habits. I set a 32 day commitment that I would set a time to study every class for 1 hour no television, phone calls. I would study and make sure I did all my homework before it was due no matter what. They also talk about using flash cards I made up flashcards for my class and everywhere I went I took them with me And I know they help me a lot I was able to remember more by writing out question…

Don't study the day of the exam. It's too late to cram new info on test day, put the textbooks down. Set concrete tasks for yourself. Set a plan for yourself ahead of time devoted to studying. Read a chapter or two a day, turn to your notes, make flashcards or study guides. Grab a timer, time it for 20 to 30 minutes and complete a task during this time. Here's the catch – shut off the electronics. Study time means no…

On February 6, Lydia Gagnon shared her experience with a disabled student. It surprised me to hear that the disability was blindness. The ministry of Education favors the integration of special needs students. However, I never thought it meant blind children. It made me realize that I could encounter a similar situation too. Similarly to Lydia, I use a lot of visuals. I appreciated that she shared her ideas of using real objects to facilitate the child’s learning. She said that she asked the…

and continued his education. Some may claim that DeShawn didn’t have a choice to better his life because other students from other school have the proper tutoring to be able to get into better schools. Although this may be true, DeShawn was given flashcards by his teacher, and he didn’t even look at them. On page 89 DeShawn said, “I shook my head.…

I was raised in an Afghan household where the language everyone spoke around me was Farsi. Going to school was one of the hardest things for me. My parents didn't get far in school which resulted in them not knowing english. I couldn’t talk, speak, or write in English, yet I was forced into going to this world where it sounded like everyone was talking gibberish. Feeling scared and confused as to why my teachers and peers don’t respond when I tell them I have to go to the bathroom. All I ever…

Until this class I never really identified what literacy was. I have always known about reading and writing, but never once did I look at it as knowledge that would bring me success. I now see that it is much broader than just simply writing and reading, but being able to interpret and communicate through it. My literacy has been important to me from day one and is a type of knowledge that can progress for a lifetime and be a tool to enable my success. From as young as I can remember my mom…

As with most things in life, tests are easier when someone first takes the necessary steps to prepare for them. A crucial component to preparing for a test is by incorporating successful strategies in order to study the test material. My study habits have been continuously refined throughout my tenure as both a high school student and then as a college student. For example, in high school, I used to just repeatedly read the study guide or notes until I felt that I was adequately prepared to take…

prepared and I did not know where to start. I had my outline on my computer, flash cards and my speech well memorized. I didn’t know what to look at when I started my speech to make myself feel secure. When I started my speech, I first looked at my flashcards and started to read and then I looked at my outline. I began to fumble between both sets of notes. Then I realized, I was all over the place and could not figure out where I was on either outline…

In middle school I would log into my AOL instant messenger account and send phrases to SmarterChild, an artificial intelligence driven chatterbot, to translate into Spanish. I recall gleefully feeling like I had discovered a big secret, a way to use recreational instant messaging as a means to learn. Now, as technology becomes a more integral part of day-to-day life, the distinctions between what is purely fun and what is educational are becoming less clear. My own work in various educational…
