Using optimistic language in the classroom can change the way children learn and respect themselves and the others:

- While delivering lecture in class many of us are unaware that we are addressing the minds and hearts with the powerful tool of communication and hence are not very mindful of the choice of words.

- Teachers have the opportunity to reframe students’ pessimistic statements into more optimistic ones.

- The kind of language that the students use also can reflect the thoughts that they have about themselves.

The height of concentration strategies:

 - Image product: The isolator helmet  This helmet was an early attempt to solve a psychological problem (distraction) with a hardware solution.  The isolator helmet was a device invented by Hugo Gernsback in 1925 to help people concentrate and eliminate distractions. The helmet was made of wood and felt, and had three pieces of glass that allowed the wearer to see only a narrow slit in front of them.  The helmet also blocked out all sounds, and had a tube that supplied oxygen to the wearer. The idea was that by isolating the senses, the wearer could focus better on reading or writing.  However, the helmet also had some drawbacks, such as making the wearer drowsy after 15 minutes, and being very bulky and uncomfortable. Gernsback claimed that the helmet was 90-95% efficient in blocking out noise, but he only made 11 helmets and they disappeared by 1926. The isolator helmet was featured in Gernsback’s magazine Science and Invention, and later inspired other simil...

Online Schools and eclectic curriculum:

 - Online schools, while offering flexibility and accessibility, come with several disadvantages, particularly when they employ a mixed eclectic curriculum. An "eclectic curriculum" typically means drawing from various teaching philosophies and methods, aiming to personalize learning. While this sounds good in theory, in an online setting, it can lead to unique challenges. Here are the disadvantages of online school, especially one offering a mixed eclectic curriculum: I. General Disadvantages of Online School:  * Lack of Face-to-Face Interaction and Social Isolation:    * Reduced Engagement: Students miss out on spontaneous discussions, immediate feedback, and the dynamic energy of a physical classroom.    * Isolation: The absence of in-person interaction with peers and instructors can lead to feelings of loneliness, reduced motivation, and a diminished sense of community.    * Limited Social Skill Development: Opportunities for developing crucia...

How does AI tools generate quick answers:

 - What is the main technology you use to make answers? (The above question is asked to Google's Gemini AI) Below is the answer:  The core technology I use to generate my answers is a Large Language Model (LLM). Here's a simplified breakdown of what that means and how it works: 1. The Foundation: A Massive Dataset An LLM is a type of artificial intelligence built on a massive dataset of text and code. This includes a huge portion of the internet, books, articles, and other public text. By analyzing this enormous amount of data, the model learns the statistical relationships between words, sentences, and concepts. It's not "memorizing" the information, but rather learning the patterns, grammar, and context of human language. 2. The Architecture: Neural Networks and Transformers The "engine" of a Large Language Model is a type of deep learning model called a neural network, specifically a Transformer model. This architecture is particularly good at process...

Challenges faced by school counsellors as per study undertaken in India (Part 1.12)--:

 - Counselling skills are seen as an important area in educational institutions. The education boards like CBSE mandates schools to appoint counsellor. The schools which have appointed counsellors in the school environment, the counsellor face few challenges, as school involves multiple stakeholders- Teachers, Children, Parents, Management, Civil society (Civil society- When school is involved with collaborative programs with external institutions). There are some kinds of stigma attached to counsellor and counselling practices. When counsellor calls children to meet, they become very conscious to go to the counsellor even to have general interaction. Some responded that if a child goes to a dedicated counsellor, the child might think he has negativity in him. A counsellor said that rapport building takes much time. Children are afraid because they have misinformation about counselling. Class 1st to 5th children know counsellor as a Lifeskills teacher and not as a counsellor. It he...
