Dus ka Dum
Because we grow a little, everyday
![Page 2: Dus ka Dum](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013108/5569406dd8b42a2c788b4a6c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Why GGIS started with it
• As teachers we ended up discussing only about our classes
• Professional Development days were few and again aimed at getting better at classroom
• But our teachers had to grow as individuals to be better teachers
• We had to be better at dinner conversations
• And so we started with Dus ka Dum

What is Dus ka Dum (DkD)
• It is 10 minutes of our time everyday that we spend on learning something new or just exploring a different avenue
• Yup! Just that. 10 minutes of newness
• A few things we have tried….

Origami: Making windmills
![Page 5: Dus ka Dum](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013108/5569406dd8b42a2c788b4a6c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• This was our first DkD. • We had no idea why we were all
getting together• But the time limit of 10 minutes put
us to a frantic learning pace• More than the windmill, we learnt
how to read origami instructions• And surprisingly, the so called art
and craft teachers took much longer than others!

Playing football

• It was the football world cup time• And we ladies didn’t know a word
about it!• But after those 10 minutes we could
go home and brag to our hubbies about a few world cup facts

Learning to code
![Page 10: Dus ka Dum](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013108/5569406dd8b42a2c788b4a6c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Coding! Oh not happening. It is for the geeks
• But we tried it and it was nothing but just thinking.
• We loved it and 10 minutes were a tad too less
• Eeeehawwww was the sound that reverberated all through the room everytime we crossed a level

And many more things we tried…
• Heard Parvati Baol’s music• Understood what Kickstarter is• Found out that people are making a
3D make-up printers!• Shared jokes and riddles• Spoke of one conflict we face in our
life

But …only one person?
• So far it was mostly Minal heading DkD
• But there is only a little one person can do
• So we started involving others to share their skills
• And so we had…..

• Roopali Ma’am is a jack of many trades.
• And her past experience of working as a make-up artist is something we wanted to benefit from
• She gladly shared some easy-peasy techniques of hair-dos that don’t require a lot to do

Learning Spanish from YelizaOla!
![Page 16: Dus ka Dum](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022013108/5569406dd8b42a2c788b4a6c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Yeliza is a Colombian who is trying hard to learn Hindi
• And when she volunteered to share some of her Spanish lessons, we went eeehawwwww
• What fun we had speaking in a new language….. Silly but highly exciting

The road ahead...• We know not!• But we have taken a road less traveled
and how proud we are• It may last a month or a term or
forever, it does not matter• We shared our learning. We enjoyed
what did

One key lesson learnt
• Nothing, just nothing beats the high adrenaline we get out of learning a new thing.
