How to Increase Concentration?

As the various dimensions increase for children to explore, the distractions also increase. Today children have multiple avenues to increase creativity and foster learning along with entertainment and fun, but more often than not, these also tend to distract children.

This requires a better concentration building among children.

One of the most effective ways to do this is, play focus games, these games don’t just imply learning but also foster concentration.

Another way that is proven by many is coding and AI, these increase their concentration and logical mindset.

Other ways that are generic for all are,

Fixing a regular routine, which includes balanced study, fun and rest.

Dividing a heavy hectic task into smaller tasks and working through them so the ability of organizing also increases

A nap of 6-8 hours on one stretch should be ensured

It is important to understand the ways of learning of the kid, if it is based on numbers, visuals or activities and help them build concentration based on that

It is proven that solving mathematical or logical problems helps to build concentration and understand things efficiently.

These are some ways apart from meditation, yoga etc. that can effectively build the concentration power of children without sacrificing any of their act.

Impact of Covid-19 on Education.

As the CBSE Board results get declared this week, it became evidently clear that a lot of disruptions happened in the Education sector due to COVID Pandemic situation. As per an UNESCO report, the pandemic will unfavorably affect more than 290 million understudies across 22 nations because of the conclusion of schools in the wake of the lockdown. And that is what happened.

We were clearly not prepared for one such situation, however an urgent supplement had to take over. Which was online education. Not that virtual education wouldn’t have come otherwise, but it would have taken some time to get acquainted with. So, we can actually say, COVID Pandemic accelerated the inevitable.

In the course of recent years, e-learning has seen an upgrade because of the omnipresent Internet network, the expansion of cell phones and huge advances in innovation.

Thus, calling for further innovations and functions in the Ed-tech industry.

This acceleration of Virtual Education has brought about several advantages for the education sector, which include cost reduction, flexibility, More networking opportunities, better time management and numerous others.

Now, certainly the infrastructure and lack of expertise with digital equipment is still a challenge for many, but this is only supposed to grow with time. Brick and mortar kind of schools cannot all of a sudden switch with virtual classrooms but it is surely in the process and getting only better with internet connectivity.

Importance of technological Education.

“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.”

This lines precisely sums up today’s scenario. Today technology plays a much more important role in our lives than it ever had. The dependence, the strength and the usage are much more today.

Hence it becomes all the more important to involve technological education as a part of learning.

While our traditional education did keep a glimpse of what technology could mean to the millennial generation, today education needs to focus more on the power that technology gives us. For this it is required to integrate technological education.

As automation, AI, IoT take over the usual pace of processes, they also bring about innovation, efficiency, time & cost reduction with them. When students are empowered with learnings of these technologies, they tend to have a more open mind that is agile and ready to seek solutions.

Technological education builds up a solution centric approach. As coding develops creative and logical thinking of a student, it also gives them potential to be globally competitive. Today the scenario of education is changing in the entire world.

This is also because unlike previous generations, children already know how to tackle technological devices, how to operate them and how to make most of it. So, it becomes important to educate them of the power technology holds so that they, the future denizens can build innovations recognized everywhere.

Future of Online Education.

As e-learning platforms witness a sudden surge in downloads during the pandemic, it became utmost clear that online learning is the future of education.

Coming to rescue were platforms like zoom, WebEx etc. that enabled webinar and online classes.

But how did it all happen? And it is temporary or its going to stay this way? Are we still ready to embrace this new way? About a lot of questions arise with it.

COVID-19 Pandemic came as a realization of our dependence on physical ways of learning. It took quite some time for all institutes to embrace this shift of classrooms to virtual rooms. But it also enabled us to rediscover and come up with better solutions. In conducting exams, organizing discussions, learning procedures, all the processes saw a shift from regular.

And the best part, it made us realize, Education needs a revolution too.

While everything is transforming into the digital version today, education needs that morphing as well.

Why Online learning?

Simple,

It’s more flexible than traditional learning. Both teacher and student can adapt to their ways in a virtual classroom.
It’s more accessible. You can be anywhere doing anything but all you need is a device and connectivity to join the classes.
It offers a wider range. In terms of courses, platforms and dimensions, online learning offers much more range of options than traditional would.
It’s cost saving. All the expense of location, maintenance, equipments, textbooks etc. can be replaced by little expenses of pdf, e-books etc.

There is more than one benefit of e-learning and hence it is surely here to stay. Having had a tenure of more than 3 months depending on online education, we are getting acquainted with the ways of it. So, it’s time we accept this shift, be agile and keep pace with changing environment.

Importance of Coding in Education at early age.

As we see today in this rapidly evolving world, the traditional concepts of education i.e. teaching only basic subjects seem futile. Today we are empowered by artificial intelligence, Machine learning, robotics etc. This is the new common and necessity too.

By imbibing the concept of coding in education, we can empower the children too. Coding enables a mind to understand and think logic, it increases critical thinking of a person and avails for problem solving ability.

The mere learning of facts in education is fading away. Those who excel at applying that knowledge to build solutions are the ones who succeed. And an excellent way to develop that approach is through coding.

By introduction coding into early education, students not just gain logic and sharp mindset but they also understand mathematics and other applied subjects from basics. Instead of mugging up the concept they tend to understand the reasons behind them.

Thus, in this constantly changing environment, where technology is rapidly taking over conventional, it becomes even more important to introduce coding into education at early age.

How to Manage Screen Time for Children?

Technology has brought about various benefits in our lives. It made our lives easier and more efficient. But every coin has two sides. Especially, for children. While it empowers them in multiple ways. It also affects them in some.

Screen time is one such issue. Be it for smart learning or entertainment or games, children spend a lot of time these days on screen. This can be done in various ways like, educating yourself about the need. Setting the priorities. If something cannot be compromised then the time has to be limited.

Creating screen free zones at homes. Extract some time where the strain on mind is reduced.

Encouraging outdoor activities. It is just as important for children to go out and play as well

Educate the child too with the harm caused by electronic usage. Once they know the harm, they can be careful too.

Have a defined schedule: Prepare a proper schedule and adhere to it regarding the usage of screen and time.

With some of these steps and with mindful monitoring of screen time, you can render all technologies to children along with saving them from harmful rays.
