Today is Ella\u2019s birthday, employee #1 of the English Forward Team. Everyone\u2019s birthday is memorable, and Ella\u2019s is no lesser as she was given birth by the vision of having equal opportunity education for children all over the world. <\/span>
\nElla embodies the passion and skills of likeminded individuals who brought to life the oldest and largest Learn English online platform, 18 years running.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

English Forward Ella and Blockchain Babe<\/h2>\n

Alongside today’s celebrant, Ella, is Saanvi, our Blockchain Babe<\/a>. She is the epitome of today\u2019s children, wherever they are, in rural locations or in cities. Mitch always speaks of them, in the same undiminished passion from the day he hatched the vision with the team. <\/span>
\nMitch sees in them his own children and his tireless support for homeschooling, where parents and children proactively lay out the curriculum to match their children’s interest, taking learning out of the classroom. His enthusiasm is contagious:<\/span><\/p>\n

Do we need a blockchain translator app? I believe we do, and that translator app is English.<\/span>
\nSoon, in the future, our blockchain babe, Saanvi, will wake up in a blockchain connected world and \u201cspeak\u201d blockchain, crypto and tokenomics to her friends just like she speaks Hindi to her Daadee ma.<\/span>
\nShe\u2019ll speak it on Facebook, LinkedIn, at school, doing her banking, etc, and the question for all students to ask themselves is\u2026<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every day, we feel that we are coming closer to the dream\u2026There were questions that need answers. Learning is a never-ending search for answers and best solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harvard Study on Active Learning<\/h2>\n

There has been evidence that classroom techniques<\/a> designed to get students to participate in the learning process produce better educational outcomes at virtually all levels. These techniques have been updated with new information published on 4th September 2019 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n

Though students felt as if they learned more through traditional lectures, they actually learned more when taking part in classrooms that employed so-called active-learning strategies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lead author\u00a0Louis Deslauriers<\/a>, the director of science teaching and learning and senior physics preceptor, knew that students would learn more from active learning. The crux is this: students\u2019 perceptions of their learning should match with how well they\u2019re actually learning.
\nThe importance lies in the fact that while students eventually see the value of active learning, initially it can feel frustrating. Thus, a single platform by which learning can be done for mentors and students is essential.<\/strong>
