8 Steps for Strong Time Management for College Students

Learning How to Manage Your Time in College Can Be Critical for Your Success

Time management can be one of the best skills you learn while in college.

© 2008 Kelci Lynn licensed to About.com, Inc.

Within the first few days of starting college, many students quickly learn that managing their time is one of the most challenging -- and difficult -- aspects of being in school. With so much to do and keep track of, strong time management skills can make all the difference.

1. Get -- and use -- a calendar. It can be a paper calendar. It can be your cell phone. It can be a PDA. No matter what kind it is, though, make sure you have one.

2. Write down everything. Write down everything in one place. (Having multiple calendars just gives you more to do amidst an already tight schedule.) Schedule when you plan to sleep, when you are going to do your laundry, when you're going to call your parents. The crazier your schedule gets, the more important this becomes.

3. Schedule time to relax. Don't forget to schedule in time to relax and breathe. Just because your calendar goes from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. doesn't mean you can.

4. Keep trying new systems. If your cell phone calendar isn't big enough, buy a paper one. If your paper one keeps getting torn, try a PDA. If you have too many things written down each day, try color-coding to help simplify. Very few college students make it through their programs without some kind of calendaring system; keep trying until you find one that works for you.

5. Allow for flexibility. Things inevitably come up that you weren't expecting. You may not have known that your roommate's birthday is this week, and you certainly don't want to miss the celebrations! Leave room in your calendar so that you can move things around a little when needed.

6. Plan ahead. Do you have a large research paper due the last week of the semester? Work backward in your calendar and figure out how much time you need to write it, how much time you'll need to research it, and how much time you'll need to pick your topic. If you think you'll need six weeks for the entire project, work backward from the due date and schedule the time into your calendar before it's too late.

7. Plan for the unexpected. Sure, you just might be able to pull off two papers and a presentation during midterms week. But what happens if you catch the flu the night you're supposed to be pulling the all-nighter? Expect the unexpected so you don't have to spend more unplanned time trying to fix your mistakes.

8. Schedule rewards in. Your midterms week is a nightmare, but it will all be over Friday by 2:30. Schedule a fun afternoon and a nice dinner out with some friends; your brain will need it, and you can relax knowing that you're not supposed to be doing anything else.

Role play in early years settings

Role Play in Early Years Settings

By Julie Meighan

Role play is a very important part of a child’s education. The imagination is a powerful tool which as we know is innate in some children but needs encouraging in others. It is important that preschools provide children with the opportunity to develop their imagination. In order to accomplish this they have to equip the children with spaces, scenarios, props and the support they need to explore their real life or imaginary worlds. Imaginative play not only aids intellectual development but also improves children’s social skills and their creativity. In addition it gives children a chance to play out events that they have observed or experienced in real life.

Role play and everyday scenarios

Using the home as a setting for role play works extremely well with children as the home plays an important role in each young child’s life.

Setting up the role-play corner as a house may sound simple enough but unfortunately in lots of preschool certain things are over looked. You need to include all the tools needed for the role play to take place. If you wish to focus on hygiene you need to include the following props – a cloth, washing up bottle, tea towel, bin and sink or if you want them to focus on health and safety you need to get them to use oven gloves, trays, timers, hot pads, and towels.

Role plays and imagined worlds
These role plays take place in places where the children are very unlikely to visit such as the moon or under the sea and they can meet characters that they are very unlikely to meet such as a dragon or a talking bear.

An example of a role playing story that I find works well with young child is the Hungry tree. This is an excellent introduction to improvisation as the children are free to explore their imaginations. It also helps with their co-ordination skills.

Instructions to the Hungry Tree

The teacher tells the children the following story and the children have to improvise the movements in the story. The teacher gets the children to imagine that they are an adventurer who wants to go on an adventure. They have to pack up their bags. The teacher asks what they need in the bags. Children’s answers are usually for example water, sandwiches, sun cream, and sunglasses and so on. The children mime putting all these essentials into their bag and then mime all the actions in the adventure below…

The teacher says  ”Imagine you are walking quickly because you are so happy to be on your adventure. You see a mountain and decide you should climb it. The sun is getting hotter and hotter and you are getting tired. You get very, very tired. You wipe your brow to show how tired you are. You begin to climb slower and slower. You are very thirsty. You take out your water and take a drink. You put it back in your bag and climb the rest of the way up the mountain. Eventually you get to the top. You are exhausted, very hot and very hungry. You decide it is time for your picnic. You see a lovely tree and you go and sit under its shade. You eat your picnic and go for a nap. Then suddenly you wake up and see the treemoving towards you. The tree grabs you and you realise it is a very hungry tree and wants to eat you. You scream. You struggle. You fight the branches but you are getting weaker and weaker. Then suddenly the tree stops fighting for a moment. You get your chance to escape. You quickly grab your bag, and run back down the mountain. You get to the end and you don’t stop in case the hungry tree is running after you. You run all the way home, lock all the doors and hide under the table.”

In settings where both of these types of role play are offered, the play which develops is deeper, more complex and more intense, giving the children richer experiences. Allowing children to lose themselves
in role play engages them in play that is purposeful and produces such outcomes as sharing, turn taking, co-operation, improving hand eye skills and develops their vocabulary.

Importance of Play in Early Childhood

A child learns important lessons in life, like sharing, fair play, interpersonal communication, respect, and getting along when he plays with children of his own age group. This article gives a brief insight into the importance of play in early childhood.

A child is born with an innate talent and urge to learn new things through exploration and imitation. For instance, when a toddler attains the walking age, he does not like to be carried around. He insists on standing up and walking on his own tiny feet. As the little one grows, the parents should instill new skills and also teach him new things through play, as it becomes important for your child's intellectual, emotional, and social development.

Through play, kids learn about themselves and the world around. They grow into active and mature adults, who behave better and are aware of other people's feelings. They develop negotiation, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.

You could rightly say that play is an integral part of learning. In fact, it is a unique way of providing knowledge and values to our children and is an excellent mode for learning with fun and curiosity.

From the age of 18 months to three years, engaging your child in playful activities will help nurture his social, creative, linguistic communication skills and eventually, prepare him for school. When a child engages himself in hands-on playful activities at home, it helps to refine his listening and reasoning skills.

The Role of Play in Child Development
► Beats Obesity: Today, obesity is one of the most common problems among children. They are so glued to the television, or engaged in computer games that they hardly venture out. Also, kids are very addicted to eating junk food. Hence, it becomes really important that they invest some time playing outdoors every day. By engaging your child in outdoor games and playful exercises, he remains active and fit, thus curbing chances of childhood obesity.

► Better Brains: Introducing your child to mobile, video, or computer games at an early stage will not help in developing his physical and motor skills; instead running, or jumping would give you those results. For the brain to develop, he must be involved in outdoor and physical activities; only then will he learn about bonding, negotiating, sharing, and contributing in a group. This will not only promote moral values in your child, but will also help him to develop physically and psychologically.

► Good Sensory and Motor Skills: Indulging in outdoor games helps develop and coordinate the sensory and motor skills of a child. Your child can indulge in many multisensory activities that teach a child to understand and learn through touch, sight, and sound.

► Language Skills Improve: Singing along with your child, or engaging in activities involving rhyming words enhances his linguistic and vocabulary development. Experts opine that it is necessary to nurture verbal language skills in the early years of childhood rather than teaching word recognition and phonetics. By talking, singing songs, reciting poems, and storytelling, you enhance language skills in your child.

► Brings a Balance: An old English proverb goes like this -- All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Hence, parents should find time to balance playful activities in their child's life. Recall how you felt when you enjoyed climbing monkey bars, playing hopscotch, flying kites, building blocks, skipping, playing dressing up games or basketball, painting, or hide and seek. Playing should be all about having fun; introduce and incorporate these games in your child's schedule.

► Teaching Others: Have you ever noticed how little children teach other kids and get them involved in a particular game? Children, especially those around the age of three and above, begin to socialize with others of their own age group. This activity helps them grow, get involved, and teaches them to have a good time together.

► Math Genius: Play also helps to hone their numerical and mathematical skills. Children are able to grasp the concepts of math easily if started at an early stage. As a parent, it is your responsibility to develop this skill by engaging them in activities, such as counting the number of objects in a stack, teaching them relationships -- like short and long, big and small, more and less, etc.

► Overall Development: By playing, children are actually learning and preparing themselves for the challenges of adulthood. Your child would be emotionally fulfilled, relaxed, energized, and self-confident when he enjoys playing. His attention and concentration levels would also improve drastically. He would be eager to learn, explore, experiment, and imagine more. So, let your children play as it is essential for their optimal, emotional, intellectual, and creative development.

Parents and preschool educators have an important responsibility to shape the minds of our future generation by using play as a mode to impart moral values and other fundamentals to our children, right from kindergarten. Through play, children not only learn many new skills, but also develop self-esteem. One thing worth mentioning here is, parents must learn to respect the interests of their children and let them take the lead while playing. Play helps in developing a healthy and long-lasting relationship between a child and his parents. It also helps the parents gain an insight into the thought process of their kid.
