Articles Written By Alla Volodina

A talented educational and finance expert in Canada with years

of experience in teaching subjects like accounted and finance,

Alla Volodina has introduced a website where she discusses

various topics to help out fellow instructors and students too.

Owing to her commitment to help students as well as fellow

teachers improve the productivity and the overall learning

procedure of a class; she discusses various tits bits based on her

years of teaching. Her experiences and thoughts along with some

very simple tips on how to improve the classroom experience and as

a result the overall learning process too are discussed in her posts

which can be read by one and all.

Various topics relevant to the current educational system are

discussed in her blog under three categories namely motivation,

study skill and teaching. One of her discussions focuses on the

students and how they can learn better by incorporating a few

simple methods. Rather than agreeing with popular study habits

such as cramming the last minute before exams or taking the help

of caffeine for studying all night she asks students to do away with

them and instead start regular studying which would help them

have long term memory of what they have studied. Alla Volodina

also suggests students to include some variety in their learning

since anything monotonous tends to get boring with time.

Multitasking while studying too is discouraged by Alla since it

can have a negative impact on the ability to learn.

Students can help the brain absorb and process information more

effectively by focusing on only one subject or topic at a time rather

than multitasking. Rather following simple steps like writing in

their own words whatever they have read or teaching someone else

what they have just learned are more effective ways of retaining

any information assimilated over a longer period of time. She

does not suggest students to follow the herd mentality since all

methods do not work equally for everyone. Thus she suggests

students to find out what methods works for them and then follow

it so that they can learn better by following that particular

method.

Readers can also read on a variety of topics such as how to keep

teachers motivated so that they can better facilitate the learning

procedure of students, how to teach subjects like accounts better,

how to transition study habits when entering university so as to

score well and others on the website of Alla Volodina. Teachers of

accounts can take help form her post which discusses methods to

make accounts classes more productive and fun. Always a

promoter of deeper learning, Alla advises teachers to go beyond

promoting surface learning and provide students of their class

with deeper learning so that they are able to recall the

information in the long run. Since teaching methods vary from

subject to subject, she suggests that it is better for teachers of

accounts to become more of a facilitator and less of a teacher.

Methods such as inculcating skills like speaking out in the class

and teamwork in their students would help them have a class full

of students with clearer concepts of the subject.

Both teachers as well as students will find her website to extremely

helpful.
