Calm

This is a good week to remind you of a simple resource to help you and your students. I have written about Calm before but it seems it is more important than ever. We all need to take moments each day to reset and breathe.

Calm can be used as an app on mobile devices or Apple TV but I find that the web interface offers more, and particularly like the Scenes feature which can be used for free. To do this:

-visit the website, linked above.
-login with Apple ID, Facebook or create an account with your email.
-in the left sidebar click Scenes and choose a scene. Some are more setting-based and some more ambient visuals. You can choose the volume of the audio that goes with the scene.

-click Calm in the upper left corner, then the scene itself (not the featured activities) to see it full screen.

Calm could be a great resource to help you meditate and breathe a few moments if you enjoy visuals for this kind of activity.

For students, same. Also consider a post activity for some of the more contextual visuals. What place you have visited did this scene remind you of (could then go there with Google Earth and get some more narrative/description from the students). What do you think you would experience with your 5 senses if you were actually in this location?

  8. When working on assignments, such as an annotated bibliography, that require detailed analysis and research, students can draw parallels between this immersive sensory experience and their academic pursuits. Just as they explore the nuances of this environment, they can delve into the intricacies of their chosen subjects. In both cases, the goal is to gain a comprehensive understanding, whether of a natural landscape or a scholarly field.To excel in their academic endeavors, students might also seek support from an annotated bibliography writing service https://bestwritinghelp.org/articles/annotated-bibliography-writing-service/ which can assist in compiling and organizing relevant sources while ensuring accurate citations and annotations. By effectively outsourcing this aspect of their work, students can allocate more time to engage with experiential learning opportunities like the one described earlier. This way, they can strike a balance between practical engagement and scholarly excellence, enhancing their overall educational journey.
