Use these active teaching tips to boost student interest and retention

Silberman, a professor at Temple University and president of Active Training, which has trained trainers for companies such as Texas Instruments, ARCO Chemical, and Merrill Lynch, describes a participatory approach to training in the book Active Training (Jossey-Bass, 1998). The 320-page book takes trainers from the design phase, through the steps in delivering active training, to the post-training evaluation process.

Catch me if you can

Catch me if you can

ACADEMY Award-winner Steven Spielberg directs Catch Me If You Can -- a stylish and highly entertaining cat-and-mouse caper set in the 1960s.

Inspired by the true-to-life story of Frank Abagnale Jr, who managed to give a new meaning to job-hopping, he works as a doctor, a lawyer and an airline co-pilot -- all before his 21st birthday.

It all started when Abagnale's parents got separated. With only US$25 in his checking account, he sets off for Manhattan to escape the worries of strained home life. He also vows to bring his father and mother back together, and help his debt-ridden father.

انسان پلیست ....

انسان پلی است میان شناخته ها و نا شناخته ها

در جازدن در قلمرو شناخته ها بیخردی است به جستجوی نا شناخته  بار سفر بستن آغاز خردمندی و عقلانیت ست.یکی شدن با نا شناخته بیداری است بودا شدن است.

Man is a bridge between the known and the unknown.

To remain confined in the known is to be a fool.

To go in search of the unknown is the beginning of wisdom.

To become one with the unknown is to become the awakened one , the Buddha.

My Tips

Teachers are responsible for the class management. Maybe the teacher is one day serious the other day is not. it depends on the class position. Students should touch their progress. I think experienced teachers can be more useful and effective. I believe a good teacher doesn’t use the same plan each semester completely. I hope these tips are good for teacher and they can enrich their plan in the class. Hope to receive your suggestions & criticism.

هر بار كه كودكانه دست كسی را گرفتم گم شدم ، آنقدر كه در من هراس گرفتن دستی هست ، ترس از گم شدن نیست

هیچ چیزی جای صداقت را نمی گیرد ، كاش می توانستیم همیشه صادق باشیم.

-نیایش نوای دلهاست كه راه خود را به سوی بارگاه الهی می‌گشاید.

-ایمان، معرفتی است درون دلها، ورای هر گواه و دلیل.

-خداوند اندیشید و نخستین اندیشه اش فرشتگان بودند و خداوند سخن گفت و نخستین واژه اش انسان بود....

-زندگی همواره بیشتر از آنی به ما می بخشد كه انتظارش را داریم.

-به من می گو یند : " اگر برده ای را خفته دیدی بیدارش نكن شاید خواب ازادی را میبیند . " و من به انها میگویم : " اگر برده ای را خفته دیدید بیدارش كنید و ازادی را برایش توصیف كنید. "خلیل جبران

-هنگامیکه در سکوت شب گوش فرا دهی خواهی شنید که کوهها و دریاها و جنگلها با خودکم بینی و هراس خاصی نیایش می کنند.

-احساسی که "دردش" می نامید، لرزه بر پرده رقیقی است که ادراکتان را در بر گرفته ، همچون پرده ای که هسته را در بر گرفته و این پرده را شکافتن باید تا گیاه از ظلمت زمین به روشنای خورشید رسد...

-عشق همانگونه که تاج بر سرت می نهد به صلیبت نیز می کشد.

Sydney Pollack in New York City, 2006

Sydney Pollack also acted in many films, including “Tootsie,�?released in nineteen eighty-two. In the movie, Dustin Hoffman plays an actor, Michael Dorsey. He has trouble getting acting jobs because he is very difficult to work with. He goes to see his agent, George Fields, whose job is to get him acting jobs.  Sydney Pollock plays the agent.

(SOUND)

Fields:"Nobody will hire you."

Dorsey: "Are you saying that nobody in New York will work with me?"

Fields: "No, that's too limiting. Nobody in Hollywood will work with you either. I can't even send you up for a commercial. You played a tomato for thirty seconds and they went half a day over schedule because you wouldn't sit down."

The Preposition

Recognize a preposition when you see one.

Prepositions are the words that indicate location. Usually, prepositions show this location in the physical world. Check out the three examples below:

Arf!

The puppy is on the floor.

Bad 
dog!

The puppy is in the trashcan.

Don't 
chew the cell phone!

The puppy is beside the phone.

On, in, and beside are all prepositions. They are showing where the puppy is. Prepositions can also show location in time. Read the next three examples:

At midnight, Jill craved mashed potatoes with grape jelly.

In the spring, I always vow to plant tomatoes but end up buying them at the supermarket.

During the marathon, Iggy's legs complained with sharp pains shooting up his thighs.

At midnight, in the spring, and during the marathon all show location in time.

Because there are so many possible locations, there are quite a few prepositions. Below is the complete list.
