From balancing your course load to forging relationships with classmates to extracurricular involvement, these are the tried and true methods to nail your career as a student.
The Post-Grad Reality
"I hope you are prepared to explain yourself." This is a phrase I have heard more than once from the individuals in academia who are more ready to abase than they are to praise or respect your decision.
Benefits of Effective Infusion of Instructional Technology
Effective infusion of technology benefits all students. Technology allows educators to meet the needs of all students no matter what the students' preferred learning modality. Visual, auditory, and second language learners can benefit from programs like EdPuzzle, YouTube, Discovery Education, Quizlet, GAFE, and Flocabulary that use videos to enhance the learning process. Tactile learners can use Google Draw to create pictorial demonstrations of proof of mastering content. ELL students benefit a great deal from any technology that immerses them in the new language they are trying to learn. The more ways they hear, see, and use new language the better chance they will have in learning to comprehend that language. Quizlet, Quizziz, Kahoot, and Socrative bring in the competitive component. Let's face it, we are all competitive in one way or another.
Randi MerrittPublished 6 years ago in EducationUse Your Time Wisely: Advice I Should Have Followed
Time is a very precious thing. It’s funny because it doesn’t actually exist, it’s something that humans concocted for measurement. Over generations it’s taken so much meaning to all of us. One of the biggest life lessons I’ve been told over and over and still never really followed deals with how I use my time. I’m sure everyone has been told that time is precious and we should be spending our time wisely. This is a valuable lesson that I think 95% of us will ignore despite knowing that it’s true. Why don’t we follow this advice and what does spending your time wisely truly mean?

“Make sure you don’t get in trouble today!” my dad screamed before I ran out of the house. “Dad, I know! You tell me this everyday!” I screamed back.

We always see the ads of the children in third world countries who don't get to school. These ads are supposed to show us that "school is a privilege" and that "others aren't fortunate enough to have schooling." But is it really worth it? In thriving, first world countries do the results justify the means when it comes to the education system? Many think that they do, but even more would disagree.

Teachers face an unending battle. Twenty students in a room, all learning and acting in mysterious ways. It is the teacher's war to gather their attention, hold it, and give a lesson compelling enough to teach them something. Right?
Anya LeighPublished 6 years ago in EducationJourney of a Nursing Student
So nursing, the profession of our decade right now. I chose this because, to be frank, I don't have a good reason—I just did. I didn't have an epiphany one morning and know that this is what I wanted to do. I didn't make a pros and cons sheet and pick this because of what I liked about it. My mom is a nurse, my ex-stepmother was a nurse, my brother is now a nurse. Kind of made sense I guess. I did learn throughout my experiences, that this is what I want to do. It does interest me and helping people when they need help the most is something that I want to be apart of.

The world as we know it has drastically changed in the spans of just a few generations. In many ways the scope of the human dream has expanded radically, and in many ways it has shrunk. Technology is pushing our view of what is possible to new limits, and never before have so many people had access to such a breadth of knowledge. This is truly the bleeding edge of history. This truly is the Information Age. Yet, with all of the knowledge we have accumulated as a species, and as a global culture, mass ignorance pervades. The framework of human learning has changed so quickly with the rise of accessible travel, mass communications, and the the internet, but the way that we educate our children has but slowly progressed since 1821. At this critical point in history, it is time that we re-examine how we should be pouring into the lives of the youth, and how we can foster a new renaissance of human excellence.
Drake CollinsPublished 6 years ago in EducationCollege Sucks and High School Doesn't Matter
College really sucks. Don't get me wrong. I have so much admiration in my heart for academia, school spirit, the connections, all of it; however, it can be a downer. I don't want anyone to read this and think "Wow, college is the worst." It is still an important and pivotal part of growing up and dancing into adulthood. As a college freshman, however, I've had a rude awakening.
Different Learning Styles
Visual learning is about seeing stuff. As a clairvoyant, I get to see a lot of different things in my dreams, visions or seeing auras in general. Auditory learners like to listen to tape-recorded lectures as one learning strategy that they can have. Verbal writing or speeches is another type of learning style. Physical learning involves using touch and your body to process information. Logical people use logic to reason about things, as well as systems. Social learning implies you learn in groups or with other people, solitary learners like me prefer to sit alone with books or using self-study methods.
Iria Vasquez-PaezPublished 6 years ago in EducationA Student's Guide to Being Stress Free
Stress that's caused from education and studying is often neglected by adults who underestimate the pressures that young people now go through. When I was younger, there was no one to give me advice or to even take me seriously when I suffered from stress early into my schooling. However, moving to university and being on my own enabled me to find the best, and stress-free, ways to live and study. Here are six things I do to ensure that I remain stress free at university...
