<p><strong>PHP for Beginners</strong></p>
<p>Many people are interested in computer programming but feel threatened when they are faced with the idea of actually learning a language or writing a program. However, PHP is a great language for beginners for a variety of reasons. First, PHP addresses many general programming issues that are used in other, more complex, languages. Second, PHP allows the beginning programmer to understand the logic and syntax of programming languages. Finally, PHP tutorials are available, easy to follow, and fun to learn.</p>
<p><strong>PHP Tutorials</strong></p>
<p>There are several tutorial books available to walk the beginning programmer through the programming process. For example, PHP for Dummies is an excellent explanation and introduction to the language, and the book can easily be found online or in most bookstores. Learning PHP does not require any money, though - there are many free, extensive tutorials on the internet. One website, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20130103033311/http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp">w3schools.com</a>, offers step-by-step tutorials with examples of code that instruct on important functions of PHP and the ways that PHP can interact with web pages and databases to become a powerful tool in design. Tizag.com is another excellent website with tutorials, coding examples, and displays of how the code will output to the user. PHP.net is a website that serves as the hub of the PHP development community, and provides quick references for more experienced programmers while still providing an excellent resources for beginning programmers.</p>
<p><strong>Practical Applications of PHP with ProgrammingHomework.dev</strong></p>
<p>"Learning PHP is a rewarding experience" - say's Jessica Nickel,<span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en" xml:lang="en">lead coder at <a href="https://www.programminghomework.dev" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ProgramminghHomework.dev</a>.</span> PHP allows even beginning programmers to make creative, dynamic websites that give the user a better internet experience. Simple projects include setting up a message that changes on a daily basis at the top of a webpage. Other simple projects include setting up tables with information about products and their costs. The functions of PHP allow for a quick, reusable, and easily changeable code for the beginning programmer.</p>
<p>PHP can also be used as an access point to database applications such as SQL or MySQL, which can be helpful for a variety of functions. More advanced projects might include the development of an interactive website with a database of products and ordering information. Other more advanced uses might include setting up a database for qualitative research.</p>
<p>Learning PHP does not require a steep learning curve, but it does require patience to master the basic syntax of the language. However, once this syntax is learned, the programmer is only limited by her own creativity</p> Top 5 ways to effectively use mobile devices in the classroomtag:www.classroom20.com,2018-06-15:649749:Topic:11729312018-06-15T10:43:47.424Zcarla sullivanhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/carlasullivan

<p><b><i>Description</i></b><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">: An increasing number of institutes are allowing students to carry their mobile devices to the classroom, considering the advantage it has for the students. We have listed five ways in which educators can leverage classroom management software to effectively regulate the use of mobile devices in classrooms.</span></i></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mobile devices have become indispensable for learners and educators alike due to the flexibility and ease of use they provide in every task. By embracing the use of mobile devices within the premises, educational institutes are empowering teachers, administrators, and students to harness technology for better outcomes. Appropriate use of mobile devices not only makes lessons more interesting but also allows students to take notes and access study material more conveniently.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That being said, mobile devices also provide students with easy access to games, social media and other digital distractions. Gaining benefits out of provisions like bring your own device (BYOD) is subject to appropriate use the devices and the measures taken to check and control unintended usage of technology in the classroom. In this context, a <a href="http://www.faronics.com/products/insight" target="_blank" rel="noopener">classroom management software</a> is essential to ensure that mobile devices are used to their full potential and only for the academic objectives in the classroom. Here are the five ways to ensure the same, with maximum efficiency:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><b>Facilitating research</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">:<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">If students have access to all necessary academic information on their mobile devices (tablets and smartphones), then they can be relieved of the need to carry heavy books. They would also not face limitations while researching and gathering information when all relevant books and articles are easily accessible. With necessary and authorized resources on their mobile device, they will be able to utilize their time most efficiently.<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teachers can use</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">to ensure that students’ devices can access all the required and relevant resources, whether websites or databases. For instance, teachers can ensure that students can peruse and download papers and articles from academic archives like JSTOR and Project Muse. Similarly, the institute’s digital library should be made available to ensure that students can access and learn from the widest possible range of academic resources.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br/></span></li>
<li><b>Restricting access to the distracting material:<br/><br/></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">While mobile devices can be a convenient means of accessing information, they can be used to access content that is totally unrelated to education or even possibly harmful for the institute’s network. It could be online games, social media sites, video streaming, and the like. They can also download games and other applications, which can be run offline and are difficult to monitor and control. The end result anyway is a distraction from studies and poor utilization of institute’s provisions.<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Using a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">class control software</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, teachers can easily</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">prevent this by regulating what online and offline resources students can access and what not. They can create a list of approved websites and applications, thereby prohibiting access to the rest. With a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">at their disposal, teachers can control mobile device usage for any activity which is not conducive to learning. This results in optimum utilization of education technology maximum return on investment.<br/><br/></span></li>
<li><b>Monitoring student activity</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">:<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the accessibility restrictions in place, the importance of monitoring students’ activities cannot be undermined. By using a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">class control software,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">teachers can</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">keep track of the on-device activity of each student. Such software display every students’ on-screen activities on the teachers’ workstation in the form thumbnails in real time. If a teacher detects any unseemly activity on part of any student, they can address the situation accordingly.<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to keeping track of student activity,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">also allows teachers to take control of students’ devices or disable their monitors, keyboards and/or mice to check undesired activities. On the other hand, educators can also use the monitoring and remote access features for identifying students who need support and help them navigate through the lesson.<br/><br/></span></li>
<li><b>Building teacher-student connection</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: <br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trust and strong connection between teachers and students is a must for creating a truly productive learning environment.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">plays</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">an integral role in building such rapport between these stakeholders. These software solutions come with various features for simplifying communication between the educator and students, such as one-on-one chat option. Such features are especially helpful for students who might feel hesitant about raising their doubts or putting forward their queries in class in front of their peers. In fact, teachers should rather make the first move if any student seems confused. Doing so breaks the ice for shy students and makes them confident enough to approach teachers in front of the whole class in future. This helps the teacher create bonds of mentorship with far greater ease. It also generates more confidence and trust among students for a teacher who is willing to take the time to understand their learning gaps and give them guidance.<br/><br/></span></li>
<li><b>Making Assessment simple and interesting</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">:<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Assessment is something that students are generally repulsive to, but its significance in determining the learning progress of a pupil cannot be undermined. Doing away with the monotony of assessments is the key to making students rather enthusiastic about evaluating their capabilities on a periodic basis. This is where</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">classroom management software</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is immensely helpful. Using such software, educators can create quizzes, multiple choice questions, essay type questions, or improvise to come up more engaging assessments.<br/><br/></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The assessment mode feature in such tools can put classroom computers in a secure and locked mode for taking exams. By enabling the assessment mode, invigilators can easily control and restrict access to the internet and other unauthorized apps and resources on student devices for the duration of the test.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The five measures detailed above can help teachers make effective use of mobile devices in order to create a healthy and productive classroom environment. They help to capture students’ interest, guide them in alignment with their particular learning styles and determine their progress. Ensuring effective use of mobile devices in the classroom can help in realizing the academic initiatives that were envisioned as the end result of fortifying classroom with technological advancements.</span></p> BUY 100% UNDETECTABLE COUNTERFEIT MONEY.BILLS BYPASS PEN TEST.CAN BE USED IN ATMs,SHOPS (jadugspaker@gmail.com)tag:www.classroom20.com,2017-06-28:649749:Topic:11496782017-06-28T07:32:59.719Zjadugshttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/jadugs

<p>Many of you have probably heard about teaching abroad from friends, family, or social media sites like Facebook. So today I wanted to give you an introduction about teaching in the Middle East.</p>
<p>The Middle East has a variety of international schools, and teachers wishing to teach abroad in the international school in this vibrant region might be overwhelmed with the selection available. Local International British and American schools which serve local children using an expatriate curriculum make up more than half of the international schools in this region. Because English is widely spoken and the quality of state schools varies considerably from region to region, many affluent parents choose to place their children in English speaking British and American international schools from an early age. The breadth of the curricula and extra-curricular opportunities, and the facilities available to pupils varies from school to school.</p>
<p>Teaching in the Middle East offers teachers lots of opportunities to travel in the region, lounge on fabulous beaches, and shop in local souks (open air markets).</p>
<p>Contracts for teaching jobs are typically 2 years long, with the exception of some schools in Kuwait and Oman which offer 1 year contracts. Contracts almost always include return flights, housing either rented for you or heavily subsidized and some form of local medical coverage.</p>
