Share Tweet Share Share Email Education is evolving, and technology is at the forefront of this transformation. In this interview, Chris Bressi of Downingtown, PA, shares his insights on how interactive learning is shaping the classroom experience and how educators can effectively integrate technology to foster student engagement, critical thinking, and deeper subject understanding. Chris Bressi on the Evolution of Learning: Beyond Traditional Pedagogies Q: Chris, how do you see the traditional model of teaching evolving with the integration of technology? Chris Bressi: Traditional teaching methods have often relied on a one-way flow of information from the teacher to the student. But with the advancement of technology, we now have the tools to move toward a more dynamic, participatory learning approach. Interactive learning enables students to actively engage with the material, transforming them from passive receivers into active participants. This shift not only enhances their understanding but also allows them to take ownership of their learning journey. Chris Bressi on the Engaged Classroom: Breaking the Mold with Technology Q: What role does technology play in creating an engaged classroom? Chris Bressi: Technology has the power to break down traditional classroom walls, allowing students to become contributors, not just consumers, of knowledge. Tools like interactive whiteboards, educational apps, and online collaboration platforms make lessons more interactive, engaging, and adaptable to different learning styles. Technology opens up endless possibilities for teachers to create an inclusive and active learning environment where students can collaborate, discuss, and explore concepts in new ways. Chris Bressi on the Benefits of Interactive Learning: A Holistic Approach to Education Q: How does interactive learning benefit students and their overall education? Chris Bressi: The benefits of interactive learning are multifaceted. It leads to increased engagement, as multimedia content, simulations, and gamified learning experiences grab students’ attention and keep them involved. This helps create a more dynamic and enjoyable learning environment. Moreover, interactive tools make complex concepts, such as those in science and math, more accessible by visualizing abstract ideas. Through virtual experiments or 3D models, students can better grasp difficult concepts and apply their knowledge more confidently. Personalization and Collaboration in Interactive Learning Q: Can you speak about the impact of interactive learning on personalization and collaboration in the classroom? Chris Bressi: Absolutely. Interactive learning platforms allow for a more personalized experience by adjusting content to a student’s progress. This adaptive learning ensures that each student gets the right level of challenge, allowing them to advance at their own pace. Furthermore, online collaborative tools enhance teamwork, communication skills, and peer-to-peer learning. Even in virtual environments, students can work together on group projects, fostering a sense of community and building collaborative skills. Chris Bressi on Real-world Applications of Interactive Learning Q: How does interactive learning help students connect classroom concepts to real-world scenarios? Chris Bressi: One of the most powerful aspects of interactive learning is its ability to link academic concepts with real-world applications. By using practical scenarios, students can see how what they learn in the classroom translates into real-life situations. This approach not only makes learning more engaging but also helps students develop critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and practical knowledge that they can use in their future careers. It also helps them understand the broader impact of their education on the world, creating more informed and responsible citizens. Chris Bressi on the Effective Integration of Interactive Learning Technologies Q: What steps should educators take to effectively integrate interactive learning technologies into their classrooms? Chris Bressi: There are several key factors for successful integration. First, educators must be trained in how to use these technologies effectively to maximize their potential. Ongoing professional development is essential. Second, ensuring access to technology for all students is critical, whether that means providing devices, ensuring a reliable internet connection, or addressing any disparities to create an inclusive environment. It’s also important to strike a balance between technology and traditional methods. Technology should complement, not replace, traditional teaching strategies. Finally, educators should continuously assess the effectiveness of their approaches and adjust based on feedback and evolving needs. Chris Bressi on Empowering the Learners of Tomorrow Q: What does the future of education look like with the increasing use of interactive learning? Chris Bressi: The impact of interactive learning is transformative. By integrating technology, we can create classrooms where students are not just passive recipients but active learners who are curious, critical thinkers, and well-prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. As we embrace these technologies, we’re taking significant steps toward empowering students, making education more engaging, relevant, and impactful. This shift not only prepares students for the future but also inspires and equips them to thrive in an ever-changing world. Chris Bressi’s insights provide a clear vision of the future of education—one where technology is harnessed to create dynamic, engaging, and personalized learning experiences that prepare students for the complexities of the modern world. By emphasizing the importance of interactive learning, Chris advocates for an educational environment where students are empowered, involved, and well-equipped to succeed.

Oti Mabuse recently competed in the 2024 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! , making it to the final but ultimately finishing in fourth place. Oti is best known as a former professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing . Just one week after leaving the Australian outback, Oti appears to have already set her sights on her next venture. This weekend, Oti will try her luck on the celebrity edition of Stephen Mulhern's Deal or No Deal, selecting boxes and hoping all the nasty surprises were left behind in the Aussie jungle. Oti will appear on the show alongside her sister, Motsi Mabuse , who is also a renowned professional dancer. Joining the lineup are Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood, Dancing On Ice legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, ice skater Sylvain Longchambon, and Bad Education actor Layton Williams . This celebrity installment is part of four special episodes in the second season of the revamped game show, airing Sunday at 7 p.m. on ITV1 and ITVX. The mum-of-one lit up as she stepped out of her taxi to a crowd of supporters . Love Island star Maura Higgins was the first to embrace her, followed by a swarm of past contestants who showered her with affection. Radio host Dean McCullough leaned in to whisper a warm greeting, while boxer Barry McGuigan gave a playful bow to welcome her into the group. As applause filled the hotel lobby, podcaster GK Barry and Loose Women ’s Jane Moore also greeted her with enthusiasm. Coronation Street star Alan Halsall rounded out the warm reception, sharing a heartfelt hug with the dancer. But it was Radio 1 DJ Melvin Odoom who had the most emotional reunion with Oti. The pair energetically embraced after bonding in the jungle, and other friends and family watched on as the small group of celebrities cheered. Oti then began to cry and was seen wiping the tears away from her eyes. The pair had described each other as being 'like family' in the show, with Oti coming to Melvin's aid when he felt ready to quit. Maura began chanting Oti's name, and the clapping and cheering did not stop until a show executive intervened to drag the dancer away from the crowd. As Oti left the entrance, Maura appeared to wipe away tears as the group went back to chatting among themselves. Noticeably absent was N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos who has reportedly returned to the UK after being left overwhelmed by her time in the jungle. Oti had several deep and meaningful chats with her campmates during the show . During one episode, she opened up on the personal hardships she has faced, especially recently, after giving birth to her one-year-old daughter, who was born premature at just 28 weeks in November 2023. Speaking about the traumatic birth - and people recognising her in the hospital because she is famous - Oti confessed: "I was having to still be my usual, bubbly self. But I wasn't feeling bubbly inside. I just remember going to the shower and I was crying. I was just devastated, but nothing was wrong. I had a new baby, the midwives were amazing, my husband was there. It was like nothing was wrong, but everything was wrong."

Christmas is just around the corner and for many Brits, trying to think of a stocking filler for family or friends can be a real headscratcher especially if you have no idea what to buy them. Well, buying an Echo Dot during Amazon's Black Friday deal might be one of the cheaper and better alternatives - and here's why. I bought a family member a cheap Echo Dot last year for a family member who was very anti-tech. And by "anti-tech" I mean I normally have to show them how to buy things online like eBay as well as regularly fix common computer issues like how to print out tickets and access their emails. Well, I thought it was time to introduce them to the 21st century and decided to buy them an Echo Dot for Christmas . READ MORE: Little-known deal gets B&M shoppers a £20 gift card to spend in-store for less than £4 READ MORE: 'Beautiful' Debenhams duvet with 'royal' feel and huge 70% off for Black Friday I was fully expecting them to thank me, try it out for Christmas and never speak about the thing again. Until I got a phone call a few weeks after Christmas asking how I could set them up with Amazon Music. Shocked, I went round and found they were absolutely in love with the device. They enjoyed listening to music and asking it different questions while around the house. And right now, Amazon is selling the Amazon Echo Dot for £22.99 as part of its Black Friday sale. There are also some great reviews from other buyers. One person said: "Out of the box, this product fees extremely quality. It has a nice weight to it and the materials used feel premium. Setup was extremely easy using the app and only took five minutes. "I use the dot throughout the day asking general questions, playing music etc quite often. It is extremely handy if I am busy and can’t reach my phone or my hands are full." But some people have vented frustrations with the device, especially with the voice control. One user said: "Bought it to play BBC Sounds. It just will not. Have tried everything possible that is suggested to rectify the problem but to no avail. "Have linked to my BBC account, have had emails to confirm, have re-set, unplugged, re-plugged, emailed BBC, unlinked and re-linked, re-routed and un-routed and still the bloody thing, when asked to play BBC Radio 4 or any BBC radio programme comes up with some random American radio station or a Kids Skills something or other or, even more annoyingly says ‘this is not supported’. "Driven to distraction and three hours of mounting temper and frustration, I shall just go back to my radio, and Alexa and her annoying little ball of pulsing lights can go back from whence she came. As someone said - a very expensive kitchen timer!" If you do not fancy an Echo Dot, there are some alternatives, however. Currys is selling the Echo Pop for £18.99 and might be a cheaper option if you want to save a few pennies. Or if you want a stylish DAB radio instead it's worth looking at the Roberts Revival Petite 2 DAB/DAB+/FM/BT Radio , now £92 at Debenhams.

Read unlimited articles for free today: Already have an account? MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t want to take chances with his family’s safety, so the Miami Dolphins’ star quarterback hired personal security when one of his cars was broken into about a year ago. “(It was) a little too close for my comfort with my family being in the house,” Tagovailoa said Wednesday. “So we got personal security to take care of all of that. When we’re on the road, we’ve got someone with my wife, got someone also at the house, surveying the house.” Tagovailoa, speaking days after the home of Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow was broken into while the Bengals were playing a Monday night game at Dallas, also noted his security is armed, “so I hope that if you decide to go to my house, you think twice.” Burrow’s home was the latest targeted in a string of burglaries of pro athletes’ homes in the U.S., which included the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Mahomes’ and Kelce’s homes were broken into in October, prompting the NFL to issue a security alert to teams and the players’ union warning that the houses of numerous pro athletes were “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups,” according to a memo previously obtained by The Associated Press. Law enforcement officials noted these groups target the homes on days the athletes have games. Players were told to take precautions and implement home security measures to reduce the risk of being targeted. Tagovailoa’s personal security has been in place since long before this string of break-ins. No one was injured in the Monday night break-in at Burrow’s home, but it was ransacked, according to a report provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. In the NBA, Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home broken into Nov. 2 and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr.’s home was burglarized on Sept. 15 while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game. Winnipeg Jets Game Days On Winnipeg Jets game days, hockey writers Mike McIntyre and Ken Wiebe send news, notes and quotes from the morning skate, as well as injury updates and lineup decisions. Arrives a few hours prior to puck drop. Portis had offered a $40,000 reward for information, and the NBA later issued its own memo revealing that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Some of the groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets, including attempted home deliveries and posing as grounds maintenance or joggers in the neighborhood, according to officials. Tagovailoa, who just signed an extension with the Dolphins last offseason, said he doesn’t necessarily feel like a target, “but I wouldn’t want to play the chances with my family and kids sleeping, my wife sleeping, me sleeping at the house.” ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Advertisement AdvertisementThe D3football.com Region 5 football team was announced Wednesday, and the Quad-Cities region was well represented. Among the local selections were three Augustana College standouts. Running back Mike DiGioia was a second-team offensive selection and teammates Joren Clem (kicker) and Breyden Smith (wide receiver/return man) were second-team specialists. Three former area prep standouts — Tucker Kinney, Kade Tippet, and Tevin Baker — played their way back onto the all-region team again this fall. NCAA Division III realigned Division III football into six regions in 2021. Region 5 includes the American Rivers Conference, the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW), the Midwest Conference and the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference. Kinney, a former Central DeWitt High School standout who is now a fifth-year senior at Wartburg, was a first-team offensive tackle selection. It was the third straight season he was named a first-team all-region selection. He helped the American River Conference champion Knights to a 10-2 mark this fall, their season ending last Saturday in a 24-14 home NCAA Division III playoff loss to Bethel University. Tippet, a senior on the Central College team and former North Scott High School prep, was selected as a second-team selection at offensive tackle, helping the Dutch to an 8-2 record. He was a third-team All-Region 5 selection last season. Baker, a fifth-year senior at Monmouth College from Kewanee, was a repeat second-team selection as a defensive end. The Midwest Conference Defensive MVP helped the Fighting Scots to an 8-3 record this fall as he finished with seven sacks, 16 TFLs and 11 pass breakups. This season marked the second in a row Augustana (4-6, 3-6 CCIW) had three players earn all-region spots. “Congrats to Mikey, Joren and Breyden,” Augie coach Steve Bell said in a social media post. “Tremendous men and so glad they got recognized for their outstanding talent on the field. Game changers for Augie football.” DiGioia (senior, Schaumburg, Illinois) was the CCIW's top rusher this past season, finishing with 1,055 yards and the only player in the CCIW to surpass the 1,000-yard mark. He also led the league in yards per game at 105.5 and was second in rushing touchdowns with 10. DiGioia is the first Augustana running back in 19 seasons to earn all-region honors. Clem (senior, Columbus, Ohio) is the first Augustana punter/kicker since 2011 to land all-region honors. He was 10-for-12 on field goals and had a long of 45 yards this year. He also served as the team's punter and was second in the CCIW in punts inside the 20-yard line with 14. Smith (junior, Arlington Heights, Illinois) led the CCIW in both total punt return yards (217) and punt return average (18.1) and was sixth in kick return yardage (440/23.2 yards per kick). On offense, Smith was top 10 in the conference in nearly all receiving categories, including fourth in both receptions (59) and receptions per game (5.9). There were 31 players from CCIW schools represented on the All-Region 5 team. Those selections included a pair of North Central standouts who earned both the offensive and defensive Region 5 Player of the Year honors. Cardinals’ quarterback Luke Lehnen earned the D3football.com 2024 All-Region 5 offensive honor for the second year in a row, and defensive tackle John Sullivan was the Region 5 Defensive Player of the Year. Lehnen (fifth-year, Chatham, Illinois) has completed 152 of 220 passes for 2,589 yards and 33 touchdowns against five interceptions. He has added 845 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on 68 carries, averaging 12.4 yards per carry. Sullivan (junior, Lake Villa, Illinois) has recorded 131⁄2 tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries and five sacks for the Cardinals this season. He has 50 total tackles, 28 of them solo, as well as a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a defense allowing 12.4 points per game this season. North Central coach Brad Spencer, who has led the Cardinals to a 12-0 record and another trip to the Division III national quarterfinals where they host Springfield College at noon Saturday, is the Region 5 Coach of the Year. It’s his first selection as a D3football.com regional Coach of the Year.
