Say goodbye to that dusty chalkboard. Today’s students are comfortable with digital technology and adapting quickly to it in the classroom. In a recent study on tools that are changing the classrooms, Interactive White Boards ranked as one of the most useful tools to enhance learning. One teacher writes, ‘One year after having my interactive white board, I can definitely notice an increase in attention and participation levels for my high school students. The interactive whiteboards helps focus their attention on me and my lessons and helps keep them focused.”

So what is an interactive whiteboard? An interactive whiteboard is basically an interactive display that you connect to a computer. Boards generally use internal or external projectors to display the Continue Reading

Ask most college students if they have experienced hypnosis, and they’ll tell you about a hypnosis show they saw in high school or college. It was funny, and intriguing, but they haven’t thought about it since.

Yet hypnosis can give students far more than entertainment. Some know this personally. They’re just not saying much about it.

In fact, you may be surprised to learn that among top students who want to get the most from their studies, many have recognized hypnosis as one of the most effective secondary study aids available.

When you get to college, you will find out within days if not hours of your arrival that if you wanted to, you could spend every minute of your time socializing, whether it takes the form of hanging out in the common room with your friends, checking out the parties on Fraternity and Sorority Row, or checking out your new city. People who take the path of all social life no academics have a much better time than those who take the all academic no social life path — until they start getting (usually very bad) grades. Fortunately for you, there are many more moderate paths you can forge between these two extremes. A balancing act between your social life and your academic one takes some effort and commitment, but it’s worth figuring out how to do it. With a little planning, you Continue Reading

A recent study reported in England’s, The Lancet, of 11,875 pregnant women studied, the children of those who consumed more fish (More than 12 ounces a week- the equivalent of 2 or 3 fish meals), had higher levels of cognitive ability, pro-social behavior, better motor and verbal skills. Children of mothers who ate less than 12 ounces had a higher risk of low verbal skills and poor social development. While we debate on the safety of fish in coastal waters, and the restrictions suggested by the US Government that pregnant women should restrict their intake, too many studies show the benefits to developing fetuses and children for us not to look closely. It is time to turn to alternatives.
