T.V. and TV, you might consider doing some online classes with LA T.V. tutors.LA tutors offer a variety of services that can be used for personal or professional reasons. For example, one might want to use the services of a tutor to help them learn how to use the camera equipment that they own. Another good reason to get help with the different tools and equipment is that they have done their homework on what is used to make a great, beautiful, well-crafted piece of equipment. These types of tutors know the best tools to use and which ones are just excess baggage, whereas they will focus more on the right tools.There are plenty of ways in which a person can start looking for tutors through LA tutors, since there are literally thousands of LA T.V. classes available on the Internet.

As long as the student is good enough to learn a subject then they can sign up for that course. However, they should make sure that the course is worth attending. It should be as a complement to what they are learning at the school.No matter what the subject, LA tutoring provides quality classroom education that can benefit any student.

7 great ideas for outdoor learning

7 great ideas for outdoor learning All children can benefit greatly from spending time in the natural environment. Any learning that is done outdoors will support the development of healthy and active lifestyles whilst offering children the opportunity to express themselves freely and improve their physical state. Outdoor learning offers children the chance to have hands-on contact with the natural world whilst also having direct contact with the different kinds of weather. Learning outside will nurture a child's creativity and develop their imaginations as well as enhancing their personal and social skills, enhancing their mental and physical health and increasing their overall awareness. Here at First Tutors, we have come up with 7 great ideas for outdoor learning to inspire both you and your child and enjoy some quality time together: 1. Visit a zoo As a parent one of my favourite things is our family days out to a zoo with my children. Watching the amazement in their eyes as they encounter different animals and point things out is truly inspiring. There are countless benefits of taking children to a zoo aside from the obvious family bonding time. Children will enhance their language development by learning new words and concepts as well as become aware of the environment and environmental issues. They will also benefit from the physical exercise as zoos normally need a few good hours of walking about. Many zoos also offer hands-on experiences such as feeding a particular animal and there are also usually educational talks which will boost your child's curiosity and increase their knowledge. 2. Explore nature in the forest or garden Exploring nature is a fun and educational way to spend some time with your child. Whether it be in your back garden, a local park or in a nearby forest children can spend the time searching for different kinds of plants and shrubs or examining the different kinds of bugs they find along the way. Setting challenges such as how many different kinds of bugs they can find and talking about them, or how many butterflies they can catch in a net (making sure of course they are careful and always let the butterfly fly free). You can then get them to look up some interesting facts about the things they saw when they get home or make a dried flower book as a fun learning activity. 3. Chalk or sand art We all know the huge benefits children can reap from creating their own art. Aside from relieving stress it encourages creative thinking, boosts self-esteem and provides them with a sense of self-achievement. Simply taking some chalk and encouraging your child to draw on different surfaces outdoors or taking different instruments to the beach and watching them design different pictures in the sand are great ways of encouraging you child to express themselves through art. Taking photographs of their finished masterpieces and keeping a scrapbook is a great idea and will also keep your child stimulated, building their confidence as their skills improve. 4. Magnifying the natural world Allowing children to see the world through a magnifying glass can change the way they see things. Magnifying glasses are available for all ages and there are plenty of things to look at in a garden, on a beach or in a park. Whether it be examining the lines or fine hairs on leaves, the intricate flower parts or the detail of a bugs body, your child will have plenty to talk about, increasing their imagination and vocabulary. You could also have them try to catch different insects and place them in a container so that they can examine them more closely. There are many different kinds of bugs and insects in any garden and I'm sure your child will have plenty of fun both trying to find and catch them and then examine them. 5. Gardening Children can learn a great deal from growing things. Gardening is a fun, healthy activity for children that will see them develop new skills whilst learning about nature and science. Gardening has a large variety of different tasks that children can take on, from planting seeds to watering and weeding. Encourage your child to choose something they would like to plant and to make sure they keep track of it's progress and look after it. Keeping a diary of the progress their plant makes on a daily or weekly basis will see your child grow alongside their plant, developing their skills and enhancing their knowledge. They will learn to be responsible for the caring of their plants whilst learning to understand about cause and effect. 6. Den building Building a den with your child is a fantastic way for encouraging their imagination and creating their own space. Den building is a challenging and fun way of building children's physical and mental skills. A child's den is great for sharing with their friends or siblings and enhances their imaginations as they act out stories or fairy tales. Building a den in your garden using as many natural resources such as twigs, branches and rocks also enhances your child's interaction and understanding of the natural world. 7. Weather walks In the UK we are lucky enough to experience all of the different seasons at various times of the year. Whether it be rain, snow, sleet, sunshine, wind or just plain old cloudiness, the English weather is definitely unpredictable. A great idea for outdoor learning with your child is to explore the different weather and seasons. On a rainy day, put your wellies on and a mac and go for a walk in the forest, on the beach or through the high-street. Then on a sunny, windy or cloudy day do the same and ask your child to note differences they find in the different places you have visited. Visit windmills or look for the different bugs that come out on the different days. Encourage your child to take photographs and keep a diary of all the things they notice when out on the walks. Weather walking will encourage your child to collect evidence by making observations and improve their investigative skills. They will also learn to communicate their findings and build their confidence. To conclude Outdoor learning has a world of benefits including decreasing stress levels, increasing motivation and creativity, developing knowledge, long-term memory building, building social and communication skills and of course family bonding. With so many different activities for children to experience outdoors try to incorporate some learning at every available opportunity.

How to Enhance your Childs Memory - ALOHA Mind Math

How to Enhance your Childs Memory Have you ever met someone who has a photographic memory? They may have similarities to Dustin Hoffman’s character Raymond Babbit in the movie “Rain Man”, who remembers every detail in his life and remembers statistics. Much of school is progressing upon previously learned concepts, skills, and memorization. In elementary school they learn the alphabet, counting, numerals, handwriting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, just to start. Perhaps as adults we do not appreciate our memory until we cannot remember something. Imagine your children remembering concepts and techniques with ease. In junior high school they are able to express themselves and perform well on tests, including essay tests. The key is expanding upon that knowledge and drawing upon it without thinking. These are some of our objectives at ALOHA. “I think some parents try to get their kids to memorize their work by repetitively doing the same work. We are not sure how much it helps memory in general, but at least they have the problems and answers memorized,” said Shweta of ALOHA Mind Math in Mason, Ohio. What can parents do? Parents can improve their childs memory by playing games, like the Memory card games, Concentration, Pass the Secret, or Solitaire. “There are many games we play in class during break time, where we show kids some random pictures and hide them, or arrange in a particular order. Later we take another break and we ask the kids either the order of those pictures or ask them to find the pictures. We ask our parents to do that same game at home,” stated Shweta. Between fourth and sixth grade the amount of new knowledge and homework requirements compound each year, equally increasing expectations on a child’s learning. Reading researcher Michael Pressley suggests that after your child reads a textbook chapter to think about, search, and then write down the main idea. The next step is to write the corresponding facts or ideas. If there is a time span, or many details, it can be helpful to create a timetable, or diagrams charting the supporting subordinate ideas or Remembering lists can be a challenge. One memory technique is to create an acronym. To memorize the colors of the rainbow we were taught ROYGBIV, which stands for R = red, O = orange, Y = yellow, G =green, B = blue, I = Indigo, V = violet. At ALOHA we strengthen the mind and memory. The brain is divided into a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere, performing different activities on each side. Our method and curriculum improves overall brain development. We enhance their ability to visualize, focus, calculate without a calculator, increase their analytical skills and thought processes, resulting in advanced overall academic performance, translating to better grades, happier child, and family. How do you challenge your child’s memory? To locate the nearest ALOHA Mind Math center near you visit www.alohamindmath.com/locations.

Thanksgiving Day 2015

Thanksgiving Day 2015 Thanksgiving Day, one of my favorite holidays, is almost here! We all know this day is the perfect time to give thanks to the Lord for what we have: family, freedom, health and material blessings. But, Thanksgiving is also an excellent opportunity to express our deepest gratitude to all those people who stand by us  through  both our joys and sufferings  for all their support, love, guidance and more. Another good news is we have a four-day weekend coming up! So, forget about work, visit your family and friends, enjoy  watching the Macy’s parade, sharing a wonderful meal, and watching movies. This year, in order to get in the Thanksgiving spirit,  Ive decorated the kitchen with colorful food items and adorned the walls with imprints of leaves, and flowers. Also, I thought it was a good idea to hollow out pumpkins and use them as candle holders.  Furthermore,  Ive learned  some Thanksgiving prayers, made  a playlist of music, and read some funny  jokes, like: Knock, knock. Who’s there? Harry. Harry who? Harry up, Im hungry! Ive even bought a  book about Thanksgiving Day in America. I think its very interesting. Thanksgiving has a rich history, and in many ways, it is the history of America. If you would like to really  learn more about it, read our article Thanksgiving Day â€" Are You Ready For an Annual Food Coma?  or ask one  of our history tutors! And the most important: this year I am going  to cook my very first  turkey. I want  to try the oven bag method, and  Id really appreciate it if you could give me  some  advice  ?? I hope this Thanksgiving will be a special day for all of our  tutors and students! Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Under-attack Instagram gets class action lawsuit for Christmas

Under-attack Instagram gets class action lawsuit for Christmas Image courtesy of Asbury Asbury The story so far: on December 17, Instagram announced a change to its Terms of Service (TOS), to take effect on the 16th of January, in which the company would reserve the right to use customers’ photos with self-awarded impunity. In other words, Instagram would be able to distribute users’ content to anyoneâ€"think iStockPhoto, sans permission or compensation of image creators. The news inspired such a negative reaction that Systrom recanted the announcement within hours, insisting that “Instagram has no intention of selling your photos, and we never did.” A December 19 revision of the impending TOS is available on Instagram’s blog. Damage control has been meager at best. Rival companies point out that they never even hinted at appropriating user photos. And then, of course, there’s the lawsuit. Funes’s legal complaint is available for reading on scribd.com. Filed December 21, it condemns both the original and final versions of the new TOS and states that users “agree that a business or other entity may pay [Instagram] to display [user’s] username, likeness, photos…and/or actions…without any compensation to [the user].” This clause was removed in the update, but Funes is unappeased. Why? A few reasons, actually. Although users who disagree with the finalized TOS may “opt out” by deleting their accounts prior to the January 19 effect date, their “materials and data may persist and appear within the Service,” particularly if others have shared them. Additionally, Instagram absolves itself of blame for “damages, losses, or injuries that arise out of Instagram’s acts,” and that a user forfeits “rights to enjoin or restrain” the company. Should a conflict arise, as of the 19th, neither company nor user will be able to file a class-action lawsuit. Finally, by accepting the new terms, users concede that they “may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected”. Essentially, the plaintiff argues that Instagram is trying to create a loophole through which it can gain control of users’ photos, while protecting said loophole with language that reduces complaints to tiffs that must be settled individually, so as not to threaten the companys reputation. What does this mean? I’ve tried my best to translate the legalese: 1. Technically, Instagram users own their photos, but if an account is deleted, Instagram has license to its content. Think of the agreements you click through when installing software: as a licensee, you have fairly extensive use of program content. If a friend has sent around a picture of you shotgunning beer in a banana suit, the situation is out of your hands, even if you delete your account. 2. After the new TOS take effect, Instagram can add policies and practices that users don’t agree withâ€"but, since the company renounced responsibility for complaints “at this time unknown”, the plaintiff won’t have much to stand onâ€"and if they do, they won’t be able to team up with like-minded citizens in a class-action suit. To be fair, neither can Instagram. Then again, when Mark Zuckerberg owns your company, you don’t necessarily need to take class action in the first place. Hmm. Theres a delicate balance between running a savvy, self-protecting business and misleading consumers. Either way, you might want to keep the banana suit pics to yourself for now.
