    All Ages Video games and art.

    I can definitely see art in video games as well as anime, cartoons and animated movies. With video games, I personally take a step back and admire the graphics whenever I can. I think with games like Call of Duty or GTA or even Final Fantasy, it takes a lot of time and dedication to make the...

    English Great free language learning app

    Aw, unfortunately Duolingo has not yet finished the course for Korean yet. I'm using other apps to learn Korean right now. I do think Duolingo is one of the best apps out there for learning about languages. It offers courses for a lot of languages and mind you, it takes them some time to develop...

    English Favorite Language To Learn

    Well, I've only mastered two languages, my country's language and English. I am learning Korean now but I'm still a long way before I can master it. I would definitely say it is fun and enjoyable. I started just by watching Korean series and movies, from there, I learned a few words and phrases...

    Dislexic geniuses

    I think dyslexic people develop excellent visual skills despite their poor recognition of letters and words. Visual thinking is a not the normal way a person views the world and that is why I think most dyslexic people become geniuses. They are able to merge and intermingle knowledge in space...

    Ages 11-16+ [Secondary] Hit Training Workouts

    I have heard of HIIT which is High Intensity Interval Training. I've even done a few of these HIITs just by following YouTube videos. And many people swear by it, they think it can result to weight loss in more ways than that of other workouts. As for integrating it into school PE, why not? I...

    Ages 4-11 [Primary] Health Education In the Schools

    In our country, Grades 1-10 will have a separate subject for Health Education. While high school students will have a combined Physical Education and Health Education subject. I think during high school, students need a more comprehensive Health Education class just because they're more prone to...

    All Ages Do You Believe That PE Is Necessary For Schools?

    I think PE is still an important part of any school's curriculum. I may not be the most athletic or sportiest person out there, but I understand that schools want our learning to be holistic. It needs to be as a whole and without PE, we just cannot learn holistically. We cannot grow as a person...

    All Ages What is the perfect time for PE classes?

    I think the perfect time for PE is either in the early morning or in the late afternoon. The sun isn't harsh during those times and the students can enjoy playing. But if I have to choose one, I'd pick the late afternoon as well wherein all my classes are done. It's hard to have to change my...

    All Ages What sports do you enjoy the most?

    Swimming would probably my favourite sport. Although I'm not an expert in it, it's such a fun and enjoyable sport. You don't have to be a pro to enjoy it and it's not hard to learn unlike other sports. I also enjoy playing badminton. It's such an easy sport to learn as well. But you get a...

    Ages 3-5 [Early Years] Playing outside: does anyone really do it anymore?

    I always try to bring my son outside at least once a day. I let him run, pick up the leaves, play with other kids or just enjoy the scenery. He's just about to turn two years old so I have to accompany him still. He plays with gadgets, yes, but it's on a limited time basis. If it were up to me...

    All Ages What PE subject did you hate in college?

    I hated volleyball ever since I was in high school. I didn't have the skills for it nor was I taught how to really play it. No, our teacher never really taught us how to play it. There are some students who excel in it maybe because they already play it. But for a few of us, we dreaded...

    All Ages Taking PE out of schools

    Here in my country, PE is still a requirement from elementary, to high school and up to college. In elementary, PE is taken in all levels, this goes the same for high school as well. In college, students have to take PE for two years, so that's four semesters. There really isn't any talks about...

    Ways to Discover New Books

    I utilise all your ways there to find new books. I love going to the book store and finding the new releases or the top ten most popular books. I love dystopian genre so that's what I'm mostly looking for. I would add in that I find new books to read in secondhand book stores. Yeah, the books...

    Earning Through Writing

    I have written for one content mill site. The job is not as rewarding as I thought it would be. I spend at least three hours on one project and I'd mostly get rejected. And that's even if I put my best effort in the article. So in my mind, content mill sites should be a last resort. I have a...

    Article Writers....You here?

    I am also a member of iWriter. Like what you said, the rejection rate is far too depressing. I would write an article for three hours or more only for it to get rejected in the end. And it's not like I'm a lousy writer, I research, put resources in, proofread and follow the requirements! But...

    Actual or Online Books?

    My preference would always be actual books. I like flipping through the pages, touching the paper and inhaling that new book smell. Nothing beats the experience of reading when it's reading an actual paper book. There's just something about it that can never be replaced by ebooks! But of...

    Encouraged To be Published?

    My high school English teacher picked me as a representative for the yearly essay writing contest for schools one time. I was quite happy that I was chosen but also a bit nervous about it since I was not experienced at it. I did not really win the contest but I placed 4th out of 10 participants...
