COLLEGE TIPS FOR SUCCESS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
1.BUILD STRONG TIME-MANAGEMENT SKILLS When it comes to college time is everything. For a successful and stress-free college experience knowing how to manage time is crucial. Truth is you don't have time even when you think you have. Thinking of that is the trap, you have time but you aren't going to use it because you will procrastinate until the last minute. Put this new concept in your mind, I DON'T HAVE TIME. Ok, now that you put it we can start: use this time wisely, start to study/prepare/collect study material early. The earlier the better. I usually start collecting material and writing down all the past exams' questions. Starting this way I allow myself to know how much I have to study and which topics. When this is done, start by writing down how many days are left until the exam and take off seven days before the big day. These days you have to revise the whole exam program. You should already know everything, these days are just for revising. Alright, use the other days left to study and memorize. And this is how you will manage your time perfectly.

Lies My Teacher Told Me
Every good story begins “Once upon a time…” This is the greatest story ever told. This is the story of us – of humanity. There will be no discussion of creation or evolution. That is a different discussion for a different day. This is one of the lies my teacher told me.

Community College
I am ending my last semester in community college right now and I am happy to move on, but it is bitter sweet. After two and a half years of constant support from the student services and my employers on campus, I am going to miss my first college. I was accepted into the four-year college I have been wanting to attend since highschool. My aunt went there, my boss went there, and my friends attend there currently. It feels like my life is really beginning. Now, do not get me wrong. I am not your typical college student. I am 20 and still can not drive and I work a maximum of five hours a week because of our current pandemic.

5 Reasons to Take up Teaching as A Profession
“To teach is to touch a life forever.” I still remember my teacher from 5th grade. She used to handle science for us. All the students used to eagerly wait for her classes because she taught from her heart. Of course, we didn’t know this back then because we were just kids. She made science fun. She would always have either a plant, flower, or some sort of models with her and she enacted things. It did not feel like we were forced to learn. Learning was more like a result of the stories that she told us and the activities that she made us do. I am thorough with the “states of matter” lesson because of the way it was taught. I am sure you would also have a teacher that touched you and went beyond textbooks to teach you.

How 3D Printing is Making a Difference in Learning and Teaching
3d printing in education is budding engagement When students can visualize and sense things, they can master concepts faster. Earlier and even today, we are referring to creative charts for references, but this technology goes beyond. With a 3d model, accurate graphic design, and real-to-life representation, it is easier to deliver knowledge.

Why Does Your Educational Institute Need Bulk SMS Service?
Gone are the days when communication was handled through rare means like phone calls and emails. The educational sector suffered the most due to poor communication systems. They only had the option of calling the parents or students when they had something important to share on an urgent basis. On top of that, calling hundreds of students was nothing less than a mission.

Art Education in the virtual world
This is a thought based essay from a pondered moment about how to teach art students virtually. Often as a teacher, I reflect back on how I was taught in the classroom and the ways I was allowed to experiment and create new ideas. I find now that looking at the way students are taught today in the light of new restrictions with education many are struggling within their classes. This truly presents a problem for both parents, administrators, and teachers to make sure students are allowed to grow and develop as learners. One mixed concept that I have hybridized between 2 styles seems to be able to work, e.g. the concept of Scaffolding Assignments and the concept of TAB. Scaffolding assignments is something that many educators utilize within the face to face environment, but surprisingly after many hours writing lesson plans I found that scaffolding assignments online expands the students learning beyond what we are able to be giving them via zoom sessions. By allowing them to understand small chunks of information over a period of time they can grow and grasp larger assignments in turn. For instance I recently taught my students the power that black and white photography has in storytelling and capturing events. To help them first understand Value, I had them go online and pick out a black and white image online. They needed then to analyze and pick out certain black, whites, and greys and translate that into 5 different rectangles of similar color. I believe this allowed or taught students to look at the world around them in a new light. This thusly was reinstated in their next project in which students were required to go capture a black and white image and write a story about it. This scaffolding activity did more for students I found than what would need to occur over zooms sessions. This I think relates to being able to allow students to learn as independent learners. TAB is another concept that can be utilized in light of trying to educate our students in art. Teaching Artistic Behavior is a concept that deals with giving choice to students ,but at the same time fostering the kind of thinking that requires students to think like artists, and not only learn the artistic techniques. These truly help students grow as learners, but allows them to draw new conclusions about the art they are making. This has also allowed us as teachers to see how students grow and learn within the virtual art classroom. Overall, as art educators we have many tools at our disposal, but really learning how to use them is the key to teaching and letting students grow. Students need to grow at their own pace during this day and age, and more specifically thinking about how students learn is a key concept that all educators have on hand will hopefully allow education to remain as impactful for them as it was for us.
