Summertime An Ideal Time for Test Prep

Summertime An Ideal Time for Test Prep Summertime: An Ideal Time for Test Prep If your teen is preparing to take the SAT or ACT anytime soon, there is no better time for him or her to register for a customized exam prep course now. Summer break is the perfect opportunity for students to focus on studying for the SAT or ACT, because their schedules are far less crowded with school and extracurricular activities. Your teen can work from a targeted schedule to put him or herself in the best position for the upcoming exam. To get the most out of his or her efforts, here are a few tips for your teen as he or she engages in summertime exam prep: Register. The registration deadlines for the upcoming exams are as follows: Exam Test date Registration deadline ACT September 8, 2018 August 10, 2018 ACT October 27, 2018 September 28, 2018 SAT August 25, 2018 July 27, 2018 SAT October 6, 2018 September 7, 2018 SAT November 3, 2018 October 5, 2018 PSAT October 10 13, 2018 Talk with the school PSAT coordinator Encourage your teen to register now so that he or she has a committed date on the booksand a goal to work toward. That date will be the starting point when developing a study schedule. Know the exam. For the most effective prep, your teen must be familiar with the exam he or she plans to take (and the differences between the ACT and the SAT). It is worthwhile to investigate the preferred exam at his or her colleges of choice. Most important, your teen should understand the structure and sections of the exam he or she is taking in order to study efficiently and effectively. Make a plan and stick to it. Your teen will be far more successful if he or she has a schedule and a detailed plan to follow at each study session. Every sessions work plan should be divided into exam sections and should take into account the students strengths and weaknesses so he or she does not waste valuable time on areas where he or she is stronger and gloss over areas where he or she is weak. The best way to assess those strengths and weaknesses is by taking an initial practice exam. Dont underestimate the practice exam. No study plan is complete if it does not incorporate practice exams. Your student will get a much better feel for the SAT or ACTs structure and different question types (and how to answer them) when he or she takes an actual, full-length, timed practice exam. Work on speed. Both the SAT and ACT are timed exams with no fluff time. Subject-matter knowledge is critical, but your teen must also be able to manage his or her time effectively to earn the best score. That means he or she will need to become comfortable reading and understanding the questions, narrowing down the choices and recognizing wrong answersall very quickly. Understandably, it can be overwhelming for teens to know where to begin with SAT or ACT exam prep. If your teen needs help, call Huntington.

President Obama visits The Daily Show

President Obama visits The Daily Show President Obama on The Daily Show October 18, 2012Getty Images It was disappointing that Stewart, after spending the better part of his eighteenth season criticizing the softball questions the media often directs towards candidates, could not come up with better questions himself to ask the President. Even the phrasing of the questions was embarrassingly soft, as when he asked if President Obama thought he had a “stronger affirmative case for a second Barack Obama presidency or a stronger negative case for a Mitt Romney presidency,” or if he preferred a “melange?” The President predictably stated that he thought he had a good case for both, and then returned, again, to his talking points. I genuinely expected more from Jon Stewart. He can continue to insist that he’s just a comedian, and his political views clearly bias him in favor of Obama, but once you’ve won multiple Peabody awards, he can’t get away with simply referencing Joe Biden in a swimsuit when he interviews the President of the United States. (Although, that joke, and Obama’s quick and funny retort was, arguably, the high point of the interview.) Stewart’s questions could have been sharper and more direct, but with only three weeks until the election, you can’t blame the President for wanting to stay on script. He spoke in front of an audience that could not have been more receptive and enthusiastic if it was created in a Democrat chemist’s top secret laboratory. Obama’s closing statement, urging people to vote may have been the most controversial statement he made all evening, if for nothing else, because it inadvertently brings up one of the key issues of this election season: the Electoral College. While on The View, Mitt Romney’s wife, Ann, also unknowingly referenced the corrupt nature of the college. While speaking with the hosts, someone mentioned that in New York, there are not many political ads. Mrs. Romney answered, “Trust me, the audience members that are in swing states are sick of [political ads].” This statement highlights the already visible pandering to swing states, like Ohio, which of late, seems to be the only state in the Union that matters to the candidates. It is a shame that instead of visiting every state, candidates are forced to focus on only those that might win them strategic electoral votes.

How to Handle a Stressful Work Environment

How to Handle a Stressful Work Environment Photo by Pedro Figueras from Pexels Find Healthy Outlets If you are finding yourself feeling stressed at work, you need to find ways to blow off steam. That way you can avoid having a breakdown of any sort, whether that be physical, mental, or emotional. You never want to let yourself get to the point that you feel like you cannot do or take anymore. You do not want to give up on a project you are working on, or yell at a co-worker, or even feel like you need to leave work and just get up and go. Instead, find healthy outlets to help you de-stress periodically throughout the day so that your frustration and stress do not build up to a breaking point. They can be small tasks so that you do not get in trouble for not doing your work. Maybe once an hour, you spend one minute doing deep breathing exercises. Every other hour, you take a pause and drink a cup of water. Every couple of hours, you get up and walk around the building for five minutes just to get your blood flowing and your heart pumping. Set yourself a goalâ€"if you meet this deadline, you can watch a three-minute video of puppies rolling around. Take the moments that you need so that you do not end up needing a long recovery time instead. Really Take Your Lunch Break One key strategy to help you handle a stressful work environment is to make sure you have clear breaks between when you are working and when you are not working. Some people like to have a working lunch. They will sit and munch on some food as they go through their work tasks and sort of stretch out their eating. Do not do this. When you have a lunch break, actually take your lunch break. Do not do work during it. If you do not feel like you cannot take the full amount of time you are allotted to eat (whether that be half an hour, an hour, etc.), then you can shorten it, though it is recommended that you take the full time. The law has set that time aside for you to have a break for a reason. But if you cannot, you can take whatever time you want or need instead. Just make sure that you are not doing work during it. This is applicable to breaks other than lunch breaks as well. Do Not Take It Home Continuing on with this idea, do not take your work home with you either. You are not getting paid to work on it at home, or even to stress or worry about it outside of work. So don’t! Do not take work-related calls, do not check your email after 9 p.m., whatever rules you need in order to keep yourself grounded. In fact, a truly great way to help yourself avoid stress is to avoid having your work email on your phone. That way, you cannot be bombarded constantly. When you are at work and on your work email, then you will see it. And there is never a work emergency that is worth your own health. Photo by energepic.com from Pexels No matter what your work throws at you to stress you out, you want to be able to stay on top of your own health and manage it, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional health. You need to put yourself and your health first, over any job. If you are not doing this in the first jobs that you take, even as a college student, then you may never do so. Set the precedent and make handling a stressful work environment in a healthy way a habit now so that you do not have to struggle as much in each new job you take.

Internet Safety Tips - ALOHA Mind Math

Internet Safety Tips ALOHA Mind Math Learning Centers offers parents internet safety tips to protect their children online, especially during the holiday break. School breaks mean more family gatherings, but that means the kids have more down time. Here are some valuable tips for parents to keep their child safe on the internet.http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/parent-guide/parent-guide Parents should advise children when and where they can go online. They should be allowed to go to certain sites to do a specific task, such as play a game, turn in homework, or watch a movie. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, parents also need to teach children not to share their passwords. Online they should not tell their full name, home address, town, telephone, or even mention their school online, on social media, or elsewhere with anyone. Some unscrupulous people have separate personas online and they are not who they say or appear to be. For that reason the FBI suggests children do not share or accept anything from someone they met online. This includes photos, documents, gifts, money, anything, even a donation of their time. Parents need to instruct their children to not meet anyone met online without parental permission. Most internet safety software has parental controls. Block general and specific sites that are not appropriate for children. If password protected do not use known or obvious passwords the child may know. Monitor children’s use of all electronic communications. This includes chat rooms, instant messaging, social media profiles, messaging and groups, texts, chats, email, and other means. Parents need to limit the amount of time their child spends online. Research shows this is not only healthier to their overall wellbeing, but the authorities caution parents to limit their use, especially in the evenings and weekends when offenders tend to troll to meet and lure children. Additional safety advice from the Federal Bureau of Investigation to keep children safe online: Parents need to communicate and talk with their children about potential online dangers. Spend time with children online. Ask about their favorite internet destinations. Do not keep the computer, tablet, or smartphone in the child’s room. Keep the computers and other electronic devices in a common room in the house. This makes it difficult for an offender to communicate with a child when the screen is visible to all. Monitor chat rooms closely. While parents should utilize these mechanisms, they should not totally rely on them. Always maintain access to the child’s online accounts and randomly check their email. Also watch mail. Be up front with the child about parental access and why. Teach online responsibility. Talk to the local school and public library staff about their computer safeguards. Speak to parents of their friends too. Safety Instructions for Parents to Teach Their Children: Never arrange a face-to-face meeting with someone they met on line. Never upload or post photos of themselves online or service to people they do not personally know. Never give out identifying information, such as their name, home address, school name, or telephone number. Never download pictures from an unknown source. Never respond to messages or other posts which are suggestive, obscene, belligerent, or harassing. Keep children safe. Be on guard. Parents need to talk to their children about the dangers online and off. Whatever they are told online, it may or may not be true. If they see or hear something that makes them uncomfortable they should immediately inform their parents, who then need to contact the authorities. Parents need to be proactive, teach, and monitor their child’s communications, online actions, and interactions. Being an informed and direct parent can hopefully prevent future dangerous situations.

What Is MMT in Chemistry?

What Is MMT in Chemistry?What is MMT in Chemistry? It is the subject of the course but not of a subject. It's a term used to describe a common framework for teaching. MMT stands for Mathematics For Non-Maths Teachers.Teaching Math to children doesn't have to be all about memorizing facts. In fact, it doesn't even have to involve facts. For many years, science teachers taught students facts because that's what science teachers were expected to do. And it worked well. Until computers came along.Now we have chemistry programs that don't require students to memorize facts or numbers. How can teaching chemistry in this new environment is different? Well, instead of having students simply memorize facts and numbers, they can be taught methods that teach through images and methods. These new programs teach from an approach called Content Based Instruction (CBI). This is a style of teaching that looks at teaching not just facts, but also how methods affect the learning process.According to C BSI, these new approaches are creating new models for education. They're creating ways to connect science with the experiences of students. In a way, the content of the program matters more than the facts or numbers.Of course, there's a problem with changing what works. Students can spend more time memorizing facts and numbers rather than getting the new concepts out of the way. In this instance, you need to design a program that motivates students to take action. Then you need to design the program so that it prepares students for the new concepts. You need to use a number of strategies to get this done.The new programs that focus on teaching through images are especially good for Math. For one thing, they're really interactive. It doesn't matter whether you're using images that come from nature or the computer. Whether your students are looking at a rock or a mountain or a tree or a flower, they're interacting with the image. They're connecting concepts to images. What's more, the images are used in a natural setting which allows students to relate to them.Using CBI to teach Math has been a success for both College Level Math and Online MMLM. The content is interesting and engaging. The image and the tool are fun and easy to use. What's more, teachers can get real time feedback from their students as they use the tools. When you combine a curriculum that motivates students to interact with pictures and ideas and a program that prepares students for the new concepts, you have a program that's effective and highly effective.
