Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:46:35 -0000

For those unfamiliar with the term, a learning style is a way in which an individual approaches learning. Many people understand material much better when it is presented in one format, for example a lab experiment, than when it is presented in another, like an audio presentation. Determining how you best learn and using materials that cater to this style can be a great way to make school and the entire process of acquiring new information easier and much more intuitive. Here are some great tools that you can use to cater to your individual learning style, no matter what that is.

philologus.co.uk Educational Activities, Games, and Resources for Classroom use by Teachers

Fri, 25 Apr 2008 21:08:18 -0000

Philologus is an online resource allowing teachers to create games and activities for use in the classroom. It was born out of the need for new classroom activities to engage pupils, and to use technology in the most effective way possible. Every activity can be customised by the creator to ensure it is completely tailored to their requirements. There are many software packages offering similar activities, but these have not always been designed with ease of use as the primary factor, which is something of a serious oversight from the users' point of view. Philologus focuses on the teacher and the pupil in making the users' experience easy, trouble free, and fun from the outset.
