More and more dads who are concerned to comment me who do not get their kids to concentrate and feel to work. Many children who have difficulty maintaining attention when they propose an activity. Perhaps the problem is that whenever we require them more, or perhaps our own pace as adults also affects them. In any case, or by whatever, the concentration is a problem we must tackle from small, especially if we want, when they are older, finish your tasks and activities effectively.

First, I want to apologize because a few weeks ago that I write on the blog. There have been a few weeks of hard work, But I'm back here, and an article by a topic that fascinates me: technologies in education.
When people ask me for iKidz methodology and tell them about our digital space and use of the Tablet in class, Some believe that our system ignores the role of the teacher, the activities we use can be used by children independently without any guidance, but it's not like that.
In iKidz we believe that technologies offer us endless possibilities, above all, in order to customize the learning process. But the teacher's role in guiding this process is essential if we are to occur truly effective learning.

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.

Took several weeks going around that would be the first item after the holidays. Do not think I found it easy to decide, I have several issues that I would try, but this post is special.
Cole begins and I'm sure most of your kids have no desire to start, but ye are forward 😉 But this does not happen to other children. There are children who are willing to go and cole, Unfortunately, they can not. This is the case of refugee children, affected by conflicts and wars that are in check much of the Middle East.
Many of these children have been forced to leave their country of origin, without really knowing where they will end.
The main problem is that these little ones are in refugee camps temporarily. Places where living conditions are very precarious and where, In most cases, there are no schools.
Luckly, there are initiatives through being created "schools" in which provide a minimum education for these children.
Today I want to talk about three of these initiatives. I hope to inspire your course starts as inspired mine.
Much has been said, and they will continue talking, of gamification and its use in different fields. There are many companies that are applying it to motivate their workers and many educational tools and methods that have emerged in this regard.
For those of you who are not too familiar with the term, gamification or gamification, it is nothing other than him use of game mechanics in non-recreational environments and applications, with the aim of enhancing motivation, concentration, the effort, loyalty and other positive values common to all games. In education, We could say that gamification is the use of a playful activity to learn with the aim of involving students and offering them a different way of learning.
U.S, logically, we care and concern about the use that can be made of gamification in education, therefore, far from positioning myself on whether its use in the educational field seems positive or negative, what he intends today is to give you some tricks on what we must and what we must not do if we want to use gamification effectively.

Sometimes teachers we endeavor to follow the same teaching methodologies always, despite realizing that they are not causing the effect it should and that our students get bored as oysters. The point is, Why do we insist? Do we think our students? Or thinking about us?
On occasion I mentioned in my post Minecraft, a game that caused and continues to cause a stir among the kids and not so little ones. Luckly, many professionals who have seen the educational potential of this game and have developed effective educational programs based on it. In today's post, we will see these programs.
This week I received mail from a reader, who told me that he will submit to the Opposition Childhood Education Teachers Madrid, and he asked me some tips facing the practical course.
