JEE Main Day time v/s Night time studies
The document discusses the pros and cons of studying in the morning versus at night. It notes that some people believe morning hours are best for absorbing concepts, while others feel late-night studying leads to better marks. However, it argues that the most important thing is dedicating sincere study time, regardless of whether one is a "lark" or "owl". It also compares advantages and disadvantages of daytime versus nighttime study, such as less distractions at night but a fresher mind in the morning. Overall, it emphasizes sticking to a routine, managing time well, taking notes, and getting sufficient rest.
Mark Schlichting
The document discusses designing for early childhood development, focusing on children ages 3-6. It notes that this age group is primarily right-brained, non-linear thinkers who are non-readers or emerging readers. They love cute characters, animals, slapstick humor, and exploring through play, which comes naturally to help them learn about the world. When designing digital toys or content for this age, some keys are to make it attractive, highly responsive, keep animations short, empower children with a sense of control, get to rewarding content quickly, include cute surprises, and have a responsive, intuitive interface that allows accidental success while also incorporating humor.
Toca Boca
This document summarizes research conducted by Björn Jeffery on Toca Boca apps. It explores why research is important, provides background on the founders, and examines key areas of strategy, technology, and types of play.

Lessons learned are that research gives direction, not answers, and risks are required when making decisions based on limited information.
Unit 1 research methods worksheet for year 10
The document discusses different research methods for creating a new media product, including primary, secondary, quantitative, and qualitative research. It defines each method and lists advantages and disadvantages. Primary research involves doing the work yourself, which allows sole focus but less overall work. Secondary research uses a team which allows more work to be done quicker but could lead to arguments or lost work. Quantitative research uses others' knowledge but risks incorrect information. Qualitative research gets customer feedback, with positive feedback providing useful research but negative feedback invalidating the research.
Interviewing
This document provides tips for conducting interviews for news stories. It recommends determining the angle and purpose of the story before interviewing. The main points are to interview the primary subject of the news, an expert, and a secondary source. Questions should be prepared in advance and be open-ended. The interviewer should listen for storytelling quotes and opinions from sources. Avoid impersonal methods like emailing questions. Follow up with sources after to verify quotes and leave the door open for future questions. Thank sources for their time and properly file notes.

Theamazingapp
The document discusses the innate human ability to question as a powerful "app" that helps people navigate challenges and problems. It notes that questioning peaks around age 4-5 but is often underused by adults. However, embracing curiosity and a beginner's mindset can help people explore possibilities through questions like "why", "what if", and "how". This process of thoughtful questioning uncovers insights and opportunities, aids innovation, and helps address complex issues. Therefore, mastering the art of questioning through conscious practice is described as an invaluable lifelong skill.
