The ‘ Class -Title hunt ’@ Edupunk Casual English

The ‘ Class -Title hunt ’ 

       I had been in search of a name that would be consistent with the class description .What I wanted was to avoid the misconceptions and avoidance behaviour that may arise in the passive learner by seeing the name of the class .If the ‘title’ was simple ,it would ensure the attendance of both the active and passive learner. It is sure that, passive learners would flee away from the classes having technical jargons and complex words. 

            I never wanted people to feel uneasy and tensed after attending my class. The sole purpose behind these classes were to give a relaxing atmosphere that support the learner. And at the end of the day (class) the learner MUST feel that he or she has acquired some knowledge or information and that too without strain. This is the main motto of today’s educational reforms as such! We all know what and how much the concerned authorities (especially those in the field of curriculum constructions) do work for this.

                At least some of you might get distracted by the term ‘Edupunk’ but the core idea of the channel was to create a midway between education and edutainment .I’m sure that a small percentage of our readers may (at some point of time) have got confused by reading the articles on fun and games ,that there is no demarcation between Edupunk and Edumacation !!!! If it is so, then it is absolutely incorrect. We do aim at professional standards with propos ethics in the channel. 

                  Nevertheless, ‘Fun’ is the basic ingredient in all our classes.‘Fun’ doesn’t mean absence of ‘Professionalism’ or ‘Academic nature’ .By ‘Fun’ we dream about a class design that will trigger maximum learning through ‘fun-filled’ games that has the capacity catch the attention of the adult learner(as for man) but we do forget all age groups. So I will be able to bring interest in the learner to learn. At it is said that ‘interest’ is the mother of ‘attention’, once we are able to catch the attention of the learner, the next thing is to maintain it and to ensure that ‘learning’ takes place with much ease.

              Back again, to the ‘class – title hunt’. So these were the reasons which made me go in search of another title for the classes. Finally I felt like adding a casual touch to my class. So went forth to add title .This I believe will not chase away the weakest and least interested learner. I hope there is much in the ‘titles’ that can create a first impression about the class even before getting to know about the class details .

          In fact, most of the online learners never like to be in a place where there is strict academic discipline and highly complex learning content. We never wish to get out of our comfort zones wherever it be online or offline. So it’s highly necessary to take this into mind before creating a class design.
