All of these things would disturb/frighten/torture most species. Very misguided article, please do not do any of these things at any zoo you may visit.

]]> Comment on Should emotions be taught in schools? by Mr Newman https://blog.ed.ted.com/2017/02/24/should-emotions-be-taught-in-schools/#comment-949504 Mr Newman Tue, 21 Nov 2017 23:42:57 +0000 http://blog.ed.ted.com/?p=8959#comment-949504 As both a Reception Class Teacher (4-5 years) and Early Years Foundation Stage leader, I can confirm we do teach emotional literacy to varying degrees. The British EYFS curriculum covers ‘Health and self-care’, ‘managing feelings and behaviour and ‘making relationships’, all of which attempt to cover the broader idea of emotional literacy. The real issue is the lack of training amongst practitioners in my opinion. Having many staff who have varying levels of contact with children throughout the day, who have had no support or training regarding the emotional wellbeing of a child can limit any impact. Similarly parents who may feel less confident guiding their children through the maze of identification, ownership and managing emotions. More investment is required to allow skilled practitioners to support those who can work in a coordinated effort to support children holistically.

]]> Comment on 25 awesome apps for teachers, recommended by teachers by Michael Finkelstein https://blog.ed.ted.com/2015/09/19/25-awesome-apps-for-teachers-recommended-by-teachers/#comment-949491 Michael Finkelstein Tue, 21 Nov 2017 16:20:49 +0000 http://blog.ed.ted.com/?p=6297#comment-949491 Hi Laura,
Thanks for the great app’s recommendations. I’ve tried some of them in my class, mostly I liked Duolingo, my students are simply crazy about this app! Learning languages was so boring for them before, but now it’s full of fun and joy! From myself, I would like to recommend a wonderful app – Unicheck plagiarism checker https://unicheck.com/. Since children already in middle school begin to steal ideas and whole texts from the Internet. And this app always helps me to overcome this. I also like an app Actively Learn – it teaches to read texts with understanding, which is very important!

Cheers
