Online Learning
Online learning is a general term used to refer to learning experiences that are delivered via a computer network to learners in different physical locations. Online learning is also known as e-Learning, although that is somewhat of an ambiguous term since just about all learning has some level of "e" in it. In addition, we use technology to enhance our work and we don't call it "e-work".

Vanessa Keenan, Early Years 2 Teacher and Grade Level Leader, A Taaleem School, UAE In this article you will learn how to use the Responsive Classroom practice of morning meetings in the primary years programme class.

Happiness report: Finland is world's 'happiest country' - UN
Image copyright Reuters This year's happiest place on Earth is Finland, according to an annual UN report - toppling Norway from the top spot. The World Happiness Report measures "subjective well-being" - how happy people feel they are, and why. Nordic countries regularly appear in the top five, while war-hit countries and a number in sub-Saharan Africa regularly appear in the bottom five. Burundi was the least happy, taking over from the Central African Republic. It was thrown into crisis when President Pierre Nkurunziza's bid for re-election to a third term in 2015 sparked protests by opposition supporters who said the move was unconstitutional.

Sam’s attitude impressed me – those with a genuine desire to learn go places quickly.

You are where you live: health, wealth and the built environment
Socioeconomic disadvantage and its impact on where we live and work (and how we get between the two), has enormous implications for health and well-being. But the picture is not as clear cut as many people assume. The built environment’s influence on health starts in the home – the place fulfilling a raft of basic physical, social and emotional needs. People with reasonable, reliable incomes are in a better position to afford well-designed and constructed accommodation that meets these requirements. But those struggling financially will find the high cost of housing a significant burden, typically resulting in basic health needs going unmet, as well as generating anxiety, stress and depression.
