Remix, Reimagine, Innovative: Creating New Wave of possibilities

In the field of education, sometimes copying the content is considered as negative because of the doubt that the orignal ideas of the material are missing, but it’s not always true. To build the curriculum design, it should be the blending of ideas with other resources so that the lesson plan can meet the needs of the different learners. It involves the different academic textbooks, connection of the concept with different grade levels, involvement of technology to create a dynamic curriculum fulfills the requirements of learner- centred approach. As this picture is representing the mixture of ideas in the lesson plans gives something new.

The principles of remixing of ideas in education plays an essential role as how the educators borrows the different ideas and by merging those different perspectives they transforms into the new possibilities. Therefore, connecting the different subjects such as in science subject, the mixing of collaborating work and involving the mathematical concepts, art, and English subject is a great challenge for the teachers to engage the students in a particular subject so that learners can able to grasp the different concepts at s one time, so it’s all depends on the blending of different techniques.

When the mixing of ideas is done ethically, transparently that is in a correct manner than it makes the curriculum more inclusive as teacher become successful in creating a classroom more engaging and enjoful.

In the technological era, AI is helpful for the teachers to assist them in many ways. As AI analyze the students data and offer more ways to creative ideas which are helpful for the overall development of child. It’s give fruitful result in the field of education, when educators modify the lesson plans, adapt different teaching tools, and design the assessment for the different learner’s because it’s true that every child is unique and learn from different styles. Moreover, Once I saw the video, where the teacher used the AI to build the pictures of her students that how they will look in their future, if they will be dedicated to follow their passion, it makes the classroom learning more enjoyable. As a result the change and blending of ideas is necessary to make the students creative will leads to sparkling outcomes.

Self Introduction in Deutschland “Sich Vorstellen” (Writing)

→ Hello Everyone,

On previous weekend I just tried to get work on the introduction because getting to know about ourselves and to express about us is one of the most important thing. Therefore, I worked on the introduction sentences. In German language introducing yourself is known as “sich vorstellen”.So let’s begin,

My name is Nancy.I

Ish heiße Nancy.

Kindly remember that the ß sign has here there sound of ss.

Another way of saying your name is

Ish bin Nancy…. Which means

I am Nancy.

This sentence is generally used among the friends. In the German language it’s very important to know that which sentence is formal and informal,

The other sentence to introduce your name is

Mein Name ist Nancy.

My name is Nancy.

So, the sentences of Deutsch language I am putting together of saying your name:

1.Ish heiße Nancy.

2.Ish bin Nancy.

3.Mein Name is Nancy.

Even though at the end of the sentences in German language used to put the full stop to make the sentence end as same as English language.

Now let’s talk about how to say surname then how to say, for example the surname of the person is Pannu, then

My surname is Pannu.

Mein familienname ist Pannu.

I am from Germany or

I am from Punjab, then we write

Ich komme aus Deutschland.

Ich komme aus Punjab.

We can replace Deutschland with any country or state name.

Get ready for my next blog post, where I’ll be sharing tricks on how to deliver a confident self-introduction. To take it to the next level, I’ll also be creating a video tutorial that will guide you through the process, helping you to make a lasting impression and own the room with confidence.

As an educator, I believe that digital literacy should be an essential subject in the schools because many students are not aware about the risks that come along with the social media. It is a major responsibility of an educator to make understand their students about the online privacy settings, risks of sharing personal information. Moreover, spotting the misinformation or a fake video so that the learners can become the responsible users of technology.

Update on my German Language

Hello everyone,

Welcher Tag ist heute?

What day is it today?

In my learning journey of the German language, I practiced a lot about the days of the week and invested my time in how to speak because in any language the days of the week (Die Wochentage) play a crucial role.

Practice of speaking

The pronunciations weren’t the easiest at first—especially sounds like “ch” in Mittwoch or the rolled “r” in Freitag that’s why last week I just practiced the words only. German has some unique sounds that take practice, but I kept at it! I listened to native speakers, repeated words out loud, and broke them down into syllables. Since I know pronunciation can be tricky for learners.

Here is a short video where I practiced the days of week, through that we can practice that how to speak them correctly as to boost our language it is an essential part of daily conversation. It can be used while travelling, booking events or making plans in the German language. Moreover, using the different language enhances the memory and problem-solving.

I hope you will find it useful, to make easier for my other friends to pick up as who are willing to learn a new language. Stay tuned!

 Montag Monday
 Dienstag Tuesday
 Mittwoch Wednesday
Donnerstag Thursday
Freitag Friday
Samstag Saturday
 Sonntag Sunday

Knowing the days of week in German are crucial steps and how to speak out are the important steps in our language journey. One more thing I would like to share that the word “Tag” means day, as all the other days end with the tag except “Wednesday” which is called “Mittwoch” the word simply means- midweek. Moreover, “Sunday” in German is Sonntag and it comes from Sonne, which is the German word for “Sun”. So Sonntag is literally “Sun-day”.

The more we practice usibg new words in different contexts, the more confident and comfortable  we will become in the conservations because german language has unique sounds which need lots of patience and practice so practice is essential because it helps to reinforce that what we learn and to make the conversation more natural.

Deutsch Land- Gateway to New Opportunities (2)

Hello everyone, last week I talked about my starting journey toward my Deutsch Language where I discussed the alphabet and how to spell those letters, but when I was thinking about the German language to learn smoothly it’s not my style to pick any language from the grammar rules itself. Therefore, I got the idea to start the German language with some phrases or daily expressions without making our journey language complicated.

I tried to break the monotony without giving stress to learn any kind of grammatical rules, because learning a language is a kind of fun and unique skill to shape our personality.

Hallo- Hello

Danke- Thank you

Vielen Dank- Thank you so much

Willkommen- Welcome

Wie geht’s? – How are you?

Mir geht’s gut. – I am going well.

Mir geht’s nicht gut. – I am not doing well.

Guten Morgen- Good Morning

Guten Abend- Good Evening

Above are the small used daily expressions or we can say the common words which are most important to know as by practicing daily we can learn to say smoothly such as how to greet someone, thank you or to ask about how are the important words to start any conversation with someone. These words allowed me a little sense of achievement and happiness that helped to boost my confidence that one day I would be able to learn this beautiful language fluently. Practice makes perfect, so consistency is a key to learn and try to use these all words into your practice, and stay tuned because the best is yet to come.

Back to Focus: Keeping Classrooms Phone Free

Keeping digital gadgets such as mobile phones in the classrooms leads to distraction. If I talk about my personal experience, we were instructed not to bring mobile phones with us. I as an educator, believe in the change that positively impacts society, for instance, technology is a powerful tool to search for any kind of information. Using Technology makes learning more enjoyable, and developing technological skills for the future. However, we should be aware of the consequences of using too many gadgets, and relying on mobile phones in the classroom is not suitable to give information to students. As a result, if the classrooms are mobile-free then students can concentrate better on the lesson plan without any distractions of their notifications, phone calls, social media, games, and messages.

A distraction-free environment will leads to sparkling outcomes with deeper engagement, leading to better understanding. Moreover, by interaction with each other, students will get to know the skills and manners that how to behave with each other nicely. Otherwise, with the mobiles phone, learners likely to spend their time only on social sites rather than actual communicating with their peers. Without mobile phones, students would like to talk with each other face to face that helps to build collaboration, strong relationships, and teamwork skills.

Deutsch Land- Gateway to New Opportunities

Multiple things revolved around my mind when the talk was about skills. I believe that learning is a never-ending process, so I decided to learn a new skill: the Deutsch (German) language, for my personal growth. It is a fascinating language that motivates me to learn something unique and new. I set a goal to initiate my skill with some common words and greetings, but firstly I watched an interesting video on the alphabet of the German language, the German language also has 26 letters same as the English language, so I watched this video numerous times and tried to memorize the pronunciation and tried to speak confidently. There is one article that helped me a lot about mastering the basics that how to spell the letters.

Learn a language takes time, it is just a beginning like a little steps of a baby, I am enjoying the small victories by learning each letter of this beautiful

Therefore, it clearly represents social media popularity and enables the people interconnected with family, and friends. Moreover, social media is a powerful tool to showcase the hidden talent to show all over the world.

Also, enhancement of business or any kind of brand, social media is a powerful tool. It allows all of us to experience and learn about different cultures. On the other hand, excessive use of the social media leads to depression, stress and anxiety among human beings. As a result personal data posted on the social media can leads to cyberbullying and can be misused. Privacy issue is a major problem arising because the fake news and rumors are spreading rapidly causes the confusion among the society and without knowing the actual reality behind the screens people decides to judge the identities of people in seconds. Hence, use abusive language in the comment section, and do trolling. The constant scrolling leads to unhealthy habits as people become addicted to it, especially the young ones, because their brain is still developing, but due to addiction towards social media their brain functioning is adversely affecting academic performance lower, mental disorders such as, anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

But, by trying to limiting the social media apps, by setting some boundaries while eating food, or at work can lesson the temptation to be online. We should try to limit the social media usage with small efforts as by going out to get some fresh air and stay off the phone with friends or in picnic at park will help our mental health and able to achieve the balance between social media activities and can do care of our mental health.
