The PROs and CONs of competency-based learning

Going to college and getting a degree seems almost impossible for students who also have work and family commitments.

How new technology can boost student creativity in the classroom

E-learning, Higher Ed, K-12, Teachers

Children are creative and their imagination is limitless. But traditional and standardized education has the tendency to hinder creative thinking and imagination in students.
