Educators today are faced with a never-ending struggle to improve the academic achievement of the students they serve. Gains in student achievement made during one school year must be eclipsed during the following year. Educators consistently look to data and research in hope of finding another program, instructional methodology, or tool to improve academic success.

While students still attend "brick-and-mortar" schools with a teacher present, face-to-face classroom practices are combined with computer-mediated activities regarding content and delivery.

Now you might be thinking of how to adopt this for your students, we will tell you how-to. For now, let’s break down the concept of blended learning.

What is Blended Learning?

Blended learning is a form of education that combines the benefits of online instruction with the advantages of face-to-face and traditional place-based classroom methods. It is some mix of traditional classroom instruction (which in itself varies considerably) and mediated by technology. The latter can be one student with a tablet or laptop, or small groups of kids working together on devices.



The Impact of Blended Learning in Classrooms

Most classrooms and schools are outmoded ‘answer factories,’ and regurgitation is not a skill that is marketable. Kids today are growing up in a sea of information, 24/7, and schools must be helping them formulate questions, encouraging them to dig deep, to prepare them for a world which values the ability to formulate questions and then find answers to those questions. Who is going to hire young people skilled at regurgitation?

In 2010, when Allen and Lopez (teachers at St. Genevieve Elementary school) helped to pioneer the implementation of 1-to-1 iPads at St. Genevieve Elementary, they found that students outperformed instructors when it came to using the device, and that this role reversal required the two of them, and their colleagues, to change the way they orchestrated lessons and viewed their students.

St. Genevieve school had the unique situation of being what Lopez, then a seventh and eighth-grade literature teacher, calls a "double school," meaning it has two classrooms of each grade. For the iPad pilot, they divided the classrooms into what Lopez deemed an "experiment" and a "control group," with one class using iPads and the other receiving traditional teaching. At the end of the year, they noticed some big results, including gains in test scores for the iPad group.

The benefits of blended learning and its impact on students are immense as it propels improvement which is impossible to achieve using only face-to-face meetings or only online resources. Like Allen, the school teacher at Geneviewve opined, “Technology is too powerful not to use, Using computers revolutionizes the way you think about things in the classroom. The learning is on the students."

Hey, is social media really working for your business? Or your strategy has been consistent with the popular song, “One day one day, e go better”? Do you feel confused about which platform to be used to promote your business? Baffled as to why you can’t seem to grow your followers? You have a great business but nobody knows about it or you’re frustrated that the time you spend on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest or YouTube is not helping you get new customers? You might actually be “on a long thing,” if you're waiting for the God of social media to “bless your hustle” one day.


Social media is all about strategy, and sometimes it can become frustrating and complex if you're not doing it right. One critical question you must answer is, why set up your brand on social media? Is it because your competitors are using social media? Is it because your customers are using social media? Not being able to answer those questions before launching on social media will be a waste of time and money. Like any other project or campaign, you need to have goals and a winning strategy.

Chill, Let me assure you that social media can work for your business and it’s important for your business success online. Nevertheless, like I highlighted above, being on popular social media networks like facebook and instagram, using trending hashtags and topics like #KeeptheChangeBae and #TheNigerianSnake, doesn’t automatically guarantee success. Establishing a social media strategy is more than just posting an update informing people that a new product or service is on sale. It’s more than just sharing a piece of relevant information. A social media strategy is a success when you are able to engage and interact with your target audience.

Let’s now highlight why your social media isn’t working for your business and how you can fix it.

Hi guys, do you know that a well produced, quality wireframe is a critical phase in the creative process and could make all the difference while working with different stakeholders? This question is relevant in this part of the world where due process and step by step approach is neglected. The need to create an acceptable blueprint for any website which would aid users accessibility has become germain in this ever innovative world. Please allow me to explore the “what” and “How” of wireframes briefly before talking about the “Why”.


What is Wireframe
Wireframes are the foundation on which to begin building your website or mobile App. It is often a simple sketch that shows the navigation, the main buttons, the columns, the placing of different elements in a Website or Mobile Application. A wireframe is a very basic layout of a web page that includes no color, no imagery and, in some few cases, no text.


How to use Wireframes
Since the goal of any wireframe is to "fit" the elements into a layout, not indicate how elements may actually appear in a final design, only where they will be located, a simple pencil sketch may suffice. In addition, there are some tools that make the process of wireframing easy, these tools include Axure, Balsamiq Mockups, Google Draw, Visio e.t.c. Creating wireframes using software makes the iterative process inherent in web design much less of a chore.


Why Wireframes are Important in Design Process Of Website/Mobile Apps
So, why do designers set out creating the skeleton for their new website or Mobile App project with wireframing? Why don’t they simply jump into the fun stuff by creating beautiful and detailed designs from scratch? The answer isn’t far fetched. Most clients might become problematic in the course of the design process and sometimes the developers themselves lose focus on the project.


Without the distractions of Colour, Imagery, and fonts, designers just focus on the underlying elements of the project. Thus, they have the chance to focus on the most important aspect of design-User Experience- which is essential from Conversion to Customer Loyalty.


Without further Ado, i’ll delve into the 5 reasons Wireframing has been seen as an important part of the Design process for Website and Mobile Apps Development.
