I suppose the simpler the instrument the kid can access, the easier it is to learn to play it. To this end, percussion instruments are the easiest to play. This brings me to drums, marachas and the like. From here, they can graduate to more complex instruments after learning how to synchronise...

You can also divide the map into sectors. Then connect the city locations in the map with a line. Using the abbreviations, you can form an acronym or a word formed from the initials of the locations on the string. Each sector should have its acronym. This will make memorization easy.

The subject of history is becoming bigger and bigger each passing day since history is being made every day. Even facts concerning the earliest history are evolving due to the discovery of fossils from prehistory. This makes me wonder about its trajectory in future. Will it become too unwieldly...

There is a catalogue of novels which I can recall having pored through and they captured my attention. These are one by Robinson Crusoe and another one by James Hadley Chase. I have had the best experience with African novels like Son of a Woman, My Life In Crime and the River Between by the...

Its not hard, you just need to use technology. There are websites which address mathematical problems and different approaches to tackle them. An example is Mathway.com which gives faster results. I believe there are myriads of other free sites where one can submit a question and they deliver...

Speaking with native speakers is the recommended method, well said save for the small matter of accent and intonation. I would recommend that the preliminary stages of language learning should be academic in order to get a grasp of the vocabularies and sentence structure. From here, one can now...

I have now embraced the notion that memory improvement can be done in a simple and cost free way through mental exercises. Its funny how the brain follows the theory of Larmack of use and disuse. The more you struggle to accommodate more information in your brain, the more it expands to...

The human being is a triune being consisting of the body, spirit and soul. The body is the least in the hierarchy of this tripartite being despite the fact that its the one we are most accustomed to and dedicate the best part of our efforts. The soul belongs to the spirit and one continues to...

The place to begin with for good photos is the settings of your device. Some have low quality images as the default setting. Also adjust for the lighting and make sure you take the shots when there is plenty of light and at vantage angles. Take several shots of images and select the best. Its...

The bitter fact remains and I fear I have to state it here in this forum that one can be anything in this world but at death, one is ushered into eternity either in heaven or in hell. Alot of mouths will gape at this but I was one of their kind but later underwent a complete paradigm shift after...

We mostly use British English which was the colonial master in my country. The funny thing is that the distinction between British and American English is rarely taught in school, its only mentioned in passing. However, American English is good to master especially those who aspire to be online...

I don't come from this part of the world but the gist of the argument applies. Rhythms especially those with catchy tones and moods etch powerfully into the subconscious of the learners and recollection is easier. The gap existing in the teaching profession has mostly to do with the fact that...

Students should not be exposed to calculators during their formative stages of learning which should be the same case with computers. It follows that if this is assiduously observed, they will no doubt develop the neural pathways associated with cognitive thinking, but it will also instill a...

This is no doubt one of the silver linings of Facebook other than monetization and marketing where most individuals are won't to take advantage of with the rest preferring to socialize and keep tabs to belong. I haven't experimented with the same but I suppose you should submit it to a business...

They should take place after every 3 lessons as is practical depending on the timetable of different classes. One in midmorning and another one in the afternoon is enough to keep the batteries charged. Of course this also depends on the weather. More PE classes should be held during hot weather...

In most educational setups, teachers tuck themselves in a corner in the staffroom with a pile of compositions which they hurriedly mark without involving the learner. When marking composition, its important to ensure that the pupil or student is present so as to account for their discourse. The...

Its quite a good idea to see a movie in addition to reading books. In my country, there is a system whereby students read literature books and them they view movies based on the characters depicted. This enables the learners to develop a graphic memory of these set books. This method records a...

This approach is quite effective. I actually taught myself computer operations through a journey of discovery. When I came across a bottleneck, I simply called the cyber attendant to come to my assistance. Whatever I learnt deeply imprinted itself in my mind. Students taught using this approach...

Recent research suggests that learners who have mastered their mother tongue gain proficiency in the English language faster and more easily. This has to do with the fact that the various parts of speech like verbs, adjectives and prepositions can be cross married between the two languages in a...

One of the most neglected issues is the different personalities of learners. Some are visual learners while others are better theoretically speaking. Most potentialities are consigned to the dustbin due to the archaic approach of teachers who grade students according to preconceived motions that...
