Welcome to the forum. I have seen one of your articles on how students should be assisted to develop their critical thinking faculties using the Daily Science journal and is quite informative. Which subjects do you teach? I have dabbled in teaching in the past and was kind of a Jack of all...

Acting in general imbues self confidence to learners. This method of teaching is used where students need to harness their creative faculties like debating clubs, singing and acting in general. One method related to this is hot seating. It involves nominating a student to infront of class. He...

Definitely, I have to rely on technology every single moment because I basically work as an online freelancer. I have to access updated versions of software and hardware in order to be effective. The other side hustle that I engage in is gardening and I basically don't use any form of technology...

I have a slightly alternative view. An educator could be handling a small group of learners. The content to be taught or the general learning instructions could be embedded in the body of the emails including attachments. If the educator is handling a larger group of learners, he or she can...

I am just wondering the painting medium you have used. I am also intrigued by the sort of paint or substance you used to create those drawings. They look like abstract art which is also my forte. The problem with this form of art is that one is likely to be misunderstood and thought of as weird...

I loved Chemistry classes in high school. The teacher was friendly and non intrusive while being a strong motivator. I liked the way Group 1 elements reacted with water. Organic Chemistry and its complex nature really captured my imagination. I wondered how a simple material like soap could have...

I would love to learn French. It is fascinating judging by the way some words are pronounced. You find some syllables being completely silent and some other normal looking words but with completely different pronounciations. French is also considered a posh language.

People claim to have various strategies to improve their memories. Some have a scientific basis while others are just hype and overrated. Omega-3 fatty acids for example, are withou doubt potent in memory improvement especially in kids whose brains are developing. In my area, people subscribe to...

Quite a potent observation. Most institutions teach geography as pertains to their nation and continent and largely ignore the geography of other regions. There are students who cannot name a capital city outside their continent. The best way is to pin the world map on class walls. Students...

When I was a student, I observed that the student body had faultlines on the basis of peer groups in which students coalesced on the basis of shared interests. For example, bookworms tended to aggregate with similar types. So was the case with drug abusers and the list goes on. A teacher should...

As a matter of fact, I don't see a better method of teaching history than using videos. They expose students to the person and persona of the historical figures in the videos in three dimensions. This is a good memory aid and stimulates an interest to delve more into the subject. It reinforces...

Using crossword puzzles is an effective method of teaching English. It improves the learners' vocabulary and cognitive abilities. Imagine the teacher spending a whole week on parts of speech and clauses but no practical. Some students switch off and assume that language is boring and even...

I was a Bachelor of Science student and 2000 was my final year of study. The digital revolution was still in the primordial stages. We were not required to take computer courses yet. I completed an entire course in biostatistics which requires computation manually. This improved our work ethic...
