Lazarus


It is a dark and gloomy Tuesday. It's almost as if the heaven is about to break and rain down upon us.  Fortunately,  not a single droplet came. The atmosphere was tense as we anticipate whats coming.

8am, a familiar face comes waltzing in the class, mam olivar. Quite a fierce woman, one of which i'd consider as an "elite" of bsad. We all remembered how much she gave us a hard time in our freshman year. She's well refined on her teaching methods, and i certainly learned a lot in her care.

First day became nerve-wracking, knowing that we will be studying under her again. But this time,  its different,  she seemed a bit joyful and more approachable than the last time, considering our times with her last year didn't end as well as we hoped. She chatted with us, not as students but a fellow teacher, in that way she hopes to connect better with us. It felt satisfying to be considered as a teacher for the first time, two more years in here and its real.

Since i was in high school, i always looked up to teachers. most students may hate some of them,  but deep inside,  i know they have the same admiration towards them. I always wonder..

How do they do it?
How are they able to teach us anything at all?
How do lesson plans work?

Mam olivar said that in this subject , we will learn essential teaching methods that work accordingly on a diverse group such as an entire class. In here we will learn and experience what it truly means to be a teacher.

It is certainly interesting to learn how to answer questions which you do not know. I myself got to ask questions to my teachers but i never seem to catch them empty handed even though i dont get a direct answer, its an interesting skill to learn. I also had the realization that being a teacher is no joke, it's either you'll make or destroy your student's future and one must be prepared to sacrifice a lot for this profession. This gave a deeper appreciation of what mam olivar,  and every teacher has been doing to educate us all.

The Fire that Ignited the World

Another week,  another Tuesday,  another meeting with Mrs. Olivar, and another blog that has to be submitted. Frankly, I'm getting used to this routine, and this feels like something i will miss when it's all over.. There was a tale in Greek mythology, a titan named Prometheus had a reputation of being a clever trickster. He famously stole fire and brought it down to humanity, along with the gift of metalwork. This act enabled mankind to progress significantly as a civilization. Today, we talked about the new information Communication Technologies that we will have to deal with in our future classes,  we talked about regulations of the usage of ICT, howw we could enforce policies that are fair and just inside the classroom. Teenagers today are so drawn into technology that they dont even know what to do without it. The dependence in technology is quite alarming these days, to the point that we had to reform security and privacy policies because the internet provided m...

The Wizard's Apprentice

A wizard is a knowledgable being,  capable of bending,  twising,  and manifesting elements right before our eyes, as we gaze in awe. A teacher is much like a wizard, but even better, their most powerful weapon are words, because even without all that magical spectacle, they do leave a mark that resonate for a lifetime. But could an apprentice have the same effect as much as it's master? I didn't have a good start for the day, I'm not sure if its because i slept for only 3 hours, or is it because of that bitter coffee i had to endure this morning.. Prior to this day, i already started skimming through the entire CMO no.79 s. 2017 which i accidentally printed,  but now I'm glad i did, i was half ready. Mam olivar came in, it seems like her voice didnt sound well, so she introduced us to a new face. Mr. Rainer is a practice teacher probably under mam olivar's wing. Instead of mam olivar, he's the one who had to discuss about the CMO n. 79 s. 2017 which is a...

The Calm Before the Storm

Today,  there weren't really any significant activities, it was a calm day and everyone are doing their own business. Then it hit us, sir rainier administered us a surprise quiz. This quiz caught everyone off guard, i was in the middle of testing out every tools and software that i will use to edit my video when this happened. Thankfully, it is a multiple choice quiz, but to be honest, that fact didnt help much since the quiz is quite difficult. Also, for some reason, some of us weren't able to make it in class, so no grade for them. I scored more than the passing grade, and its all that matters to me, it makes me wonder how i fared on mam olivar's exam. After the test,  sir rainier gave us time to do something about our video. I continued the progress of my script that i have been doing since yesterday. But now i was able to create a flowchart of the subtopics that i will be tackling in the video. Hopefully my output will actually let the viewers learn about spacial di...
