What I liked most ?
* The concept of Career Guidance Resource Room in every school.
* Mapping the present syllabus with Careers available, during teaching by all teachers.
* Clips from the Bollywood movies related to careers were interesting to deliberate upon.

SDG Post # 33 International Project #Everyday_Kindness

April 2018
Panic in Phagwara !
People had taken to the streets !
People were abusing and accusing each other !
Schools closed !
Markets closed !
Traffic diverted !
No entry to Phagwara City !
Shoot out ! Curfew ! Red Alert !
Violence and hatred let loose !
"Kindness was missing".......

Where are you Lady Kindness ??
How to Preach, Practice and Propagate SDGoal No.- 16
"Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions"

In These Testing Times;

When the social fabric has become weak..

When one man has become the enemy of the other..

When "I" is above the society..
Kindness comes to the rescue !
Thanks to Nam Ngo Thanh for "Everyday Kindness" Project !

Revisited Kindness with 35 students of Grade-III.

We deliberated :-

• What is Kindness ?
• How Kindness can be Practiced ?
• How Kindness is so Precious ?
• How Kindness leads to Peace ?

We wore "Kindness Glasses" to value Kindness.
We recorded acts of Kindness in our Kindness Sheets.
We practiced Kindness with our peers in the School.

The Kindness reminder : 
Is the Kindness Tree. We love it for the kindness messages we hung on it.

The Kindness Flame :
Is the School walk. We love it for the visit to Grade- XII class. We took a Kindness pledge with our seniors.

Had all my fears with me. Plenty of challenges. A little worried. How to tread this road less travelled by me?  But oh! what learning on this less traversed path. What support we got from Marjolein!

OneNote April 17 TeachSDGs was my favourite read. Was introduced to Tweetdeck. Loving it now! How to schedule your tweets beforehand? Not aware earlier.

SDG's Post# 31 #MSFTEduChat #TweetMeet

Participating in TweetMeet is an honour and a privilege for me, especially when it is on SDG's.

SDG's are our Personal Goals,

SDG's are our Local Goals;

SDG's are our Global Goals.

In Kamla Nehru Public School, India , we practice them day in and day out. SDG's have been mapped with our curriculum for all classes.

For #MSFTEduChat on 17th April, 2018 at 10:30 PM IST, lots of efforts and training has gone during the preparation period.

Learnt about TweetDeck, Buffer, Filters and Search pictures, videos and tweets.

Shared "What is TweetDeck?" with 60+ Educators of KNPS on 12 April, 2018.
