55th Day of Lock-Down

Jestha 4th, Sunday
           2077

After getting fresh, I turned on the radio and listened to the BBC. And then did some physical exercise. Then I got my daughter to get up and helped her to get fresh. We had tea and started our daily duty of doing homework. Today, it was English period. I made her write A-Z, a-z, Aa-Az, Names of body parts, Names of domestic animals, Names of 7 days, Copy the name of 12 months. My daughter did everything perfectly. Along with helping her, I completed an online course from Johns Hopkins University America on COVID-19 Contact Tracing. Then I joined NELTA Online Conference of Province No.7 where there was a panel discussion between Dr. Laxman Gyawali, Mrs. Madhu Neupane and Dr. Jai Raj Awasthi on ' Research Avenues:Process, Possibilities and Challenges'. Then after lunch,  from 10 to 11 NELTA Chitwan conducted a training session on ' Collaboration Using Google Tools' by google certified Trainer and Innovator Mr. Sushil Upreti from GEG Ktm. It was wonderful session to learn about different google tools such as google drive, docs, forms, jamboard, classroom etc.. Then throughout the day I spent on google tools and youtube to learn about google forms, automatic certificate formation and others. 
                             In the afternoon, I again joined the NELTA Conference where Dr. Minh Ngyen from New Zealand presented o 'Pragmatics in the Second Language Classroom'. Similarly Mrs. Sarita Dewan, the training coordinator of NELTA reviewed the role of NELTA during lock down period to empower ELT teachers. Likewise Prof. Gabriel Hugo Diaz Maggioli, the vice-president of TESOL, discussed on 'Fab Fout': Teacher Education Mataphors We Teach By'. All the sessions were useful and appropriate to the time. In the evening I along with Bunu and Basundhara,  enjoyed the light breeze in the terrace. They after 7 :00 PM, Basundhara started cooking supper and Bunu and me started watching TV and learning online.  After having supper at 8:30 I sat for blogging.
