Hi Everyone, It's Ravina here. I am teaching a wonderful class of Year 4,5 & 6 students at Ruapotaka School in Glenn Innes. I really enjoy teaching and teaching is very rewarding. I believe that all children are unique and have something special that they can bring to the classroom. I will assist my students to express themselves and accept themselves for who they are, as well embrace the differences of others.
I have two teenage children of my own. My first child is a 18 year old boy, attends Auckland University and studying Bachelor of Engineering. My second child is a 15 year old girl in Year 11 and attends Pakuranga College.
I completed my studies at The University of Auckland. I gained a Degree in Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Education (Honours), Masters of Education (First Class Honours) and I started studying PhD in education.
I studied PhD in education but did not complete it due to some family circumstances. At some stage I will go back and complete my PhD in Education.
I also completed a Teacher refresher Programme at The University of Auckland. Due to Covid-19 I am not sure if I will be allowed to go and complete my PhD that I left or I will have to re-do a whole new degree.
Things I really enjoy are walking, cooking, singing, dancing, reading and talking to people.
With the outbreak of Coronavirus being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation, people worldwide are facing a major challenge. Coronavirus has significantly affected all of our lives, but it is also challenging our ability to adapt and be resilient. COVID-19 is reviving the need to explore online teaching and learning opportunities.
Online education
The education sector is responding to quarantine with a sudden shift to online learning. Nonetheless, online teaching requires careful thinking about how learners and teachers are equipped for the shift and serious consideration about whether the teaching style is still effective when taken from the classroom and transposed to technological devices. Moreover, inequalities are exacerbated when it comes to access to technology and to digital devices. Many learners suffer a form of digital inequality whereby they lack the connections and devices to learn remotely. In fact, this outbreak widens the gap between those able to access digital learning opportunities and those who are shut out. Access is not equal, and we see inequality growing. And yet, even though the immediate focus is now on technology
and tools, the most compelling quality is still human compassion. As you already know,
no technology will be able to replace a teacher's expertise, enthusiasm and
human approach to education!
