Teaching!

As I woke up early in the morning,a certain idea flashed in my tired brain. I was thinking of the tasks that a teacher has to abide by. Yes,as a teacher I never have a break to think, or even reflect on my own teaching unless it is midnight and my pillow is waiting for my news. Regardless of the job requirements of a teacher such as planning, crafting, collecting,correcting, and evaluating students' achievements, a teacher has to be always READY. Ready for monitoring the behavior of her students, ready to adapt to any new situation that would suddenly pop up, ready to listen and smile back,ready to tie a shoelace for her student, ready to measure his body temperature whenever he feels sick,and finally ready to be a MOM before being a teacher. However, you forget all of this when you see a student running to your lap!!!

    Absolutely right, teaching is one of the hardest jobs that one can has, and still we know how much it is hard to have all these tasks accomplished and finished on time but we enjoy doing them and never think that we want to give up or stop what we have started. As teaches we must keep in mind that whenever we enter the class we must forget all our problems and keep them outside our class in order to give our best, and be fair with our students.

External Beauty.

Once you ask someone about "Beauty", he would reply that beauty comes within the soul. People would run into this answer but they actually form first impressions about a certain person by analyzing his external appearance. Studies have showed that people are usually attracted to tall persons and deny the friendship of shorter ones at the beginning. Research has gone deeper into analyzing what facial expressions would help their holder in establishing quicker relationships. I was surprised when I read about a study that concluded people with wide pupil of their eyes attract more viewers. Some people would eventually prefer the internal beauty and deny the external one. I believe the problem lies in our definition of beauty and the criteria we follow when judging a person -male or female- as beautiful or not. Who ever said that a fat person does not fit the criteria or a red headed boy is not beautiful? Each one has a special kind of beauty away from any ugly criteria that wo...

Authenticity of EDUC 560!!

Educ 560 might seem a simple code that would mean nothing to others but a course. While others are thinking of what they should do to pass this course, my major thoughts revolved around the things I can do to my students and how to benefit myself. Each time that I left the class, I thought about how to use the business cards as ice breaking activity for my little students. I have also found a nicer way to publish students' work through posters or newsletters that can show it all at the first glance. And is there a better place to spread your work worldwide than a blog?  Nothing would last in your memory unless you fetch its use in your real life.

Smart Phones!

Image
I really miss sitting around the table or in a certain place without clicking and pecking in our "SMART" phones. It is impossible to see people gathering without chatting. But what kind of chatting? They keep their heads down and their eyes on a glowing screen for sometimes silly reasons. These advances seem to be so tempting but it doesn't mean that we should give up social life for the sake of social media. I feel sorry sometimes when I see people lacking the social skills to a degree that they can only start a conversation through "Whats-app" or any other social media. When using technology and smart phones for beneficial reasons, no harm can happen. Yet, people of different age levels are using this technological revolution as an escape from real life. I miss seeing a child playing in the mud instead of smashing a candy in " Candy Crush". Are smart phones making us smarter or are we losing part of our intelligence? That part that has to do with t...
