This month's blog is
Virtual to In-Person Teaching for Primary Children
.
Many parents start to teach children very early. They use many online
classes or gadgets to make learning more interesting for kids. It is
not possible to teach everything remotely. That is why it is vital to
know how to effectively move from virtual learning back to in-person
teaching.
Lately, after students and employees got used to the new virtual
lifestyle, another challenge happened - back to the workplace and back
to school. It may not be as easy as everyone expected.
Guest Blogger Oscar Mitchall is a professional author at the research
paper help service. He is always ready to provide students with
interesting, high-quality, and inspiring essay writing on any topic.

The App of the Month for August is Play and Learn Science By PBS KIDS ( iOS / Android ).
The Play and Learn Science app contains a suite of educational kids
games from PBS KIDS designed to encourage early science learning.
Kids can play a range of games that help them learn core scientific
concepts, all while building and developing problem-solving skills.
As kids play, adults have access to co-learning prompts that offer
ways to create “teachable moments” that help kids see how science is
part of the world around them. It's easy to teach science through play
and real-world experiences.
The Play and Learn Science app offers a variety of tips and strategies
that help adults nurture a child’s scientific thinking. Hands-on
activities for every game help bring the experiences in the app into
the real world. This learning app encourages education outside of the
app with co-learning activities for children and parents. Make
learning science fun with Play and Learn Science today.
