It's All About Computer Skills!

Before jumping into the biggest step, which is integrating technology into education, we must learn all about computers. First of all, we should study the parts of the computer, such as the monitor, keyboard, mouse, computer data storage, the hard disk drive, and system unit (memory, motherboard and chips), all of these parts are touchable. However, the software is a set of instructions that directs the computer to run specific operations.

Once we learn the essential and important information about computers, we can now talk about communication. Communication is the process of sharing data programs, and information between two or more computers. Communication is accomplished by a network which is a group of connected computers. In order to perform any kind of communication, we must have connection devices such as modems. We also need connection services (ADSL, 3G, 4G). ADSL allows users to access the internet through your home fixed lines and provides fast internet connections.

We must master our computer skills before asking our students to do a research over the internet.

Happy Teacher's Day!

School is the kids' second home because the main role of a teacher is to make students feel as if they are at home; when they are at home they feel comfortable, fearless, happy and safe, and each student should picture school as such. They should not be afraid of asking questions, and this feeling is only provided by the teacher.

Skillful teachers set rules that teach students how to be polite and respect classmates, in other words, students are like an empty CD that are waiting to be filled, consequently if you fill them with nourishing and meaningful ideas, they will play positive and vice versa.

Furthermore, brilliant teachers set the emotional tone for the classroom, design and implement learning activities, and assess student learning. Their attitudes and beliefs are essential.These characteristics such as enthusiasm, caring, modeling and high expectations promote learner motivation, they are also linked to increased student achievement.
