Creative chat!
Prof introduced to us a different approach in learning. That is using chat as a way to share our vision and at the same time experience chat as a tool for learning.Today we were required to chat on 'how I want my future classroom to be'. We were supposed to think from a technological perspective. It was fun because all of us came out with many creative ideas to make the classroom a perfect one. An air-conditioned classroom, should have internet access, toilets in classroom, each pupils has a computer....and many more! But the question is, will all the ideas come to reality. Well, it is possible if everyone work for it and give full support as they are aware of the miracles of technology. But, in my personal opinion, future teachers should not only focus on technology but give some importance for the non-technological tools or the traditional methods such as flaash cards, authentic materials, classroom games and so on because they are more real and remain in the pupils' mind! So, teachers should form a balance in both technology and non-technology items....

Fish Philosophy! Ops WHats' THat?
Be There, Play, Make Their Day and Choose Your Attitude! These are the 4 main practices in the FISH PHILOSOPHY! FISH! is a continuous journey with good sense that everyone can adopt. It is an invitation that enables people to care about each other and their commitments to the world. It is a practice and a skill that progress over time creating a positive atmosphere for an individual’s workplace and develop a vibrant and energetic culture too.
So... these are some knowledge that i knew about fish philosophy. Our prof did her best in explaining this philosophy to us. She brought in fishes to class and started throwing them to us and asked us to do so..We were stunned and shocked at first. But, then, we realised that it is to do with this Fish Philosophy. Interesting Start i was thinking.. It is applicable for primary kids too because it tends to provide motivation and encouragement to them..So, why don't we try iT??
