As part of our survey of ed tech uses and perceptions in U.S. PreK-12 public schools, we asked teachers to name the digital learning tools that they use most often for the subject(s) that they teach. A teacher’s subject area was determined by the teacher noting their main subject area(s) taught. These charts outline the breakdown for those teachers who listed Math, ELA, Reading, or Science as their primary or secondary subject. The percentages within the bar charts reflect the percentage of teacher respondents within that category who named that particular tool as one of their most often used. We highlighted any tools that were named by 5% or more of teacher respondents within that category. The percentages in donut charts reflect how many times a tool was named relative to others within that specific grade band. We highlighted any tools that accounted for two percent % or more of all named tools within that category.
Note: readers should not interpret the results as an indicator of tool popularity or endorsement of particular tools. The survey - as well as this particular question - was not designed to rank tool preferences or quality within the educator population.

The environment to be observed is the preschooler classroom. Color has been used
efficiently in the classroom to enhance students' learning. The most dominant colors are yellow
and red, and these colors tend to bring excitement to children and increase their brain activity.
The floor covering is a mat that contains letters of the alphabet and the wall coverings have
different flags and shapes. The three recommendations for improvement in the classroom
environment are to incorporate natural light into the classroom, provide adequate materials for
learning and use more wall coverings to enhance children's learning and understanding.
The classroom lighting scheme should consist of both natural and artificial light. Both
students and teachers would benefit from incorporating natural light into the classroom. “Natural
light is shown to benefit the health, concentration and even test scores of pupils” (Cassidy et al,
2015). Architectural constraints may, however, limit the incorporation of natural light into the
classroom. there should be an optimum illuminance of light. This is because low illuminance
leads to reduced concentration while high illuminance affects the concentration of students
negatively.
Adequate learning materials should be provided such as lacing cards, wooden pattern
blocks, trace-n-erase chalkboards, LEGO blocks, puppets, Magna-tiles, and puzzles. “Using
puppets to talk to children adds an element of fun to teaching an important lesson” (Hirsh-Pasek
et al, 2017). Wooden block patterns would improve math learning amongst the students. Lacing
cards would be effective in helping children gain fine motor skills while the trace-n-erase
chalkboard would be useful in teaching students the letters of the alphabet.

LEVEL OF ENGLISH GRAMMAR PROFICIENCY OF SECONDARY TEACHERS IN ZONE 2, DIVISIO...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : Good grammar is the foundation of effectivecommunication, regardless of the country and the
language they are using.This research study identified the Level of English Grammar Proficiency of teachers.It
was conducted among Secondary Teachers of Zone 2, Department of Education, Division of Zambales during
the school year of 2022-2023. The study utilized a descriptive quantitative research design, a combination of
survey questionnaire and 80-item multiple choice test as research instrument; and descriptive and inferential
statistics for analysis of data. Findings revealed that most of the teacher-respondents were female middle adults.
The level of grammar proficiency of teacher-respondents was based on Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages (CEFR), the standard reference for English Proficiency Level. The level of their
proficiency in Word Order was proficient, Tense and Aspect was advanced, Determiners was proficient,
Connectors was proficient, Punctuation was proficient, Sentence Construction was upper intermediate, Parts of
Speech was proficient, and in Word Choice was proficient. Based on the results of the study, a plan was
developed to improve the level of English grammar proficiency of secondary teachers.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The NewSchools-Gallup Ed Tech Survey
In 2019, we partnered with Gallup to
conduct a survey to explore the use
and perception of ed tech more
broadly in the United States PreK-12
public school system. Gallup
reached a nationally representative
sample of 3,210 teachers, 1,163
principals, 1,219 district
administrators and 2,696 students.
Deliberate in its scale and rigorous in
its approach, this survey offers a
nuanced look at how ed tech is and
is not serving the needs of the
students, teachers, principals and
district administrators.

Exploring the Digital Learning Tools Most Often Used
As part of this survey, we asked teachers to name the digital learning tools that they
use most often for the subject(s) that they teach. A teacher’s subject area was
determined by the teacher noting their main subject area(s) taught. The following
charts outline the breakdown for those teachers who listed Math, English Language
Arts, Reading, or Science as their primary or secondary subject. The percentages
within the bar charts reflect the percentage of teacher respondents within that
category who named that particular tool as one of their most often used. We
highlighted any tools that were named by five percent or more of teacher respondents
within that category. The percentages in doughnut charts reflect how many times a
tool was named relative to others within that specific grade band. We highlighted any
tools that accounted for two percent or more of all named tools within that category.
Important to note is that readers should not interpret the results as an indicator of tool
popularity or endorsement of particular tools. The survey - as well as this particular
question - was not designed to rank tool preferences or quality within the educator
population.
