Anosognosia
#If the student is aware of his or her memory problems, he/she does not have Alzheimer's.#
1. I forget the names of families ...
2. I do not remember where I put some things ...
It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that they lack memory.
"The information is always in the brain, it is the "processor" that is
lacking. "
This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.
Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease.
The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a person,
- going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
- a waste of time searching where we left our glasses or keys ...
After 60 years most people have such a difficulty, which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years ..
Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statement:
"Those who are conscious of being forgetful have no serious problem of memory.
"Those who suffer from a memory illness or Alzheimer's, are not aware of what is happening."
Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights:
"The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to suffer from memory sickness."

Innovations and Creativity in teaching
Quite recently, I was browsing through Facebook when, I came across a video, which completely took me aback.
I saw a teacher in Bihar using a very innovative method to teach the multiplication of 9, to her students.
The method she had adopted was one, which I personally had never came across and hence, it helped me understand that how innovation and creativity can be brought to a regular classroom
I am hereby attaching the link of the video, so that the treat to my eyes does not remain confined only to me. :)
https://youtu.be/BXN0QMunEg4
After, watching the video I understood how acronyms or videos can be used in an innovative manner to make the class interesting
Now, extracting from my personal experience, when I was teaching conjunctions to one of my students in home tuition, he would always get confused between conjunctions, prepositions and punctuations probably because the terms used to seem confusing to him.
So, I made sure to show him a fevicol ad ( https://youtu.be/B-g-RncOEHo)
and ask him questions like, "What does a fevicol do?."
This not only helped him to establish a link between a read concept and an ad but also made the process of learning very enjoyable.
Hence, this was just one example of how innovation worked in my favour but after going through innumerous articles, I have read and understood so many tricks and methods, which I would like to save for our next discussion in the class
