Classroom Learning

Class Room Learning with Real Life Situation

Learning is a regular and continuous process. One workshop for learning in school, where mostly same age students learn a thing for life. Hindi, English, Maths, Science, Environmental Science, General Science, General Knowledge and so many scholastic subjects which are related to life and dance, art, games so many co-scholastic areas covered. What is the use of It? Students ask the question because now the trend is changed, Teachers and student’s relation is as facilitator and learner respectively. Question-answer sessions are now very interesting in the Class.

If someone asked, “what is the use to learn Sanskrit”. Definitely, the answer is a little bit difficult because How we can explain the learning of language. Teachers can relate the session with their research on languages, How our Ved, Purans are written in Sanskrit and there are so many things which are now using by the science for research.  

Due to a lack of knowledge of languages we face problem to understand the facts of our Vedic culture. In this Corona Period where everyone is following the rules which we forgot.

No handshake, Only Namaskaar; Social Distancing, Sanitization when we come in the touch of out things.  which was our culture. Hawan-Yagya which scientifically proved it purifies the environment in more than 1 km dia.

Surya Argya process has proved, it is good for curing skin diseases and very best for eyesight. Dhyan – Yog everything which literature in present in Sanskrit and we use to the translation of it by our non-sense thinking.  

One example is from Ramcharit Manas, “Dhol Ganwar, sudra Pasu Naari, Sakal tadna ke Adhikari.”
What is the real meaning and we translate, is very different. There are different meaning of Tadna- monitoring- observing. Dhol (drum) if it assemble proper so it given fantastic beats but if it loose so, either Dhol will be torn or couldn’t played in good beats.  

Class room the basic place where learning took place. Students learns read, write, speak. Calculation- addition, multiplication, division, problem solving. How the seeds germinate and grow up in the form of plant and trees. It’s very interesting when students brow some seeds and observe the progress of plant grows. Every knowledge kids learn from class room first. Class room learning some time looks just time pass. But it is not so.
 
In the class room if we use real life activities this type of class learning became very fruitful. If I say to my students to find the capacity of an unknown object, where I wants to know how much liquid can be occupied by it. Interesting, I have to teach my students to visualize the object type of visual shapes then they would find the Volume and convert it into the capacity. Students will check the result by filling that new object through known object which capacity already known. They realize what teacher teaches has some significance and more than logic. Otherwise they just solve the word problems and unaware about the use of it.

In Engineering, Medical, Agriculture everywhere we use so many things, which we already learn in the class room. so, we teachers must relate all other things with real life and experience through research.

Classroom Learning

Pictorial Story-writing

Teachers often face challenges in teaching in their day-to-day practice. These teaching experiences make teachers very efficient in their classroom teaching and also learning.
I had an experience of teaching as a teacher for 12 years. But I had faced lots of challenges, problems yearly in my classroom. At the same time, I learned from these challenges and issues and exploring the same with my school children.

At present, I am a class teacher for IV standard students and these were the same students for whom I had taught when they were I std too. Hence I am gifted to know about the progression of their learning abilities and various other skills over the years. I practiced and followed the pictorial method of teaching and learning in my classroom for language teaching. So, I thought of different ways of teaching the children so that they understand and learn.
 
 
One such way was to relate any commonly used words like sun, moon, tree, etc. to their pictures. Every week, I give the student a task of reading at least ten words both in English and Tamil and the student has to show the corresponding pictures of the used words in the picture given. By the end of I std, the student would read and understand, also draws almost 1000 words.

In the next year, the student could confidently read sentences relating various pictorial representations to the context given. This way all the students could read and understand. I can proudly say in my class, out of 30 children 27 children can read and understand very well and the other 3 children also can read but at a slower pace.

And now I improvised this picture method to the pictorial story method. It became a successful one and I learned so much from my student also. Each and every student in my class are capable of writing stories of their own with pictures and this process continues and I keep on learning.

"Classroom is the foundation. The real construction is done in a quiet room where we school ourselves. Learning has no end...It never stops."

History

The Lost Panchen Lama

Story of the lost boy

In the 17th century, it was declared that the current Panchen Lama, would be reincarnated in a child. Following the death of the 10th Panchen Lama, a search was undertaken to discover his reincarnation.

A quarter-century prior, a six-year-old kid was perceived as the resurrection of the Panchen Lama, the second-most elevated positioning figure in Tibetan Buddhism. He expeditiously vanished. Gedhun Choekyi Nyima is perceived by the Dalai Lama as the rebirth of the Panchen Lama, one of the most noteworthy positioning profound pioneers in Tibet, yet this decision was dismissed by the Chinese government, which arrested the kid. The Chinese government named Gyancain Norbu the eleventh Panchen Lama in late 1995. 

A half-year after Gedhun's snatching, China reported that it had chosen a Tibetan kid called Gyaltsen Norbu to turn into the Panchen Lama. Since his determination, Gyaltsen, who lives in Beijing, has just infrequently visited Tibet. His visits are cautiously stage-oversaw and intensely policed Tibetans actually allude to him as the 'Panchen Zuma', or 'bogus Panchen'. 

In May 1996, China conceded that Gedhun and his family were being held at a mystery area and China's envoy to the UN asserted that, "(Gedhun) has been put under the security of the public authority in line with his parents." He didn't state where Gedhun was being held. 

In February 1998, American priests visiting Tibet were informed that Gedhun was in Beijing, yet in March 1998, the bad habit legislative head of Tibetan Autonomous Region Yang Chuantang revealed to Austrian delegates that he was really living in Lhari - the spot of his introduction to the world. In April 1998, a third area was advanced when a British columnist was informed that Gedhun was examining, perhaps in Gansu Province. 

The Chinese government still refuses to reveal Gedhun's whereabouts or respond to requests from the United Nations and Western governments to check on his wellbeing.

Classroom Learning

Importance of Extracurricular

The term extracurricular is a variation of the extra prefix, which means "on the outside and curriculum, which means "a running course/career." 
Activities that come beyond the framework of your daily education are extracurricular activities. 
Completing extracurricular activities ensures that you go beyond and above the criteria for education.

Benefits of Extra-Curricular Activities

1. Enhanced Student Success 

Some students fear that it will take too much time out of their schoolwork to engage in extracurriculars, harming their grades; however, extracurricular experiences will potentially boost your grades and your school attitude in general! You will improve your brain function, help you relax and control your time efficiently by engaging in things you are excited about, all of which lead to higher grades. High endurance sports, for example, in the face of extreme challenges, can train you to concentrate and develop stamina. When it comes to learning and taking tests, this gives you an edge.

2. Explore preferences and build wider perspectives 

You will have the chance to discover a variety of interests and activate desires you never thought you had when you engage in several different events! 
Plus, subsequently, diversifying your desires broadens your understanding of the universe. 
Think about it this way: you'll start to look at the world from the eyes of a young intellectual when you join a philosophy club.

3. Self-esteem will be higher 

The more you gain success by things that you are excited about the more you can increase your self-confidence. 
Let's assume, for starters, you're very good at mathematics and your teacher encourages you to compete in competitions. You join the school team and begin the national Mathematics Olympiad preparation. You learn how enjoyable math can be and how brilliant you truly are throughout the process, which gives a huge boost to your confidence.

4. Mutual Chances 

Let's be honest, it can be difficult to make friends, but extracurricular sports are one of the best ways to make friends! 
Each extracurricular in which you participate gives you another chance to extend your social network, which while you are searching for a career will also come in handy. 
Plus, you'll be more likely to be more personally involved if you make friends with your extracurricular activities.

5. Effective Pauses 

Extracurricular events give you, away from school, something fun to do. It also gives you the ability to discover your interests to find stuff that you might be involved in outside scholars while taking some time off hitting the book 
Take the break you need and you deserve it!

6. Important Skills in Life 

One of the biggest benefits of extracurricular activities provides you with "real world" skills in addition to all the advantages of extracurricular activities we have already addressed. In your extracurricular endeavors, the more you drive yourself, the more you grow these talents. You could enter the school coding club, where you can learn teamwork, problem-solving and critical thinking skills if you are passionate about coding.
But you could take your enthusiasm even further to build your own coding club, where you can cultivate the ability to set goals, control time, prioritize, manage, and talk publicly. 

Phew!-Phew! That is a lot of transparency. Each and every move will give you a new ability for the rest of your life that you will use.

7. Shiny Resumes 

One of the only ways recruiting managers can determine your skill and work ethic is by your extracurricular experiences without any prior work experience. 
For starters, if you were on a debate team, the boss will know that you work well with others can make a case professionally, and have knowledge in public speaking - all fantastic qualities to have in the workplace! 


Although you're already still interested in out-of-school sports, take the opportunity to learn about the advantages of extracurricular activities and how to enhance your interests. 
From finding a career, applying to colleges abroad, to simply living your life, the lessons you will learn from engaging in successful extracurricular activities will benefit you with everything. 
So go join a club, start a class or volunteer online. What's waiting for you?.
