I agree with briannagodess. I am the kind of person who wants no distractions of any kind whenever I work on something that requires me to think. When I was still a student, I would shut myself inside my room whenever I am reviewing for an exam because I want to concentrate. Whenever I hear any...

I think that teaching about arts and crafts is indeed a good subject to teach which helps students relax a bit from all the academic subjects they encounter everyday. I myself learned and enjoyed making crafts through our Home Economics classes when I was still in my elementary and high school...

I think it really depends on the individual characteristics of each student. Visual learners tend to understand and gain interest on a certain topic if they watch it first before reading it. They become curious and interested on what's originally written on the book after they see the story on...

Hello everyone! :) Paper folding which is most commonly known as origami, which has been originally done in Japan as part of their culture has now been embraced worldwide as a form or art involving any kind of paper folding. I remember being taught about the simple types of paper folding by my...

I think that this kind of usage is conducive for any age but it is best for the older students. I do think that though that as long as a young student already knows how to understand the usage of a map, then it is okay to introduce this concept to him/her. My 6-year-old who has just started...

Hello everyone! :) I find that teaching about geography in a way where a student has the ability to navigate and look onto places he/she is interested in is a good way of helping students learn in an interactive way. Technology now makes it easier to navigate through the world map up until the...

Students do have different strengths when it comes to learning. There are those who learn more through visual teaching while there are also those who learn even without visual aspects but rather through their imagination. I have observed that teaching using visual aids such as pictures and...

Those are just the cutest SirJoe! :) I could imagine how you enjoyed learning about different animals through this technique and enjoying your reward by eating them. We also buy a similar kind of biscuit snacks here called "Animal Bites". Here's the picture of the snack with different...

Thank you so much for sharing this Ferdinand. :) I think this kind of game is definitely helpful in helping students distinguish which is which when it comes to words that have the same sounds. This is most especially great for very young students who are having a hard time distingushing the...

This just shows the limitless ways of teaching our children in techniques that work specially for them. Although I have not done it with my little boy who's now in grade school, I think that this technique can indeed be very interactive and effective in gaining the attention of your children...

Alumno I'm happy to be able to share with you guys! :) I too got really excited even before the official names were released. It feels like witnessing a new birth take place in the world of chemistry. I'm really glad we get to belong in a generation where these 4 new elements have been added to...

I totally agree with you. I think the saying you mentioned is the one which has also been a staple saying here in my country when it comes to the importance of going back to one's roots. It is a saying which has been made famous by Dr. Jose Rizal, the National Hero of the Philippines. In our...

It's just so amazing right? I too couldn't help but be amazed at how the different branches of science keep on evolving as time goes by. I was actually waiting for the official release of the names of the 4 new elements when I first heard about them. :)

Speaking of Pokemon Go, I've been hearing it a lot from the people who play them too. They say that the game somehow helps them exercise while playing because they have to walk around just to find their Pokemon characters. I couldn't help but question the safety of this game though because there...

I would have to agree with what the others said that it really depends on the interest of the child. In my case though, the first instrument that my child has tried to play with was the xylophone. I think I introduced the instrument to him at around 2 years of age.
