A constructivist believe that the children are the source of knowledge. It's true and I can attest to that.

For instance, your child wants to learn how to use iPad. You can show the instructions step-by-step. That way, your child can learn gradually the usage of the iPad. It's called scaffolding. It's one of the most effective way to teach a child to learn things that are complicated. Through gradual process, the child can learn from it and later on, the child can do it by itself.

It's one of the most rewarding experience as a teacher since the child improves in the craft that they like. You can't just teach them immediately without instructions. It's hard for them to do it by themselves since they have no knowledge with that thing. You have to show them how to do it. It's actually easy if you yourself knows how to work on that thing.

Little by little, they can get ideas on how to work on it. They can even discover something that you can learn too! You can also learn each other through it. It's important since you share knowledge with that person you're teaching and it can be a fruitful experience.

For example, there are programs that are hard to understand, show them how to do it. As much as possible, explain everything so that they can understand. By demonstrating the procedures, they can learn from it and later on, do it by themselves. It's not hard as long as you show it to them one-by-one. Entertain their questions for them to get the answer they desire to hear. If they say that they can do it all alone, just let them do it alone.


Constructivism after all teaches us to be independent. But for us to experience it, we should know them by those who are better than us so that they can teach us little by little on how to do things that we can do it alone later on. I believe that I am a constructivist since I know that they have the answer to the question and I also teach them the procedures gradually until they can do it by themselves.

Thanks for reading! :D

Behaviorism is a study of a behavior itself. But there are certain things that we have to be careful about when studying behaviorism. What are the things that you have to remember then? Let's find out.

There are things that we have to remember when studying behaviorism. In an article that I've read, there are people who thinks they're a leader. They want to be in control of everything. From the planning, to making decisions, the leaders are responsible to it. Sometimes, they can be too controlling to the point that they can be so dense of someone's feelings.

With that behavior, they know that they're always right and should be always right. It's not bad though since they're the ones to make the final decision. BUT they should also know how to listen to their members since they also have ideas that they can share thus the exchange of ideas happen.

There are also leaders who can act as like team members where they can cooperate with each other. I myself can act as one of them since in my whole life, I'm a good team member and we should remember that to be a good leader must also be a good member.

These are kinds of behaviors that we should study since we can see the difference with it. Dealing with these behaviors require a study on why they behave like that or why they should behave like that. There are reasons like they want to be dominant all the way or the team members can't follow easy instructions. There are also reasons like because their members can share great ideas to the group or just simply imply teamwork for them to do better.

Before judging these kind of leaders, we must know them better and study their behavior. We can simply say that this person is like this and like that, but we don't know the real reason why did they act like that. Study them first before you judge.

In our generation today, we tend to have easier access to books and journals. Some students want to have more time while doing other jobs. We can't deny the fact that we're improving with our technology. We may not know that next year, new technology will be invented and we have to adapt to it.

The new "Kno Me" tool provides a personal study dashboard for students that gives them insights into their study habits and behaviors while using electronic text books.

By this new feature alone, it gives convenience to the students and at the same time, it can do many things at the same time. It's convenient for me since I can do things just in one gadget.

Gradually, digital textbooks will change the habit of the people who are used to textbooks. Though textbooks are still important at this time, gradually, we are slowly adapting digital textbooks. I admit that it brings convenience in reading books that I want to read.

Kno Me has features like you can do many things in less time. It means you can save so much time and later, you may relax or do things that you want to finish. They can create their own journal to organize their studies, and so much more! If I were to have this gadget, this would be so useful since I tend to do things a lot!

By this new innovation, convenience for the students is their main priority thus, it will be easier for the students to handle many things in less time. Education nowadays are much easier to handle IF you know how to use them. It's always fun to learn new gadgets and its uses. It may take time but the reward is priceless.

Welcome to my new blog!

This blog will talk about education and in our class, we're required to create a blog and my new education blog is here! :D

Creating a blog is actually very easy especially with this blogger platform. It tends to be user-friendly as you just have to follow simple instructions.

I can remember the first time I created my own blog when I knew that you can actually make money out of it thus, I created my first blog and I was so excited and positive of what's gonna happen. I started posting about the updates in Davao. Few days after, I got frustrated because there were no comments or whatsoever. So, I stopped blogging.

Just last year, after my friends Chris and Fema convinced me to blog, Again, I can't contain my excitement to blog again but this time, it will not be exclusive to Davao only but I expanded to food, malls and photography and J. Lab's Life in Davao was born. With the help of my friend, we completely revamped the whole blog and it was a success!

Right now, I have 3 active blogs with this one as a neophyte.. :D

Again, welcome to my new blog!
