In India the Teachers' Day is celebrated on 5 Sept in memory of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. It is all about celebrating "being a teacher".

HAPPY TEACHERS DAY

Wishing all teachers in India a very "Happy Teachers Day". Wish there were more such days to celebrate for teachers. This small piece does deserve a place in this blog on technology as "Teaching/ Teacher" is incomplete without the "Learner". Teaching is more about relationship (teacher-pupil) than anything else. Any amount of technology is useless unless there is acceptance from the learner and there is the right impact on them. Lets pledge on thid day to mould our teaching-learning to how learners learn rather than how we teach. Sharing with you a beautiful poem about Teacher ( Author Unknown).
