Teachers Day 2016 Google Doodle


Today, 5 Sep 2016 is not only Ganesh Chaturthi, but also the Teacher’s Day in India.  India is the 2nd country in the world to officially dedicate a Teacher’s Day since 1962, on 5 September of every year, in honour of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, the 2nd President of India (05 Sep 1888 – 13 May 1967).

Teacher’s Day is celebrated on various days in the countries of the world – in honour of their own eminent educator or commemorating an education milestone.  To add to the confusion, the UN has declared 05 October as World Teacher’s Day since 1994,

Whatever the day, Google has an animated pencil Doodle for the Teacher’s Day, in 2016.  This is the same animated Doodle we saw for the National Teacher’s Day in the US. 

Today, Google’s doodle comprises of a bespectacled teacher pencil reading out from a book, while five student pencils follow suit — walking, skipping and jumping. The last tyke pencil is also inverted, with its writing tip down, while all others have it for their head.

Doodle artist Nate Swinehart had made the animated work to honour teachers “who’ve dedicated their lives to moulding a thoughtful, compassionate generation of citizens. And to making sure everyone does their homework”.

Yikes, he wants us to do “homework” – the dreaded word on a extended weekend.  Isn’t it a practice, Teacher’s Day or not to wake up in the morning of school day, and cry about the incomplete homework?

Here is the animated Google Doodle for Teacher’s Day – as a GIF.
