Especially you, university candidates, who are starting your final year at school, balance your day properly and get enough sleep to increase classroom performance and exam results.Teens need about 9 1/4 hours of sleep each night to function best (for some, 8 1/2 hours is enough) according to National Sleep Foundation. Look through the following infographic from Onlinecollege.org and see what effect sleep deprivation can have on you. There are also tips for good sleeping habits.

 

 

What about Game-Based Learning?

There is an interesting article by Katie Lepi at http://www.edudemic.com/2013/08/game-based-learning-infographic/ which makes me really happy, because I really support playing games in the language classroom, although I don’t actually favour digital games over traditional ones. It’s the team spirit and eye to eye communication that makes the difference. Do you play games with your class? What are they?
