Best Ways to Use Facebook as a College Student
Best Ways to Use Facebook as a College Student pexels.com Facebook Groups Facebook is all about being social, making connections, and networking. So why not have a meeting of the minds with people interested in the same things as you? There are millions of Facebook groups out there that can be tailored to exactly what you might be interested in. You can connect with people in your area, with people from your school, with those interested in the same extracurricular activities, and more! You can stay up to date with the latest trends in that field or area with conveniently placed threads from the group popping up through your newsfeed. If that is too much for you, you can change your notification settings or how the information from the group pops up in your everyday timeline. You can set it so that you only learn what is going on in the group if you decide to go directly to the groupâs page. It is up to you. Whatever you are looking for, though to have a dialogue, to meet new people, to advertise yourself Facebook groups can be a great way to do it. Do you have events you want to advertise? Why not join groups that are filled with people that are interested in those kinds of events and share it with them? It could be just what they are looking for too. Not sure what classes to take? Why not join a student group of your peers who have been grappling with the same decisions for advice? You never know who or what you might stumble upon to help you move forward. pexels.com Business Pages If there is something you do or something you want to help advertise, it can be really beneficial to make a Facebook page for it! I am not talking about a page for memes or something, though it needs to be something that can really help your career (unless creating a page for memes can somehow help you). Do you have an organization that you want to help become more widely known? You can make it a business page, whether it is for a student organization you are a part of or a business that you work for or own. Creating a page does not cost money (unless you choose to pay for ads) and it creates a direct link between you and the audience you either have or want to have. You can help it to branch out and connect with the people who are interested and want to support your work as well as getting the word out about what exactly it is that you are doing. If you want to market yourself, you can create a professional business page for yourself that keeps people in the loop about what you are doing professionally. That way you can avoid feeling like you are bragging on your personal page and can help create a distance between your professional and social lives. Announcements Milestones You often have a great network of peers and friends at your disposal on Facebook. But is everyone aware of what you have been up to? Of course not! You cannot expect everyone in your Facebook network to know exactly what you are doing and what you plan to do. But without knowing that, how can they be involved or support you? Whether or not it feels like bragging, you can certainly let your friends on Facebook know when you have accomplished something or hit a milestone. Just got a job that you are really excited about? Post about it. Just got awarded a grant for a research project? Share the details of what you are working on. Super passionate about a cause? Do not be afraid to share who you are, what you are doing, and what you stand for loud and proud. Or, if you do not feel comfortable making a post, you can create a milestone event. That way even in the future, you can track and look back at all the great accomplishments you made and when.

Learning, Translated 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning
Learning, Translated 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning Learning, Translated: 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning Sitting on a beach or in a coffee shop in some far-flung place. Showing everyone how interesting you are by reading Camus or Cervantes or Murakami in the original language.Isnt it a beautiful image?Of course, the actual experience of trying to read books in a foreign language is not usually so beautiful.My early attempts to read in my target language meant a novel propped open with one hand and a dictionary with the other. It was slow and difficult. In the end, I gave up.Thanks to modern tech such as the overlord of e-book readers, the Amazon Kindle, such tribulations are no longer necessary.The Kindle certainly has its haters among the literarily inclined, who prefer the feel and smell of a real paper-and-ink book. But love it or hate it, theres no denying that the Kindle is a fantastic tool for polyglot bookworms.Unlike with those early attempts and flicking back and forth with a reference book, the power to define and translate new vocabulary is, literally, in the palm of your ha nd. Whats the Big Idea? What You Need to Know About Kindles Translation FeatureThe first thing to note about Kindles translation feature is that it only works with certain models of the Kindleâ"specifically ones with a touch screen, like the Paperwhite or Kindle Fire.These offer the opportunity to see the definition of words while youre reading simply by holding your finger on the word you want to look up, provided you have the correct dictionary installed. There are Kindle-friendly monolingual dictionaries in many languages and bilingual dictionaries in common language pairs.Additionally, some versions of the Kindle will keep track of words youre learning for you, a feature that works great in conjunction with the FluentU Plus plan. FluentU takes real-world videosâ"like movie trailers, music videos, news and inspiring talksâ"and turns them into personalized language lessons. With the Plus plan, you can create custom multimedia flashcard sets with your Kindle vocab lists in an instant: All you need to do is type the words in.There are some limitations to Kindles translation abilitiesâ"for example, you can only translate single words rather than longer idioms and phrasesâ"but the Kindle is a powerful tool to get reading in your target language. Lets take a look at how.Learning, Translated: 5 Steps to Kindle Language Learning1. Make sure you have the correct dictionary installed.The first thing you need to do is to choose the appropriate dictionary for your language learning. If youre early in your language learning, a bilingual dictionary might be most appropriate to give you the direct translation of words. If youre a more advanced learner, its better to use a monolingual dictionary and translate yourself.Not sure how to find a dictionary or get started? This post will have you set up with your new Kindle dictionary before you know it.2. Select your reading material.Here are some key tips and things to know when selecting your reading material:As ever with choosing learning materials, make sure you choose material of an appropriate grade. Its tempting to try the challenge of jumping into a novel like Ulysses, but a surefire way of making yourself give up is to select something too tricky!If you search on Amazon for graded reader in your target language, youll see some options for language learners of different levels. These are particularly useful if youre still in the early stages of learning a language and would feel more comfortable with something targeted at beginners.Remember that a genre like literary fiction is likely to have complex vocabulary and metaphorical expressions that can be particularly difficult to work out. If youre still an intermediate reader, consider non-fiction genres like biographies, where texts are likely to be more direct and descriptive.Choose something you would be interested in in your first language. If you have to spend weeks translating a sci-fi novel when you only read romance, it wont be rewar ding for you.There are plenty of options for free texts on the Amazon site. Simply use the check boxes on the left-hand side in the Kindle Store to select the language you want and then sort by price from lowest to highest. Usually these texts are ones that have been around for long enough to be exempt from copyright laws, so just be aware that the language may not be as up-to-date as in a modern text.3. Start reading.Dont expect to understand every word right awayâ"after all, theres a reason why youre practicing reading! Itâs easy to get frustrated when there are key parts of the text that you dont fully understand, but its important to be patient. Reading to learn a language is naturally going to be more difficult than reading for pleasure in your mother tongue, but it will be all the more rewarding for that reason!So, when you first come to a word you dont know, try to understand it from context. Think about cognates or similarities to words youve seen before, and if that does nt help, then simply try to think of the things that would make sense in that place.Dont stop there. The more you interrupt your reading, the more disjointed it will feel and the easier it will be for you to get bored and want to stop. Read to the end of the sentence, paragraph or even page.Try to summarize to yourself the meaning of what you just read, then go back and read it again.This time, when you get to the unfamiliar word, tap on it to check the dictionary definition or translation into your language. Go back and re-read sentences and paragraphs to make sure you can translate them properly.4. Review!As we know, its all well and good to see new wordsâ"but they arent going to stick just from seeing them once. Perhaps youre the type who, when reading in your target language, scribbles notes and translations all over the page. Kindle has a note-taking feature, but theres something you can do thats even better.A really handy feature for using your Kindle as a language learning t ool has been introduced for the Paperwhite: Vocabulary Builder. Heres how to use it:When you look a word up by placing your finger on it, its automatically added as a flashcard to your vocabulary list. When you want to review, just select the menu from any book and select Vocabulary Builder. Youll see a list of the words youve looked up.Scan the words and try to remember their meanings. Then click on each word to see the definition. You can also tap Usage to see the context it was used in when you looked it upâ"the full sentence from the book.You can also work it the other way around. Tap Books at the top of the screen to see a list of books in which youve looked up words. You can then see the list of words you wanted to translate in that book. That means if you want to go over the vocabulary in the most recent book you read, its all there for you in one place.When you want to test yourself, tap Flashcards at the bottom. Youll be shown the words in your Vocabulary Builder in a rand om order, alongside the full sentence from the book you looked it up in. Try to remember the meaning and then check the definition to see if you were right. When you think youve fully learnt the word, you can click Mark as Mastered and the word will no longer appear as a flashcard.If your version of the Kindle doesnt have this feature, recreate it yourself. Keep a list of the words you had to look up and, at the end of each chapter you read, go over them again. If you cant remember the word, go back to the chapter, find it and use the context to remind yourself. You could even go so far as to create the flashcards for yourself!5. On to the next one.Its great how a Kindle shows you the progress youve made with your reading. Youll have a full shelf of foreign-language books in your pocket in no time.Happy reading!And One More ThingExcited to jump into language learning? Then youre going to love learning with FluentU!FluentU makes it possible to learn languages from music videos, comm ercials, news and inspiring talks.

10 Steps How to Awake Childs Interest in Study
10 Steps How to Awake Childâs Interest in Study Learning is a long process which starts from mastering basic skills, continues at school, college, university and in fact lasts during all humanâs life. That is why it is vitally important for parents from the very beginning to make study as exciting and interesting as possible and to waken and support childâs interest in gaining new knowledge and education. It is not that difficult, here are some tips that can help to urge the cognition of a young student. 1. Start all-round development from childhood. If kid has got accustomed to comprehend new information every day since the first years of life he will easily adapt to school study program and will avoid many stressful factors. 2. Assist your child in study and stimulate any cognitive activity but do not go too far. Parents may participate in solving educational problems, however they must never do the tasks for children and must not deliver kids from study load at all. 3. Display sincere interest in your little studentâs study. Convince a junior that you are also interested in subject he is struggling with and the firm grasp of knowledge is major than the test results. Realizing the significance of the study discipline is more effective motivation than chasing for high grades. 4. Invent a system of encouragements. Every youngster is an individual and you must find good motivation for study which is most attractive for your child. No matter what say the proponents of birches and threatening but a positive stimulation, such as some active game, delicious snack or favorite TV show after successfully done homework, are undoubtedly more beneficial. Negative emotions caused by punishments for study failures can result in steady hostile attitude to everything connected with education. 5. Be honest with a child. Have a heart-to-heart talk. Ask a child if there anything for the sake of what he/she is ready to get down to study. Discuss with him what can happen if everybody stop learning and what are the advantages of being well-educated person. Explain that when children grow up they can choose the occupation which they like most of all but they need to learn many subjects in order to select the best profession. 6. Train the discipline. Learning is not possible without spending long hours in libraries, reading books, watching documentary moves and cramming. It is necessary to teach youngster to be disciplined and the best way to do this is to offer him hobby or any activity enjoyable but requiring some responsibility. This can be a pet, hamster or a kitten, that needs feeding and care every day or some plants in the garden or in pots that require proper watering and fertilizing. 7. Explore new ways to wake up interest to study. Childrenâs interests and wishes change with age and all attractions lose their former fascination with time. Do not forget to update your encouraging arsenal. 8. Involve new technologies into study process. There are many computer games, applications and high-tech toys that help to develop various skills from elementary reading, writing and calculus till strategic thinking. These tutoring tools can turn boring study into fun. You may even present this kind of learning as a reward for well-done home work. 9. Be patient. It often happens that young people come to understanding of importance of education and acquire thirst for knowledge by themselves. This can happen in elementary school, in middle school or in college and the conscious juniors quickly make up for lost study program. 10. Apply for help of professional tutor when needed.

How to Play Rockabilly Guitar 7 Easy Songs for Beginners
How to Play Rockabilly Guitar 7 Easy Songs for Beginners Megan L. Ready to learn about rock and rolls cousin from the south? If so, youre in the right place! In this article, music teacher Christopher S. explores some of the most influential rockabilly songs of our time and shows you how to play them on guitar The History of Rockabilly The rock and roll style, dubbed rockabilly, is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music. It dates back to the early 1950âs and comes from the good ol USA, especially from the south. Its a blend of sounds from Western musical styles like country, sometimes bluegrass styles, and that of rhythm and blues. The styleâs name in itself comes from the combination of ârockâ (from the 1950s) and âhillbillyâ music, a common term being used to describe country music of the 40s and 50s. This style was very important for the development of rock and roll music, and it was the basis and influence of many famous bands from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It was a style which was, in a sense, a rite of passage to play if you wanted to play rock and roll. The styles defining features include strong rhythms, vocal twangs, and often the use of tape echo. It also tends to have fast lyrics and distorted guitars, which gives it a progressive feel, thus attractibg the ears of young listeners. Notable Rockabilly Players The first major artists to be associated playing rockabilly music were Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Bob Luman, and Jerry Lee Lewis. The style started a legacy of rock and roll which spawned a variety of sub-styles and influencing styles such as punk rock. If you want to play rock and roll the way famous guitarists such as Jimi Page, Jeff Beck, and Jimi Hendrix did, then you have to learn, at minimum, the basics and some songs by the very first rock and rollers who played rockabilly. Here are seven rockabilly songs that are easy to learn and will teach you how to play rockabilly guitar. 1) Hello Mary Lou by Ricky Nelson This song was recorded and released in 1961 in California. Although its one of the later and poppier songs in our timeline of rockabilly music, this song is easy to play on the guitar and makes for a good intro to the musical style. Below is a guitar tab showing how to play it. Youâll notice most of the song is played with chords. You just have to get that good country guitar rhythm down, and then theres a short but sweet solo to learn. 2) Be-Bop-A-Lula by Gene Vincent and His Blue Caps This song is a classic and probably one of the slower tunes of the rockabilly scene. It has a very swampy but typical singing style with country-influenced twangy guitar sounds. Below is the chord chart for the song. The strumming is a very simple down strum on the beat of a 4/4 rhythm. Its a very easy song to learn because of its slow tempo. 3) Train Kept A-Rollinâ by Johnny Burnette and The Rock and Roll Trio This is a great song because it really shows the rebellious side of the rockabilly sound and its true roots as the precursor to rock and roll. It begins with a rockinâ guitar lick and strummed chords with the rumbling sound and rhythm of a train. This song was considered almost a rite of passage for bands to play in the 70s and 80s. The well-known band The Yardbirds, with guitarists Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, also made this song well-known in the late 60s. The easy part about this song is that you can almost get away with playing the chords by using only the top and the bottom string. Below is the intro riff and the chord charts. 4) Whole Lotta Shakinâ Going On by Jerry Lee Lewis This is another great tune that was a hit in 1957. The song acutely has its compositional origins from a pianist and club owner named Dave âCurleeâ Williams however, Lewis had been performing it and he released it on his recording session for Sun Records which made it hit the Billboard magazine charts. The chords are played with piano but there are guitar licks and chord figures strumming throughout. Below are the tabs for the guitar parts. 5) Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins This is a very well-known rockabilly song released in 1955, made infamous by the one and only, Elvis Presley. It was released only a year after the Carl Perkins version. This song is very easy to play because its mostly stop and go chords. It has a driving bluesy rhythm, which is easy to strum. Below are the chords to Elvis Presleyâs version of the song. This would be a good version to learn because its the one that most people will recognize. 6) Ooby Dooby by Roy Orbison This is yet another classic, well-known tune by a classic artist. This song was released again by Sun Records. It has a swampy blues rhythm and sounds great at both slow and faster tempos. Roy was even known to perform this song at various tempos. The original has some great rockabilly licks that, if youre learning this style of guitar, theyre essential licks to learn! Below are the tabs for this song. 7) Twenty Flight Rock by Eddie Cochran This is a comical song which was actually released in the comedy film titled The Girl Canât Help It in 1956. Its a song about a man who is complaining about seeing his girlfriend who lives on the 20th floor of an apartment build with no elevator. Its a very cool song and actually was the song that got Paul McCartney into the Beatles. McCartney retells the story of how, at the auditions to enter the Beatles, he played that song and John was so impressed that he actually knew all the words to Twenty Flight Rock that he got the spot. Either way its a great song to learn when learning the rockabilly genre. Below are the tabs for this one. So whether youre just starting to learn the guitar or youre already a skilled guitarist, I hope these songs will get you strumming and picking away at the rockabilly music that came from the 50s and 60s.
