This is a column for students to tell us their ideas, inventions, experiments or solutions to any number of society's problems in this day and age, such as alternative energy solutions, traffic congestion, a search for cures to diseases or solutions for the disabled,
TimeCapsules:
What have we learned from history? It's not too late to learn from the events that have happened in the world, and the successes---as well as the mistakes--- of those who have gone before us.
TheBookshelf:
This is a great section for librarians, book reviewers, authors, or even avid bookworms to showcase or recommend an uplifting, inspiring book and submit a review.
WhatIs...? WhoWas...? DidYouKnow...?
This is a small article to help educate the general public on any certain subject or field of study. Examples: "What is horticulture?" "What is phlebotomy?" "Who was Patrick Henry?" "Who was Rosa Parks?" "Did you know that African elephants only have four teeth to chew their food with?" Did you know that, during the Battle of Waterloo, Lord Uxbridge had his horse shot from under him nine times?"
Brainiac:
Send us math problems, vocabulary words, science experiments (that students and families can do at home!), etc. for our readers to solve.
ClassAct:
Send us a digital snapshot of your favorite class. Tell us why it's such an awesome class. Include the name of your school, where it is, and the names of the students/teachers in your photo.
ThePowerOfKnowledge:
Share how what you have learned--whether in or out of the classroom---has made a difference in your life. How has it helped you get ahead? Share with us how your knowledge has had value in the real world---at home, at work, your craft or skill, or in whatever way you've applied it.
Education isn’t just about books, research and study. What information we gather, the relationships with the people we learn from, what lessons we learn and how we use and apply the knowledge we gain is valuable to our growth as human beings. Grasping hold of the teaching moments, the power of mentoring, and the triumphs go beyond mere academia, but most importantly, sharing that information with others is what the Power of Education is all about.
Students of all ages--from kindergarten through PhD--are encouraged to submit their English papers, reports, or their own articles about successful homework habits, their favorite class, teacher or subject/major, how they've been able to overcome or manage academic struggles and challenges, or just about how they have been able to keep a positive attitude view in their academics. Use the "Power of Education for Students" Interview Form.
The Power of Education department also encourages you to write in and give tribute to an extraordinary teacher, tutor, mentor, student or even an entire class that deserves attention and recognition. Submit content for these or any of the columns below by using our Content Submission Form.
