Imaginative bridges



I am very new to blogging and I am trying to play a little bit with words and photographs.This is one of the photographs I pasted on the facebok profile for the assignment of Module 1. I have not taught before and so don't know much about teaching but I will try to compare some of the aspects of this photo with Education. When I look at the Image, I like it because of certain qualities. The Subject(building) is at the center of the image, clear, uncluttered,on your face. The building in itself is beautifully designed and thus looks beautiful. The Beauty is further accentuated by the framing. The Light on the Building highlights the main portions of the Building. There is a special green light chosen to Highlight the Dome. The Figure and the foreground is seperated distinctly. The Reflection on water adds to the Beauty.

Similarly If I were to teach a lesson, I would want the subject to be very clearly presented(uncluttered and on your face). Like the building,the lesson in itself should be designed beautifully so that the essence of it could be realised. Again we need to frame it properly within one or more contexts to enhance its effectiveness. Again ,not all students are equal, so we need to highlight the main points ,something similar to the lighting. We should also choose other modes to reflect the lesson better, may be a video or photo assignment or a game would be able to provide the same role as the water does in the picture.
