21st CENTURY TEACHING-LEARNING

Oh, yes! Students get bored, and we get bored, too as much as we hate to admit it.  Who wants to hear blah, blah, blah all day?  It is at this point that our creativity and resourcefulness as teachers come into play. At this day and age of technology, no teacher has the right to stick to just being black and white.  The Internet is a gold mine, a spectrum of colors! There is just no limit to what it can do and provide, and our responsibility is to make the most out of it: be creative, be ingenious, be inspired!

LEARNING WHILE HAVING FUN

I remember memorizing the lyrics of any song in an instant, but having a hard time memorizing terms and concepts during my younger years when I was studying.  I wanted to help my students memorize terms and remember concepts in no time, it is for those reasons that I thought of creating short routines with rap or lyrical words and music accompaniment. It is so effective as a starter, or as a respite at the middle of the lesson to pump up the sleepyheads.

You Are Worth It

"As long as you are in my life, I am not going to let quitting be easy for you. I am going to challenge you, confront you, push you, and coach you. You can whine. You can throw a tantrum. You can shout and swear and stomp and cry. And the next day, guess what? I will be here waiting — smiling and patient — to give you a fresh start. Because you are worth it."

The Risk of Taking A Risk

So I have become a teacher again. The decision was not easy for me to make. I had been confounded by fears of the old world, the world which I knew seven years ago. I had been confounded by my inadequacy, irresponsibility, and immaturity—all of which I would have to brazen out again should I decide to take the risk of taking a risk of becoming who I used to be—BUT optimistically a lot better.


I was happy with my job seven months ago; I was happy with the environment. Being in the front line taught me a lot that in fact every skill learned—especially the virtue of patience and art of diplomacy— is now being successfully put into application in my current job, but I felt the need to look forward. As someone who is afraid of the future, taking that drastic back step would mean advancing to the next fifteen years of my life. Being stuck to what fulfilled and sustained me was not an option, thus I closed my eyes as I closed that door of uncertainty. I took the risk of closing that door and reopening an old one. It was not easy but I am managing. Being hammered by international standards is both daunting and challenging. Who I am now is very far from who I was before. If there is something that I regret and feel sorry for in that world of seven years ago, it would be the fact that I shortchanged my students then.


So what is the risk of taking a risk? Nothing. It is going to be win-win after all. If I fail, I still learn. If I succeed, then it is so worth it. The most important thing is having that chance to redeem myself, rectify my past mistakes and give my present students the best that they deserve.
