Story Telling – As a tool in teaching.

Challenge     Story telling is a tool I have been already using in my regular life. I have been teaching kids since I had passed out  from school and I had always loved teaching and trying out new ways in which I can help them understand the  concepts & studies easily. It’s obvious that every kid is not great with studies and good with grades but if they  get something which is interesting they would obviously like it.    Selection    I started teaching my kids in lecture the concepts connecting them to stories they would like and easily connect  to the books which would help them to memorize it and pass with good grades. But sometime there are  challenges which could be obviously overcome.     Application    Here’s how I have applied this for my teaching. I have a small story to share relating to this. I had met a boy in  the year 2012 when he was in High school in 12th Grade had his exams nearing in and he was not a student who  had great grades in academics, he was an average student but he had his interest in photography. He was  worried that he would not clear his exams which would rather lead him nowhere. So when he approached me I  told to study connecting the concepts to stories and would share my experiences with him to help him  understand the concept’s. Also I would often give him examples related to the Bollywood movies or incidents he  would like easily grasp them and Guess what he had cleared his exams easily.     Insight      My Students definitely like the way we study and they are happy about it. I think it’s not about learning the same  way as others but finding out new innovative ways for your own. And applying it for your own enhancements.

Approach

Yes, this course has definitely helped me improve my story telling and this is surely going to help me try out new  ways in which I could help my students gain more knowledge and take life & studies much easier.
