OPEN DAY WITH A DIFFERENCE
On 5th January the Open Day after PT3 for classes I to XII was held at Podar World School, Sherkhi. As always, it was a hectic yet resourceful day with parents pouring in adhering to the time slot given to them and waiting patiently at times to discuss with the class teachers and subject teachers about the performance of their wards. The French day also formed a part of the Open Day, as the learners had picked up a good degree of French, especially phrases of courtesies, names of few objects, simple sentences of introduction and names of numbers. A few students from all the classes with the cut outs of French monument like Eiffel towers, placed as back drop stood at the open space of every floor to greet the parents in French and inviting them to share pleasantries in French and even to try their hands at pronouncing French numbers.
As the revolutionary initiative AR had formed a part of the pedagogy and had been the buzz word for quite sometime, there was a sale of SD Cards wherein the textual contents of science and maths of different classes were saved by AR technique so as to impart the content in a manner which becomes as if learning, observing the concept in action thus making the abridged reality to augmented reality. The day kept the parents busy as they moved from their ward’s class to places where the demonstrations of SD Cards were carried out and the French activity was going on.
Thanks to the Chairman, Shri Raghav Podar for initiating such advanced technology in academics for making the teaching-learning process not only interesting and intriguing but also a long lasting experience for both the teacher and the taught. On the whole it was a eventful day.
