How to Teach Online With Very Little Experience

- by Myron Bailey

Teaching online is one of the most popular ways to earn extra income. With the right approach, you can start teaching as soon as this week—without any experience whatsoever. Here’s how:

Taking the First Step

Before you sign up for your first class, there are a few things to consider. To teach online, you need:

  • A computer and internet connection (a smartphone or tablet will do)
  • An account with an online teaching platform like Udemy or Skillshare. These platforms are free to join, but they charge a small fee per student enrolled in your courses. This can add up quickly if you have many students–so be sure that teaching is something that appeals to you before committing yourself financially!

If these requirements are met and this sounds like something worth pursuing further, then it’s time to take action by signing up for an online course yourself! This will help familiarize …

How We Can Learn More By Learning Less

- by Myron Bailey

Learning is fun. Learning by doing is even better.

The Brain is Designed for Learning

The brain is designed to learn. It’s built for learning and has a drive to learn. The brain is a learning machine. The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons, each of which can make thousands of connections with other neurons through synapses (the spaces between cells). This gives our brains incredible flexibility and capacity for change over time–but it also means that our mental life is complex and difficult to understand fully at any given moment.

The human mind isn’t just made up of one part: it’s made up of many different systems that work together in ways we’re just beginning to understand. That means when you’re trying something new or trying out something new on your mind–whether it’s meditation or mindfulness practice–you might need some extra support from other parts of yourself before …

Teaching the 21st Century Skills

- by Myron Bailey

The 21st century has the most transformational shift in history. Developing 21st-Century skills will help students and employees be more competitive and successful. The 4Cs framework is a useful tool for explaining, teaching and assessing 21st Century skills. C1: Communication Skills C2: Collaboration Skills C3: Creativity & Innovation Skills C4 : Critical Thinking & Problem Solving Skills

The 21st century has the most transformational shift in history.

The 21st century has the most transformational shift in history.

This is not a small change or an incremental improvement, but rather a massive shift that will affect every aspect of our lives and our society. The changes are so profound that they can only be compared to those made by previous generations that built modern civilization itself: industrialization, urbanization and globalization. It is no exaggeration to say that if we do not prepare our children for this new world order they will …

Why I’m Interested in Serious Games

- by Myron Bailey

I’m fascinated by the potential for serious games. As an avid gamer myself, I’ve always been interested in how games can be used to help people learn and understand. In this blog post, I’ll explore some examples of how serious games have been used in education, military training, healthcare—and even immersive storytelling!

Education

Games can be an effective way to engage students and help them learn. Games can also help teachers teach, by providing a safe place for students to practice what they’ve learned.

In many cases, games are more effective than traditional teaching methods because they provide an engaging environment that encourages critical thinking skills–the kind of skills that allow us to solve problems on our own rather than simply memorizing facts or procedures from someone else’s perspective (e.g., the teacher).

Military training

The military is one of the most obvious use cases for serious games. The Department of …

The Importance of Gamification in Learning

- by Myron Bailey

Gamification is the use of game-like elements in non-gaming environments. In this article, we’ll explore how gamification can be used to improve student engagement and motivation in learning experiences.

Gamification can increase engagement

Gamification can increase engagement by making learning more fun. When you make something educational fun, it’s easier to keep people interested and engaged in what they are doing. In fact, gamification has been shown to be an effective way of teaching children how to read and write as well as helping them retain information better than traditional methods.

Gamification can engage learners by giving them rewards for completing tasks or meeting certain goals within the course material or lesson plan you create with it. For example, if someone completes all of their daily reading assignments without missing any days then they might receive an achievement badge that is displayed on their profile page until another student earns …
