Don't think about teaching without thinking about learning!

We should never stop learning, because life never stops teaching. Education itself is an extreme force in our life that influences every part of us, it could be physical, mental, emotional and even social. It gives us experience, it modifies our behavior and it leads us towards growth and development. We must know that children gets the education from his experience in school.

The teaching and learning process, is more of a cycle. Both roles are extremely important in the preparation of a society. Each teaching and learning has its process.

The teaching process;

• Aims the transmission of knowledge, provides skill and the development of attitudes,values and behavior. 
• Setting appropriate learning experiences for students.
• Kinds of interactions that would lead to expected leaning.

The leaning process;

• Represents what the student acquire as habits, skills, knowledge, attitude, values and appreciation.
• Changes in behavioral patterns that are produced through experience.
•  Learning is achieved through teaching.

Therefore, Teaching is intended to learning, without learning teaching is incomplete. Learning is something natural we all human being have in common. So, there is a cycle of teaching and learning that involves four stages, and these stages are:

1. Build the context, understanding the role of the text and building the understanding of the topic.
2. Modeling the text, the structure of the text and the language and shape the meaning.
3. Teachers and students jointly constructing a text
4. The students independently write his own. 

Professional development is available to all teachers, the teachers have the opportunity to learn as they teach, and give the students a new vision of education. Therefore, Education is the most powerful weapon today to change the world, and if you are willing and determined to learn no one can stop you.

Improvement of Students' Behavior

I created this infograph, to improve the students behavior using a kind of technology called "eduflag" education. This application can enhance the communication between teachers and parents directly, updating the parents about the achievement and behavior of the student at school. This bridge action plan show us how how effective and successful this application will be in the future. This kind of application needs the training from parents and teachers for using this application. And finally, this will lead into and observation about the parents feedback toward the application. 

Becoming a teacher.

We all think that we know what it is like to become a teacher. We were all students at some point, but as students we may not even know what is involved in being a teacher. One example is the students vacation which is not always a full vacation for the teachers. Let's learn more about the career as an educator.

Every teacher has their duties. They have a lot of work to before and every class, so usually teachers spend their time planning lessons, preparing activities, grading papers and exams, preparing for the classroom, attending school meeting, developing their skills, among many other duties they have to do.

The advantages of being a teacher, is that they have a solid paycheck in the job market and economy. Teachers also have benefits life health insurance and retirement accounts. Of course, one of the biggest advantages of being a teacher is their passion to make a difference by acknowledging their students. On the other side, Teachers also have their disadvantages. Mostly seemed like some challenges but the disadvantages include, meeting student needs, difficult parents, conflicting directives or principals, school boards, the homework and the preparation time.

Concluding, teaching is the difference you make in the lives of your students. While there are plenty of challenges, the days where your lesson goes much better than planned, or a student mention you are the best teacher of all time, or when you help out a struggling student after some special demonstration. All this challenges are going to show you that teaching is a rewarding passion.

Advantages of Technology in the Workplace

Technology have been evolving with new software to solve problems companies may not even know yet. Business leaders can sometimes feel overwhelmed facing to much problems, so there is often a desire to stick with current technology and processes not to face a failure in the company.

By investing in technology, you are investing in growth for your company, and empowering employees to keep up and get ahead in a fast-paced world. Here are some areas where technology brings advantages in your workplace.

1. Speed, efficiency and agility.

In your office you goal is to speed up work processes, and giving your employees the latest resources, more time to focus on important work. Being able to respond to data and adapt to changes makes them have informed decisions quickly. 

2. Storage and Sharing.

Employees should never have to waste time looking for old files, documents or old information. Technology can make you information storage and sharing vital, not only for efficiency but also for security. 

3. Mobility and Connectivity.

Many companies accessing work from different policies needs to be able to access technology systems remotely. But applying the newest technology it allows them to connect with best talent all over the world instantly. 

4. Automation.

Another advantage of new technology, is that it allows companies to work functions that past that requires employees. Data entry and analytics, contact management can be completely automated and allow the business to work more efficiently without occurring the risk of human error.

5. communication.

The reason computers replaced typewriters, and emails replaced paper mail and faces is because communication is King. Looking for ways to improve and accelerate communication is key.

Investing in new systems to help keep the communication between both clients and vendors is to make sure they are both in the same loop.

" As in teaching in school workplaces, I think that using technology is way more safer and useful for a better work. Making technology as a part of it makes it more intellectual and sometime in classes it makes them more fun."

The Journey Towards my Career Life

After 4 years of full attention toward my major which was Biochemistry in the Lebanese International University (LIU), during the business job fair I had a great chance applying to certain companies. Luckily, I got a chance of being interviewed at Poppins company in Mansoura- West Bekaa, and what most got their attention in my CV was the fact that I participated in a Science Fair, under the topic Antimicrobial efficiency of toothpaste in reducing oral bacteria and won first place; which leaded directly to my position as a Microbiologist Analyst. Working at Poppins is great, I have been learning so much since I started working there as my first job, I got to meet new people who had a lot more experience than me, so I totally had the chance to lean more and more from them.

As a microbiologist analyst, my work at the industry is to make sure of the safety of the products, testing the product produced daily before sent to the markets, I also tend to examine the water used in the process, also  examine the cleanse of the surfaces and  inspectors from any type of bacteria that could be found.

I tend to manage my life, in between my work, and my time needed at university. It has been a hard to manage the time but also a great experience at the same time until now, and I hope one day I will achieve everything I plan for.

Parkinson Disease

Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.
In the early stages of Parkinson's disease, your face may show little or no expression. Your arms may not swing when you walk. Your speech may become soft or slurred. Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time.
Although Parkinson's disease can't be cured, medications might significantly improve patients' symptoms. Occasionally, the doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve Patients' symptoms.

Symptoms

Parkinson's disease signs and symptoms can be different for everyone. Early signs may be mild and go unnoticed. Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side, even after symptoms begin to affect both sides.

Parkinson's signs and symptoms may include:

• Tremor. A tremor, or shaking, usually begins in a limb, often your hand or fingers. You may a rub your thumb and forefinger back-and-forth, known as a pill-rolling tremor. Your hand may tremor when it's at rest.

• Slowed movement (bradykinesia). Over time, Parkinson's disease may slow your movement, making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming. Your steps may become shorter when you walk. It may be difficult to get out of a chair. You may drag your feet as you try to walk.

• Rigid muscles. Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body. The stiff muscles can be painful and limit your range of motion.

• Impaired posture and balance. Your posture may become stooped, or you may have balance problems as a result of Parkinson's disease.

• Loss of automatic movements. You may have a decreased ability to perform unconscious movements, including blinking, smiling or swinging your arms when you walk.

• Speech changes. You may speak softly, quickly, hesitate before talking. Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections.

• Writing changes. It may become hard to write, and your writing may appear small.

Causes

In Parkinson's disease, certain nerve cells (neurons) in the brain gradually break down or die. Many of the symptoms are due to a loss of neurons that produce a chemical messenger in your brain called dopamine. When dopamine levels decrease, it causes abnormal brain activity, leading to symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

The cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown, but several factors appear to play a role, including:

• Your genes. Researchers have identified specific genetic mutations that can cause Parkinson's disease. But these are uncommon except in rare cases with many family members affected by Parkinson's disease.
  However, certain gene variations appear to increase the risk of Parkinson's disease but with a relatively small risk of Parkinson's disease for each of these genetic markers.

• Environmental triggers. Exposure to certain toxins or environmental factors may increase the risk of later Parkinson's disease, but the risk is relatively small.

• The presence of Lewy bodies. Clumps of specific substances within brain cells are microscopic markers of Parkinson's disease. These are called Lewy bodies, and researchers believe these Lewy bodies hold an important clue to the cause of Parkinson's disease.

• Alpha-synuclein is found within Lewy bodies. Although many substances are found within Lewy bodies, scientists believe an important one is the natural and widespread protein called alpha-synuclein (a-synuclein). It's found in all Lewy bodies in a clumped form that cells can't break down. This is currently an important focus among Parkinson's disease researchers.

Researchers have also noted that many changes occur in the brains of people with Parkinson's disease, although it's not clear why these changes occur. These changes include:

Risk Factors

Risk factors for Parkinson's disease include:

• Age. Young adults rarely experience Parkinson's disease. It ordinarily begins in middle or late life, and the risk increases with age. People usually develop the disease around age 60 or older.

• Heredity. Having a close relative with Parkinson's disease increases the chances that you'll develop the disease. However, your risks are still small unless you have many relatives in your family with Parkinson's disease.

• Sex. Men are more likely to develop Parkinson's disease than are women.

• Exposure to toxins. Ongoing exposure to herbicides and pesticides may slightly increase your risk of Parkinson's disease.
