Bringing Joy to Classrooms - 0 views

  •  
    Teaching as everyone knows, is a very noble profession. But what most don't realize is that it is also a very demanding and challenging profession. The responsibility of educating young minds and shaping their future is enormous. Added to that, a teacher's task is to mingle with the young ones on their terms and make the classroom a fun place.

Why Students Should Run Professional Development For Teachers - 0 views

  • In my technology class, students are creating video tutorials that explain how their teachers can use various technologies and platforms (currently we’re making tutorials for Google Apps). The videos are simple for students to make, and we use Snagit to create a video recording of the computer screen, so teachers can see exactly how to use a product with audio narration from the student.  Screencasts also allow for anytime, anyplace, any pace learning on any device, which is ideal for a teacher’s busy lifestyle?” These student-created videos are important for two key reasons:
  • Students also love having input on their education. Asking them to help train teachers on technology and platforms they like and use empowers them, and captures their interest, so that when class begins, students are already prepared and engaged. That’s why my class – and hopefully many schools around the country – is making use of the technology and experts that we already have on site to enhance the learning experiences for students and teachers.

Mrs. Dutta Writes a Letter - 98.04 - 0 views

    • Van Piercy
       
      Interruptions of family and memory by media. Invasiveness of technology.

  • labor strike, everything closed down, not even the buses running. But you can't really blame them, can you? After all, factory workers have to eat too.
  • Are you happy in America?
  • Mrs. Dutta knows that Mrs. Basu, who has been her closest friend since they both moved to Ghoshpara Lane as young brides, cannot be fobbed off with descriptions of Fisherman's Wharf and the Golden Gate Bridge, or even with anecdotes involving grandchildren. And so she has been putting off her reply, while in her heart family loyalty battles with insidious feelings of -- but she turns from them quickly and will not name them even to herself.
    • Van Piercy
       
      What is Mrs. D. struggling with? What are her concerns? What are her "insidious feelings"?
  • children being allowed to close their doors against their parents.
    • Van Piercy
       
      Culture clash over ideas of privacy and individuality.
  • though the minty toothpaste does not leave her mouth feeling as clean as does the bittersweet neem stick she's been using all her life.
  • "But, Mom, she's in there. She's been there forever... " Mrinalini says.
  • Whenever she lifted her hand to him, her heart was pierced through and through. Such is a mother's duty.
    • Van Piercy
       
      Conflicting ideas of corporal punishment and the role or place (?) of familial, maternal bonds.
  • Mrs. Dutta bends over the sink, fists tight in the folds of her sari. Hard with the pounding in her head to think what she feels most -- anger at the children for their rudeness, or at Shyamoli for letting them go unrebuked. Or is it shame she feels (but why?), this burning, acid and indigestible, that coats her throat in molten metal?
    • Van Piercy
       
      Difficulty of the culture clash, its costs.

  • For this she blames, in part, the Olan Mills portrait. Perhaps it was foolish of her to set so much store by a photograph, especially one taken years ago. But it was such a charming scene -- Mrinalini in a ruffled white dress with her arm around her brother, Pradeep chubby and dimpled in a suit and bow tie, a glorious autumn forest blazing red and yellow behind them. (Later Mrs. Dutta was saddened to learn that the forest was merely a backdrop in a studio in California, where real trees did not turn such colors.)

      Fake America.

  • She knew she should not store unclean clothes in the same room where she kept the pictures of her gods. That would bring bad luck. And the odor.

  • "No, no, no, clothes and all is no work for the man of the house. I'll do it."
    • Van Piercy
       
      Old gender roles, but also her sense of modesty.
  • So she has taken to washing her clothes in the bathtub when she is alone
  • Ignorance, as Mrs. Dutta knows well from years of managing a household, is a great promoter of harmony
