One of the best strategies is to make use of the time between classes. You can make good use of this by reading, writing, and even playing some fun and interactive mini-games. These can be as simple as looking out the window, drawing a doodle, or using a bracelet. It’s not as difficult as it sounds, as long as you are willing to put some effort into it.</p><p>The first and most obvious strategy is to not look at the clock. This will help your brain cells focus on other tasks, like actually learning something. For example, studying the material being taught in class. Having a study partner can also make the experience more enjoyable.</p><figure id="attachment_163" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-163" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-163" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-women-laughing.jpg" alt="three women laughing" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-women-laughing.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-women-laughing-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-163" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>One of the more exciting aspects of a class is to take notes and learn new concepts. To get the most out of this, try to find a topic that interests you. For instance, if you are studying quantum physics, you may want to find out what quantum entanglement is. But don’t get all huffy if you don’t like the topic. In the end, what’s most important is that you understand and absorb the information you are being provided.</p><p>Another trick to make your class more fun is to break up the day into manageable chunks. For instance, during your English class, you could break the class into three sections: reading, writing, and thinking. Not only will you be more attentive, but it will also go by more quickly.</p><p>While it is unlikely you will be able to accomplish a full day of school without breaking a sweat, a little planning can go a long way. You can make it a bit easier by bringing a music player to listen to between classes. Also, if you are in the mood for some mindless activity, you can always read a book. However, you won’t get the same pleasure from this if you are stuck at your desk all day.</p><figure id="attachment_164" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-164" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-164" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/woman-listening-music.jpg" alt="woman listening music" width="640" height="960" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/woman-listening-music.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/woman-listening-music-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-164" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Jair Medina Nossa on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>A small trick to get you started is to write down a list of things to do before class starts. This way, you won’t forget anything. And, the more you practice this, the more likely you will be able to come up with a workable routine. Of course, it’s also a good idea to stick to it, so that your mind remains fresh.</p><p>Keeping the lights turned on is another good tip. Most students are in a hurry to leave the classroom, so you might as well make the most of your time. Even if you have a late deadline, you can always bring a few snacks and a game to keep you entertained. Taking the time to learn and improve your study habits can pay off for years to come.</p><p>Finally, if you are in a tight spot, a study buddy is a great way to make the most of your day. Studying with a friend or study buddy makes the grueling task a lot more enjoyable.</p><p>Photo by Moritz Kindler on Unsplash</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Get a VPN on a School Chromebook</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-to-get-a-vpn-on-a-school-chromebook/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:03:48 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=126</guid> <description><![CDATA[There are many reasons why you need to protect your privacy, whether you use your school Chromebook or other device at home.

Whether you’re using your device on a shared network or privately, you should always use a virtual private network (VPN) to ensure that you are protected from hackers, spyware, and other forms of malicious activity.</p><h2>VPN bypasses content filters</h2><p>If your child is at school, you need to know how to bypass the content filters on his or her chromebook. You may have a few options for doing so, but the most reliable and efficient one is by using a virtual private network (VPN) to access the web.</p><p>A VPN is a specialized software application that allows a user to encrypt data and hide the identity of the user. Typically, a VPN is a standalone program that can be downloaded to an individual device.</p><p>In many school districts, content filters are used to block content, such as videos from YouTube. There are also more sophisticated filters that prevent users from accessing certain domain names and IP addresses.</p><p>To make sure that your child doesn’t stray from the academic path, you need to put in place a firewall and restrict access to unauthorized devices. Some of the ways that you can do this include deleting apps, checking for new (unapproved) apps, and restricting downloads from the App store.</p><figure id="attachment_143" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-143" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-143 size-full" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-holding-iphone-with-vpn.jpg" alt="person holding iphone with vpn" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-holding-iphone-with-vpn.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-holding-iphone-with-vpn-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-143" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>VPN replaces your real IP address</h2><p>Using a virtual private network, or VPN, is a secure way to access blocked sites on a school Chromebook. Without a VPN, criminals can easily access your personal information. Choosing a good VPN service is essential.</p><p>Most VPN providers have apps available for a range of devices. These include smartphones, smart TVs, routers, and PCs. You can download the app from the provider’s website, or from the App Store or Google Play.</p><p>Some VPN services have apps for Amazon Fire TV, Linux, and Chrome OS. NordVPN offers a powerful suite of mobile apps. Its setup guides are comprehensive, covering a variety of devices.</p><p>However, some free VPNs are rife with malware and may leave you vulnerable to trackers. They also lack authentication, making them less secure than a VPN.</p><p>When you connect to a site through a VPN, you’re using a new IP address. This new IP address is assigned by the VPN server, not your ISP.</p><h2>VPN keeps phishing and other scam attackers at bay</h2><p>A virtual private network (VPN) keeps phishing and other scam attackers at bay. It also bolsters your privacy by sending all internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel. You should consider a VPN for all your online activity, from browsing the web to streaming Netflix.</p><p>There are several companies out there offering the services, but you’ll have to do a little legwork to find the best deal. Some offer free service while others charge a monthly or yearly fee. The trick is choosing one with a stellar reputation.</p><p>While a VPN may be the only way to keep your information safe, it’s a small price to pay for a more secure online experience. Having a good VPN is the best way to make sure you can use your Chromebook without fear of compromising your personal information. With a little knowledge you can avoid scams like the plague.</p><p>While a VPN won’t give you the keys to the castle, it’s a good idea to learn about the best practices for protecting your data. Never give out your personal details to anyone who doesn’t have a legitimate business reason to ask for it. Also, be on the lookout for unscrupulous individuals who try to lure you to a shady website.</p><figure id="attachment_144" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-144" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-144" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-using-macbook-with-vpn.jpg" alt="person using macbook with vpn" width="640" height="360" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-using-macbook-with-vpn.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-using-macbook-with-vpn-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-144" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Dan Nelson on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>VPN prevents unauthorized use of devices</h2><p>A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a software application that enables users to connect securely and privately to the Internet. It allows users to encrypt data and hide their browsing history. This makes it impossible for other people or businesses to view the information.</p><p>Many teens are using VPN technology for a variety of reasons. Some are concerned about identity theft. Identity thieves can steal credit card numbers and rent a property in your name. Other cybercriminals may try to hack your computer and access your login credentials.</p><p>A VPN can protect you from identity theft. You can prevent your search history and other personal data from being viewed on public computers. Using a VPN is also important when you are using public Wi-Fi. Cybercriminals can easily steal your personal information when you are using unsecured Wi-Fi.</p><p>You can also use a VPN to bypass geo-restrictions. Many entertainment companies and internet service providers impose geo-restrictions on certain websites. With a VPN, you can access sites that are only available in other countries.</p><p>Photo by Brooke Cagle on Unsplash</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Be Cool in Middle School</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-to-be-cool-in-middle-school/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:03:10 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=123</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re a student in middle school, there are a few tips you should keep in mind.

It’s important to avoid wearing short skirts or thin tops. You also have to be aware of how you handle conflicts with others. Be careful with Internet bullying. And of course, make sure you praise others if you think they’re doing a good job.</p><h2>Resolve conflicts peacefully</h2><p>If your child is dealing with a conflict, it is important to resolve it peacefully. Not only will this improve the harmony of the home, but it will also strengthen the bond between you and your child.</p><p>One of the first steps toward peaceful conflict resolution is teaching children how to calm down. When they learn to manage their emotions, they can solve problems before they escalate. The better they do this, the easier it will be for them to deal with big, powerful feelings.</p><p>Middle school students often have conflicts with other students, their parents, and even themselves. They need to be given the opportunity to have their side of the story heard. This will allow them to grow into adults who can understand and appreciate others.</p><figure id="attachment_153" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-153" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-sitting-on-the-beach.jpg" alt="person sitting on the beach" width="640" height="960" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-sitting-on-the-beach.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/person-sitting-on-the-beach-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-153" class="wp-caption-text">Image by Unsplash+</figcaption></figure><h2>Avoid short skirts and thin tops</h2><p>There is no denying that short skirts and slender tops are fashionable and functional. However, you don’t have to break the bank to look good. The trick is to know what’s under your shirt and what is above it. With a little knowledge you can be the envy of the school. In fact, there are a few schools that have adopted this particular mantra. For example, Dover middle school has a dress code. And while you may not be able to wear shorts that go beyond your fingertips, you can wear a loose sweater or two to cover the aforementioned assets. Obviously, the best time to wear these items is during the summer months, when you can be both cute and comfortable.</p><h2>Deal with students who don’t respond to your praise</h2><p>Defiant students are not always easy to deal with. They may be the offspring of troubled parents, or have had to deal with a difficult home situation in the past. However, they are still kids and will make mistakes. Fortunately, there are some tips to help you keep the peace.</p><p>There are a number of strategies to help you deal with defiant students, but the most effective way to do so is to take a close look at your students and what they need. Once you’ve identified their needs, you can start building a positive rapport. This can be done in several ways, such as interacting with them one-on-one, getting them involved in the classroom, or simply being a good listener.</p><p>One strategy for dealing with defiant students is to get them to recognize the benefits of good behavior. Providing positive praise for correct student behavior is an effective way to boost self-esteem. The more reasons a student has to comply, the more likely he or she will be to do so.</p><figure id="attachment_154" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-154" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/company-of-friends.jpg" alt="company of friends" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/company-of-friends.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/company-of-friends-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-154" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Brooke Cagle on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Internet bullying can be hurtful</h2><p>Cyberbullying is a form of harassment that occurs through the use of computers, social networking sites, email, or instant messages. It can occur at school, in the community, or at home. Whether it is in person or online, it can be devastating to a victim.</p><p>Bullying and cyberbullying can be difficult to detect and may not come to light until the victim tells an adult. Some teens do not want to report their behavior, while others are reluctant to talk about it. If you have concerns about your teen’s behavior, you should seek help.</p><p>One of the first things you can do is teach your teenagers about the dangers of Internet bullying. You can also enlist the help of other parents or the community to support you.</p><p>Image by Unsplash+</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Get Letters of Recommendation When You’ve Been Out of School</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-to-get-letters-of-recommendation-when-youve-been-out-of-school/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:02:52 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=122</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re a current college student or a former one who’s looking to change careers, there are plenty of ways to get letters of recommendation when you’ve been out of school.

For this reason you may consider reaching out to second-degree contacts, such as your professors or alumni from your college days. This could help you learn more about the program you’re applying to and what it’s like to work there. It’s also a great way to expand your network.</p><p>Writing a good recommendation letter is a bit of a daunting task. You’ll need to proofread it carefully to avoid any grammar or spelling mistakes. That’s why it’s a good idea to give your recommender a certain amount of time to write your letter. The more time you give them, the better it’ll be.</p><p>The best way to ask for a recommendation is to be friendly and gracious. You can do this by emailing your recommender, but if you’re in a hurry you might want to try calling them up. They’ll probably be happy to help.</p><figure id="attachment_158" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-158" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-158" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/two-men-and-four-women-speaking.jpg" alt="two men and four women speaking" width="640" height="392" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/two-men-and-four-women-speaking.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/two-men-and-four-women-speaking-300x184.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-158" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Akson on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Ask professors</h2><p>If you are considering applying to graduate school, you may be wondering how to ask professors for letters of recommendation. Not every professor will be comfortable writing you a letter, and they might say no for a variety of reasons. However, you can still get a good recommendation from your professor if you follow a few simple steps.</p><p>Begin by visiting your professor’s office hours. Ask about his or her work and career goals. Explain why you are asking for a letter. Be sure to include your interests, academic and career plans, and any accomplishments you have achieved.</p><p>Next, prepare a document with all the information your professor will need. This includes a list of your courses, your grades, your resume, and a brief bio. In addition, you can include a copy of any papers you have written for him or her. You can also provide a copy of your most recent job posting.</p><p>It is also important to write a thoughtful email to your professor. If you have not seen him or her in a long time, it might be helpful to send a photo of yourself.</p><h2>Ask employers</h2><p>When you’re out of school and applying for your first job, you should know how to ask for a letter of recommendation. This letter can help you stand out from your competition. It can also boost your confidence.</p><p>Luckily, there are several steps you can take to make this task easy. Begin by drafting a list of people you know who are in a position to write a good letter. You can either email them or call them in person. Be sure to give them enough time to write it.</p><p>When writing the letter, be sure to focus on what the recommender thinks will be most helpful to the employer. For instance, they may ask for a specific skill or skill set.</p><p>Include your resume in the request, but don’t forget to send a cover letter with it. The cover letter should highlight your key strengths and qualifications.</p><p>A letter of recommendation isn’t always needed, but it can be a good idea to include it. It will help the selection committee see your worth and convince them to admit you.</p><figure id="attachment_159" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-159" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-159" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-men-laughing-looking-in-the-laptop.jpg" alt="three men laughing looking in the laptop" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-men-laughing-looking-in-the-laptop.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-men-laughing-looking-in-the-laptop-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-159" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Resubmit medical school recommendation letters</h2><p>When you are applying to medical school, you will need letters of recommendation. This can be a challenge. If you have been out of school for several years, you may have missed out on some opportunities. There are ways to get additional recommendations and improve your application.</p><p>Before you start, review your medical program requirements and find out how many recommendation letters you need. Some schools may require four or five. Others may only need two. In general, US medical schools will require at least two letters.</p><p>Medical schools also consider other aspects of your application. For example, your MCAT scores and GPA are also a factor in admissions decisions. It is important to keep these in mind when you are reapplying.</p><p>Medical school admissions committee members want to read letters from people who know you well. They want to see how you’ve grown and how you’ve improved. Your letter should speak to this and highlight your skills and abilities.</p><p><span class="rTNyH RZQOk">Photo by Debby Hudson on Unsplash</span></p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Make Friends in High School</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-to-make-friends-in-high-school/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:01:39 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=114</guid> <description><![CDATA[There are plenty of ways to make friends in high school.

Another one is to simply participate in conversations. Other methods include sharing your secrets and surrounding yourself with people who are kind.</p><h2>Making the first move</h2><p>The secret to making friends is a matter of letting others in. There is nothing worse than being the only person in a room. The first year of college may be the most excruciating time of your life, but it isn’t all bad once you get over the hump. Make the most of the time with your favorite girls and guys. The best way to do this is to let the pros do the talking. Whether you are a fresh grad or a seasoned pro, the school has a plethora of ways to make friends. Some of the more popular venues include: campus dining, campus clubs, and sports teams. Besides, it’s a great way to meet new people and make new friends. After all, your new buddies are a great resource for learning about the latest trends and fads.</p><h2>Participating in conversations</h2><p>Making friends in high school can be a tricky business. It’s one thing to meet someone new in class, but it’s another to keep them. To do that, you need to put in some work. Here are some tips to help you get started.</p><p>Getting involved in clubs and activities at school is a great way to make friends. Asking people about what they’re interested in can be a good way to start a conversation. You can also use sports teams and bands to meet other students.</p><p>If you’re shy, don’t let that stop you from making friends. The more you interact with others, the more comfortable you’ll feel. Eventually, you’ll feel more confident in talking with other students.</p><p>In addition, try not to focus on what you’re going to say. When you are thinking of what you want to say, you’ll seem aloof. People like to be heard, so give them a chance.</p><figure id="attachment_168" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-168" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-168" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-happy-women.jpg" alt="three happy women" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-happy-women.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/three-happy-women-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-168" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Sharing your secrets</h2><p>If you’re looking to make friends in high school, you’ve got to put some effort into it. This means being in the right place at the right time, as well as paying attention to what your peers are saying. You might even find that you’ll have a chance to join a few clubs.</p><p>The best way to learn about your classmates is by joining clubs and activities based around their interests. Some of these may be as rudimentary as joining a sports team or taking a language class. But other clubs will give you a taste of the real world. For example, if you’re interested in politics, you can also join a political club. In addition, there are many groups that are organized around hobbies and interests, such as music or theater.</p><h2>Volunteering</h2><p>If you’re looking for ways to make friends in high school, volunteering is an excellent way to connect with your community. Whether you’re a student or a parent, you can start a volunteer program at your school or find a local nonprofit to work with.</p><p>When you volunteer, you will have the chance to learn and improve your skills. This can give you a leg up in college applications, which are increasingly focusing on experience. It also helps you develop interpersonal and communication skills. You’ll gain real-world experience and meet people from diverse backgrounds.</p><p>Volunteering can also increase your chances of getting a job. It also teaches you the importance of teamwork and problem solving. Many employers look for candidates who have these skills.</p><p>Getting involved in community service also increases your self-confidence. Studies have shown that volunteering reduces stress and anxiety. Plus, it can enhance your social skills and public speaking abilities. </p><figure id="attachment_169" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-169" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-169" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/hands-formed-together-with-red-heart.jpg" alt="hands formed together with red heart" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/hands-formed-together-with-red-heart.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/hands-formed-together-with-red-heart-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-169" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Tim Marshall on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Surround yourself with kind people</h2><p>One of the most important things you can do in high school is to learn how to make friends. Having a circle of friends can not only improve your social life, but your physical and mental health as well. A great friend is a source of moral support and a great source of laughs.</p><p>As with any endeavor, it takes a little time and effort to make friends in high school. However, the rewards of having a good group of buddies are well worth the hassle.</p><p>In addition to finding a good group of friends, you should be involved in your community as much as possible. Volunteering is a great way to make friends while bringing your community a little extra happiness. You may also wish to join a student sports team, which is a great way to stay fit and make new friends.</p><p>Photo by Jed Villejo on Unsplash</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How to Factory Reset a School Chromebook</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-to-factory-reset-a-school-chromebook/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 19:00:50 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=113</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’ve just bought a new Chromebook and you’re not sure how to factory reset a school Chromebook, you’ve come to the right place.

This article will walk you through all of the steps you need to take in order to get your device working like new again.</p><h2>Making your Chromebook run like new</h2><p>If you’re in charge of a school Chromebook, you know that keeping your laptop running smoothly is essential. It can get frustrating, though, if your computer starts to slow down. Here are some tips to help you get your Chromebook back on track.</p><p>The first thing you can do to speed up your laptop is to remove any unnecessary apps and extensions. These are all things that can slow your browser down, and may be using up resources like RAM or CPU. Uninstalling them will also help your device run faster.</p><p>Another way to make your Chromebook run faster is to save all your favorite apps to an external hard drive. You can do this by going to Settings and selecting your storage device. After you’ve selected the location of your files, click the move settings to Recovery Utility button. This will allow you to keep your data safe without losing any of the features that you’ve installed.</p><p>Another tip to speed up your Chromebook is to make sure that you’re not consuming too much battery power. Most Chromebooks use a limited amount of local storage, so if you have too many apps and tabs open, your battery life may start to suffer.</p><p>Keeping your computer’s cache clean can also help improve your experience. By clearing out unnecessary files, you can free up space, which will allow your Chromebook to operate faster.</p><figure id="attachment_178" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-178" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-178" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/old-apple-computer.jpg" alt="old apple computer" width="640" height="960" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/old-apple-computer.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/old-apple-computer-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-178" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Jason Leung on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Developer Mode is blocked by your administrator</h2><p>School Chromebooks can be reset to reinstall saved settings and Wi-Fi passwords. However, the process depends on the model of your device and the Internet speed.</p><p>To unenroll your Chromebook from your school domain, you must first access Developer Mode. This will allow you to install a different operating system. If you’ve been locked out of Developer Mode, you’ll need to remove the administrator from the system before you can proceed.</p><p>Using the spacebar will put your Chromebook into Developer mode. You will then need to press ESC + REFRESH + POWER. Then press Enter to confirm that you are removing the administrator from the system.</p><p>Afterwards, you will need to power down your Chromebook. Some models may have special instructions for resetting your device. It’s a good idea to back up all your important data beforehand.</p><p>When you’re ready to use your Chromebook again, you’ll need to re-enroll it. The computer will now be registered under your own personal Google account.</p><figure id="attachment_179" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-179" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-179" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/new-running-computer.jpg" alt="new running computer" width="640" height="428" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/new-running-computer.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/new-running-computer-300x201.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-179" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Johny vino on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><p>Before proceeding with the reset, it’s a good idea to read the warnings and instructions on the security settings.

There are a lot of things you need to think about, like how to highlight your soft skills and your “hard” skills. Moreover, it is important to emphasize your personality and your achievements, as well. Ultimately, you need to find a way to make your application letter stand out from the crowd.</p><h2>Include achievements</h2><p>A well-written achievements section will help make your CV stand out from the crowd. Whether you are a recent graduate or someone with extensive fieldwork experience, you can use the same principle to highlight your best skills and talents. It will also show potential employers that you have the drive and commitment to succeed.</p><p>The most important thing to remember when constructing an accomplishments section is to include the correct metrics. You want to show your prospective employer that you are more than just another unemployed college graduate trying to get a job.</p><p>There are many different metrics to consider when crafting your own achievements section. One of the best ways to do this is to include the one most relevant to the position you’re applying for. Ideally, you’ll only need to include a few examples.</p><figure id="attachment_183" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-183" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-183" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/assorted-color-abstract-painting.jpg" alt="assorted color abstract painting" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/assorted-color-abstract-painting.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/assorted-color-abstract-painting-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-183" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Hal Gatewood on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Address the school’s goals</h2><p>If you are writing a letter of intent to apply for a teaching position, you need to address the school’s goals. In addition to highlighting your qualifications, you should also mention why you are interested in the job.</p><p>Your letter of intent should include a title and contact information for the hiring manager. Using this format will help you look professional.</p><p>You should also include the name of the school you are applying to. This is a good icebreaker, and will tell the reader that you have taken the time to learn about the school. Likewise, the name of the principal will be a good way to get the attention of the hiring manager.</p><p>The letter should be one page in length. Include your full name, the street address of your home, and your contact information, including a phone number.</p><h2>Include quotes and testimonials</h2><p>If you are writing an application letter for teaching with no experience, you may want to consider including a few quotes and testimonials. These can be a useful way of showing off your personality and demonstrating how excited you are about the opportunity.</p><p>A quote is the simplest type of testimonial. You can create a simple one with your own words, or you can ask someone to give you one. It is a good idea to thank the person immediately after receiving a testimonial.</p><p>Testimonials are a great way to demonstrate how well you work. They are also a fantastic marketing tool. By adding your testimonials to your resume, you will give yourself an edge over other job seekers.</p><p>The best testimonials should be placed on the home page of your website. This is because they will be seen by your visitors.</p><figure id="attachment_184" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-184" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-184" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/brown-and-white-hanging-decors.jpg" alt="brown and white hanging decors" width="640" height="960" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/brown-and-white-hanging-decors.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/brown-and-white-hanging-decors-200x300.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-184" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by capnsnap on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Highlight soft skills and “hard” skills</h2><p>If you have no experience in the teaching field, you may be wondering how to highlight soft skills and hard skills on your resume. While both are necessary for a successful career, it is important to know the difference between the two types.</p><p>Soft skills include interpersonal and communication skills. These are the qualities that employers look for in an applicant. They can be difficult to measure and are usually developed over time.</p><p>Unlike hard skills, these skills can be taught. You can learn them through formal education or hands-on training. Your resume should also include any certifications you have earned.</p><p>If you have no experience in the field, you may also have to overcome some other hurdles. Some of these may include multitasking, adaptability, and leadership.</p><h2>Showcase your personality</h2><p>There is more to writing a winning application letter than a good ol’ fashioned resume. Getting your paws on the right document can make or break your chances of landing the job of your dreams. Luckily, there are a few tips and tricks you can learn about before you send off your applications and relics. For example, if you have a few years under your belt, be sure to keep an eye out for potential snafus as you go through your resume. Lastly, be sure to read your letter from top to bottom for a few seconds before you submit it. After all, the competition is stiff, and you don’t want to slack off.</p><p>The best way to do this is to find a professional writing coach. This is a great way to get a second opinion on your application letters and your resume in general.</p><p>Image by Unsplash+</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How Long Does It Take To Learn The Violin</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-the-violin/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 18:59:06 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=104</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re wondering how long it takes to learn the violin, you’re not alone.

Learning how to play the violin can be a very rewarding experience. But, it’s important to get started on the right foot. There are a number of factors to consider, from picking the right violin to finding the right teacher.</p><h2>Finger dexterity</h2><p>One of the most important factors in learning violin is finger dexterity. This is especially important when playing fast passages of music.</p><p>To improve finger dexterity, you should practice daily. You can start with simple exercises like contracting and expanding your fingers. There are also more advanced exercises such as lifting and dropping your fingers simultaneously.</p><p>As you gain experience, you can begin practicing scales. Scales are one of the best ways to build dexterity on your violin.</p><p>You can also practice trills, which are like tapping your fingerboard. Practice these exercises with your first finger and try to make them as quick as possible. They’ll help increase your dexterity and give you a wide range of motion.</p><p>Violin is an incredibly complex instrument to learn. It takes a lot of practice and perseverance to master it.</p><h2>Music theory</h2><p>If you’re a musician, it’s important to learn about music theory. It can help you understand and write music better. In fact, exceptional musicians use theory in their daily practice.</p><p>Music theory is a complex field. You’ll need to spend time reading and practicing. There are plenty of resources available. Online courses can speed up the learning process.</p><p>The best way to learn about music theory is to apply it to real-world scenarios. For example, you can write a song using a set of chords you learned. This will not only improve your skills, but it will also increase your musical influences.</p><p>Another way to improve your theory is to study a musical style you like. Doing so will make your theories and concepts more relevant to your life.</p><figure id="attachment_187" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-187" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-187" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/music-notes.jpg" alt="music notes" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/music-notes.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/music-notes-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-187" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Marius Masalar on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Vibrato</h2><p>Violin is a classical instrument that can be very difficult to learn. It requires patience and good technique. However, it is possible to master it. In fact, you can even become a professional violinist.</p><p>First, you must understand the basic concepts of playing the violin. Then you can start practicing the exercises. To master vibrato, you must develop finger dexterity and your wrist and arm form.</p><p>There are many exercises that will help you develop this skill. You should start with the wide motion and slowly increase the speed. Once you can successfully perform the wide motion, you should practice simulating the vibrato. This can be done by recording yourself playing solo.</p><p>Another great way to help you develop vibrato is by visualizing the vibrato string. The first time you perform this exercise, the vibrato may not sound pleasing. But over time, the sound will improve.</p><h2>Choosing the right violin</h2><p>If you’re interested in learning the violin, you’ll need to pick the right violin. That means picking an instrument that can be played well and won’t break down after a couple of years. It also means buying a high-quality instrument that’s a good value.</p><p>First and foremost, the violin should be a decent size. Most beginners should start out with a smaller-sized instrument. This allows for easier manipulation. However, some people prefer a bigger violin.</p><p>The next step is to get fitted. You’ll want to have a professional take your measurements to make sure the violin is a good fit. There’s no shame in asking for advice from someone who knows what they’re talking about.</p><p>The violin should be made of good quality wood. Cheap materials will produce harsh notes. Rosin should be a high-quality rosin, such as Bernardel or Jade L’Opera.</p><figure id="attachment_189" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-189" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-189" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/violin-on-wooden-table.jpg" alt="violin on wooden table" width="640" height="427" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/violin-on-wooden-table.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/violin-on-wooden-table-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-189" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by Lucia Macedo on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Finding a teacher</h2><p>Finding a violin teacher can take a lot of time. There are many factors to consider before choosing a teacher. It is important to find someone who understands the process and is committed to the long term success of your music education.</p><p>The first thing to do is to make a list of potential teachers. You can ask friends, relatives, colleagues, or other musicians for recommendations. Also, try to get recommendations from a local music store or high school.</p><p>Next, check out summer workshops or master classes. These events are great opportunities to see different violin teachers. Look for a teacher who inspires you to play.</p><p>Some teachers are more patient than others, so it is important to choose a teacher who will be easy to work with. This is especially true for children who are beginning to learn.</p><p>Photo by Clem Onojeghuo on Unsplash</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How Long Would It Take To Get To The Sun</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-long-would-it-take-to-get-to-the-sun/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 18:58:42 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=106</guid> <description><![CDATA[There is a lot of speculation about how long it will take to get to the sun.

Scientists have proposed that it will take a long time, and that it may never be possible to reach the sun. In this article, we’ll examine what we know about the distance between the earth and the sun, and how we might reach the sun.</p><h2>Earth and Mars are farthest away from the sun</h2><p>When you think of the distance between Earth and Mars, you may be wondering if there is a direct correlation between the two. However, there is no exact answer to this question. Depending on the orbits of each planet around the Sun, the distance between the two can vary greatly.</p><p>The closest point of contact between the two is perihelion. This is the point of Mars’s orbit around the sun, when it is closest to the Earth. During this time, the planet is about 33.9 million miles from the Sun.</p><p>At its farthest point, the planet is 154 million miles away. As a result, light takes twelve minutes and forty seconds to reach the planet.</p><p>On the other hand, the shortest distance between the two is a mere 34 million miles. It is also true that the distance between the two is constantly changing.</p><figure id="attachment_193" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-193" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-193" src="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/the-mars-planet.jpg" alt="the mars planet" width="640" height="480" srcset="https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/the-mars-planet.jpg 640w, https://free-education.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/the-mars-planet-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-193" class="wp-caption-text">Photo by NASA on Unsplash</figcaption></figure><h2>Spacecraft study the sun from an orbit around the Earth</h2><p>There are a few different spacecraft that are studying the sun from an orbit around the Earth. The most advanced is the Solar Orbiter. It is a joint ESA-NASA mission that has a number of instruments. These instruments will allow the mission to explore the sun’s magnetic field and surface.</p><p>Another spacecraft studying the sun from an orbit around the Earth is Parker Solar Probe. This spacecraft will collect the closest observations of the Sun ever. Unlike previous spacecraft, this spacecraft will enter the corona region of the Sun. During the seven years that this spacecraft will orbit the Sun, it will collect the most extensive data about the Sun.</p><p>A third spacecraft studying the sun from an orbit around Earth is the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). This mission is a joint ESA-NASA collaboration. SDO is the largest spacecraft designed to study the Sun.</p><h2>Earth’s gravity tugs on the sun</h2><p>The Sun’s gravity is so strong that it keeps our planet spinning around it. The gravity of the Sun is far more powerful than that of the Moon. In fact, the Sun is so massive it weighs 330,000 times as much as the Earth.</p><p>There is a small chance that the Sun and Earth could collide if the two spheres ever get close enough. This would be a big deal.</p><p>For starters, Earth and the sun are both 93 million miles away from each other. Even though they are so far apart, the two planets spin around each other at nearly the same speed. This means that the earth never falls into the sun.</p><p>In addition to its gravitational pull, the sun also has a strong electromagnetic force. This force is used to help control the tides of our oceans.</p><h2>If you get too close to the sun, you will die</h2><p>A trip to the sun may sound like a good idea, but if you’re not prepared for the ensuing gauntlet you’ll find yourself in a heap of trouble. Whether you’re a tourist or an astronaut, you could be a casualty of solar radiation and astrophysics. While you might be able to survive the rough solar winds, you’re probably not going to be much use to the planet Earth if you get struck by lightning.</p><p>The Sun is 4.6 billion years old and is located in the outer reaches of our solar system. Its mass is more than 333,000 times that of the Earth, and is the largest of the eight planets in our solar system.

This would allow them to stay cooler as they travel through space.</p><p>To get a closer look at the sun, NASA has been building a solar probe called the Parker Solar Probe. It will be flying closer to the sun than any spacecraft before. The solar probe will record the corona’s plasma and the tangled net of magnetic fields around it. These data will help scientists better understand the Sun.</p><p>The sun emits a massive amount of radiation. This includes a wide range of particles and waves. Some of these particle storms are highly unpredictable.</p><p>One of the most common particles is the solar wind, which contains low-energy protons. Another is the galactic cosmic ray, which originates outside the solar system. Although this is less energetic than the solar wind, it can still be dangerous.</p><p>Photo by NASA on Unsplash</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>How Long Does It Take to Learn C++</title> <link>https://free-education.org/how-long-does-it-take-to-learn-c/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[free-education]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Jan 2023 18:58:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Blog]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://free-education.org/?p=105</guid> <description><![CDATA[If you’re thinking about learning how to code in C++, it’s important to know exactly what to expect.
