As a parent of two amazing academically and socially smart children, parents ask me all the time, “How do you do it” “What do you do to make your children so smart?" . I know this is out of a desire to gain knowledge but sometimes, parents even go as far as openly comparing their children with mine. And yes, their children are listening.  That does 2 things : It shatters your child’s self esteem and  It makes them resent children who portray what you bash them for not having.  I am here to tell you that every single child is smart. Yes, I imagine some people turning their faces and saying… "You can say that because your children get 90's their whole life” but that really is not the case and it is certainly not the reason. The question is not How smart your child is , but How is your child smart? As an educator people take their children to Natken Educational Services to assess why their child is not doing well in school. Yes, we have creative ways to help and we always do...

Educational Technology according to Robinson and Molenda is "the practice of facilitating learning and improving performance by creating, using and managing ...technological resources."   The Ministry of Education, Schools and even individual teachers view technology as an important tool or resource in enhancing the teaching and learning process. So then, why is the classroom so boring? Well. Preparing a lesson takes time and lots of thought. The truth is, not all teachers are prepared to use that much time or that much thought. As a result, the lessons are repeated year after year and the teachers themselves become bored of the topic. Secondly, Teachers sometimes don't know how to use the technology and are hesitant to experiment in the classroom. They are aware that today's students are technologi...

Everyone thinks. It is in our nature to do so. We may think at a very basic level, but the point is...we all think.  What then is critical thinking? I remember a student saying it is "emergency thinking". She explained herself by saying that when someone is in a "critical condition" it is an emergency, therefore it is emergency thinking. The truth is, she was practicing critical thinking when she gave that answer but she was not correct. Critical thinking refers to "self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair minded way." Sounds like a mouth full so lets break it down. - Self-guided thinking means an unbiased chain of thought - Self- disciplined thinking refers to a uniformed or step by step though process where no box is left unchecked. This brings about reasoning at the highest level where all options are evaluated and all information is questioned. As parents, we can be a part of t...
