2️⃣Share anything interesting, good, amazing or unexpected that happened last week. Use your own image if it's possible.
Something that happened last week at a 2-Day seminar I was called for. This seminar is for the selected teachers in Lagos state.
I will share the interesting part and the unexpected part of the seminar.
Myself on the first day
The title of the seminar is CAPACITY BUILDING ON THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY ACROSS THE CLASSROOM
The seminar started at exactly 9am from the registration of individual participants to the introduction of the guest facilitators and the team behind the seminar/ training.
The seminar started that, majority of the teachers are still teaching using the old methods of teaching. Do we still have teachers like that in this digital age? Yes we do. This brought about different questions a
answers and arguments from participants. A lot of opinions was shared and suggestions made but can teachers really be digitalized?
I stood up to share my experience, I have been using electronic notes to teach for the past 3years which at first I had my challenges with my HOD, who refused to adopt the method for a whole term, he insisted in the manual note but after a while he accepted. Why did he accept? I was so adamant in presenting my e-notes every week to his table and I able to defend my reasons for using e-notes instead of the usual way of writing manually.
So many monitoring officers has come to question the use of e-notes but I stood my ground to explain and it was accepted by all. At the seminar, so many people were saying that their principals and others are kicking against it not knowing that they need to defend the use with all seriousness.
I told them how I have been able to use different digital apps to teach my students and also the use of edupack in schools across Lagos state, Nigeria is a way of helping teachers to reduce the workload on how to mark and start recording in a manual sheet. We don't do manual results anymore because we are in the era of digital, so, everything has to be digital.
Different Apps was introduced for example, Kahoot, Quizziz,Classroom,Dropbox, Educreation,StudyBook,storyBird and so on. A lot of interesting things was shared during the training. It was fun to be a beneficiary. A lot unknown things was introduced.
The unexpected
The unexpected that happened was while I stood up talking , this fine trouser that I wore gave me the unexpected. I discovered breeze entering through my thighs and I refused to believe the otherwise. This breeze kept passing through and I decided to check🤥 what did I discover? My fine trouser has turned, the hole is between my two laps to my ANUS🤦 Yee! I don die o🙆🙆 who did I offend🤷 my village people has finally catch up with me o🤔 a lot of things was running through my mind🙆 where will I get another cloth to change😥
This particular trouser I wore on the second day gave me the unexpected. To think that I have done a lot of standing and sitting got my heart beating fast.. Was is it funny? It wasn't at all. How did I get over? I removed my blazer to cover up my trousers but what I was wearing as a camisole was sleeveless, short and small but I manage it like that o. I went outside to call my husband to relay the experience, he was just laughing and teasing me on the phone. Not funny o😥
This person beside me never know wetin I dey pass through o but I just dey laugh with one mind. I refused to stand up again till the end of the program.
