Teaching cum Learning Experience at Vivekananda College of Education(VCE): A step Towards Becoming Techno Academician



To write about experience and to disseminate information and knowledge is my motto of life. In the Four Day Internship (3 days for me) at VCE fulfilled my motto of life to some extent because I got both knowledge and the chance to spread it with the pupil teachers of the college. I enjoyed a lot in teaching at the same time learned many things from students, my peer and the college.
I spend much time with my laptop, my smartphone in exploring new things and here I am success that I could apply what I learned. We peer teachers first demonstrated things like wiki, portfolio, blog and then we reached to every individual to help him/her out to complete the task. Many of the students did not even have email ids although they are having smartphones ( It is because they are from Andaman and internet connectivity is very less there) , so we reached to the grass root level of teaching technology by helping them creating their email Ids first. And then taking each individual and helping him/her in all possible manner to create first edmodo account , then wiki page of their home town , e-portfolio, and blog.








One of the attractive part of the internship was the adoption of new techniques of teaching. The team teaching technique used by my peers was something different and the reflection of the students proved that it was fruitful. Dividing the class into small groups and involving one two of us with the group was a great strategy we adopted as it gave immense result. In the short span of time we made it possible to complete each task. 
The attitude, behavior and eagerness and curiosity of the pupil teachers' is what made our task success joyfully. The respect given by them was overwhelming which in every point of our internship made us feel that yes we are working as teacher educators. For me the environment of the college was very homely as most of the students are Bengali speaking there ( As most of them are from Andaman). 
A question was raised by a student what is the use of edmodo ,it is merely wastage of time like we do in whatsapp and facebook. The answer is what we have learnt in all these four days is all the use of it and it is edmodo for which every one is able to read each others reflections, suggestions, comments.
Lastly I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to our guide Dr Sreekala E as well as the principal of VCE Dr. (Mrs.) Raghi P. Nair who gave us the golden opportunity to do this wonderful internship. Secondly I would like to thank my peer would be teacher educators for their co-operation and support, Special thanks to day scholars for their delicious lunch.
