Hi Hearty Welcome to My Blog!
I am Avtar, pursuing Graduate Diploma in Tertiary Education at Otago Polytechnic. I am from India.My home town is Jalandhar in Punjab. Punjab is known all over the world because people from Punjab migrated to different countries of the world. The climate and geographical conditions are suitable for the cultivation of food crops and that is why it is known as bread basket of India.
I taught Economics, Geography and Environmental Education at St. Mary's Convent School . It is a catholic school which has a developed infrastructure.Therefore, it was quite helpful to improve my teaching and use of digital techniques in learning process.
I have completed Master's in Economics, and Bachelor of Education from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar. Although I am familiar with the modern trends in education yet I feel a lot is left to learn. So I joined G.D.T.E. which will enable me to learn , understand and adapt with the changing trends in the field of education at world level.

Hi Avtar...
ReplyDeleteI like your comment about the need for a good relationship with learners!

Hi Paul
DeleteThanks , I hope so and seek guidance from you to improve my teaching skills which will enable me to grow in my field.
Hi Avtar,
ReplyDeleteYour home in Punjab sounds lovely. I am interested in the environmental education you taught in the past, I wonder how it might differ from the content we would teach over here. - if at all. As an economist you might be interested in going to this talk on Wednesday night by Nicole Foss:

Hi Helen
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you for your interest in Environmental Education.The content is blending of theory and practical.I was always interested to organize campaigns for awareness about environment, planting trees in the community land and many more.
All right you are going to attend that lecture and kindly inform me that it can also be accessed by following that link.
