Improvement in effectiveness of Teaching and Learning How can we improve.... 1) Focus on the spirit of teaching or not as a role inside the classroom. 2) Use those learning materials with which students can relate on a daily basis 3) Focus more on the approach to solve problems rather than tinkering. 4) Involve students to do a pre & post analysis of every problem before and after it is addressed - right from pre-school. 5) Don't focus too much on making a standardized curriculum at the primary levels. Learning environments differ in different places, locations, or societies based on their local needs. 6) Involve parents, teachers, students, and society in identifying real problems of the local area and then use the techniques, tools, or resources to solve them creatively. 7) Always focus on the impact of the effort , time, and money and ask students to explain what they have learnt. 8) Create a cross functional learning environment that is done in industry - which means involv...

Roles of group admin in a WhatsApp group 1. You're the life of the group. Since you've created the group, you're the most important person in it. 2. You take the sole responsibility of resolving disputes within the group. When people fight on the group, you're the first one to tell them to chill. 3. You’re sick of the mean Whatsapp admin jokes. You just don't react to the mean WhatsApp admin jokes anymore. 4. You take the pain of adding new members to the group. You gather contact numbers and add them to the list. That's some great work there. 5. You add people without their will to join the group, but can do nothing about. You know that people don't like being added to the group, but you have to do it because it's an easy way to contact them. 6. You never let people escape the group. If they try to, you add them back. There is no escape from the group. EVER. 7. You break peoples’ hearts by removing them from the ...

A proposal of basic conduct/behavior rules for WhatsApp Groups. 15 points that could save you lots of “WhatsApp headaches”. Something that I’ve always found very “ironic” is that no WhatsApp group (or at least the ones that I am part of) has established “rules of behavior/conduct”, something that would be VERY useful in preventing the saturation of digital trash, memes and senseless/useless debates that only cause negative reactions and, sometimes, even hurt people’s feelings. For this reason, and many more, I have decided to write this article and establish a series of points for anyone to use and promote as a code of conduct in their groups: 1. Respect the purpose and objective of each group.  A “WhatsApp work group” shouldn’t be used to send messages or content of a personal nature, as well as groups of friends and family shouldn’t be used for business purposes.  That’s what direct messages are for. 2. Don’t use groups just to send memes, videos, p...

Neetu Gupta, IUEf Educator for Pooma Educational Trust. Blessings are positive thoughts created for everyone. It is your unconditional good feelings and wishes that travel in the form of pure vibrations to all - A feeling of respect, love, success, well being and help. The best gift you can give to anyone is to bless them. Instead of getting anxious, negative and worried about any concerns, just BLESS them in right state of mind.  You will not even be aware, how powerful your blessings can be. They truly work wonders and can have tremendous positive impact on anyone’s life. For example: when the child is sleeping, put your loving hands on his head and bless him with all good things in life, good health, success, love, anything and everything you want your child to be or have. When he is just playing, studying, eating, just bless him.  If nothing specific comes to your mind just keep saying internally, "God Bless You”. Let us all bless and guide our children, instead o...
