Myself, along with other faculty of E&R were exposed to seminar presentations by few experienced infoscions anchored by Satheesha. The seminars were on topics 'Software Development- A practictioner's Perspective', 'Experience Sharing- Grass Root Reality and Expectations from SEs', 'Latest Trends in J2EE' and 'Being a Global Educator'.
I had quite a few take aways from the seminar on 'Being a Global Educator' where the speaker explained the 'Learning - Teaching' Model with quadrants of Let Me, Help Me, Tell Me and Show Me, which is now expanded to Challenge Me, Connect Me, Prepare Me and Check Me.
The presentation also had few minute video of Zakir Hussain performing on Tabla, which the speaker said was a role model for all of us because of the basic principles of 'njaana','upaasana' and 'anushthaana'. Njaana was the process of gaining knowledge which the performer might have done for several years, Upasana the practice, which too essential to be in right tune and finally Anushthaana, which is the actual performance.
I was quite impressed realising that Zakir's Hussain's Anushthaana of his magical fingers on Tabla for a few minutes was the result of years of gaining Njaana and Upaasana.
