The pandemic has hit the nation hard! While the number of Coronavirus cases is are increasing with every passing day, staying positive during this hard time is extremely necessary. This unexpected and unfortunate situation is not only a challenge for all of us but an opportunity to witness a positive change in yourself.
Here are a few tips that will help you to stay positive and keep going during this quarantine –
Socializing It is an important aspect to look into. Socializing is a key to keep yourself healthy and energetic. Though physical distance has increased, there is an abundance of virtual meeting scopes. Pick up a phone and call your best friend or your relative, or a friend with whom you haven’t talked to for a long time. Share your experience, listen to theirs. Communication is an important thing as it will help you to stay connected with your loved ones despite the distance and you won’t feel lonely. Sometimes they even might give you advice to better self-care. The more you interact, the more your heart will be happy and energetic.
Stay healthy. Stay strong. And don’t forget to stay in touch!
Nurture Hobbies/Interests It will be not only boring but unstimulating if you just stay at home and do nothing. Get rid of the monotonous routine of waking up, scrolling news feed, eating and going to bed again. This unhealthy cycle will make you lazy and make your mind depressed. So, instead of spending your time on social media take this time to learn new things, discover your hearts deepest desires and nurture your hobbies and interests. You might find your interest in learning new languages or cooking new dishes or even playing instruments, keep your mood boosted and involve yourself in creative activities. You can also create your own timetable to stay involved in something or the other.
Life will seem more meaningful if you do what you love!
Mental And Physical Health It is told by experts that good physical health keeps good mental health and vice versa. So staying in quarantine doesn’t mean you can’t keep your physical health on point. Walk around your neighbourhood, have some fresh air in your garden or balcony, do indoor workout and take care of your physical health. If you are staying alone then virtual exercise with your friends or family once a week is not a bad idea. While these will keep your physical health well, practice meditation and yoga, which are beneficial for mental health. If you are feeling lonely then don’t shy away from sharing your thoughts with your parents or friends. Many dilemmas and problems are solved by talking it out.
It is time to stay positive and stay healthy!
Amidst this pandemic and quarantine, don’t forget to study, because knowledge is power. Attend the online classes, learn the lessons properly and don’t forget to review all of it before going back to the school.
We hope this will be over soon and we will return back to our normal lives. Till then, let’s stay positive and keep beating the odds.

Regular research and development are leading to technological innovations that are positively impacting every sphere of life. The education sector is nothing less.
Teachers face a constant struggle to enhance their teaching Methodologies to keep their students more engaged and impart a better education as per the school’s pedagogy. And a simple solution to it is the usage of technology in education.
“Technology will not replace great teachers but, technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational.” – George Couros, Division Principal of Innovative Teaching and Learning.
Here are the few benefits of technology-infused teaching –
Improved Student Engagement Technology supports an interactive and collaborative environment. It encourages students to understand lessons better in a more engaging way. With the use of digital content or projectors or videos or other technologies, the teacher creates a better demonstration for the stimulation of young minds. Thus, along with the subject, the students learn technical skills too. While the technology re-shapes and enhances traditional teaching methodologies, it is a proven fact that students experience better learning.
Heightened Access To Resources One of the most vital advantages of technology is that lessons are available always. If it is a digital file or a suggested E Book, the student can always easily access the information and stay updated. Hence, the child will have access to better study material and one that is authentic too. In addition, students get to learn the attributes of researching correct information. Moreover, students’ source what they wish to with minimal wastage of time.
No restricted Learning- No Geographical Boundaries or Limitations With the usage of technology in learning, students can learn from anywhere at any time. Earlier, teachers stayed connected with the students beyond classrooms through projects and homework, but with technology and innovation, the student can learn on their own pace from any distance at any time. Teachers can provide customised guidance and lessons to individual students to help students lagging perform better.
Promotes Technical Skills Learning coding, robotics and other technical skills from an early age maximises the scope of the students in this competitive world. Nowadays, technical skills are significantly important to stay in sync with the fast-changing society. With the technology enabled teaching, a student gets to have hands on experience even before joining the professional world. This empowers the students and helps them to understand concepts vividly.
Technology involved teaching is not limited to teachers as parents can also use technology at home and provide further insights to students and help them study better.
At CGR, we encourage technology involved teaching as the implementation of technology in education has helped us enhance the traditional techniques of teaching. We constantly revise our curriculum to include innovative technology-induced teaching methods to benefit our students. So, choose us to give wings to your child’s dreams.
