MCQ Week πŸ“—πŸ“–πŸ“•

 The first MCQ exam was philosophy and it went well. To be honest I am attending an exam after a small gap and was a little scared. Later, we had Joju sir's class, sir completed the presentation on 'Role of Teacher in the Digital Era'.

The second exam was psychology and the questions were very easy. We had Deepthi ma'am's class after the exam and we discussed about the behaviorism. I've heard a couple of times about Pavlov's experiment with his dog Bierka (which ma'am forgot during the class πŸ˜‰) in movies and series (The Office, Big Bang Theory) but never thought I'll have to learn about it.  

The third exam was 'Technology' and it went well. Later we had physical education class where sir demonstrated Shalabhasana, Noukasana and Dhanurasana.

The third exam was an optional subject and we all did pretty well. Later ma'am discussed about constructivist lesson plan.

The fourth and final MCQ tests were for optional subjects. Fortunately, all the exams went well and like that we have come to the end of first semester

Prime Numbers in Nature

 Prime numbers are one of the easiest concepts to understand and learn in Maths. But some of the complex problems in Maths belong to this branch. Never would have imagined an application of prime numbers in nature. Thanks to the book 'Weird Maths: At The Edge of Infinity and Beyond' which introduced me to this along with other weird applications of Maths. There's a particular species type of cicadas found in the US called the Magicicada or the 'periodical cicadas' who stay in their larva for 13 or 17 years. Imagine staying inside for over a decade with no connection to the outside world and coming out in the year 2021. People wearing masks walking all around you, smartphones, oh, the shock!🀯 It is the primality of these numbers which interest the mathematicians. The reasons are quite interesting. As the lifecycle of the prey changes, the population cycle (pattern in the population for a period of time) of their predators also vary due to the change in the availabil...

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...

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.
