its a big learning curve jumping into macro ,hopefully it will fall into place with a bit of reading anyways heres another from today
Itās amazing how we can grow into our jobs much the same way we grow throughout our lives. Sometimes, either one is not easy. As time clicks forward, I find both to get easier.
Take my job, for example. When I first started delivering furniture a bit over six years ago, I had no idea what I was getting into. My previous truck driving job was tough, mostly because I was new, but it was mostly dock-to-dock, with most (but not all) offering big chunks of real estate to maneuver in. In my present-day rig, things can get hairy, and really crazy, on any given day.
We have a stop on Farmington Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut that serves as a fair reminder to me of what it means to grow. There is a narrow driveway, with a brick building on one side, and a metal fence on the other. Both are enemies of a safety bonus if you should hit one with a tractor-trailer while backing up into a spot where you shouldnāt be. Still, it must be done because everyone who has anything to do with your paycheck needs you to be. Iāve been to this place ten times by my best estimates.
The first time I showed up there, I wanted to cry. āYou want the trailer where? Why? How?ā I was terrified. In the end, I managed to block four lanes of traffic with honking horns and put my box-of-furniture where it needed to be. I sweated profusely.
The second time I visited I thought, āI can do this. I did it once before, and I know itās a possible proposition.ā It was scary but I knew it could be done, and so it was. It didnāt take as long, and didnāt contain as much sweat.
On my third visit, I showed up, swung across the road with four ways a blazing, and parked the darn thing without thinking twice. A polite grandmother beeped her horn and gave me the thumbs up. There was no sweat involved.
This week, on my tenth time around the block, I rolled my eyes and thought, āPiece of cake.ā Then finally, something different happened. As I was backing up, I became captivated by the duplex across the street. After that, I grew an instant attachment to the black metal fence I didnāt want to hit, and the way it meshed with the house across the street. I wondered, out loud, just how many times that building had watched me do this maneuver. Most of all, I wanted to record that moment of time. What else is new?
All this happened while I was safely out of the road. I wanted to be a good employee, so I unloaded twenty-five pieces of furniture before I made my next move. When it was time to go, I inched my combination forward and set the brakes. I opened my door, leaned out against the fence, and took this picture. I left quickly, wondering if it was any good.
A day later, I got to check out my work. I donāt believe it is the best thing I have ever shot. I do enjoy the angle I shot it from. It adds in air of interestingness to the scene.
I like to look at everything I captured in the frame. With old houses, I always like to look closely at the windows, in the off chance that I caught a ghost looking back at me. I did not see any, but I did see that there was a heart in the middle window on the left. (You may have to press āLā on your keyboard to see it clearly.)
Why would it be there, and what does it mean? Maybe the house loves seeing me visit, or likes how I can put a truck into a spot without destroying anything it has to look at all day and night. Iāve even considered that itās a direct reflection of the love I have for the universe. It treats me well most of the time, how could I not adore it?
A big part of growth is learning. One of the things Iām most proud of learning, is how to look at things differently. My Nikon has helped me to do that. (Learning how to back a truck into close corners without incident has come in handy too.) Seeing things from new angles applies to other aspects outside of photography; Iāve learned a lot about people too. They have told me personal stories through pleasant conversations, and they have taught me things about the city or town I happen to be standing in at the moment. Itās also helped me to think about things from a fresh perspective. That in turn keeps me happy because I like to think. Who knew that learning could be so much fun? It was not enjoyable during my school days. Someone should have told me I was going there to grow, instead of calling it learning. It might have also helped if someone tucked a camera into my backpack.

Well, she knows how to control a thousand pound horse, but just now (7 years old) getting around to the bike. She taught herself. Damn!
that's our son Yagiz playing it safe for the moment in the middle. The boy falling next to him was a joy to watch, I don't think he spent more than a few seconds upright the whole time and laughing the whole time. much better on black
Our Active Learning Classroom (ALC) is designed to support interactive and technology enhanced learning. It serves as an incubation space where faculty can implement and assess new teaching and learning ideas.
The classroom is capable of numerous configurations; with computer stations at each table and multiple wall-mounted screens. The purpose of the ALC is to offer active, engaged teaching and learning experiences in a collaborative environment.

The second public school of Partskhanakanevi, Georgia
Akaki Fertsuliani, a 19-year-old teacher at Partskhanakanevi public school in the village of Fartskhanakanevi in the Tskaltubo municipality, is one of those rare people who understands the technological pulse of the modern world and realises the need to adapt to new realities in the wake of progress.
Akaki was in the 12th grade and had already created several games, when Ilia State University, together with partner organisations, within the framework of the EU "Education for Employment" (Skills4Jobs) program, started the project, "Network of Youth Technology Clubs ". The project invited schools from eight regions in Georgia to provide students with knowledge in coding or technical entrepreneurship. As part of the project, the second public school of Partskhanakanevi decided to teach students Python.
Akaki has become a trainer at the technology club, as well as a programmer, a technology guide and a confident assistant.

More drop-in sessions and office hours
Detailed and concise asynchronous material shared on time
More live sessions since students get to interact more with lecturers and clarify doubts. Proper balance of live and pre-recorded lectures
Use of pend and paper for calculations when teaching
Having breakout rooms for labs with each GTA assigned for a particular group of students but also the unit head must have a separate room to take questions GTAs are unable to answer
Short pop-quizzes during live sessions which are not graded to refresh the minds of students
