Benefits of Educational Games

Nowadays, the computer games are the most spread games in the whole world and all aged children are sitting in front of the TV with that control in their hands and without knowing that control is controlling their brains and making them think like robots. We as teachers and mothers at the same time should do our best to stop our children and students playing these video games and instead give our time to them and make them play educational games that will enhance their memory, activate their thinking ability, develop hand-eye coordination...
If a teacher uses these type of games in her teaching, this will help the learner get higher scores, since they will me more engaged in the activity and increases their learning abilities.
Moreover, these types of games have proven to have a significant effect of students with ADHD and has helped them to increase their skill buildings.
So, as a mother and a teacher at the same time I encourage to use educationale games at school and at homes and see the benefits by yourselves.

    I like this topic because most of the parents and teachers believe that playing games means useless time that kids spend doing nothing. Both of them must be aware of the time their kids spend on games and their type. Games can be educational, adventure, real- time, action and many others. Kids when play games use their senses and challenge their brains to solve puzzles for examples and this can really play a vital role in improving their skills in some way. The responsibility falls to parents who need to monitor the types of games their kids are installing and spending time on.

Introduction to Neo Skinnerian Model and when to use it

  Introduction to Neo Skinnerian Model It is a module of discipline that is concerned with shaping desired behavior. This model is related to Skinner’s new ideas that were taken from him by other writers and used by them to shape students’ behavior in class, so it was not proposed by him.   (Andrius, 2013) It is about behavior modification that teachers need to have in their classes with students in order to have good classroom management especially for young teacher. This model states that “Behavior is conditioned by its consequences. Behavior is strengthened if followed immediately by reinforcement and it is weakened if it is not reinforced.”   (Allen, 1996) There are 3 steps before adapting this model. First, the teacher should do an analysis to determine concerns and decide what the desired behavior should be. Second, the teacher should develop a plan and connect the desired behaviors she/he wishes to accomplish, with the reinforcements and the consequences needed t

East Vs West Philosphoes

These two philosophies differ in three principles: individualism vs. collectivism, fragmentary and holistic, and conflict and harmony. First, individualism is highly desired in the West. I think this is ironic because although people may superficially praise individualism, what they really want is conformity. In a philosophical context, Western schools emphasize the individual experience as being independent from the universe and society. Just as the Western idea of individualism can get out of hand; the idea of collectivism has been damaging in the history of the East. Example, Tyrannical communist leaders have devastated people from North Korea to Cambodia. Another example is that Confucianism and Taoism, while they do share some similarities, are actually different. Confucianism is more political and ethical, and it stresses duty to others, tradition, and ceremony. On the other hand, Taoism is more metaphysical and epistemological, and is similar to Western philosophies since st
