This month's blog is
Better Ways to Say "No" to Students
.
Do you struggle with your conscience whenever you have to say No to
young students? On average young children have to listen to
"No", don't do this, Leave it, etc. phrases 20-30 times a
day. This has a negative impact on a child's psychology and makes
him reluctant to do a lot of things as he grows up.
This blog covers the best and polite ways you can say No to students
when they are wrong.
Guest Blogger Laura C Fields is an owner of Bestessayservicesradar.com
with online essay writing services reviews, ready to help students
identify the best websites in essay writing and assignments.

Every month we are going to feature a different iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application.
Visit our ever-changing app page. (www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/apps_web2_tools.htm)
The App of the Month for January is Seek by iNaturalist By iNaturalist, LLC ( iOS / Android ).
Use the power of image recognition technology to identify the plants
and animals all around you. Earn badges for seeing different types of
plants, birds, fungi and more!
- Get outside and point the Seek Camera at living things
- Identify wildlife, plants, and fungi and learn about the organisms
all around you
- Earn badges for observing different types of species and
participating in challenges
OPEN THE CAMERA AND START SEEKING!
Found a mushroom, flower, or bug, and not sure what it is? Open up the
Seek Camera to see if it knows!
Drawing from millions of wildlife observations on iNaturalist, Seek
shows you lists of commonly recorded insects, birds, plants,
amphibians, and more in your area. Scan the environment with the Seek
Camera to identify organisms using the tree of life. Add different
species to your observations and learn all about them in the process!
The more observations you make, the more badges you'll earn!
This is a great app for families who want to spend more time exploring
nature together, and for anyone who wants to learn more about the life
all around them.
KID-SAFE
Seek does not require registration and does not collect any user data
by default. Some user data will be collected if you choose to sign in
with an iNaturalist account, but you must be over 13 or have your
parents permission to do so.
Seek will ask permission to turn on location services, but your
location is obscured to respect your privacy while still allowing
species suggestions from your general area. Your precise location is
never stored in the app or sent to iNaturalist unless you sign in to
your iNaturalist account and submit your observations.
Our image recognition technology is based on observations submitted to
iNaturalist.org and partner sites, and identified by the iNaturalist
community.
Seek is created by the iNaturalist team. iNaturalist is a joint
initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National
Geographic Society. Seek was originally created with support from
HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and enhanced with support from Our Planet
on Netflix and WWF.
Seek by iNaturalist is available for Apple and Android devices.
Compatibility: Requires iOS 11.0 or later on Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and Android version 6.0 and up on your Android device.
