The Collaborative Classroom is a model that honors all teachers and supports all students with intentional, field-tested practices that create safe environments. In Collaborative Classrooms, teachers facilitate an authentic exchange of ideas and children learn to become caring, principled people as well as thoughtful, disciplined learners. Teachers who use the Collaborative Classroom model make an intentional shift from having a classroom where they do the majority of the talking to constructing a learning situation and then facilitating it through student thinking and talking. Teachers are increasingly using digital tools to stay ahead of today’s digitally literate students. Here are eight ways they’re harnessing technology for collaborating with students, both in the classroom and online: 1. Digital Projectors – A LCD projector allows teachers to share digital content with students. The beauty of the digital projector is its versatility—it works with any digital ...

If ever there was a time to realize that time flies, it’s now. Well, the stores are not doing any of us favor when they brand their polyethene bags with Christmas trees or the mall putting up Christmas lights. Yes, the year is almost coming to a close and this is the only time we can realize that time flies. In January, we were all wondering how the year will punch us right back. Remember trying to come up with some list of things we’d like to change. How many have we achieved so far? Time is given in equal measure and quantity. If ever there was a gift more powerful than time, then all would be in vain. Many sayings have been coined with time. “Time is money”, “give time time”, “time waits for no man” and so many more. They all mean the same. That time is a very important aspect of life and we really need to understand this. In all its measure and wonder, we are still yet to fathom its meaning let alone its discipline. Philosophy aside, this post was dedicated to the ...

Campus life is fazed by a myriad of activities. Everyday something new comes up and we always have to keep up with it. It’s very difficult in this time and age to know what is happening all around you. We are so engrossed in our mobile phones that at times life can just pass us by without noticing. We are either double tapping or scrolling. This is an outcry of how communication has been thrown out of the gutter because of these merciless phones that do not give people the chance to speak to each other. Ever sat down after meeting new people and felt out of place the second you introduced yourself. Not because you met new people but because you could not talk to anyone after since everyone was on their phones seemingly busy enough not to engage you in a talk. I wonder, really where did we go wrong in terms of communicating? Is it because we find it easier communicating with people who are not in close proximity or is it because it is easier texting than saying words? I sometim...

In the advent of tele marketing, apps, websites and all the technological advancements, we still do heavily rely on the traditional method of finding houses. That is, walking around looking for the “TO LET” sign. Indeed, looking for a house has never been an easy affair and that is why I have dedicated this article in helping you know the other side of the story. Also, I will define con men who are out there to swindle you when you are most vulnerable. Looking for a house is as depressing as ever especially when you are desperate. The rule of the thumb is that, when you want something, do not want it desperately because chances are you are going to get a raw deal. So first things first. You know you need to move out of your house for a variety of reasons that I probably could not mention in this post alone. You have identified the characteristics of the house you wish to now occupy. Just to mention a few, cheaper, more bedrooms, more bathrooms, a compound, security and the lis...

First year is always a haze. From all the excitement, buzz, zeal and generally fast paced activities, a first year is always a “fresha.” Fresh out of high school, still thinking of how university is an escape into a free world. Freedom is the first thing that they envision. Imagination takes the best of them considering they spent more than four months watching movies about sororities and all, so they come expecting that the hostels in campus will be all fun and games. The first shocker comes in when you are required to be bunk mates with other guys you hardly know. In high school, I bet it was easy to just walk around in your towel and rush to dry bath, however in campus, it gets difficult somehow. Probably because the girls’ hostel is just nearby and one or two will always come by the shower and stare at your bones. The booze, parties, night outs, meetups and what have you. Freedom is what they cried for and they get it in abundance. They go out when they want and only when...
