My First Class

By Learning Curve | May 17, 2018

I have been working in the Azim Premji School, Dineshpur (Uttarakhand) from February 6, 2012. Our school came into operation with effect from April 10, 2012. A month before that, we went around Dineshpur, visiting homes and gathering information from parents about the children – children going to school, those who left studies midway, in what circumstances going to school stopped, and whether or not they now wished to resume and complete their studies.

Zero Shadow Day

By Worth Sharing | May 16, 2018

It is said that your shadow never leaves you! But, it does twice a year for regions between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

On these two days, the Sun will be exactly overhead at noon and will not cast a shadow of an object on the ground.

The Zero Shadow Day will be different for different places on Earth.

How Important is a Display Board in School?

By Karen Smith | May 12, 2018
The one thing you can observe when you enter the premises of a school is a display board or bulletin board. Most of the time visitors first look at the bulletin boards to learn about the school. The kind of information displayed there, the creativity used to display the information all adds-up for the person to develop a good impression about the school. It creates an impact on the visitor’s mind. Bulletin boards also serve other purposes. They served as a center for knowledge.

Cube Conversations

By Steve Wyborney | May 11, 2018

Cube Conversations is a set of 80 (eighty!) animated lessons designed to promote visually rich math discourse.

You can control the animation with a few simple clicks  – and each click presents an opportunity for students to see and discuss an image in new ways.

The greatest myth that we have encountered in our student life is the idea of a ​ safe future​ and as my physics teacher simply put it for me years ago –

“Work like a donkey for a few years and live the royal life of a horse for the rest of your life”

Tools that can Help Teachers Design Great Lesson Plans

By Worth Sharing | May 2, 2018

You have probably heard it one time too many but we will say it again: teaching is a huge responsibility. Shaping the younger generation's minds and preparing them for life outside the classroom is a tall order which becomes easier with proper research and planning. Moreover, you also need to find the balance between teaching the students what they need to know and giving them enough space to discover and learn by themselves.

Language Teaching - An Experience

By Learning Curve | Apr 25, 2018

Talking about teaching of languages raises a lot of questions in our mind such as what is language, how is it learnt etc. And as we try to understand these questions, the main point which emerges is that language is usually considered to be a medium of expression or is a means of exchanging ideas. When we look at the language in such a limited sense, then our perspective on language teaching also narrows down. And if our thinking about the nature of the subject is limited, then it would certainly impact the way we teach that subject.
