EXHIBITION ON TERRACE TOP  MY REAL LIFE INCIDENT ON CHILD REARING . . Tamil TRANSLATION /தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு .. Even when my daughters were very young, I had encouraged them to engage themselves in many arts like drawing, painting and making toys from things available at home. Hence, right from LKG itself my daughters were famous among their classmates in their school. They used to draw very well and so all the kids used to crowd in front of my daughters and insist them to draw a drawing in their notebooks. At home, using thermocol and clay I will teach them to do something interesting. Using ice cream cups and string,  I will make a telephone. Then using thermocol and a blaze, I will demonstration to make table, chairs and other furniture toy. When my kids were very young, they used to draw something in a piece of paper and show that to me. If it was really good, I would say with a bright smile something like, “Good, great, excellent …” etc. Then I will say ...

Educating kids using a Television

Educating kids using a Television My Experiences in Teaching Article 5 Another area on which I am doing my research is the T.V Educational C hannels. I capture T.V programs in my web camera and then give a voice dubbing in Tamil. (Now in youtube.com we may have lot of content) There is no doubt that T.V can be used as an excellent educational tool in schools. However, I think that we are yet to start exploiting that medium in India. I think very easily a teacher can play a video on a subject for 10 or 15 minutes and then interact with the students in many ways. He can interact with my students by asking them simple questions and make them explain in their own words what they saw. **** **** ****

The frog class I took for the UKG kids

A Spoken English class with a live frog, I took for the UKG kids   Article 4 . .. Another day, I trapped a small frog hardly half an inch in size from the school corridor. I took it to the UKG class. I put it on my hand and I allowed the small frog to jump all over me. All along I was talking in English many simple sentences about the frog. I also made the class repeat what I said. I was thrilled to see the kids jump with joy. However, letting out the frog alive out of the class room was a great challenge for me. This was the method I adopted to teach them " Spoken English " for UKG kids. *** *** ***

Tape Recorder as a Teaching Tool

My Experiences in Teaching Article 3 Another day, I took the tape recorder to the UKG class and asked the kids to call out their names loudly and recorded their voice in the Taper Recorder. Then I played it back. The kids jumped with joy on hearing their recorded voices from the tape recorder. I was elated to see the enjoyment in those young buds. The UKG class teacher was amused to know that with very little effort, using a tape recorder we can make the class very interesting for young children. ***   ***   ***

Learning to write:LION

 Teaching to write "LION" -- My experiences in Teaching .. Article 2 Using computer to kindle interest in education for “dull” students The Principal, Mr.Muthukumar of the village school I worked was a very nice gentleman. He gave me appropriate encouragement and a very free hand in experimenting many things. Hence, I used to assemble the " dullest " students from standards 1 to 6 and conduct innovative computer based classes to them using Multi-media software like Encarta Encyclopaedia and kindle their interest in learning. First " see " the picture of a lion. Then " hear " its roar. Then " write " the word "lion" To elaborate on this, I will make a kid type a word like " LION " into the encyclopaedia program. Within a few seconds, we get pictures of "lion" in the screen. If I click on a picture we hear the roaring of a lion in the speaker. Then I would go to the black board and write ...
