When learning doesn’t feel like learning

Technology is changing the way we learn for the better. We believe there is always going to be a time and a place for a classroom and a teacher, but a lot of the traditional teaching and learning techniques are being rapidly replaced by their technological counterparts and learning is evolving. It is now more interactive, engaging, flexible and even fun. For most of us, when we think of learning, we picture a stuffy classroom and mundane text books with seemingly never-ending facts, dates and text. The days of routinely pulling out your highlighter and proceeding to laboriously change the color of your entire text book are now over. Thanks to the introduction of technology into learning, learning does not even feel like learning anymore. In this article, we look at some of the wa...

Ways To Maintain The Right Energy And Stay Alert

General

We live in a fast-paced age whereby, as an adult, there is the never-ending rush to get somewhere or have some activity accomplished. The truth is that the average adult always has lots of responsibilities to juggle, and without the right balance, this can become draining. It is therefore not surprising that the majority of adults today are held back by exhaustion and a feeling that they could do better with extra day hours. However, since it is impossible to gain extra hours or even minutes on any given day, the right way to tackle exhaustion is focusing on the root cause. Scientific studies have clearly shown that fatigue primarily arises from lack of right energy and is a way of the body to demand some rest and boost of energy. Luckily, it is possible to take charge of you...
