This week I decided to write about Asperger or Asperger Syndrome. As you know I am not a psychologist, but I have encountered several cases throughout my career, one of them currently. For this reason, I consider it essential to be well informed, above all, what it is and how we can help our children or students to have a development, both personal and professional, appropriate depending on your needs.

Mindfulness for children.
A few weeks ago a friend wrote me after reading the infographic I made with 15 tricks to improve care, commenting that, from their point of view and something he would have added relaxation or mindfulness practice when you get home, or begin classes.
As he told me, It is true that when the kids arrive from school, usually they do very fast, we as adults once they feel intend to do homework, but maybe, before, We should leave a few minutes to relax, down the pace and, then, get to work.
It is important to know that I am not an expert in Mindfulness. This article is a compilation of activities and resources, from my point of view, I think they may find useful.

How to avoid test anxiety.
If you have a small in 3rd grade, surely you know that these days are carrying out external evaluation tests that were established with the LOMCE, to assess the skills of students, both 3rd and 6th.
I have many kids in 3rd, and these last few days have been particularly nervous with these tests.
But it seems that is not a timely issue, but rather something widespread, increasingly common and, I must say, that has me quite worried.
How could a boy or girl 8 Malito years put almost every time you have an exam? Is not it possible that we are pressuring them too with notes? With the "importance" of being the best?

10 Topics for writing your students.
As English teacher, one of the main problems I sometimes encounter, It is the lack of ideas or resources in class.
As you know, in iKidz We do not use books, and we generate materials according to the needs of our students. That makes the head is constantly working, generating materials, new ways of teaching, to motivate and capture the attention of our kids. But, obviously, often just ideas, and sure as profe, You will pass you need inspiration for certain aspects of your class.
This happens to me when my students ask for their writing topics. Therefore, I decided to investigate a little and make a list of issues that I think they are coming great. Most of these issues I have taken a series of articles that The New York Times, periodically publishes, encouraging teens to write on your page.

A different way to teach STEM.
If you are profe, surely you will sound the term STEM, or rather, abbreviations. STEM is an acronym for the English terms Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

It related to this concept was developed a new way of teaching, together, Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology. This form of education was called "Education STEM".

Especially, because we talk about a fairly routine task that does not require specific pedagogical skills.
