Language development of children
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010What is the difference between the two children and monolingual when it comes to language learning? Both groups of children through the same stages of development. These phases or milestones at the age of your child, but remember that all children are individuals and develop at their own pace. In the early stages of language, bilingual and monolingual children to develop the same, differences appear between the ages of three and four. Both groups of children are six stages of language acquisition: If your child from 0-3 months they will be able to respond to your voice. Noises will scare them. As parents, you can distinguish between the different wines, if your child, depending on the situation. The most important steps that happened in six months if the words “mama” and “Baba” will appear. The murmur of sounds they are starting to look like real words. If your child continues to develop its own language 12 to 14 months, a period very interesting. It is constantly repeated sounds heard in conversations. In three minutes, four years ago, is the phase in which bilingual and monolingual children show a difference in development. Research shows that children who speak more languages, sometimes later than monolingual children. This is not an indication that they have problems, talk to learn or develop their two languages. It just takes more time for language of the two languages to learn. On the other hand, learn a series of bilingual children to monolingual children speak. Research has also shown that bilingual children learn a language with others. As you can see your child become bilingual to develop along the upper edge of the monolingual child. If your child speaks a language or two, the first language to support the second language as it is taught. Some children learn two languages simultaneously.

Sunday, September 5th, 2010As an educator today is very exciting. It shall be 2011. We rolled into a new year and there are so many educational opportunities on the horizon. technological advances of today are changing the world inventions of paper or the printing press monumental. Information is dosed at ever higher speeds.
But the speed and the methods we use to absorb information not changed, but our access to and the way we handle it has changed.
As humans, we use to process information the same way that we always – through our five senses. For education, we usually leave to our eyes, ears and touch. If you have a smartphone or mobile device (especially an IPAD), you hold an incredible educational tool in your hands. Why, you ask? Because it is interactive and multi-sensory.
How is an iPad, in contrast to a computer that is another question that may ask? Here are my top 5 reasons why a iPad superior to an ordinary computer manuals, and even when it comes to learning.
1. No mouse! As fast as we all pick up the concept of a cursor on the screen, it’s still an extra step for informing the brain travel to the device and vice versa. If a child’s fingers to manipulate information or move to a letter or form is used, there is no extra step to bring the mouse into the street.
2. No wires! You can have an iPhone or iPad everywhere with you. In fact, the whole point – technology on the road. You can learn from anywhere – not just a school desk or a kitchen table.
3. No books! Well, I love books and thousands of them, but you can learn everything from Spanish, math to grammar handwriting that all from a single device, without an arm drag or a backpack full of books.
4. Shorter waiting times! Installation of an application is much faster than installing software on a computer.
5. Less cost! Frankly, I think apps are too cheap, but why not use it, while the trend here. Take language, for example … You buy a book for 50 dollars or more, or computer software to more than $ 200 or more, give your child a new language. Or can an app for $ 4.99 to buy. This is just great technology at ridiculously low prices.
Tip – If you want to buy, applications for education (and you will be when the technology), or to remind your iPhone back to iTunes so that you reinstall, if it ever gets accidentally deleted or iPad want your device to to replace a new one.
