It is not about ideas, It's about making ideas happen. With this thought in the month of July, I had decided of inspiring at least 2 teachers daily to use technology. I had started this by sending handy tips and creative tools on mail and in the end leaving a note to reply me back if they found it useful and will  they be using it in their class? I had received many replies with confirmation that they found it useful and will use the same in their class. To name a few ....Eshu, Eena, Arvinder, Pooja Garg, Pooja Yaadav, Puja Chopra, Kovleen, Geetika, Manpreet, Neha Meenu Mam, Richa, Ritu, Geeta, Dr Geeta, Randeep and even my music and dance teachers and many more. With ample motivation from Principal Ma'am, who always stand tall with all of us, I am enthused
to initiate a  Tech- Talk [ Webinar] on every 2nd Saturday of the Month from 4.30 to 5 pm, which aims to train each teacher on IT skills.
After each talk , a task will be given. Certificates to all those who will complete the task and special prizes to the winners. Also a daily quiz has been initiated amongst teachers wherein weekly winners and later Monthly Winners will be announced.
Competitions makes us Faster and Collaboration makes us BETTER. My Goal is to beat my last performance. With this Keep Learning and Keep Innovating....

I had made a plan of English literature on a poem written by William Wordsworth. It was a simple poem and in order to show them that poems need not always be difficult, solemn, heavy or full of metaphors and other devices, I gave them a project of writing odes. For this I oriented them that poem is just lyrical flow of ideas; they may or may not rhyme. I also collectedashowed them some simple and funny odes written by students from world over. They found confidence looking at the poems and experimented by writing in pairs. They would show it to me for making any changes in it if needed. Now they are so enthusiastic and confident about these that I have come across poems as varied as odes on Maggi, on chocolate, nature, marketplace and even ode to a fractured arm. Some of these poems have been displayed outside class 5 and some of them are in their literature notebooks.

Compound interest is the difficult chapter according to students. To remove this fear from their minds about this chapter i asked the students to make a short ppt on this. The students were really excited about it. So with their keen interest and excitement they read the chapter and made a ppt. I only asked them to make a short ppt with example so that they know what all we will cover in this topic and this topic is equally easy as simple interest. I really appreciate their efforts that they presented the ppt very well.

Students were given a topic and were asked to browse through different sites and collect information and present their topic with the help of an activity based on that .
They prepared Power point presentations in order to explain their topic.
They not only prepared but also brought wonderful activities and material from their homes to prove various laws of light . Example: In order to show how secondary colours are formed from primary colours they presented a wonderful activity with the help of water , transparent bottles and food colours.
Students were taking so much of pride in explaining the topic to the whole class and were quite motivated.
On the whole it was a wonderful experience
and learning by doing was again proved to be more effective than any other method.

KWL is one the beautiful and effective way of starting any topic. I started with this approach in October . K means what you already know , W means what you want to know and L means what you have learnt . So this approach very clearly states the three aspects . In this way children are also interested to learn more.

I used Role Play for teaching transportation to Upvan children. They presented a role play, wherein children became different modes of transportation, road signs, emergency vehicle, traffic lights, safety rules.

In this way the theme transportation was done in a fun and practical way. It enhanced their public speaking skills and self confidence.

I used Hardy’s World trip, as an opportunity to make the kids imbibe all the learning “On the go”. On our way I showed them all the road signs and different modes of transportation. To my pleasant surprise the kids sang the poem “Go, Go, Go” on transportation, which we did in the class a few days ago. Children really enjoyed and whenever they saw the road sign they told me “Mam look, look road sign like stop, zebra crossing, school ahead etc.”, it was learning by seeing.

Now these young children are all set to teach parents about “Road Signs’ and “Safety rules”

I got a very good feedback from the parents as well regarding the same.

I started with the Word Wall where the students made beautiful baskets and then they started filling those baskets with new words each day. Many students come with atleast two to three new words everyday with their meanings and even sentences. Many students have already filled their baskets and have added even the second basket to the word garden that has been put up in my class. The students share these new words with the other students before filling their baskets. I think it's a good way to add on to their vocabulary and it is working also. Those shy and docile students of the class have also started coming to the class with new words.

Kids don’t always understand the relevance of learning material when simply putting pen to paper. Activity-based learning, on the other hand, helps kids understand the ‘real-life’ relevance of learning material by encouraging them to explore and solve realistic problems and scenarios. Activity-based learning focuses on independent investigation and analysis. By asking kids to work on their own and/or in small groups, this teaching method encourages students to be independently inquisitive, think critically, and learn from their own experience. This self-directed learning process in turn supports their acquisition of knowledge outside as well as inside the educational environment.

SOCIAL STUDIES - CLASS IV

ACTIVITY

‘Archaeological Dig’

In this activity, the students were the ‘archaeologists for a day’. We created some sand pits in the play ground which had some buried objects to explain how historians use evidences in front of them to piece together facts about the past. Children were divided into groups and each group picked out an object from a sand pit, took the object to their group, brushed it off and carefully studied them to see what we can know about the past.
SCIENCE – CLASS IV

KAHOOT

Kahoot app (online quiz) is used to ensure that the students are regular with their homework. The students are asked to read the topics done in the class as a part of their homework.  Online quiz is created on the topics covered for a particular chapter. The children are given the code for the same and they attempt the quiz. This really helps a teacher to gauge their understanding and the report suggests that whether the topic needs to be revisited or not. Most of all, the children enjoy and look forward to it.

“True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.”-Nikos Kazantzakis

Use of technology has revolutionized the teaching learning process. From a teacher centered approach, it has become more child centric now. Teachers are now able to speak the language of technology that the children understand easily. As a new age teacher it is my duty to make my students equipped for the future and inculcate the skill of enquiry and knowledge building in my students. It is also my duty to create an environment of blended learning where the students are using tools to create and learn about various situations.

I truly believe that the value of a teacher is determined not by what she knows, nor by her ability to impart what she knows, but by her ability to stimulate in learners a desire to know more. To be able to do so the teacher needs to be well organised for her class. Being an Expert Subject Teacher in my school for the Primary section, I and my form teachers have faced some hitches in the form of:

·       Completing our syllabus in time and compromising with the teaching technique.

·       All form teachers not being on the same platform in terms of using technology in their class.

·       Time management in each class of 40 minutes.

My project is based on dealing with all these issues. I thought of creating a common info graphic template which can be used confidently by all my form teachers to facilitate learning in their classes. A template where not only the teachers but students are also an equal part.

My main objective was to create an engaging and intellectually stimulating learning experience by modelling and exemplifying for students the excitement of discovery. I strived to find ways to present appropriately challenging learning activities in an enthusiastic, interesting, tech savvy and enjoyable way. My focus was to enhance student engagement and learning through effective curriculum design, pedagogy, use of technology, and assessment strategies.
I converted my Lesson Plan into customised Info graphics in order to stream line the everyday teaching and helping to create a stimulating environment where the students are better thinkers, inquirers and communicators with a balanced and open minded approach to life. Being pioneers in creating our own digitized lesson plan and now modifying it into a comprehensive day wise plan along with the info graphics has made my classroom a happy learning space.

Quoting a famous line “For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned”, I would like to say that using the customized info graphics has not only made my class more organized but also a place where my children are enthusiastic for learning as they know with real life visuals shown they would be in a better position to learn and fulfil their inquisitiveness.

Info graphics created are based on the lesson plan made for the topic. First the digitized lesson plan is prepared wherein the pedagogies, methods and activities to be used to facilitate the learning process for that lesson are finalized, then that lesson is divided into day wise plans with clear cut demarcation of how that day’s topic would be introduced, developed, summed up and then evaluated. After completing the lesson planning, the process of creating the info graphic starts. Info graphics can be in the form of a professionally made Power point presentation which includes complete videos also or it can be a well-made sway presentation using Microsoft Sway. The info graphic has slides pertaining to introduction of the topic which could include a video, an activity with clear instructions, or visuals that are to be used for introducing depending upon the lesson plan. After introduction then there are detailed slides of how the topic would be developed keeping in mind to add whatever is required to make that topic clear to the children. The aim is to make the lesson more real by adding real life media into the lesson. For evaluation stress is laid on using techniques like Flipped classroom, graffiti wall, 4 corners etc for which children require visuals to understand how it works and using info graphics in the class makes it easier for the teacher to explain that method and it also becomes easier for children to understand, grasp and present in a better way.

Invariably while teaching in the class we forget to do ongoing assessment to see whether children are understanding or not. For this also HOTS questions or open ended questions are added in between the slides so that the teacher remembers to do the assessment and reading the question from the screen helps the children to better visualize it. It is also easier to make children complete a Do It Yourself Project by showing visuals related to the project to the children in the class itself so that the children clear their doubts in the class itself rather then going home confused and troubling their parents to help.

Use of info graphics in my class has made my students more aware and has also improved their academic performance. The use of info graphics actually enhances the learning process and knowledge building of students. It has also made everything more visual because of which the understanding is better and retention power of children has become more. They not only enjoy new technology but involve themselves in the subject with great enthusiasm. They have shown marked improvement in their overall performance in the field of attendance, knowledge, awareness and class participation.
Parents have given me a positive feedback about the new changes brought about in the classroom teaching as they say children have a better understanding of not only the topic in general but also about its real life implications. A tough topic like “Pollination” in class 5 was well understood by my children because of use of customized info graphics and students performed really well when they were evaluated for the topic.

To spark the interest of the students and as a part of activity based learning, Nanofictionary was incorporated in the lesson plan as a part of a part of the Oral Assessment for Term II. One week prior to the activity, the teacher announced the rules of the short story telling competition or Nanofictionary.

1. Participation was mandatory.

2. Students were allowed to use puppets, props, flash cards, real objects or charts to make their story convincing.

3. Students were free to choose the genre of their choice.

4. Students were encouraged to perform action or mimic the characters.

5. Marks were given based on audience engagement, entertainment and use of aids.

6. A winner was chosen by the audience and was given the title of “The Aesop” of their class.

The outcome was a surprise! Each student came up with ideas more unique than the other, and stories more engaging. The most introvert of the lot hid behind the puppets, masks and disguises to bring their fictional characters to life. The experience was surreal and the enthusiasm was unmatched.

“Teaching is not about answering questions but about raising questions – opening doors for them in places that they could not imagine.”
Expanding horizons of possibilities, limitless exploration and learning is of utmost importance during the formative years. Providing the children an environment enriched in learning opportunities will build and strengthen affective, social and intellectual abilities in young children.

Keeping this in mind, students of Class Upvan were taken to PAU for a Field Trip on 18th October, 2018. Taking  students out of the classroom and into a new environment allows them to work as a team and build trust with other classmates. Field trips provide experiences outside the proverbial ‘boxes’ of numeracy and literacy. The approach is to facilitate hands on experience and learning that will enhance their critical thinking skills and help them to explore different realms of knowledge and imagination.

The Satyans of Upvan visited the PAU BOTANICAL GARDENS, The Entomology department and …..It was great experience for the little Satyans and of immense help in honing their social skills and satisfying the intellectual curiosity . It gave them the opportunity to touch, feel, and listen to what they’re learning about, which helped them gain a better understanding of topics and expose them to worlds outside their own.”
The type of memories that Field trips create, are “episodic memories,” that helps children retain information for longer periods. It was a change from the routine of a school, which was immensely enjoyed by the little Satyans.

Inculcating the interest of students in mythological stories is quite a challenge because these stories don’t interest them immediately. So in order to make students comfortable and familiar with these stories about our history and culture , i deceided to conduct a play activity for all the students. All the sections made groups separately to carry out the play. Characters from the story were managed by the kids themselves and they were allowed to bring props to supplement the activity. The play turned out to be beautiful with the kids understanding the nature and depth of each character. By the end of the day every child could easily narrate the premise of the story and the empirical initiative paid Off with kids now looking forward to more of such mythological stories.

Hindi , essentially as a subject does not catch the attention of the students in the first instance And hence innovation is really essential with it. To make the lessons less monotonous for the students , I made PPT’s for each lesson and made sure that every PPT was engaging and attractive enough. This method not only helped the students but also helped me in getting a better grasp over the aforementioned lessons. My students now prefer the PPT format to the textbook , because it breaks the monotony for them .

I read this technique, Kaizen - a Japanese business philosophy of continuous improvement of working practices, personal efficiency, etc.
As I have always been fascinated about Japanese success so got to know about this one.

Anyone could apply to their lives. For instance, one could make a routine to follow, keep things at the right place etc to increase personal efficiency.

I'm doing this these days and seeing the results.

Thought you might be interested in trying it.
Kindly share your thoughts.

Teach SDG’s

By Gurpreet Sandhu

Young children are open minded and receptive to taking on new knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. They are the leaders of tomorrow and the change makers. The best way to create a better world is to make the young children aware about the world.
The SDG’s are universal goals for all the people, and are inherently global in nature. Developing global citizens who are passionate about caring for others and our world is essential for making the world a better place. The SDG’s help to engage students in practical goals and problem- solving. With a perspective of making the young children aware of the Sustainable Developmental Goals, I incorporated them in my lesson plan of plants.
In my kindergarten classroom, I first showed them some videos like the World’s largest lesson. This intrigued the young minds and generated curiosity. All the 17 SDG’s were listed and a poster was put up in the class. An awareness was created by talking about why we thought they are important and what they meant to us. Through their genuine and authentic curiosity about the global goals, they became aware of not only what they are, but why they are important. I connected it with the Plants topic in the curriculum and they were told how to care about plants and for keeping our Earth clean and green we need to plant more trees and not cut trees.
The Goal # 15, Life on Earth was discussed. They also made a project on Plant Parts and took it home and some discussed with their parents and friends about the SDG’s. Lot of brainstorming was done. The children also spoke about the SDG’s. They were motivated to speak with the help of video recordings. This in turn enhanced their confidence and awareness about the SDG’s.
Circle time on SDG’s with the theme poverty made them aware about this problem in the world. This sensitized them on the issue and they all came up with different ways in which they can help the poor people. This way they were told about the Goal #2, No Poverty
SDG’s have become an integral part of my classroom culture now, whatever we are doing the students try to connect it with the SDG’s. My students love learning about the world and talking about SDG’s.
Kindergarten seems like the perfect place to begin thinking about how we can collaborate globally to make the world a better place. We all need each other. The world needs all of us to care and make wishes come true for everyone.
If we are to create long term sustainable change we have to start with the young children. Then these lessons will stick and galvanize them into taking action of their own in the name of all the Goals.

Combination of Sway, Office Lens and immersive reader is easy, quick and helpful in simplifying the lives and tasks of educators. I just really didn’t grasp the true value of this tool until I tried my hand at it myself.

·       Sway with its rather nice scrolling effects and ability to contain a great deal of written text in a pleasantly readable manner, is particularly good at telling a story on its own. The purpose of Sway is to convey concepts quickly, easily and clearly.

·       Using Learning Tools in OneNote, such as Immersive Reader, makes learning more equitable, accessible, and engaging. It’s providing many more opportunities for the students to practice and apply 21st century skills.

·       Immersive Reader is providing a great deal of support in understanding and analyzing complex text that can be challenging for my struggling readers.  With Immersive Reader, my students have been able to listen to the text as many times as they want. This has given my struggling readers a greater chance to successfully identify the evidence they need to answer text-based questions.

·       With Immersive Reader, students seize control of words they struggle pronouncing. I have also witnessed students getting excited when they use Line Focus, which increases concentration by allowing them to focus on one or a few lines at a time. It is making a tremendous difference in helping them analyze complex text.

Children were asked to choose a picture of their favourite bird and collect some information about that bird( description, diet, habitat, present status)

The children turned their favourite birds into talking birds using the information they collected with the help of blabberize tool.

·                          The whole presentation helped increasing student participation by      turning power point-based classes into interactive sessions.

·       Blabberize is a free online tool that allows you to quickly create talking images, providing some great opportunities to foster student engagement and collaboration.

·       Blabberize is not a revolutionary tool, but it certainly provides an interesting way to break up your usual lesson plan, helping to focus , and improve knowledge retention.as well as foster student engagement and collaboration.

·      Some students are often self-conscious about speaking, Blabberize provides a method for dealing with this. This helps learners to battle their shyness and train their language skills through the mediation of Blabberize.

Innovation: Steam Teaching
Topic: Five Senses "Sense of Sound"
Class and Section: Upvan A
Date: 11.04.2019

Objective:
To develop a passion for real time learning, help them foster their creativity and above all engaging them in the thinking and learning process.

“THE GREATEST BENEFIT OF STEAM IS THAT IT FOSTERS THAT LOVE OF LEARNING.”

Instilling that passion and drive to learn is at it’s most crucial stage during the formative years. Starting STEAM education early allows children to build a solid foundation in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. Kids exposed sooner will be far less intimidated by more complicated teachings in the future and more willing to pick up advanced studies in the subjects later on in school and life. STEAM embraces the 4 C’s identified as key 21st century skills – Creativity, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Communication. Students have the freedom to thinking critically, creatively and to innovate.

Young children are naturally curious. They ask a lot of questions about the world around them, and it benefits them to stimulate that inquisitiveness for problem-solving and learning. Allowing a child to explore something they’re interested in, such as a musical instrument will have questions, hypothesis, and observations flowing freely.  Steam teaching helps to incorporate fun into the lesson plan and makes it more accessible for young students. When kids are allowed to actively participate in their learning, they are more likely to enjoy it, get engaged in critical thinking and learn from experiences.

Students of Upvan class made a STEAM project as a part of their five senses topic.  Children explored the sense of sound with this science activity of making a crafty kazoo. A kazoo makes noise when our voice vibrates the tissue paper membrane. The sound waves from our voice get altered when they hit the tissue membrane, creating the funky humming noise we hear when we play. They enjoyed making the kazoo and had lots of fun playing it. It was a great hands on-learning experience for them.

Outcome: Hands - on and experiential learning with great science activity

Impact:
1. Helps engaging all the students
2. Fosters their creativity
3. Helps enhancing their inquisitiveness and interest in everyday science

Use of Fligrid

https://admin.flipgrid.com/manage/grids/919184/topics/2751762

Flipgrid is the leading video discussion platform used by educators around the world. Flipgrid brings the back row to the front and helps learners of all ages find their voices, share their voices, and respect the diverse voices of others.
Flipgrid students build and strengthen social learning communities as they discuss their ideas and experiences with their peers.
Flipgrid amplifies student voice and supports student development of global empathy as they immerse themselves in each other’s learning processes and perspectives.

The students of class 4D were asked to search for some amazing facts about Carnivorous Plants as a part of their English Literature project for the chapter ‘Pitcher Plant’. Flipgrid was used as a platform to present their findings to their peers. The students participated enthusiastically in the project.

BUDDY SYSTEM:

A buddy system is where a child gets paired with another child. It helps to promote friendship, better support of coursework, behavioral and social needs, and can foster a greater sense of belonging. The buddy class programme gives children the opportunity to develop a range of qualities including leadership, responsibility, social skills and teaching techniques.

I have been using buddy system in my class since October(after the autumn break). I draw slips(2 at one time) in the beginning of the month and make buddies accordingly.

Duties assigned to a buddy:

1. to make a list of missed out work in case his/her buddy is absent.

2. to help the buddy complete his/her pending work.

3. to help him/ her understand the concepts.

4. to help him/her complete other classroom chores( setting a desk, performing class duties, etc)

This practice has really helped my class in building a positive connect with each other. Most importantly the children, especially slow writers or absentees do not have to struggle to complete their pending work. Based on daily observation by the class teacher, ‘Best Buddy’ is announced and given a badge at the end of the month.

Flipped Teaching followed by Kahoot  (SARU SAGGAR)                            Flipped teaching is the process of moving lecture content from face-to-face class time to before class by assigning it as homework. This allows for more interactive forms of learning to take place during class. Flipped teaching often involves students watching lecture videos as homework. Flipped teaching is also known as flip teaching, reverse teaching and the inverted classroom.The students of IV D were asked to deliver a lecture on Ch – School Breaks Up(by R.K Narayan) in Eng Literature. They were divided in four groups and had liberty to deliver it in their own way. I was amazed to see their confidence, their planning, the introduction activities, the revision sheets, the videos, they searched related to the topic.

“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.”
― Aristotle, The Nicomachean Ethics

The method of learning by doing activities is known as activity-based learning. Rather than merely asking children to understand and write notes, activity-based learning allows students to personally engage in their own learning environment through meaningful experiences like problem-solving and autonomous inquiry.
This teaching approach allows students to be critically inquisitive, consider creatively, and learn about their own learning by asking them to work through their own or in organized teams.
Such an activity was conducted in the ECONOMICS Class for Grade 11 where instead of giving them oral examples of data collection and presentation ,students were given a number of words (Pasted on the board in the form of sticky notes) to be classified under the category of ADJECTIVES ,VERBS,NOUNS AND ADVERBS. Then through the skill of Tally bars, students were able to collect the data systematically.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn” (Benjamin Franklin).
Role-play is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by interacting with other people in a managed way in order to develop experience.
A role-play activity was conducted for the topic - Double insurance n Reinsurance in Class 11B for Commerce.

This is not only provided conceptual clarity but motivated students to get actively involved in the class.
The students had a playful way of learning and got an opportunity to reflect on and develop their knowledge of the topic.
