Hobby as Learning - Unlock your potential During the lockdown

Review of A Webinar


I attended a webinar on 'Hobby as Learning by Prof Rajesh Patil' organised by Shree Maa Gayatri English School, Akola .



The topic seems to be novel and interesting one. Rajesh Patil is a well known teacher for his novel hobbies and innovative techniques in uncovering the knowledge resources. After the formal introduction of the speaker, the webinar began. It was a great experience to  see the speaker displaying his skills through the charts. Collection of matchboxes, coins and feathers is his hobby. Collecting 15000 matchboxes is something beyond imagination. A simple question that arises what is there to learn from this. The speaker simply explained that learners inculcate the skill of minute observation. Pictures on the matchboxes tell the whole story. Pictures of flowers, fruits, deities, monuments, instruments, two wheelers, three wheelers, planes and trains are classified into different charts. The speaker displayed the prized possession of matches from different countries and even the earliest matchbox of India made of yellow phosphor . From this students can gather the knowledge about different shapes and colours. This develops the curiosity among the students. The speaker converted his hobby into his school project. He handed over the matchboxes, a cutter, glue, sketch pens, sheets. The students cut the pictures, classified them and prepared charts. It helped students learn a lot. 
In the webinar the speaker showed his collection of coins. He explained how teachers can make use of coins to teach in the classroom. Contents related with history and culture can be easily simplified with use of coins. He displayed coins of different countries and era. He has some special coins issued for special purpose .
