“Teaching online but still nice”: Teachers eagerly compete, students eagerly vote and the results are unexpected!

With the aim of shaping image and style standards; spreading positive energy to all staff and lecturers when participating in professional activities at the school; building the image of Dai Nam University as professional, dynamic, and adaptable in all circumstances; aiming to celebrate the 14th anniversary of the school's founding (November 14, 2007 - November 14, 2021) and celebrate the 39th anniversary of Vietnamese Teachers' Day November 20, 2021, Dai Nam University organizes an online photo contest "Teaching online but still nice" for staff and lecturers with a total prize of up to 40 million VND.

After a short time of launching, the contest received the response of many staff and lecturers in the whole school. In particular, there were departments with the number of staff and lecturers submitting entries up to 367% (including guest lecturers).

After the voting period, the Jury found the best entries to award collective and individual prizes at the 14th Anniversary of the school's founding and to celebrate Vietnamese Teachers' Day November 20 on the morning of November 19, 2021.

Speaking at the end of the contest, Ms. Cao Thi Hoa - Vice Principal of Dai Nam University shared: "No matter what the circumstances or environment, we need to pay attention to our own clothing. Because sometimes the image unintentionally reduces the solemnity and dignity of each person, especially in the pedagogical environment. Any pedagogical environment needs to build the most complete image of the teacher in the eyes of the students. The clothes do not need to be too elaborate or expensive, but clearly a suitable, neat, and serious outfit will not only make the students feel respected but also make the teacher confident when appearing in front of the students..."

Ms. Cao Thi Hoa - Vice Principal of the school summarized and awarded the prize for the contest "Teaching online but still nice".

She also emphasized that in the current context of online teaching and learning, teachers' personal environment has a great influence on students. " The contest "Teach online but still nice" is partly to encourage teachers to participate in entertainment and partly to remind teachers to pay more attention to their appearance and personal space while teaching students... in line with the policy of building culture, dress, and demeanor of lecturers when participating in teaching students online launched by the School..."

The contest “Teach online but still nice” not only attracted a large number of staff and lecturers to participate but also invested a lot in the images and content of the messages in each contest entry. For example, the message in the contest entry of Ms. Hoang Thi Minh Hien – Lecturer of the Faculty of Pharmacy: “

"Before CAM, hair, clothes, makeup,

The image of teachers is always intact

After school, students rest, normal life

Simple meals waiting for husband and children"

In particular, there are many older teachers who still participate enthusiastically and win prizes.
