    The Career Counselling session was a very interactive and resourceful session. The 21st century is an age dominated by technology and digital tools. I came to know about different online tools that can be used in the classroom to make learning a joyful one. I also came to know about certain aspects of vlogging. Overall, it was a wonderful session and resource persons were very helpful. Certain activities were also conducted within the session. Such workshops will keep future teachers like me updated with the innovations and help us to use them accordingly in the classroom. After gaining certain insights out of such sessions, I have started using some online platforms to make my learning experience joyful and convenient. I would love to have more of such sessions.
