able to say that 👆 in a long time. We had new timings (9.30-15.20) for the week, which I kinda like better than the old one (just because of the breaks).  This week in Joju sir's class we discussed about the 'Indicators of a Good Class' and had a small introduction to research. In Maya ma'am's class we went through some of the problems with pre-primary education in India. We began Giby ma'am's class with a congratulatory dance for the newly engaged and newly weds. Later we learnt about the types of motivation. In optional cla sses we had our seminar presentations and I must say with each seminar the Ppt slides are becoming more creative. Finally, in this week's Ancy ma'am's class I got back the feeling of sitting in a Math class. We did statistics problems throughout the week. Exams are approaching, submission deadlines are here and I'm in the middle of it all, unable to decide where to begin.
