    English with an accent

    Spanish has different accents just as English does, the Spanish that is spoken in Spain is different to the one we speak in Venezuela, it really sounds diferently and also the slang is different too.

    Recommendations for beginning photographer?

    All I can recommend you is to watch tutorials of how to take good photos and video tapes, you definitely have to make your way through the basic stuff so you'll see what it is all about, once you dominate the basics you can move to the next level and start doing greater things, of course. It's...

    How do I help my kid with math if I don't understand it?

    If you cannot help him then you just cannot. All I'd recommend you to do is to hire a private tutor in order to teach the kid everything he may need to learn because you'd only be making it more difficult for the kid to learn if you don't really understand what you're trying to 'learn'. Good luck.

    British and American Spelling

    That's because the difference mostly spins around the accent and nothing else, not too many people pay that much attention to words spelling andthat sort of thing.

    What does phonics consist of?

    Well, I am probably not the right person to explain this to you, but I will try to be as clear as possible so you can understand. The word "Phonics" basically stands for a commonly used technique to teach kids how to read just by associating the letters to their sounds or phonetics, it really...

    All Ages Using Google Map To Teach Geography

    Well, I personally think it could be a great idea considering teachers would use google maps from a smart TV or a device with a big screen in order to let the kids see whatever the teacher is trying to explain, I really doubt it is going to be an easy process to do it with smart phones, I barely...

    What do you think about allowing students watch movies instead of reading books?

    I really consider it would be a great idea because kids could somehow get motivated to do their homework and work harder if they really want to watch the movie, the teachers could actually set up a kind of movie schedule in order to establish the movie dates, it definitely could not be every...

    English with an accent

    You're absolutely right, you really got my point there, it's good to remember that the same thing happens with the Spanish language, there are more than 10 countries that use the Spanish language to communicate with each other, but every single country has a different dialect as well as a...

    All Ages Allowing Students to explore the tech themselves?

    I consider it as a good idea to let kids use technology by themselves because they somehow can get used to what they're mostly going to work with in the future, it is also a great initiative because they can explore the technology by themselves, therefore, their analyzing capability will be...

    Skittles to teach numbers and colors!

    Well, you were such a lucky kid, it is a shame my mom never taught me anything that way, I do not really know why; I think it was because she thought I was not going to focus on the colors and my entire attention was going to be located on the cookies, but whatever, I really loved my childhood...

    English with an accent

    Well, you definitely have a point there, but I personally think that the English language sounds like it sounds because it is English and it naturally comes from England, so it makes sense. It is important to keep in mind there are many accents but it does not really mean there's a right one...

    Skittles to teach numbers and colors!

    Well, it would be really interactive and also it's going to motivate the kids to successfully count the candies to finally eat them, it's really a good strategy to encourage kids on learning how to count and the basic mathematical operations, that is definitely going to help them in the future...

    All Ages The 4 New Elements in the Periodic Table

    This is some interesting information, my chemistry professor was talking about them some months ago during our first classes, she did not really know which ones those were, but now I can finally see which ones those really were, thank you for sharing this information, I would not have known it...

    Ages 7-9 | KS2.i Which witch? Spelling the right word

    It looks like a nice and interactive activity for kids, I will try to use it for my upcoming classes, it definitely is a good idea to give the kids some words to choose and realize which the correct one is, thank you for sharing it, it is going to be really useful for many of us.

    Actual or Online Books?

    I generally read actual books since it's better for me because I do not really have a tablet or any kind of device I could use to read and not damage my eyes at all, however, I do not really consider my PC as a good reading device since the brightness may basically damage my eyes and that's not...

    English with an accent

    I definitely disagree with your opinion, most people that say they know more than two languages only know how to order and that kind of basic stuff, I personally would not like to learn a foreign language just for that kind of situations, I like doing things well and learning things to the...

    Has anyone enjoyed reading classic literature?

    I do not really consider myself the kind of person who likes and enjoys reading classic stuff that much, I am basically not the guy you will call if you want to read something like that, most of the information I know have been gotten from other sources, such as gaming, another kind of reading...

    British and American Spelling

    I do not really see any inconvenient with kids spelling both ways, it's always good to know how to do things different ways, however, teachers should try to let them know and realize which way is British and which way is American so they can actually consider the differences and decide which one...
