1.) Copy and paste the matrix of “Viral Icons” below courtesy of Ilker Yoldas from The Thinking Blog. (to support Ilker’s quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a student budget, please consider subscribing to the Full RSS Feed and enjoy interesting posts in the meantime. “Knowledge grows when shared!”).

2.) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16×16 pixels) to ImageShack, a similar free image hosting server or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one.

3.) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the “Viral Icons” in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog’s URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective.

Here is an example:

4.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their “Viral Icons”, practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon’s code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your “Viral Icons” below.

5.) Invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Last Friday was the first day of the Student-Teaching Seminar. It is going to run until the semester ends, which is around October of this year. This goes hand-in-hand with the student-teaching activities for the same five months.

I felt nervous. It hasn’t even started and I was already feeling so nervous. At certain pints, I was even feeling tear-eyed as I sat there at the auditorium, listening to the speakers talk about what it’s like to be a teacher, a student-teacher, a supervising teacher, and so on.

They mentioned stuff like being committed, being devoted and so on, and I felt guilty because I was in this half-heartedly. They say stuff like, “I’m sure you’re all excited” and in my head I’m screaming, “HELL NO! No way! I’m nowhere near excited!.”

But what else can I do (other than the loser’s way) other than wing my way and make the best of it?

This is it. My final stage. I have to get through this. This is a now-or-never, do-or-die thing. If I mess this up, it’s over for me. I’m done for.

I’ll just copy from my journal since we are required to write one.

I guess I’ll start off this regular journal by introducing myself and the activity.

I am a Bachelor of Secondary Education student majoring in English and minoring in Filipino at the University of the Philippines, Diliman. I am now in my final semester before I graduate, and I need to participate in the Student-Teaching program, or to undergo some kind of internship, for my final requirement. For this, I have delegated myself to do my internship at the laboratory school of my university, the UP Integrated School or UPIS.

I am required to hold at least 10 teaching hours and 10 non-teaching hours a week. Teaching means to be in the classroom and doing actual teaching, and non-teaching means to be in my post to do things like checking papers and holding consultations. I am also required to submit a journal of the day’s events, my feelings, and other observations and

Day 1

My first day as a student-teacher wasn’t that eventful, but I wouldn’t call it eventless. I just sat around, got myself broke, met with my Supervising Teacher (ST), and observed one of her classes. However, I felt good. While walking along the corridors, before I even got to observe any class, a couple of students greeted me and called me “Ma’am.” I couldn’t help but smile and greet them back.

When I first met my ST around noon, I finally felt the excitement about being a student-teacher (st). To be honest, I wasn’t excited at all before that. I was scared and nervous. I felt like I might not be able to do it right. After the conversation with her, I think I can.

Some observations:

• The seats are arranged in a U–perhaps the teacher should stay in the front center so all the students could see her clearly. My ST just stayed in the corner by her desk most of the time that day.
• I don’t know what I should be seeing on the walls, except that the works of the students are on them. Speaking of which, the class, 9-Gol, groupnames were LAN, ChewBox, Freshmakers, Shearjotimla, and Gingy. I forgot their seating arrangements. I must take note of that next time. I think I’ll remember when I see them again.
• The teacher starts class by writing the day’s “To Do” list on the board before greeting them.
• For recitation, the teacher doesn’t waste time and urges the students to talk. She tried making all their voices heard at least once.
• The teacher asked questions they didn’t expect. she let them know that all the things they do must have a purpose and not just because they wanted or liked to. — Living a purposeful life.
• A student mentioned an expression and she wrote it on the board, but she didn’t really expound on it. I don’t think the students really understood what it meant. Maybe she should have explained a little.
• Her tone of voice was pretty much the same all through out. I think. Or I was just unable to distinguish the tone…
• She called 9-Gold 9-Calcium. I shouldn’t make that mistake. They might kill me.
