LB#13:Teaching with Visual Symbols
The different kinds of visual symbols can be used in different purposes to demonstrate or to organize your discussion through symbols. Obviously, graphs are easier to understand than word discussion. Your discussion should possess concrete visual aids using the symbols.
The perfect cartoon needs no caption. The less the artist depends on words, the more effective the symbolism. The symbolism conveys the message. You can also use this as a springboard for a lesson or a concluding activity.

LB # 11: Field Trips
A field trip or excursion is a journey by a group of people to a place away from their normal environment.
The purpose of the trip is usually observation for education, non-experimental research or to provide students with experiences outside their everyday activities, such as going camping with teachers and their classmates. The aim of this research is to observe the subject in its natural state and possibly collect samples. In western culture people first come across this method during school years when classes are taken on school trips to visit a geological or geographical feature of the landscape, for example. Much of the early research into the natural sciences was of this form. Charles Darwin is an important example of someone who has contributed to science through the use of field trips.[citation needed]
To mitigate these risks and expenses, most school systems now have formalized field trip procedures that considers the entire trip from estimation, approval and scheduling through planning the actual trip and post-trip activities.

DIVSHARE....
There are many file sharing websites available on the internet, however we all know that how difficult it is, to find out a service which offers a decent plan or package. To name a few services, we’ve got Rapidshare & Megaupload (major ones). However, the problem is that these services have put various restriction on the free users and most of the times, their ad placement is quite forced and that’s why as a user, you can get frustrated. The biggest problem with these file sharing services is that they allow you to upload files but for a limited period i.e. if the file is not accessed or downloaded for long time, then they are removed from their servers.
However, now we’ve got DivShare with us and this file hosting service is improving day by day. The good thing about this service is that it has got such wonderful offers that you’ll easily fall in love with this service. Let’s look at various aspects of DivShare and why it is better than others.

LB# 9: Teaching with Dramatized Experience
As what i have understand about this teaching with dramatized experience,"Although the technique is relatively simple and one that most teachers and trainers can use without much prior experience, the difference between the best and worst run role-plays can be considerable. At best the exercise will be seen as relevant, essential part of learning; it will be an enjoyable and exiting experience and the students will be left with a greater understanding of their subject and a clear idea of how to develop it further. At worst the students will be board, embarrassed and even angry. They may have achieved very little and even acquired erroneous learning; they may be left with a feeling of inadequacy and not knowing what it was about."
