Creating a lesson plan is tedious work, often I use materials from other books and encyclopedias (wiki) for information. Lately, I came across sites that offers free downloadable and printable worksheets. One of them is this site, https://www.teacher.org/lesson-plans/, which has templates from...

I think Facebook if used correctly can benefit teachers and student alike. I've only used Facebook Messenger for announcements in class, that's the only thing that me and my fellow teachers have used it for. We don't usually use Facebook for anything else as there's too much distraction on the...

Using online platforms to teach graphic design to students is convenient, but let's also remember that this is an online site and there's no guarantee that works will be saved. I've been using canva for a year now and yes it's amazing for a free site but I've had this site suddenly wipe out all...

With the current crisis our world is facing, our schools have resorted to online classes. I've seen posts of kids teaching others how to skip these online classes and they're getting creative about it everyday. Do you think online classes are working or are we just wasting our time and effort?

With a friends group the outcome can already be predicted. In my opinion it would be best to let the children be in an assigned group, it would teach them to work together with others who are not on the same wave length as they are. It would be an introduction to a work setting where not...

I believe that teachers are human and are permitted to make mistakes even with their teaching, but one needs to humble themselves enough to admit to that mistake. Important as it is for a teacher to know everything about what they're teaching, but it is also important to remember that people do...

Working students are admirable in many ways. It takes a lot of maturity to handle both work and study, add family and social life to that list as well. It is not easy to be one, they need not only understanding but a lot of support as well as they are already going through a lot at their age. It...

The most exciting part of my educational life is High School. It was the time I wasn't too stressed out with studying and had time for extra curricular activities so I tried them all. I was also a varsity player for Volleyball, I was a feature writer for the school paper, I was part of the...

I personally do not have any favorites among my students but some students do need more time and effort to teach and that is mistaken for favoritism. This is very hard to avoid as misconceptions and misunderstanding can stir things, it is important to let the kids in your class know that you...

They are hard to find and quite rare but yes they do exist. It's hard to keep the closeness of friends since people change eventually in time. Anyone would be lucky to have someone close to them even as years pass and they both change.

Even without late night TV shows students will sleep late because of their phones, they have YouTube and other sites to watch from. They have friends that they chat with and they play games. It's hard for a teacher to tell their students to sleep early because that is a parent's responsibility...

I have to disagree at one point, social media interaction is still real interaction it just so happens that the person you're talking to isn't physically with you but that doesn't make it any less real. There are some people who communicate better through writing rather than through speech. And...

I do agree with your post. Environment also would mean physical properties. It's better to keep the classroom well lighted and well ventilated. A lot of sample notes should also be posted on the walls. As for the Mental and Emotional factors, it's bet for the teacher to convince her students...

Yes it's possible. There's a number of ways that we can minimize the use of plastics. And I also believe that if we want to change how the world uses plastic we must implement the practice to our daily life. That's how we can influence other people around us.

Holidays are essential, as they say, "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." School holidays not only benefit students but will give the teachers ample time to recharge and breathe.

Poverty is a factor but isn't an excuse. There are quality public schools. And even now the government and the public schools itself are doing their best to improve the school system for those who can't afford private education. I also think that it would depend on the individual themselves. You...

If it's a school policy then there's nothing to do about it. Although, the schools I know do permit entry to students even with incomplete uniform. They will get marked down for their class as this is part of the school policy. I think, personally, it's a parent's responsibility to make sure...

I do believe sex education is effective but it would depend on the approach. If you've read about how Denmark handles sex education compared to other countries, their approach is on point. You can read more from this article http://cphnews.mediajungle.dk/archives/5087

Bullying is still prevalent, and the sad fact? It doesn't only happen in schools. It happens everywhere even on the internet. Parents having an open communication with their child/ren is a good way to know if there's a bullying issue with the kids. Being in tuned with the child is a good way to...

I do agree with one post about not meddling with a student's affairs BUT there are school rules and regulations regarding tattoos. It just depends on which school. I'm sure before enrolling, the school discusses these rules and regulations to parents and to children. If it's all written in the...
