Baars explained how the visual objects were consciously constructed into a jigsaw puzzle with “momentary snapshots” or maps of the visual input. The string of maps then travel down the conscious stream and come together to form an integrated visual experience (Logothetis,…

How could Dogme and Emergent Language theories influence classroom practice? Dogme and Emergent Language theories both challenge the traditional teaching methods. A Dogme theory approaches teaching from a ‘materials light’ perspective, with very little to none of the classroom activities coming from a textbook or syllabus (Boyadzhieva, 2014, p. 783).

conduct small group teaching. The jigsaw method intrigues me the most as it can be combine together with other teaching strategies such as debates and presentations. This method focuses on allowing students to teach one another on their area of “expertise” and also provide an opportunity for fellow “experts” from the expert group to learn from one another. This enables students to take charge of their own…

Tis the season to once again to give praises to the kings of cold, the sultans of slash, the queens of screams, the icons who make Halloween what it is and what it always should be. from a evil possessed doll to a super strong momma's boy with a machete, the horror icons of the 70's to the 90's and early 2000's have made a deep bloody impact on the horror world to this day, if you were to ask your parents what scared them the most when they were your age they would most likely say Freddy Kruger…

Another week has gone by. Today is Saturday and got home from a lovely trip. On my way home I went to the art museum where my beautiful daughter`s art was hung for all to see. Of a girl sitting on a wooden rocker, in front of a big widow, while reading a book. A strange old man wanted to soak in the whole picture because he was so close that no one else could the painting. I asked him nicely to please move so that everyone could see but the man was crying. I stopped myself. I know I know…

Urban school districts have been making the switch to school uniforms at an ever increasing rate. Meanwhile, suburban school districts have been slower to make the move to uniforms, often citing that the benefits achieved from uniforms are restricted to high poverty urban areas.
