20 Ways to Bring Your Textbook to Life! Included in the Digital Tips Advent Calendar and part of the Effective Technology Integration category I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn. ~ Albert Einstein Your textbook is just another tool in your teacher’s instructional kit.

Teach Your Kids How to be "Fair Aware" One of the first protests children shout when they feel upset is, “That’s NOT FAIR!” Parents can tire themselves counting an even number of Cheerios into bowls or making sure each child gets a turn pressing the elevator button, but children might still feel life is unfair until they understand the underlying root feelings and what fair and equal mean. To help children understand the concept of fair and equal and the intense emotions often driving those beliefs, parents can use these steps to grow fairness awareness.

Power DistanceThis dimension deals with the fact that all individuals in societies are not equal – it expresses the attitude of the culture towards these inequalities amongst us. Power Distance is defined as the extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.
