<p>Any fellow teachers that started to teach from home? Was it hard to switch to online courses?</p>
<p></p>
<p>The never-ending debate of is tech good or bad for education I think should be solved by now. If it wasn't for the technological advances we wouldn't be able to continue teaching.

<p style="text-align: center;">Meaning of Phrases</p>
<p>Phrases can be characterized as a specific group of words, which perform the function of a part of speech. However, they cannot be used separately as a sentence, as they have neither subject, not a predicate. Nevertheless, the combination of words in a phrase can function as a single part of speech. For example, phrases can represent a noun, adjective, adverb, etc.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The following combinations of words can be characterized as phrases:</p>
<p>On the table;<br/>Above the ground;<br/>Under the chair.<br/>As it was mentioned above, these phrases carry some meaning but cannot serve as a separate sentence. They can form a complete sentence only in combination with other parts of speech. For example:<br/>The vase is on the table.<br/>The cat is under the chair.<br/>The ball flew above the ground.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Properties of Phrases</p>
<p>The properties of phrases include the following:</p>
<p>Phrases are formed by a combination of words.<br/>Finite verbs are never parts of the phrases;<br/>Phrases may include non-finite verbs (gerunds, infinitive, etc).<br/>Separately used phrases are deprived of meaning.<br/>In order to form a grammatically correct sentence, the phrases should be used with other parts of speech.</p> Toppertag:www.educationbeyondborders.org,2017-03-31:2213732:Topic:732842017-03-31T17:55:55.433ZMirjan Krstovichttp://www.educationbeyondborders.org/profile/MirjanKrstovic

I do not ever want my classroom routine to be predictable. I believe that if different methods are used students get engaged more effectively. So, I am always looking for new presentation ideas and new classroom tools. Needless to say, great was my excitement when I discovered “mysimpleshow”. It is an online tool that allows you to create short explainer videos for classroom use. (Or for any use, really - you can even create invitations by creating an invitation video with this tool!) You simply sign up at <a href="http://www.mysimpleshow.com/"><font color="#0000FF">www.mysimpleshow.com</font></a> and the tool guides you through the video making process. You can also look at a few examples of simpleshow videos on youtube - I have already used some of these simpleshow videos, as well as created my own. Very useful indeed! If anyone can recommend other great presentation tools, please join this discussion. New ideas are always welcome!</span></p> STUDENTS AND THEIR PRIORITIEStag:www.educationbeyondborders.org,2016-05-31:2213732:Topic:709952016-05-31T18:36:14.527ZMirjan Krstovichttp://www.educationbeyondborders.org/profile/MirjanKrstovic
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>In urban slum part of Lagos, Nigeria, almost all teachers have the same problem which is the problem of retention in the students. Teach they anything today, they cannot reproduce it tomorrow on demand no matter how simple it is. However, ask the same set of students to reproduce the two sides of the latest album of any pop artiste, they will do it better than you expect.

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>In urban slum part of Lagos, Nigeria, almost all teachers have the same problem which is the problem of retention in the students. Teach they anything today, they cannot reproduce it tomorrow on demand no matter how simple it is. However, ask the same set of students to reproduce the two sides of the latest album of any pop artiste, they will do it better than you expect. This is seriously affecting teaching and learning in schools. Teachers feel bad when such students fail examinations but take trophies and cash awards in songs and choreographic displays. </p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Inspired by the book</span> <span>If You Lived Here: Houses of the World</span><span>, this project engages students in a global dialogue about their learning communities. Students begin with four weeks of international sharing, and then each participating school creates pages for an eBook that we write and publish together. All you need is a single iPad to participate! Our first year of the project was very successful, and we’re now preparing for year 2. It would be a wonderful experience for you and your students, and we hope you’ll consider joining us.</span></p>

<p>In this week’s episode, Dave talks to Noble Kelly about just this subject. Noble is the founder of <a href="http://www.educationbeyondborders.org/" target="_blank">Education Beyond Borders</a>, an organization that is “devoted to closing the global education divide through teacher professional development and community education.” Noble talks about the work of the organization in South Africa as well as other initiatives they are taking on. Most importantly, how they are helping to meet one of the United Nations <a href="http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/" target="_blank">Millenium Development Goals</a> to achieve universal primary education around the world.</p>
