This Lock-down has brought many changes to our lives and made us learn something new and adapt to the new normal each day. Our 'Physical' persona has been changed to 'Virtual'.

And, I am glad to share that our learning leaders and learners are sailing through this challenge quite comfortably. In this need of the hour, we hit the course running and immediately shifted our 'Physical Classroom' to Google 'Classroom'. neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577003917 2020-05-16 18:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577003917 In times of social distancing, the use of technology has become inevitable and we need to befriend it to make the entire process more efficient. In order to add personal and emotional quotient, we begin our sessions with prayer, meditation, and a little chat which puts our young learners in a mindful state and they become better engaged. neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577004600 2020-05-16 18:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577004600 'Google Classroom' allows us to replicate a ‘Classroom’ where we can meet our learners every day virtually and can discuss or deliver the topic. It also allows submission of worksheets, assignments, videos, etc. Learners are given engaging and creative extension activities in the form of homework which is uploaded on Google classroom. Learners can easily submit/upload their work after completing it. neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577005408 2020-05-16 18:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577005408 In the current scenario, everybody needs to adopt a growth mindset. When we practice a new skill or learn something new we stimulate our neural growth. Our learners are learning a new skill every day and are coping up with the new normal, keep encouraging, and motivating them. Keep Learning! neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577005712 2020-05-16 18:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577005712 Also, there are frequent connect sessions where learning leaders and young learners have impromptu discussions on a variety of topics of their interest that leads to greater bonding while imparting and enhancing life skills in an informal setting. neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577008517 2020-05-16 18:50:04 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577008517 'Google forms’ is another wonderful tool, with the help of which we can create subject-specific quizzes and exit tickets. It can also be used as an assessment tool. neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577034511 2020-05-16 19:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577034511 Without Whiteboard there are many queries: neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577040021
  • How to make lessons more engaging?
  • How can I explain without the board?
  • How to show the images along so learners can relate to the topic?
  • How can I use a single media instead of switching to two or three simultaneously as that causes distraction as well as consumes time between the virtual sessions?
    • The solution to all the above queries is 'Jamboard'.

Our 'PBL methodology' is inspiring the learners to innovate and settle into the new environment and they make a great effort to learn and grow. ]]> 2020-05-17 03:54:34 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/577283232 Learning grows as we share, with this vision and belief, I would like to extend my learning to the learning leaders who are also trying various ways in this need of the hour. neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/620701388 2020-06-10 13:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/620701388 neerjachauhan https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/1341534410 2021-03-23 07:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/neerjachauhan/mh9duyckv13k3x28/wish/1341534410
