3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue # 55, 27th July 2021

The two key pillars of teaching for future I think are research based strategies and relationship. In my 3 decades of experience as a communicator and educator, I have come to realise how important both are. Not one more or less than the other.

Many of you have asked why did I pick the format 3-2-1 : 3 images, 2 videos and 1 thought for this newsletter that is for students, teachers and parents. The reason is that as an educator, I have used many strategies for teaching that have 3-2-1 elements. I find these interesting, easy to remember and fun at the same time. What do you think? It is also reminiscent of when we had to pose for a group picture and would say 3-2-1 – cheese 🙂 A countdown that always brings a spontaneous smile to my face.

Here are some of the 3-2-1 teaching strategies, please share yours as comment to this post and subscribe to this newsletter, by simply entering your email id here.

And Finally….

Dear reader,

I have been a research scientist, a journalist and an educator for over 3 decades. I read and, I write.  With this weekly newsletter, I intend to share what I read, learn and, experience while I engage with students, parents and teams of teachers across K-12 schools, higher education institutions and, ed-tech organisations.
