Access to information is quick and easy these days. There is no dearth of information or the ways in which we can find it. Therefore it is easy to become overwhelmed, get lost, and be confused. As teachers it is necessary that we tell our students how they can sort through and use the right kind of information to further their learning. But to teach our students that we first have to develop our own strategies of dealing with information overload.

Are your students not keen readers, especially of the literary texts? If you are wondering how to bring some interest in reading among your students get them to form Literature Circles and discuss, draw, question books of their choice. You will soon see that apart from developing an appreciation for reading your students have also developed social and cognitive skills.

Homework is an essential part of a student’s life but more often than not we find that student’s don’t do their homework. Instead of admonishing the child and continuing with our teaching let us try and understand the importance of homework first and then spice up our student’s homework assignments so that they will want to do them.

How often have we not heard sentences like, ‘I is happy,’ or ‘Everyone have come today’? If a student or for that matter a teacher gets the subject-verb agreement wrong does it mean that he/she needs a remedial course in grammar? That he/she doesn’t know English? That he/she cannot speak the language? Well remedial courses are not the answers to every problem and a remedial course in grammar certainly won’t help in any way in improving the way one speaks the English language.

Global warming–a word that is so often in the news these days. While we are all aware of what global warming means do we really know why it is happening and how? Here are a couple of experiments that show, on a much smaller scale of course, how global warming happens.

Every professional can apparently discuss and even demand money but not teachers. Why this distinction? Aren’t teachers professionals like anybody else? Why then do we expect them to be selfless? Teachers too can and should talk about money for providing their expertise.

What is our instinctive reaction to a disobedient child? Most of us will give some kind of a punishment in the hope that the child will not make the same mistakes again. But how effective are punishments? Doesn’t it make more sense to talk to the child about the consequences of a certain behaviour and help them understand why certain things are allowed and why others not?
