My Mar Theophilus Diaries by Arpitha: Do Not Dwell In The Past, Do Not Dream Of The Future, Concentrate The Mind On The Present Moment

Dear Anne,

It was another mesmerizing as well as a regular college day. The sky was clear and visible. Everyone seems to be happy after the holidays. I felt college regained its previous energy and vibrant after a few days.we were welcomed by the beautiful, enchanting Christmas tree in the college. It creates the flowers of coming hopes and happiness in our minds.

First session was our optional Physical Science. Neena mam entered the class and gave an introduction to the mandatory works we have to complete before January 3, including assignment, presentations. She remembered us about the hectic time schedule that we are going to face in the future. And there was a small introduction of our new friend Anju, she sang a beautiful, heart touching song for us. Later, teacher discussed about Science- Theoretical basis, nature. Numerous thoughts , opinions were gathered .

Yes, ' Science is a way of thinking, much more than it is a body of knowledge' .

Later it was Joju sir's class. He briefly described about the semester 1 technology paper and divided the assignment topics also. His class is always interesting because of his thoughts and songs .

Afternoon session was also taken by Joju sir . In that session he discussed about the Difference between Technology in education and Technology of education and different definitions and scope of educational technology.

'Educational technology is the application of scientific method and techniques to education'.

After that, we went the library. The smiling faces of books welcomed us to their world. There is a large collection of books so we can fly with anything. Our minds and thoughts scattered everywhere.

'Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improve our qualities of life'.

In the Evening , we have a seminar by Insight Indepth of MTTC on the topic Indicators of teacher effectiveness, by Sindhu Sarah mam. She deeply explained about the knowledge of a teacher, and teaching indicators.
