About the Webinar I attended

Encouraging physical activity in preschoolers is the webinar that i had attended on Tuesday, February 27, 2018 which was developed by Doctor Sanders. The purpose of the webinar was to guide children to the process of the motor development skills.
 The locomotor skill is a branch in the motor skills which is when the body travels through space from one location to another. Adults restrict children play, ban games of tag, no running and teachers are trying to protect students, which is ridiculous in his point of view. 
Learning to travel are basic steps that children should be taught to do and improve it. Traveling skills have social and cognitive effects and kids that do not acquire the traveling skills will have problems in their life. Also, moving from crawling to walking has an influence on the language development. 
So, how do we help students to develop traveling or locomotor skills in the classroom?? The answer is that to teach these skills we have to provide cues to children, which are words that help students to do the skills better. 
For example, walking includes swings arms, heads up to see their around and balance stops will increase the process of walking. In addition to the cues students and kids in general must have the knowledge component of the skills, when and where to move. As the space awareness which will help students to see their space and its safety, and the effort awareness as the speed, directions and others. Since we practice these skills everyday, we need to set boundaries as the space that you can use your motor skills.
Traveling a locomotor  skill development help children to understand the cues of the skills and the concepts to do these skills better, which will have them to the rest of their lives. In addition to that, it is our responsibility to watch our own movements and go away from hitting anyone.

attending educational media and technology courses

It is my pleasure to attend such course in the spring semester. This course is full of beneficial information that make us more accessible to computer applications and programs. It makes our work more easier as teachers. From the beginning of the semester the classes are going fluently and everything seems to be fine. I am waiting for having more ideas about using computers to facilitate our job.

Students teams acheivement model (STAD)

 One of cooperative learning methods is Student Teams-Achievement Division (STAD).  In STAD: students learn to be formed into groups of four or five members of different skills and  genders. The teacher gives a lesson. Students work in each group to ensure that all group members have mastered the lessons given. students carry out tests on the materials provided and work on their own. The objectives behind practicing STAD in classes are to:  Practice cooperative learning skills. Develop sense of responsibility between classmates. Ensure the automaticity of the materials. Promote sense of belonging and involvement. The method which STAD is applied: Phase 1: Instruction.  Introduces and develop the content. Phase 2: Transition to Teams. Teacher explains how teams will function. Phase 3: Team study. Teacher monitors groups and supports group’s efforts. Phase 4: Assessment. Individual students ...

What is physics??

What is physics? The dictionary definition of physics is "the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them", but that really means is that physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing and experimenting. physicists ask really big questions like: how did the universe begin? how will the universe change in the future? how does the sun keep on shining?  what are the basic building blocks of matter? If you thi nk these questions are fascinating, then you'll like physics!  Physics is the knowledge of nature, which is the natural science that studies matter and its motion and behavior through space and time and that studies the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves!
