Grammar school entrance exams undermined by study showing how children learn

by Rajdeep
written by Rajdeep

grammar-school.jpg

A new psychological study has cast doubt both on the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” and claims that entrance exams for selective schools can accurately determine a child’s “true potential”.

The researchers tested more than 550 school pupils aged 11 to 18 and more than 100 adults on various skills such as “non-verbal reasoning”, a process involved in maths.

And they found that children aged 11 to 13 – older than the age when children typically take entrance exams – were able to improve their performance by 10 percentage points in just three weeks.

They also found a greater effect of training on older adolescents than on their younger counterparts, according to a paper in the journal Psychological Science.

Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, of University College London, who led the research, said: “Although adults and older adolescents benefited most from training in non-verbal reasoning, the average test score for adolescents aged 11-13 improved from 60 per cent to 70 per cent following three weeks of ten-minute online training sessions.

“This calls into question the claim that entry tests for selective schools that include non-verbal reasoning ‘assess the true potential of every child’.”

In the non-verbal reasoning test, participants were shown a grid of different shapes and colours with one space left blank. They then had to work out the correct shape to complete the pattern.

Another test, which measured “numerosity discrimination”, they were shown two groups of different coloured dots in quick succession and had to judge which group had the most dots.

“We find that these cognitive skills, which are related to mathematics performance, show greater training effects in late adolescence than earlier in adolescence,” said Dr Lisa Knoll, who co-wrote the paper.

“These findings highlight the relevance of this late developmental stage for education and challenge the assumption that earlier is always better for learning.

“We find that fundamental cognitive skills related to mathematics can be significantly trained in late adolescence.”

Delia Fuhrmann, another of the researchers, stressed there were limits to what could be claimed about good performance in such tests.

 “Some ‘brain training’ apps claim to improve your IQ by getting you to practise a specific task such as the non-verbal reasoning task we used in our experiment,” she said.

“However, there is no evidence that this leads to an improvement in overall cognitive ability. All we can say for sure is that training to spot patterns in a three-by-three grid of abstract shapes improves your ability to spot patterns in a three-by-three grid of abstract shapes.

“While this ability is commonly tested in IQ tests, it might not be appropriate to make judgements about other forms of intelligence based on the outcomes of such tests.”

How to… plan engaging maths lessons

by Rajdeep
written by Rajdeep

One teacher shares some simple tricks for making your maths lessons more exciting

All too often, maths gets branded a “dull” subject. Particularly if you are a non-specialist, it can be difficult to think of ways to make your maths lessons really come alive.

But there are some simple strategies that I have found work really well to engage even the most reluctant learner. Maths specialist or not, try some of these tips when you are planning your lessons to prove to students that maths is far from “dull”.

  1. Relate the work to something the class are interested inI recently taught a Pokémon-themed lesson on calculation. The students picked their favourite characters and found the differences and totals of combat power points, heights, weights etc.

    Even if you think that the latest craze is a load of nonsense, it can be worth putting personal opinions aside if it gets your class engaged.

  2. Teach in bitesize chunksParticularly with a class that tends to be disengaged, try teaching for a couple of minutes and then sending the students off with a mini exercise. By repeating quick bursts of learning throughout the lesson, the students are kept busy, on-task and focused.
  3. Give the students answers instead of questionsProviding the answers first can make activities much more open. Instead of giving your class a page full of sums, write some numbers on the board and ask students to work out what the questions could have been. This technique has the added bonus of making differentiation simpler, as children can push themselves to find really tricky questions.
  4. Try some project-based learningAsk your students to come up with an idea they’d like to investigate and then challenge them to create their own portfolio of findings. This kind of self-directed project can make students more motivated and make learning feel more rewarding.

    When the projects are complete, students can share them with one another to disseminate the knowledge.

  5. Get things wrong The first time I tried this was when I made a genuine mistake and one of my pupils politely pointed it out. But I noticed that it made the children eager to spot more errors… so I started making them on purpose.                   [Source:- tes]

How to pass the Oxford interview

by Rajdeep
written by Rajdeep

Helen Swift

It’s the university application season – with the first wave of deadlines, including Oxford and Cambridge, coming this week.

The anxious process will have seen teenagers visiting university open days and worrying about personal statements on their application forms.

For some of the most competitive courses there are also interviews.

Oxford, keen to demystify its admissions process, has published the type of questions students might face.

“Interviews will be an entirely new experience for most students, and we know many prospective applicants are already worried about being in an unfamiliar place and being questioned by people they have not met,” says director of admissions Samina Khan.

In an attempt to make it less intimidating the university has produced a video explaining how the interview works.

And it has published some sample questions – and suggestions for how students might have answered.

  • What makes a novel or play “political”?

This was a question for a French course. Interviewer Helen Swift, from St Hilda’s College, said:

“This is the sort of question that could emerge from a student’s personal statement, where, in speaking about their engagement with literature and culture of the language they want to study, they state a keen interest in works (such as a novel, play or film) that are “political”.

“We might start off by discussing the specific work that they cite (something that isn’t included in their A-level syllabus), so they have chance to start off on something concrete and familiar, asking, for instance, “in what ways?”, “why?”, “why might someone not enjoy it for the same reason?”.

“We’d then look to test the extent of their intellectual curiosity and capacities for critical engagement by broadening the questioning out to be more conceptually orientated and invite them to make comparisons between things that they’ve read/seen (in whatever language).

“So, in posing the overall question, ‘What makes this political?’ we’d want the candidate to start thinking about what one means in applying the label: what aspects of a work does it evoke? Is it a judgement about content or style? Could it be seen in and of itself a value judgement? How useful is it as a label?

“What if we said that all art is, in fact, political? What about cases where an author denies that their work is political, but critics assert that it is – is it purely a question of subjective interpretation?

“A strong candidate would show ready willingness and very good ability to engage and develop their ideas in conversation. It would be perfectly fine for someone to change their mind in the course of the discussion or come up with a thought that contradicted something they’d said before – we want people to think flexibly and be willing to consider different perspectives…

“Undoubtedly, the candidate would need to take a moment to think in the middle of all that – we expect that “ermmm”, “ah”, “oh”, “well” will feature in someone’s responses!”

  • About one in four deaths in the UK is due to some form of cancer, yet in the Philippines the figure is only around one in 10. What factors might underlie this difference?

This was a question for medicine. Interviewer Chris Norbury, from Queen’s College, said:

“This is a typically open question, with no single ‘correct’ answer, which aims to stimulate the sort of discussion that might be encountered in a tutorial teaching session.

“The discussion could take any one of a number of directions, according to the candidate’s interests. Some candidates will ask useful clarifying questions, such as, ‘Where do these data come from, and how reliable are they?’ or “What is the average life expectancy in these parts of the world?”

“Some candidates will seize on the idea that various aspects of the typical lifestyle in the UK are inherently unhealthy, which can make for an interesting discussion in itself. Others, especially if they appreciate that life expectancy in the Philippines is substantially lower than in the UK, will realise that other causes of death are more common in the developing world, and that this is the major factor that gives rise to the difference alluded to in the question.

“This probes selection criteria including problem-solving, critical thinking, intellectual curiosity, communication skills, ability to listen and compatibility with the tutorial format.”

  • What exactly do you think is involved in blaming someone?

This was a question for philosophy, politics and economics, and interviewer Ian Phillips, from St Anne’s College, said:

“Questions like this help draw out a candidate’s ability to think carefully and precisely about a familiar concept, evaluating proposals, coming up with counter-examples, disentangling considerations, and being creative in proposing alternative approaches.

“Obviously the notion of blame is an important one in moral theory but insofar as blame is an emotional attitude it also brings in issues in the philosophy of mind. Debates about the nature of blame are going on right now in philosophy so the question is also partly a prompt for doing some philosophy together – which is exactly what we hope to achieve in a tutorial.

“With a question like this we’re not looking for a right answer but instead whether the candidate can be creative in coming up with examples and suggestions, and can think critically and carefully through their implications…

“Good interviews will often generate all kinds of interesting and revealing discussions that show a candidate’s ability for analytical thought: for example about self-blame, cases of blame where the blamer knew the blamed had done nothing wrong, and indeed cases of blaming something inanimate (such as a faulty printer or phone).”

  • Imagine a ladder leaning against a vertical wall with its feet on the ground. The middle rung of the ladder has been painted a different colour on the side, so that we can see it when we look at the ladder from the side on. What shape does that middle rung trace out as the ladder falls to the floor?

This was a question for maths and interviewer Rebecca Cotton-Barratt, from Christ Church, said:

“This question tests whether you can do what mathematicians do, which is to abstract away all the unimportant information and use mathematics to represent what’s going on.

“I’d initially ask the candidate what shape they think will be formed, and then ask them how they can test this hypothesis. They might initially try sketching the ladder at different stages – this is fine, but ultimately what we want is something that we can generalise and that is accurate (you can’t be sure that your drawing is that accurate, particularly when you’re making a sketch on a whiteboard and don’t have a ruler).

“So eventually they will fall back on maths, and try to model the situation using equations. If they get stuck we would ask them what shape the ladder makes with the wall and floor, and they’ll eventually spot that at each stage the ladder is forming a right-angled triangle.

“Some might then immediately leap to Pythagoras’ Theorem and use that to find the answer (which is that it forms a quarter circle centred on the point where the floor meets the wall).”

  • A large study appears to show that older siblings consistently score higher than younger siblings on IQ tests. Why would this be?

This was a question for experimental psychology. Interviewer Kate Watkins of St Anne’s College said:

“This is a question that really asks students to think about lots of different aspects of psychology, and we guide students when discussing it to think about both scientific factors such as maternal age (mothers are older when younger siblings are born – could that play a role?) and observational analysis about how birth order might affect behaviour and therefore performance on IQ tests.

“It’s a great question because students begin from the point they are most comfortable with, and we gradually add more information to see how they respond: for example, noting that for example the pattern holds true even taking into account things like maternal age.

“This can lead them to think about what the dynamics of being an older sibling might be that produce such an effect – they might suggest that having more undivided parental attention in the years before a sibling comes along makes a difference, for example.

“Then we introduce the further proviso that the effect isn’t observable in only children – there is something particular to being an older sibling that produces it. Eventually most students arrive at the conclusion that being an older sibling and having to teach a younger sibling certain skills and types of knowledge benefits their own cognitive skills (learning things twice, in effect).

“But there isn’t really a “right” answer and we are always interested to hear new explanations that we haven’t heard before.”

Getting into Oxbridge: How to tackle the questions during Oxford and Cambridge University admissions interviews

by Rajdeep
written by Rajdeep

oxford-uni-getty.jpg

Oxbridge interviews are frequently the source of intriguing stories. You’ll frequently hear tales of students who were asked seemingly obscure questions like, “Why do we have two nostrils but only one mouth?”, or impossibly difficult ones such as, “How many grains of sand are there in the world?”

If taken in context, both of these are very fair Oxbridge interview questions. The first would naturally lead to a discussion concerning the evolution of sensory organs and the pros and cons of having multiple mouths, for example, reduced risk of infections versus the inability to eat and speak simultaneously.

The latter question would test a candidate’s ability to breakdown an initially very large problem into more bite-sized chunks in order to manage it, like the surface area of the Earth, percentage of the Earth covered by land, percentage of land covered by sand, and average depth of sand and so on.

7 things students wish they’d known about Oxbridge admissions

Oxbridge interviews are not about testing your knowledge. Instead, they are about testing what you can do with the knowledge you already possess. Remember, once you’re at university, you will rapidly assimilate a great deal of new information, so much so that you will start to wonder what all the fuss over A-levels was all about.

This is the main reason why it’s not particularly useful for interviewers to ask purely knowledge based questions such as, “What is the normal plasma concentration of magnesium?” Knowledge of isolated facts is neither necessary nor sufficient for a successful Oxbridge interview. Instead, it is the application of some basic facts to novel situation that is the hallmark of success.

One of the best ways to demonstrate this is to outline my own interview experiences at Cambridge when I applied to study medicine several years ago.

Interview one

This was my first science interview and the interviewer was delighted when he found out I studied physics at A2. His opening question was: “What have you read recently?” I explained I’d been reading about the new drug Rosuvastatin – a statin that was being recommended for everyone above a certain age, regardless of their actual cholesterol levels. The follow up questions were what you would expect: “How do statins work?” and “What are the risks/benefits of giving them to everyone?” Basically, ensure you know the basics of any topic you voluntarily bring up.

This then led to a discussion on how I would convince someone this drug was useful for them, followed by how I would convince someone blue light was more damaging than red. I struggled with this for a while, bouncing ideas back and forth, with each of them sequentially shot down, until I finally stumbled onto Einstein’s E=hf. This led to a discussion about why the sky is blue and sunsets can be a myriad of colours. All of this culminated in the classic: “What colour is the Sun in reality?” (Hint – it’s not yellow, orange, or red). This is the question tabloids would take out of context to make the interview seem like an array of bizarre questions when, in fact, this was perfectly reasonable giving the preceding questions.

This interview serves as a perfect example of a non-scripted interview i.e. one where the interviewer was happy to bounce ideas between us, forcing me to think about concepts in ways I never had before. I’m certain that, if I had offered a different answer to the initial question about my reading, the discussion would have gone along a significantly different route.

Interview two

My second interview was more scripted; the interviewer had a pre-set agenda with corresponding questions that he wanted to discuss. Given this person is known to ask the same interview questions annually, I’ve refrained from including specifics in order to not spoil the plot for everyone and to unfairly put future applicants at an advantage – or disadvantage.

After going through my BMAT essay very briefly, he asked me to draw a graph on his whiteboard. This was no easy task. I spent 15 minutes struggling with this graph due to its unusual axis. Like many candidates, I made the mistake of learning about excessively complex topics like the complement membrane attack complex and ignored much core A-level topics like human physiology. This meant I wasn’t completely sure about a basic fact that was required for the graph. This was a tough interview and, at the end of it, I was certain I had flunked. This was compounded by the fact other candidates were bragging about how they had got the correct graph in only 30 seconds.

When you’re in the waiting room with the other candidates, it may appear many of them are far smarter than you and know a lot more. Again, remember the entire point of an interview is to assess your ability to apply knowledge.

People get nervous and unconfident while waiting for interviews. One of the ways they try to feel more secure is by exerting their intellectual superiority. In this example, the students who tended to arrive at the answer very quickly were unsuccessful. This is likely because they had previous knowledge of the question from their school or through extra reading. Although this allowed them to get the correct answer quickly, they were unable to explain the intermediate steps that led them to it i.e. they knew the topic but didn’t understand it.

5 key learning points

As you can see, I made lots of errors in my interview preparation. Please learn from them. Good students learn from their mistakes, but great students learn from others’ mistakes, so:

  1. Don’t be put off by what other candidates say in the waiting room. Focus on yourself – you are all that matters. If you want to be in the zone, then I would recommend taking some headphones and your favourite music
  2. Don’t read up on multiple advanced topics in-depth. Choose one topic and know it well. Focus the rest of your time on your core A-level syllabus. You are not expected to know about the features of transverse myelitis, but you will be expected to be able to rattle off a list of ten cellular organelles
  3. Don’t worry about being asked seemingly irrelevant questions you’ll often hear about in the media. These are taken out of context. Focus on being able to answer the common questions, such as, “Why this college?”
  4. Don’t lose heart if your interviews appear to have gone poorly. If anything, this can actually be a good sign as it shows the interviewer pushed you to your limits rather than giving up on you as you clearly weren’t Oxbridge material
  5. Above all, don’t give up. When you’re presented with complex scenarios, go back to the absolute basics and try to work things out using first principles. By doing this and thinking out loud, you allow the interviewer to see your logical train of thought so that they can help you when you become stuck.                                                     [Source:- independent]

Uber vs. Ola: How fight for Indian taxi market ended up in court

by Rajdeep
written by Rajdeep

A flurry of complaints from Uber drivers about an unusually high number of canceled bookings was the spark that ignited a bitter legal fight with Ola, Uber’s rival for dominance of India’s $12 billion taxi market, according to court documents and a source with direct knowledge of Uber’s case.

A seven-member internal team was set up to investigate the drivers’ complaints in November, and its findings are the basis of a lawsuit filed by Uber accusing Ola of a campaign to disrupt its business and poach its drivers, said the source.

Ola, an Indian company backed by Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp (9984.T), denies any wrongdoing.

Uber is suing Ola for $7.5 million to compensate for lost revenue and goodwill, alleging the Indian market leader created about 94,000 fake user accounts with the ride-hailing service and used them to make more than 405,000 false bookings.

The broad outlines of the lawsuit were reported when it was filed last month, but a Reuters review of court filings and interviews with sources close to both sides have uncovered new details about how Uber says it was able to trace fake bookings and calls to Ola employees, and Ola’s response to the allegations.

It paints a picture of a no-holds-barred corporate battle between the two start-ups in one of the world’s fastest growing taxi markets, where both have been burning millions of dollars of investor money as they seek to undercut each other with cheaper fares.

A source close to Ola said the case against it had been fabricated in retaliation for a lawsuit it had filed earlier this year accusing Uber of flouting a court order to switch to clean-fuel cars in the Indian capital.

Uber said it could not comment on a matter that was still before the courts, and Reuters was unable to independently verify the allegations made by either side.

SoftBank, one of Ola’s largest investors, declined to comment on the case.

FOUR-MONTH INVESTIGATION

Uber’s investigation identified locations and internet protocol addresses of tens of thousands of users who had booked and canceled rides, using information logged when a new customer account is created on Uber’s platform, the source familiar with the company’s case said.

In court documents, Uber says it found 660 accounts used to make troublesome bookings came from a building housing Ola’s office in the western city of Pune. Most of the rest were created near Ola’s office in the tech hub Bengaluru, it said.

In the court filings, Uber said more than 23,000 of its drivers quit due to “illegal and wrongful interference” between September 2015 and February 2016.

The source close to Ola said the company had made its own checks and found no correlations in the thousands of data points submitted by Uber in its complaint, which included names and mobile phone numbers alleged to belong to Ola employees.

The data could have been compiled in a few hours using names, business addresses and phone numbers linked to Ola that could be looked up online, the source said.

The Delhi High Court has set a hearing on the latest case in September. Ola’s case against Uber is before the same court.

The backdrop to the legal sparring is a relentless price war between Uber and Ola, who also offer competing incentives to lure drivers.

“The one which lasts the longest will eventually win and enjoy monopoly power,” said Neil Shah, research director at Counterpoint Research.

Counterpoint estimates Uber’s growth has outpaced Ola over the last two years, when it doubled its market share to 26.5 percent. Ola, however, still leads with 52 percent share.

LINKEDIN PROFILES, GOOGLE MAPS

Uber’s legal submissions included several images of LinkedIn profiles, locations pinpointed with Google Maps and hundreds of phone numbers it said belonged to people associated with Ola.

Reuters called dozens of those numbers, but most were not operational.

One number cited in court documents, from which 74 cancellations were made, belonged to a user identified as Kisan Kumar.

When Reuters called the number, the person answering identified himself as college student Shashank Kumar in Pune and said Kisan was his brother.

Shashank said he often used Uber and Ola but had not made repeated cancellations on the Uber platform. Reuters was unable to contact Kisan for comment.

Another number Reuters was able to connect to belonged to someone identified as “Shiv D” in Uber’s filings, which alleged he created 30 fake accounts to book and cancel dozens of rides.

Shiv D said he had worked for Ola helping drivers get new cars, but denied Uber’s allegations and said he had since left the company.

The fake bookings are not the only accusation leveled by Uber against Ola.

Uber says one of its biggest losses of earnings came on New Year’s Eve, when drivers in New Delhi began getting calls around 5 p.m. telling them to shut off the ride-hailing app as there was a technical glitch that needed to be fixed.

When they checked back hours later to see if they could get back online they were told Uber had made no such calls.

Uber says in the court documents its investigation traced the source of the calls to two numbers registered in Ola’s name. Reuters was able to confirm by dialing that one of the numbers identified in the documents was an Ola call center.

The source close to Ola denied it made the calls and said the company’s call center number was public information that Uber’s team could simply have looked up.

How to transfer music from laptop to an iPhone

by Rajdeep
written by Rajdeep

How to transfer music from laptop to an iPhone

There’re many advantages to Apple’s ecosystem. The synergy between the devices is unprecedented. Apple has “simplified” things so much that its products are considered to be easier to use. The products also come with a great ecosystem of accessories which makes owning them a fuss-free experience for most of the people.

However, Apple’s approach also adds some complexities. For example, one big problem for the iPhone users is management of their music collection. On the iPhone or iPad you can’t “cut, copy and  paste” files. Also, Apple owns the iTunes store and in order to avoid piracy it limits the user of an iPhone or iPad to a host PC or a Mac. So how does one transfer music from a laptop to an iPhone? For example you have 10 songs on your computer. You want them into your iPhone. It is an amazingly simple question, but the answer to it is a little complex.

The iTunes method

The iTunes method is what one must use to transfer music from a laptop, external hard-drive or pen drive to the iPhone. To do this, you need to follow these steps:

1- Download and install iTunes on your Windows PC. On a Mac, it will be pre-loaded. When you will open iTunes for the first time, it will scan your computer for all the music and media and add it to the iTunes library. If you have the music stored on an external drive, make sure that’s also connected to the computer. It will also download all the music you’ve bought from Apple once you log-in to your iTunes account if you have used it before to purchase music.

2- Connect your iPhone to the computer using the USB cable.

3- Open iTunes.

4- Locate and click on your device on the left side bar.

5- Click on the ‘Summary’ tab and scroll down to the Options section.

6- Click the box next to “Manually manage music and videos.”

7- Go to the ‘Music’ tab, check box next to sync music

8- Then click on either ‘entire library’ or ‘selected playlists, artists and genre’ which basically allows for manually selecting the songs that you want in the iPhone.

9- Click apply.

Using iTunes, you can also transfer music wirelessly to the iPhone. The process is quite straight forward and you have to follow the following steps.

1- Connect the iPhone to iTunes using USB cable so that the sharing is enabled between the two devices.

2- Ensure iPhone and your laptop which is running iTunes is on the same Wi-Fi network.

3- Open iTunes

4- Once iPhone is connected iTunes, in the summary tab check on the ”Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi’ tab.

5- Press “Apply”

6- The next time you open iTunes, you will be able to sync music wirelessly — no USB cable required — as long as both the laptop and iPhone are on the same Wi-Fi network.

In case you store music in a pen drive or an external hard disk, here is what you will need to do:

1- Select the “iTunes preferences” menu. On Windows you have to go to the tiny button on the top right corner. On OS X, you have to go to the iTunes icon on the top right.

2- Inside preferences you have to jump straight to the last tab (8th) called “Advanced”.

3- In the advanced tab, the first thing you will see ‘iTunes media folder location’. By default, its path will read something like ‘C:\\Users\Sahil\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media’. This is the folder you need to copy if you’re backing up your music.

4- In the case you’re trying to add music from an external drive you have to change the path. So if you’re music is on ‘D’ drive inside a folder called music all you need to is change the path to D:\\Music and you’re good to go.

Copy music using cloud storage

What if you have saved your music on cloud storage platforms like DropBox, OneDrive, or even Apple’s iCloud? In most cases you will be able to stream the music directly from the dedicated app of the service. In the case of iCloud, the music finds its way into the Music app on the iPhone by turning on a setting on the phone.

So here’s what you must do:

For iCloud

1- Enter the settings menu on the iPhone

2- Go to the iTunes and App Store settings and click the automatic downloads for the music. This will download all the music you have downloaded from the iTunes store on your iPhone. This works even if you made a purchase from a different device, using the same iTunes account.

3- Inside the setting menu, scroll down for the ‘music’ sub-menu and turn on iCloud Music Library which will either seek to merge your iCloud music with the one on your phone or completely replace the music on your phone with the one on iCloud. Opt for the option that is convenient to you.

For DropBox and OneDrive

1- Download the respective apps from the App Store

2- Supply your relevant account ID and password to the app

3- Click on the file to play the song. The app will stream it.

4- On OneDrive, on the bottom right corner, click on the contexual menu and click on open with another app option. This will download the file on the phone so that you can play the song using the standard Music app or third party apps like JukeBox.

5- If you have a lot of music on DropBox and you want to download the music on to the iPhone, then download a free app called JukeBox. Once you open the app, it will ask for your DropBox account details and scan and download all the files on the phone so that you can play them.

Third-party solutions

The way iOS is architected there is no file system that’s accessible to the user. So if you’re looking for the traditional drag and drop method, you can’t do it, unless you download a third party app. There are apps for both OSX and Windows. For Windows there is SharePod which can be bought for $20, while for OS X, there are solutions like iExplorer which costs $39 and Senuti which costs $19.
Basically, when an iPhone, iPod or iPad are connected to a PC or Mac which have either of these apps open, users can see the file system and drag and drop files.

SharePod

1- First connect your iPhone to the PC.

2- Then open SharePod, and it will start scanning for an Apple iOS device.

3- Then choose manually the files that you want to copy and click on the ‘Copy to Computer’ button.

iExplorer

1- Open iExporer on the Mac.

2- Connect your iPhone or iPad with the Mac.

3- If iTunes prompts you to sync with your computer, select no or cancel.

4- Select individual tracks using the command button on the Mac.

5- Drag and drop the files in the folder of your choice.
It is worth noting that we have not tested either iExplorer or SharePod, but these apps are believed to be very good at extracting data directly from an iPhone by opening up its file system.

Each pupil has their preferred playtime activity – talking, playing football, reading, or joining in with whatever the latest craze is in the playground. But for some, there is only so much talking, playing football, reading, and joining in with the latest craze that they can do.

Which is why Edventure has devised a Playground Pack, complete with 2D Boules, Big Hand Tennis, Catchtails, Cats Cradle, Flipsticks, Foam Flyers, French Skipping, Hoop a Peg, Koosh Balls, a Scoop Set, Plastic Stilts, a Shuttleball, Skipping Ropes, Soft Wall Balls, a Starball, a Springy Ball Game, and Twirling Ribbons.

So that you can offer your pupils a new, exciting, and varied playtime experience (each and every playtime) and create an environment where a different kind of learning takes place as they practise to perfect and broaden their skill sets.

Furthermore, we have also produced a free downloadable Game Guide to Starball so your lunchtime supervisors can be confident in introducing the new game to your pupils.

How to Make Your Brand Messaging Resonate

by admin
written by admin

Marketers have a tendency to get stuck in a bubble. Identifying and acting on what the customer wants is at the core of what we do, but sometimes what we think we know eclipses our awareness of what customers actually want. As a result, language and messaging only resonate with others who exist inside that same bubble. Your marketing organization becomes an echo chamber. Meanwhile, valuable potential customers are floating around outside and out-of-reach.

Brand messaging that falls flat is one of the biggest problems facing brands today. It prevents you from forging those meaningful connections that cultivate loyal and long-term customers. Let’s take a look at three ways to create marketing messages that resonate with your true customer, and not just the sales guy down the hall.

Avoid marketing speak
Marketers have their own language. We develop our own lexicon of terms that make perfect sense to us and our co-workers, but make little sense to consumers we’re trying to reach. We create “About Us” pages and product descriptions filled with “marketing speak” and hope that viewers understand. No surprise here, they don’t.

Jargon doesn’t resonate with consumers. It has the opposite effect of frustrating them — they went to that page seeking information, and only found vague and artistic allusions to the product or brand. To create campaigns that actually get your messaging across, use plain English. Resist the impulse to sprinkle industry jargon around and focus on conveying a clear, simple, informative message that anyone can understand.

Emotions matter
Messaging that’s easy to understand is step one. However, for it to have a real impact, it needs to factor in the emotions of the reader. Humans are emotional beings. While we’re also rational, emotion influences what we respond to, what sticks, and how we make decisions. When creating copy, think carefully about what emotions you want to elicit. Joy? Jealousy? Anticipation? Acceptance? Also consider what emotional need your product or brand speaks to. The desire to be more productive? To spend more time with loved ones? To be better dressed?

It’s important to put yourself in the customers shoes and think about how they might be feeling when they receive a message. For example, auction marketplaces have to send people notifications when they’re outbid. Rather than framing the losing bid as a lost opportunity, take a positive stance by reminding them how close they are to winning.
