About the Lightbulb Moments Tutoring
About the Lightbulb Moments TutoringThe Lightbulb Moments Tutoring Course is a unique project-based approach to helping students learn academic skills. Students use what they have learned in a real life setting to create a light bulb moment using objects from their own homes and the world around them. The 'Lightbulb Moments' is captured on video and can be used as an independent learning resource by the students and a collaborative activity by teachers.The aim of the Internet is to help us expand our capabilities to help in the global village, and that can be achieved by working in a virtual online world. Our world is becoming more populated with all kinds of different people from all over the world and it is a good idea to use the tools of the digital age to help make people more globally aware. This way, we get to experience the social and cultural differences and we also learn from them.One of the key elements of the Lightbulb Moments Tutoring was learning how to conduct a communi ty event in a virtual environment. In our modern day, there are so many people from so many different places. We all work together and we all live in the same place, but we don't see each other every day and we don't see everyone's families either. We need to learn how to enjoy the things we do together and learn to see these things through each other's eyes.Learning how to use technology in a global level is a challenge. We can use it to help boost social awareness and create awareness for global issues, but we also have to use it to help educate ourselves and to foster trust in others. We can share our knowledge in a more interactive way by doing projects and this has the dual advantage of increasing students' knowledge in real time and getting them into a more active learning environment.Students come into the Lightbulb Moments Tutoring ready to go with a little bit of practice, but most of them didn't have any idea about the project or even what a light bulb moment was. They had to use their imagination to take a light bulb out of their home and place it in a box and then they had to find a person they knew who lived somewhere in the world and they had to make contact with them. Once they had those two things, they had to put the light bulb in the box and then take it back to the teacher and explain how it worked.During the lesson, they are instructed about the project, which includes using the internet to find things from your home and to locate a person that lives in another country, that can help you. The lesson guides also give some examples of what the student has to do and to encourage a sense of urgency, they give the students a short time limit to complete the project. This ensures that they are really going to take action and that they know what they are doing.Now we can look at how this works in a classroom. How do teachers get students to do something together? What do the students think? How do we use the internet to help us learn better?An onl ine class is a lot like a classroom where the teacher can guide the students through what is happening, but the important thing is that the student feels a sense of urgency. There is no doubt that the internet has a lot to offer for students, but it takes a bit of imagination to use it to help the learners to expand their capabilities. And we all know that one can only learn through interaction, and that is the way that students learn best.
