So we hear a lot about all the benefits of online learning. But what about the amount of confusion that it creates? There’s just too much content out there in the online space and this applies to online educational content and online learning tools as well. So what do you need to do? You need to find out the best ones and utilise them. At times, keeping it simple can help a lot.

Online Learning – How’s the trend post-COVID-19 chaos?
23 January 2020 – A date that many would shudder when they recall this date. Health authorities and residents of Singapore collectively sigh as we think back on this date. This was the date that the first case of Covid-19 was confirmed in Singapore.
Here’s to a Positive Break!
Planning for a positive break Just half-way through 2020, but it feels like we’ve been in this year for ages! So, how is your 2020 going? This year, people across age groups have had their lives disrupted like never before. For kids, these disruptions are sure to have an extra impact. The pandemic related challenges…
Let’s find time to be lazy – Happy Holidays!
The average human being gets a fair share of admonishment during his/her lifetime for being lazy. Laziness has probably been frowned upon ever since we humans set foot on this planet. The mere mention of the word ‘lazy’ conjures up negative reactions. So when we tell you that you need to be spending some time ‘being lazy’ you might instantly call us outrageous. But wait, hear us out for a minute (or two).
Let’s not forget how important hobbies are!
Talking about time-out, what do we do when we need that short bout of time to rest and recharge? That’s right! Think rest, think fun, think hobby! Having a hobby is really important in life. Hobbies can be the right remedy for a variety of situations. They can offer us solace during sadness, give us a perfect break from the monotony and keep us preoccupied when there is nothing else to do.
The young and uncertain, it’s time for us to lead!
Recent findings by the National Youth Council of Singapore reveal that the pandemic has affected their mental well-being. The study points at three major issues that cause distress – fears about their future, the possibility of a financial crisis, and the inability to access services. But this has not stopped them from being compassionate at a time it is needed most! From leading initiatives such as delivering food to the needy, to giving free tuition to graduating students, youths from all across the nation are stepping up to do their part for the society.
Breathing Positivity Into The Holidays!
In times of crisis, it is truly a blessing to be amongst the people whom we love and care about. As you read this, millions of people across the globe are stranded, unable to go home and reunite with their loved ones. If you are stuck indoors with your family, then you are definitely a lot luckier than a large chunk of people. During this period let us be there for each other, spend quality time with our family and come out of all this even stronger than before. Here’s wishing all kids a stupendous holiday!
Why should we gift children with experiences?
Work from home. Home-Based Learning. #SGUnited. Social Distancing. These terms that used to carry no significance other than their definitions now have different implications. For some terms, it may even involve acts punishable by the law. With the frenzy over abiding by the laws recently set to protect our people from this formidable virus known as Covid-19, have we forgotten what it feels like to experience life in person, rather than over screens?
Let’s welcome the Year of the Rat (老鼠)!
Falling on the first day of the traditional Chinese calendar, the public holiday falls on any date between 25 January 2020 and 8 February 2020. The 15-day long festivities are filled with delicious food, firecrackers, parades, presents and well-wishes.
#NoTechChallenge – Let’s spend “Real” Time with our Family this Holiday season!
Invasions are an interesting matter to discuss, aren’t they? Whether it be Alexander the Great, Napoleon or the European imperial powers, invaders have caused major disruptions throughout history. As the Christmas season approaches it would be worthwhile if we started discussing a new kind of invasion that is affecting us today although we seldom recognise it.
