How Classrooms Have Evolved Over the Last 50 Years

Over the last 50 years there have been dramatic technological advances that have helped to shape a society that is fundamentally different from that of the 1950's and 1960's. One place where this is particularly apparent is in the classroom where both the room itself and the teaching techniques used therein are considerably different from those of just a few decades ago.

I'm sure the classic depiction of a classroom is familiar to almost everyone; wooden flip-top desks with attached seats; the units all separate from one another and facing towards the blackboard at the front of the class, where lectures are typically taught in a direct lecture-style fashion.

Over the years classrooms changed and evolved, individual desk/seating units were replaced with separate desks and chairs that could be positioned in groups, making it more straightforward to encourage interaction and group work between the students. At this time the lesson structure also changed; lessons were based less upon direct lecturing and a greater emphasis was placed on maintaining interest and enthusiasm amongst the students. This was achieved through increased interaction between the students and more practical tasks and activities. To aid this development items like easels and art supplies crept into classrooms, and areas devoted to activities such as reading, music or crafts were separated using room dividers.

Nowadays classrooms have advanced much further to take advantage of the most recent technological developments. The widespread adoption of the Internet has fundamentally changed the way that people live their lives nowadays and many classrooms are taking advantage of it to improve the way lessons are taught. Modern classrooms are almost incomparable from those of the 50's; banks of computers line the walls and traditional blackboards are replaced with projectors hooked up to laptop computers allowing lessons to be interspersed with video and audio clips, all of which help teachers to keep lessons fresh and interesting resulting in students that are more likely to remain alert and engaged with the class.

In some classes technology has also changed the way students submit work. With the huge societal uptake of web 2.0 properties (such as social networking websites, blogs and forums) many teachers have opted to utilise them in the classroom; essays and short stories are posted on blogs rather than submitted on paper and class interaction is encouraged via class forums.

Ask Kids GOOD Questions

What's the secret to talking with teenagers?

Start talking when they are children.

Talking and listening to kids from a young age establishes the processes for both you and your child that are really useful when they become teenagers.

Like everything else talking to kids can be done a) poorly, b) moderately or, c) really well. Talking develops your relationship with them, their relationships skills, their self-esteem and, if done really well, their own self-knowledge.

If you talk really well to them they become encouraged to talk to you. Talking is a skill, like any other, that takes practice.

Kids differ in their propensity to talk. Some are conversational clams who hold everything, including their feelings, close to your chest. Others just love to bend your ear in a one-on-one situation for a time. Know your kids and choose your time to talk are key principles here.

One feature of effective talking is the ability to ask questions. GOOD questions will open up communication. The right question at the right time can illicit a positive response that leaves both you and your child satisfied, and more importantly wanting to talk more.

Here are five GOOD questions to ask your kids:

1. Ask specific, not general questions: Rather than asking a child, "How was school today?"(general question) which gives kids little choice try asking specific questions such as, "What was something new you did today?" or "Where are you at with that new art project you began last week?" Specific questions indicate real interest and in fact are, real questions.

2. Ask for a solution: If a child tells you to stop nagging about cleaning up their bedrooms ask them for their solution- e.g. "Okay, so how would you go about keeping it clean?" This opens the door for negotiation and places responsibility on children to be involved in the solution.

3. Ask specific questions to get information: If a child is upset by something that happened at pre school, school or even the next room there are times when you just have to get more information. "Can you tell me what happened?" "What was it that upset you?" Sometimes being listened to is all kids need.

4. Consult with your child: Ask questions that tap into and broaden your child's self-knowledge. "When do you feel you can work your best to do your homework?" Kids know from the cradle what they need so let's tap into that knowledge.

5. Ask what they would like to change: If a child complains about something specific, such as their sibling's behaviour or school, ask them what they would like to change. "If you could change one thing about school what would it be?" This can often open up a range of conversational options.

There is no script or easy to remember set of rules to follow when talking with kids.
However, these questions are easy-to-use tools that you can use when you and your child need to gain a better understanding of each other, or just an exploration of better behavioural options.

Effects of Working Moms on Child Development - What You Need to Know

Are you a working mom? If you are, I would bet that at one point or another you have wondered what the effects of working moms on child development are. In fact, I am sure you are wondering now because you are here. It would take a novel to write about all the findings over the last few years, so I will just touch on a few.

3 Researched Effects of Working Moms on Child Development

1. Independence: Working moms have been found to promote more independence in their children. A working mom is not able to solve every problem or issue due to their absence, so their children tend to become more autonomous and better problem solvers. Encouraging this independence has been found to have a more negative impact on boys than girls. For boys, this independence tends to increase the influence of their peer groups. In girls it has a more positive effect because traditionally girls are given less encouragement to be independent.

2. Time Spent: It is also found that working moms spend less time with their preschoolers than non-working moms. Conversely, research has also found that the quality of time spent can sometimes be higher with working moms since they feel they need to compensate for the missed hours during the day, even though the activities chosen by working moms for their children were found to be less educational.

3. Daycare Effects: Children attending daycare or alternate child care are found to be less compliant and more assertive with their playmates. Now, this is not always a negative aspect, although it can easily become one if not kept under watch. The daycare environment is also found to have a major effect on your child's outcome, but in the long term is not as important as the home environment. It is also proven that although daycare can have a large, positive impact on your child's cognitive and social development, one on one discipline and instruction at home is far more important.

Now, I am not saying that daycare is unsatisfactory for our children. If you do your research and have your children in a good facility with great providers than they can, and often do thrive. The implication here is that the teaching, direction, discipline and love that they receive directly at home from you is far more beneficial to them in the long run than what they receive any where else. No one can love your children like you do!

What To Do If You Want To Be Home With Your Children

Something else that I feel is important to note is this; it has also been found that working mothers have a higher level of satisfaction and moral overall than non-working mothers. Maybe you are considering staying home with your children but are afraid of losing your sense of independence. If you want to be home with your children but also maintain your sense of self, you should consider working from home. There are many jobs out there that have flexibility for moms and that can make you a decent income. Of course, you should research any opportunity first because scams do exist, but there are legitimate options for home businesses that allow you to be home with your children and continue to contribute financially. These options have worked for many moms, why not you?
