Actions Speak Louder Than Word
Why an artfully delivered speech can be far more persuasive
than the written word
The written word and verbal communication each have their own
unique styles. Moreover, each has its own time and place. When
we write, we stay within strict guidelines of grammar and
syntax. A written correspondence often conveys a serious or
urgent message, or is reserved for special occasions such as
wedding invitations and thank-you notes. When we speak, we are
more informal and imprecise. Grammatical rules are not always
obeyed and tone, mood and urgency are relayed in the inflections
of our voice or in our body language.
Let's look at the following for an e (read full article) |

Ensuring Customer Delight: A quality approach to excellence in
management education.
The system of Higher Education in India is on the threshold of
change. During the last decade Higher Education experienced
immense student diversity not only in terms of profiles such as
increased age but also in terms of backgrounds with reference to
social and economic aspects. Management education being a part
of higher education is no exception.
The market for management education increased in terms of a
number of the growing private institutes which has started
offering postgraduate programmes of management education. This
is of course, a paradigm shift from the traditional University
system which (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Cambodian Song Is Contributing to Discrimination |
| |
|
It is exactly our desires to entertain and such the right is
stipulated in many internal and international legal instruments.
To me, entertainment is not just entertainment, but it does
enrich our lives, physically and psychologically. However,
converting into the world of materialism, I have noticed that
one evilly negative element which is indirectly and
subconsciously stipulated in such the daily entertainment and
this bad impact would spread into greater extend if appropriate
measure is not taken. Song, I would say, is the most brainwashed
kind of entertainment that we even need before our nightly
sleep. And just because it is absolutely ubiquitous, the
negative element contained in the (read full article) |

Using Children's Literature to Entertain and Educate Your Kids
What are Children's Books?
Not only are children's books a great way to keep kids occupied,
but they help them to learn as well. Good children's books are
proven to appeal to kids and keep them engaged and interested.
In general, children's books are books that were written
specifically for children. However, there are several books that
were originally written for adults and are today considered
children's books. Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn is one notable
example.
Educational Value of Children's Books
Children's books are fantastic educational tools for kids.

| Article Title :: Word Frequency Analyisis as a means to improve writing quality |
| |
|
In the old times of Windows 1.0 back in the 1980's there was a
tool called Word Frequency that came with the MS Word
distribution package. As someone who uses English as a second
language I used it heavily, because it helped me to improve my
vocabulary and to correct misspellings beyond the capacity of
the available spelling checkers.
That MS Word add-on created a list of all the words in a
document, ordered by frequency. It made it easy to detect
overuse and/or abuse of a certain word or expression. The little
used words were also of help, because sometimes I wrote Thomson
instead of Thompson, car instead of cart, or similar errors that
the spelling checker does not detect.

Copyright 2005 Adam Waxler
What is Bloom's taxonomy and how can a teacher apply Bloom's
taxonomy to classroom lesson plans?
Bloom's taxonomy was originally created Benjamin Bloom for
categorizing and classifying levels of intellectual learning
that commonly occur in the classroom setting. Bloom's taxonomy
contains three overlapping domains: the cognitive, psychomotor,
and affective. Within the cognitive domain Benjamin Bloom
identified six levels that have become commonly known as Blooms
Taxonomy. Â
The six levels of Bloom's taxonomy, from lowest to highest, are:
knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation. These different levels of Bloom's taxonomy have

Even before she was born, I imagined snuggling close with my
daughter, Katie, and reading to her. I just knew that she would
love books, and she would become an avid reader like her dear
ol' Mom. Her bookshelves were stocked with the best of the best
- from One Fish, Two Fish to The Chronicles of
Narnia and everything in between. But it was not to be.
Katie liked to snuggle, all right. Up to a point. But almost
from the moment of birth, my girl was filled with a restless
energy that made sitting still seem almost painful. She had to
be doing something. Even before she could talk, her eloquent
eyes learned to say "I'm bored!" She would tolerate the first
few pages of a story b (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Myths about Math - Clear thinking for Teachers |
| |
|
Remember struggling through math class? Remember learning
fractions? For most people it was not a happy experience. For
new teachers, facing a room of young faces, teaching math can be
intimidating. The first step is to set aside any emotional
reactions based on your experiences, and approach it fresh, with
an open mind.
Perhaps more than other subjects there are a huge number or
misconceptions about teaching math and hopefully this article
will dispel 'myths about math.' Lets look at a few:
1. Math ability is inherited. Perhaps this comes from our
"genius parents produce genius children" myth, which has
absolutely no basis. Confidence is very important for math just
like anything else. (read full article) |

| |
|
As we all know, attitude is key to most things that we do, and
teaching fractions is no exception. Before trying to teach
something, it is important to sort out your own experiences
first.
What do you think about math? When you were in school, do you
hate math? Find it boring and useless? Does math make sense to
you?
The answers to these questions may just be determining how
effective a teacher you are.
Good teachers and effective teachers love the subject they are
teaching, or at least aren't totally negative about it. If a
teacher feels negatively toward math, children will pick up on
subtle clues and they too will feel negatively towards math. Two
major factors in the student's ach (read full article) |

|
Teaching ESL to children is challenging but also very rewarding.
Before I walk into a class of 10-year olds, I take a deep
breath. Children have no attention span AT ALL, and so I tell
myself to slow right down before I start. Teaching children
requires patience and a sense of fun and playfulness. Even
though it seems obvious, a common mistake is to think that
children are simply 'short adults!' This is sure to get you off
on the wrong foot!
Here are some tips for teaching ESL to children:
1. Involve Children in an hands-on Activities. Children's minds
are incredibly open and they learn by absorbing ideas and
concepts directly. Children need to be actively involved. Get
students up and o (read full article) |
