My Daily Experiences and Pedagogy

Are you aware of the so-called visual talking or VT?

Visual Talking is making use of images or pictures to convey messages. Utilization of any photos which can relate to the words used is applicable. As long as the images used connects to each words then it’s fine. You’re now making your own VT message using your own pictures!

It’s termed as “visual talking” because conversations can happen visually.There’s no oral or uttering of words to converse. Looking alone the series of pictures can allow you to create a sentence or thought to express!While sending or making VT message can let the people understand what you’re trying to imply or what you think. There’s no conversation happens if there’s no responses, right? Visual talking is a form of conversation though it’s not done aurally. Exchanging of ideas and feelings is possible like normal chat with a friend!

VT is helpful to people who can’t speak. It’s also a way of letting young or beginners of reading to learn how to read. Pictures convey meaning. We, teachers in Elementary Education should employ illustrations when teaching. Learners in primary and elementary level can understand better with the help of visual aids. So, VT can help children to read. However, they should not be taught by pictures alone. Teacher should do the right thing to teach children how to read. The basics should be taught like learning the sounds of each letter, learning how to pronounce consonants blends etc.

I did try to make my own VT message and it’s cool! It’s fun also to converse using only images! Hmmmm I think it’s romantic to use this kind of messaging to your lover (^_^)

Dubbed as the “Iceman” former Universal Fighting Champion Chuck Liddel visited the Philippines to show his winning techniques! When he arrived in the country he went straight to SM Mall of Asia. Many Filipinos were waiting for his arrival. He was shocked because he never realized how the Filipino people show their support for him and to his chosen sport as well. An idea came up after his visit. Next year’s competition might be held in the country.

Learning mix martial arts is good. In fact, it’s a good step in making your body healthy. Learning some skills for self defense purposes is not bad. On the contrary, I’m not okay when the kids are watching it together with the adults. For older people yes it’s fine but not for youngsters. To us, it’s just a tv program aired weekly. Don’t you realize its effect to the minds of children?

My brother was a former fan of kickboxing, wrestling and the likes. But we restricted him from viewing those. We don’t want him to see such tv shows because the content of the program for violence is very strong! We don’t want him to be one of our neighbors in his age. Those kids are really following the actions that they see on tv! If you study human development, you’ll understand that children undergo imitative stage. Meaning they copy what they see, they follow what adults do, they do things which they  believe are right!

As we commonly see on out TV screens, Parental Guidance is really advised.

I made a writing for somebody about an American psychologist who studied about the moral development of humans. He is Lawrence Kohlberg, the author of the 3 levels of moral reasoning of people consisting of 6 stages to explain further what are the bases of people’s judgment in life. During my college days, I first encountered this kind of study. My college professor was able to explain to us the details about it. Since we belong in the field of Education, we have to study, absorb and understand it. The purpose of doing it is for us teachers to understand the people around us, our co-teachers, parents and most specially our learners. People differ. So is the individual development. Now, if we have this foundation we can understand our students, their personal concerns and judgments on things. Children spend more time at school than in their homes. We are always reminded that we strongly influence our students.

The three levels of Kohlberg’s moral reasoning are pre-conventional, conventional and post- conventional. These three are classified for us readers to understand better his study. His study has great contributions in the society as a whole. People may come up with an ethical decisions in life. and balance is observed. As result, people are able to understand each other and it develops a more friendly environment for all.

Try to put your feet into the shoes of others  and you’ll know what they feel.

Long time ago I have no idea what online casinos are. I usually hear it but I’m not really interested about it. I am aware that there are certain areas around this planet where this activity is rampant. Few months ago I had read an article about this stuff.

Sometimes we need to relax and enjoy the fruit of our hardwork. However, time and  money management should not be forgotten while having the fun.

I got an assignment to do in 5 days. However, I wasn’t able to work well with it. Yesterday I made an output in few hours only without hassles. In fact it was more difficult I guess than what I am doing right now. The reason is, it’s hard to work on things that have nothing to do with you. It’s like, it’s not easy to create something useful if you simply unaware of what you’re working on. It kills the time and gives me headache! I’m giving it up…I really can’t make it..I simply can’t. No matter how hard I try. If you love and enjoy your work then fatigue and stress are nothing to you. On the other hand, even if how simple a certain thing is, if you don’t like it then you’ll easily get tired.

The heart and love for labor is truly vital to sustain the task and come up with good and desirable results. In the past I hate teaching, but now? I learned to love it.
