Leading up to this, I was also involved in the 2017 Innovation in Education Fairs (IEF) in Kathmandu and Pokhara. <a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2017\/11\/innovation-in-education-fair-pokhara-air-fire-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for a video of the workshop I conducted in the Pokhara edition of the fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Started on January 12, I have had two sessions of the workshop already, both of which I have enjoyed greatly! In this blog, I shall post links to the next series of blog posts containing details of the individual workshops and links to the resources I shared with the participants. In trying to decide how best to share some of the materials I used in the workshops with the participants, I realized blogging about them might be the best way to go about it. The reason being that others might find them useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I work on the individual blogs about the workshops and populate this post with links to them, here are some links that you might find useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/when-seeking-the-right-answer-is-wrong\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for a reproduction of the write-up published in the IEF brochure detailing some of the issues with Science teaching in Nepal and how it can be improved on greatly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/the-us-embassys-book-bus-science-teacher-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for details of the workshop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/intro-to-science-teacher-training-program-with-some-light-magic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for details of magic show I performed in front of prospective trainees introducing the training program on Dec. 1, at the Nepal Arts Council hall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are interested in other blog posts related to teacher training, blog posts about my work with other teachers, browse <a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/category\/teacher-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">teacher training category<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are links to individual blog posts about the different sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dorjegurung.com\/blog\/2018\/01\/everyday-science-all-about-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Everyday Science: All About Education<\/a>.
