To all those students who feel they have problems that can be used as an excuse to do nothing and expecting everything To complain about nothing when they are given everything To settle for nothing instead of believing building trusting knowing giving growing What will it take for you to start living and not just being a dead matter of existence What will it take for you to start working at becoming YOU the dead living YOU the aimless trying reflect on the BEAUTIFUL TRUTH of life through Giving. To all those students who have all of nothing and missing the happiness of giving Effort a little for someone other than yourself and know that life is for living only by us giving a little to another an other than our selves a change in the focus from things that provoke us from tasks we taught impossible to all that God made disposable right in our hands aright to our feet to all those students who feel they have problems that are used as excuses to do nothing and expecting everything

What it means to study as a group vs. Yourself by Mr. Cooper

Have a 10min. Alarm set to go off as a pace maker for your group and have a person in this role i. Start with a point form sentence with no more than two terms missing ii. Drawings for labelling iii. Make true or false sentences iv. essay type questions that require an answer in small paragraphs 3 -5 lines
 * 1) Read the sections in the chapter as related to the topic
 * 2) Quickly divide the sections amongst the group e.g. you take the first 2 section.........
 * 3) Each member summarises their section in various ways
 * 4) Firstly: write it over in point form highlighting any bold terms
 * 5) Using the points create any kind of flow chart, drawing or reproduce in a simpler form any given diagram large and clear.
 * 6) Use the points to create simple assessments eg fiil in the blanks
 * 7) Create a power point of question followed by answer and or translate into audio reciting the question, pause and then recite the answer.
 * 1) Present your bite of data to your group for review. If this is done on the wiki you all can be at your separate homes and alter each other’s data from your understanding and can make up new questions to drill each other.
 * 2) This can be done on your own but you will be __**limited**__ by your __**single**__ pace, view and understanding.
 * Studying depends on __your ability to **classify**__ information for the purpose of 1. **Retention** followed by 2. **The use/application** of the information in new ways and situations.
 * FAST Retention = being focused (keen observation without distraction) + repetition (to preserve forming a mental picture)
 * **"The best way to build confidence is to gain experience" quoted from star wars clone wars season 3 **.
 * How?
 * By answering questions even if you do the same set of questions over a couple of times.

=How to learn like a memory champion= David Robson [|Read more about these links.] #|////

(Thinkstock) Companies are creating learning aids that tap the science of memories, says David Robson. Do they work in the classroom?

Can schools survive the web age?
=====[|My teacher is an app]===== BBC Radio 4 explores how technology is changing learning For most of his 20s, Ed Cooke had been hovering around the top 10 of the World Memory Championships. His [|achievements included] memorising 2,265 binary digits in 30 minutes and the order of 16 packs of playing cards in just an hour. But at the age of 26, he was getting restless, and wanted to help others to learn like him. "The memory techniques take a certain discipline," he says. "I wanted a tool that would just allow you to relax into learning." The resulting brainchild was Memrise. Launched in 2010, the website and app is now helping more than 1.4 million users to learn foreign languages, history and science with the ease of Cooke's memory powers. It has been followed by similar apps that also take the pain out of learning – both for individuals, and in schools, with some teachers finding benefits that even Cooke couldn't have predicted. “It's very powerful – it does all the spade work of learning,” says Dominic Traynor, who teaches Spanish at the St Cuthbert with St Matthias Primary School in London, UK. “I would say we've covered a year's worth of work in the first six months.” As Cooke first set out developing his idea, he turned to his former classmate at Oxford University, Princeton neuroscientist Greg Detre, to help update his [|tried-and-tested techniques with the latest understanding of memory]. Together, they came up with some [|basic principles] that would guide Memrise’s progress over the following years. The first is the idea of “elaborative” learning – in which you try to give extra meaning to a fact to try to get it to stick in the mind. These “mems”, as the team call them, are particularly effective if they tickle the funny bone as well as the synapses – and so for each fact that you want to learn, you are encouraged to find an amusing image or phrase that helps plant the memory in your mind. For example, in one German language course, the word “abend” for evening, is illustrated with [|a picture of Abraham Lincoln listening to a ghetto blaster], with the caption “Abe ends work in the evening”. It’s silly, but that’s the point – an absurd image is memorable. To cultivate those memories, the app then sets you a series of carefully timed tests over the days, weeks and months that follow. Numerous experiments over the past few years have shown that the best way to build new neural pathways is to try and [|recall it afresh], helping subjects remember more than twice as much, over the long term, than just passively reading the material; self-testing also turns out to be [|more effective than creative techniques] like drawing diagrams and mind maps. Although you can find other apps designed for rote learning and drilling in this way, Memrise makes use of another trick. Detre had found that the most effective time to reactivate a memory is when you feel that it is [|half-remembered, half-forgotten] – when you feel it’s on the “tip of your tongue” but you can't quite reach it. So the Memrise team have designed an algorithm that predicts the arrival of that agonising state, and then springs a test on you. Since the app constantly tracks your progress, over time it becomes more accurate at predicting your learning curve, helping you surf the waves of your memory to more efficient learning. Fun learning All of which may help take the pain out of learning; however, the big challenge was to make it fun too. “We're always having to compete for your attention when you look at the screen of your phone,” says Ben Whately, Memrise's chief operating officer. “The experience has to have as much light-hearted interest as something like Pinterest.” But the team have also tried hard to create a community of learners that encourages friendly competition – so users can upload their courses to share with other people looking to learn the same subject, and they can compare their rank on a leader board. “We needed people to be comfortable to share stuff on sites like Facebook in order for it to get up and running on such a big scale,” says Whately. Unsurprisingly, it was the friendly competition element that captured the attention of Traynor's primary school pupils learning Spanish. “As soon as they come into the classroom, they want to see where they are on the leader board,” he says. And there are other advantages. Each lesson, Traynor tends to split the class into two – while half are doing the “spade work” on vocabulary learning on the school's iPads, he can teach the others – before the two halves switch over. By working with these smaller groups, he can then give more individual attention to each child's understanding of the grammar. Even more powerfully, Traynor recently began encouraging his class to record and upload their pronunciation of the words onto the app – which they can then share with their classmates using the course. The sound of their classmates seems to have spurred on their enthusiasm, says Traynor. “They're constantly trying to work out whose voice they're hearing,” he says. “So they're giving more attention to the different sounds. I think it's improved their speaking and listening dramatically.” Although most courses on Memrise deal with foreign languages, teachers in other subjects are also starting to bring the technology to their classroom. Simon Birch from The Broxbourne School in Hertfordshire, for instance, uses it to teach the advanced terminology needed for food technology exams, while his school’s English department are using it to drill spelling. "The benefits for literacy can't be overstated," Birch says. The Memrise team are now hoping to develop further features that might help teachers like Birch and Traynor – by providing them with data on students’ progress, so they can see which bits of the course are failing to stick. And following Memrise’s success, other companies seem to be seeing the potential of applying the art and science of memory to learning apps. For instance, the [|Cerego app], which launched in September 2013, also times your learning and testing to boost recall, and its team have so far launched courses on brain anatomy, music theory and art history. The team’s preliminary tests on school students suggests that classes [|perform between 20-50% better] using the app, and they are actively working with teachers and educational institutions to develop courses together. So are we coming close to the relaxed, effortless learning that Cooke first envisaged? Traynor thinks so; many of his class are so hooked that they readily practice Spanish on their iPads at home, to the point that he now has to plan four or five lessons in advance. “That's the strength of it,” he says. “The learning just doesn't stop.” [|Read more in the Future Education series].

Dear students Please read this passage and tell me what you think, you may even discuss it with your parents: and add comments below

There has been an over emphasis on revision using pass paper questions. While it is prudent to have some idea of what is coming and to build confidence by pass paper experience. The over emphasis on doing pass papers over studying steadily from the get-go is unhealthy. It may create a devotion for answer seeking or exam conditioning at the expence of the learning process. learning the process is dictated by the need to the get the right answer quickly or to pass an exam (craming). The result is that the process where in lies true long term benefit, true growth and development (a slow rewarding process) is replaced by answer seeking, a loss of creativity, exam training or proping (you can pass or excel in an examination no more no less). In short, the ends now control the means rather than learning through a means to an end. Which then is more valuable for your life, Tell me what do you think should most occupy your focus and efforts?
 * is it the certified paper 'ends' - top SPR, CXC CERTIFICATES ETC. or
 * is it the maturing through learning 'the means' - struggling, searching and knowing your home work, project work and self as you take part in your school life.

[] **top 10 predators in the world check it**
[] hahahaah great white sharks and the orca cant compete with this!! Before you boast about Megalodon consider why such a predatory fish did not survive and why mammals have evolved to be the one class of vertebrates ruling the terrestrial and aquatic environments today?

idk probably climate change, or most likely the geographical changing of our earth's landscape, and underwater landscape, as more than half of our oceans are not mapped out to exact depths.

[] Before we swollow without empirical evidence this video about what some american teens placed as cute reasons for becoming a herbivore - (vegetarian) **lets come up with 15 reasons for keeping meat in our diets**. i'll start us off 2. herbivores are built to digest all plant matter effectively and efficiently, but humans aren't built to digest all plant matter that we may eat.
 * 1) Our bucal cavity (mouth) does not have the shape or space to ingest and digest plant matter as effective as a herbivore.

The leopard seal - a 3 metre long voracious predator found throughout the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic. As you can see from this image, they eat penguins as well as smaller seals and fish. There are even accounts of them attacking divers. However, iIn 2009 a female leopard seal seemed to "adopt" a National Geographic photographer, and spent four days attempting to teach him to hunt. When this failed, she would bring him dead or dying penguins and try to feed him.
