Social media means ways of sharing information, opinions, images, videos using the Internet. Today Social Media is also being used for educational purposes. The way social media is changing education has affected how students express themselves, behave and interact with each other. Social media has been influencing our lives for quite some time now and the trend of using it, is increasing by the day. Today, teachers use YouTube to show students different kinds of videos related to their subjects and hence their productivity has gone miles ahead.

Now, students don’t need to carry heavy books, they can browse and get more information anytime from Wikipedia. It serves as a dictionary not only for students but also for teachers. The use of social media in education helps students, teachers and parents for getting valuable information while connecting with learning groups and other educational systems. Read more

Hand Hygiene during COVID-19
“You can’t necessarily control what you touch. You can’t control who else touched it. But you can look after your own hands.”
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness, meaning it is mostly spread through virus-laden droplets from coughs and sneezes. If you don’t catch your coughs and sneezes in a tissue and safely dispose it off the virus can end up on surfaces. If someone else touches that contaminated surface, the virus can transfer onto their hand. If you have the virus on your hands, you can infect yourself by touching your eyes, mouth or nose. Hence, “Hand Hygiene” remains the No. 1 tip for preventing the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Read more

Sky – out of my reach

Lessons learnt yet syllabus incomplete

Nativity of Blesses Virgin Mary
Every woman at a certain stage in her life longs for the experience that comes along with that of being a mother. Being a mother brings enough joy in itself. It is difficult to put into words how wonderful and special it is to be with a child and have him or her with you. A painful process but a jovial atmosphere, the cry of the child but faces filled with smiles, and at last,` I am a mother,’ a feeling that never dies. The miracle of giving birth after the nine months is full of mixed emotions to the mother – father and to the whole family. Same miracle of birth was experienced by the beloved parents of our Blessed Virgin Mary at her birth. The birth of Blessed Virgin Mary plays a crucial role in the history of salvation. Read more

If it is their nature, it is spirit that is what they are with their whole beings. The angels are servants and messengers of God.

They have forever contemplated the face of God and are ready to rush to His command as attentive listeners and executors of His word. Read more
