If you want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to boost your grade. The following tips will help you do your best in class.
·Study in 1-hour blocks.
·Plan regular breaks.
Step away for a few minutes every hour so you don’t feel overworked. Since studying takes up a lot of energy and brainpower, schedule in 5-10 minutes every hour when you just relax.
·
Work on difficult concepts when you have the most energy. It might sound like a good idea to save tough subjects for later, but you won’t feel as motivated to learn about them. Instead, choose the class or subject you have the most trouble with and work on it right away when you sit down to study.
·Rewrite your notes in your own words.
Organizing your notes helps you keep information a lot easier. Go through all of the notes you’ve taken and pick out the information you think is most important. Rewrite the notes on a separate page or in a different notebook.
•Reward yourself when you finish.
Treat yourself to something small when you reach your study goals.
A.Focus on hard topics first. |
B.Schedule time to study every day. |
C.Avoid working through the breaks you’ve scheduled. |
D.Keep your study sessions shorter so you don’t get worn out. |

"An A in English!" said Johnny's Dad. "You're a very clever boy, Johnny."
Johnny is a hacker(黑客). Hackers know how to take information from other computers and put new information in. Using a modern(调制调解器), they join their computers to other computers secretly. School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers. So are the police, for some people even take money from bank computer account and put it into their own ones. And they never have to leave home to do it! They are called hackers.

Junior Alvarado, a high school student in the Washington Leadership Academy, often struggled in his math classes and earned poor grades. The teachers at the Washington Leadership Academy used computer programs to identify the areas he was weak in and design a learning plan just for him.
“They explain the problem step by step. It wouldn’t be as fast, but at your speed,” said the 15—year—old, “Now I feel better about my math skills.”
The use of technology in schools is part of a larger idea of personalized learning. This idea has been gaining in popularity in recent years. Personalized learning is away of teaching centering around the interests and needs of individual students instead of entire classes as a whole. It includes flexible learning environments and specially—designed education plans. Students can decide what and how they learn. In that way, they are able to master subjects at their own speed.
Joseph Webb, headmaster of the Washington Leadership Academy, says the digital tools help teachers identify problems students are facing before they become too serious. “We can solve them right then and there; we don’t have to wait for the problems to come to us,” he said.
Still, many researchers say it is too early to tell if personalized learning works better than traditional teaching. A recent study found that personalized learning only led to small improvements. It found only a 3—percent improvement in math and even smaller improvements in reading compared to traditional teaching methods. In addition, experts in children’s health warn that the overuse of technology can damage face—to—face relationships and young people’s interest in physical activity.
Some teachers have their doubts as well. Marla Kilfoyle, a teacher in a public high school, admits that technology can be helpful in the classroom in many ways. But she argues that no computer program should ever replace the personal touch, support and inspiration teachers give their students.

【推荐3】Finding success in blended learning
Blended (混合的) learning offers students flexibility as it is a mixture between remote and face-to-face learning where you can set your own learning pace.
Create a planner
Instead of doing everything just before a deadline, blended learning models motivate you to set and follow a continual learning schedule.
Once you have a daily planner filled with upcoming assignments and planned lessons, it’s time to apply the ABCDE method. If you have to complete four online assignments before tomorrow, mark the most important tasks with “A”, the second most important tasks with “B”, and so on.
Do not multitask
Multitasking can drastically reduce your focus levels and lead to cognitive ability impairment (认知功能障碍). But it can be hard to avoid multitasking, especially when you’re in the middle of an online course, and a notification (通知) pops up.
Track study time
Don’t forget friends and hobbies
Blended learning can be stressful and challenging, but it gives you a flexibility that traditional education lacks. It’s essential to focus on all parts of your student life and avoid neglecting some aspects.
A.Use mind maps |
B.Set priorities |
C.It’s better to do a whole body exercise and then concentrate on a certain task. |
D.To excel in this method, create a study and activity planner for an upcoming week. |
