Slika
    Toys are a very important part of childhood. The toys children play with help shape their view of the world. They provide entertainment while fulfilling an educational role as well. Toys help children develop physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. Toys stimulate creativity and the development of many skills which are necessary in later life such as problem-solving, working with others, sharing, taking turns, and much more. Apart from that, children may find comfort, strength, and support in toys whenever they have a problem. Play with toys helps children to nurture imagination and it gives them a sense of adventure. Children use toys to entertain themselves while simultaneously exploring the world around them, educating themselves, role-playing, and learning to express their emotions. The choice of toys should be based on their age, interests, and stage of development. And even when there are no toys in sight, children will make them out of whatever they have avail

Time Management

Slika
    There is an old proverb 'Time is Money'. Actually, time is even more worth than money, because money spent can be earned again, but time wasted can never be restored again. So, maybe, there is a better common saying than the previous one and it says 'Time and tide waits for none'. Time just flies away. No one can stop it and it never waits for anyone. Time is precious and priceless for everyone. We should all learn to use our time properly to fulfill some purpose. We should value and respect the importance of time in every single moment of our life. Sometimes it takes just one moment of time to make a difference in your life. For good or for bad.

Video-Conferencing

Slika
    Video-conferencing is a technology that allows online meetings where two or more people engage in a live audio-visual call without having to move to a single location together. Thus, the participants can see, hear, and talk to each other in real-time, no matter where in the world they might be at that particular moment. In that way, video-conferencing simulates a face-to-face meeting between two or more remote parties as they establish this type of 'live' visual connection in a virtual meeting room. Video-conferencing is typically used for business communication and collaboration, both within and outside an organization. But it can also be used in education, organized webinars and conferences, job interviews, connecting with friends and family, for freelancers and self-employed individuals, for small businesses looking to grow without travel costs, etc. To make video-conferencing possible and get the most out of the experience, you need to set up the necessary hardwar

Eco-Friendly Teaching and Learning

Slika
  The school's teaching and learning culture should be shaped in a way that it develops an ethical commitment to environmental conservation in students and exerts a powerful influence on students in regard to ecological sustainability and 'green' practices. Therefore, eco-friendly or 'green' teaching and learning programs about energy, climate change and green economy can engage and empower students to create positive change for our evolving world. Today, we are all uncertain about what the future holds for our planet. Global warming, pollution, industrialization, a shortage of fossil fuels, extinction of many plant and animal species, an increasing global population, etc., are just some of the issues that are likely to affect more seriously and directly the current cohort of school children than it has ever affected the previous generations. Thus, it becomes extremely important that we teach children to live more sustainably and cultivate some eco-friendly habits l
