Malcolm, spent his time copying every single word in the dictionary and learning each and every word until he was able to pick up a book and actually understand what he was reading. He spent the rest of his time in prison, and even most of his time when he got out of prison, reading books. As Malcolm said, “Reading had forever changed the course of my life.” With reading, the world around you opens. You can learn so many new things by a book and it can change your life. With Malcolm, he couldn…

The role of ICT in education is to empower the technology into present educational activities to keep pace with the changing scenario of education in the world and to make our teaching and learning process more effective and interesting. ICT brings active learning, collaborative and creative aspect to the educational system. Education can be broadly divided in two categories - Formal and Non-formal. Formal education relates to the education given to the students in schools…

good way to understand the importance of assessment is to think about learning outcomes. If students automatically learned what they were taught, we would never need to assess; we could instead just keep records of what we had taught. But every teacher knows, many students do not learn what they are taught. Willoughby (2010) argued that “No two students enter a classroom with identical abilities, experiences, and needs. Learning style, language proficiency, background knowledge, readiness to…

a tablet, these students possess unprecedented levels of skill with information technology; they think about and use technology very differently from earlier student cohorts. (Kvavik, 2015). Yet despite this fact, technology is not utilized as a learning tool in the classroom. Compared to students’ use of technology outside school, in-school technology usage is much less intensive and extensive (Lim, Zhao, Tondeur, Chai & Tsai, 2013, p. 59). Teachers are held responsible for using more…

ETL program will provide me with the opportunities to learn the tools to help develop challenging and engaging curriculum using the digital landscape. Additionally, GWU ETL use of applied research will provide me the opportunity to have a hands on learning building these tools. I am eager to learn from Dr. Natalie B. Milman about her work on digital portfolios. As a home educator one of the frustrating challenges we face, is finding an accurate way to capture a student’s unique and varied…

significance of learning and having an openness to change, there are five main roles the teacher has in facilitating effective learning: 1) To set a positive environment for learning, 2) to clarifying the purpose of the learning, 3) to organize and make available learning resources, 4) to balance intellectual and emotional components of learning, and 5) to share outlooks and feelings with the learners without an overbearing attitude (Lisko & O'Dell, 2010). Principles of experiential learning…

who is taking the training, what the motivation may be, and the methods by which the trainings should be delivered. Understanding the learning and transfer of training theories will help make the training process more effective for all. There are many reasons why staff takes training. Some trainings in the workplace are mandatory while others are required to gain new skills, master skills, or simply, for one’s own professional development. Trainings that are…

New Era, New Education In the excerpt “Project Classroom Makeover,” Cathy Davidson, a distinguished member of Duke University’s faculty, strongly advocates for the disposal of the “one-size-fits-all” education standards, despite her standing at an Ivy League school. Through Davidson’s more personalized approach, there could be a rise in greater individual success as traditional and out-of-date techniques of teaching are replaced by more interactive and modern ways. However, a complete…

of everyday life. Literacy and numeracy are essential skills for all children to develop. Every child has different learning ability and therefore it will be a good idea to determine each child’s maths literacy level for them to succeed. The two theories of learning discussed are Behaviorism and Constructivism. According to the theory constructivism is best suited to the learning and teaching of maths over behaviorism. The best way to teach children about mathematical concept is through…

such a big deal when sitting in those undergrad classes, yet as my education continues and being a classroom teacher, theoretical perspectives are the backbone of teaching and learning. Being a science teacher brings another element, which is the adoption and integration of STEM disciplines to create a new level of learning experiences. In order to analyze a variety of theoretical perspectives, I will use the physics topic of kinematics because it includes all the disciplines of STEM. Kinematics…
