Online Training – Holistic Approach

- by Harry Simson

With a fast-moving world, technology is also developing very fast. This developing technology has also changed conventional ways of learning to a very high level. The education system in the classroom has been replaced very well by virtual training.

The latest trend of gaining an education is online. It is a way by which millions of people today enhance some distinct skills at an economical rate. This is the reason why this mode of education is gaining huge popularity among the masses.

Online training, which is also known as web-based training, home study, computer-based training, e-learning, etc is a mode of training through electronic media with the help of some audio/video visuals and texts. A human instructor is not present as in the case of conventional sources of training and education.

Closed Online Network Training

Online training is generally provided in two ways, namely – closed network and open network. The online closed network is accessed by a group of people to get training and at the same time maintain the confidentiality of the training. This training program cannot be used by anyone from anywhere. For e.g. many large retail stores provide online closed networks for their employees on issues such as “handling shoplifters”. Employees enter with their employee number and password and are trained. This online closed network allows retail management to maintain the confidentiality of information.

Open Online Networks

Open online networks, on the other hand, let the masses be trained in various courses by accessing public internet …

Life After High School

- by Harry Simson

When we enter our teen years, we often begin to ponder what we will do when we graduate from high school. Unfortunately, many of us lack direction at that time and we might not know what we want to do when the big day approaches. In reality, however, there are very few choices that need to be made and as long as you can make one big decision, that’s generally enough to help get you started in life. You can then begin to shape your life around that decision and even change the way you live your life as it continues.

Direct Entry into The Job Market

One option available to you in many cases is direct entry into the job market. This is beneficial for those who do not have the tendency to attend all types of universities. This is also beneficial for those who want to go through one of the university degree programs but are not assigned to the financial responsibilities that accompany it. It is important for you to consider the options available if you enter the job market before you jump. That is because of the fact that making the right decision will give you the freedom needed to change as you move on. Making the wrong decision can lock you in that decision for life.

Attending the Business Schools

Another option that you might want to consider is attending one of the business schools and programs offered through universities. There will always be demand …

A Unique Course to Study That You Might Not Have Considered

If you’re looking for something interesting to study, why not try photography? Whether you’re planning on using it as a basis for a career or you just want to learn a new skill or develop a new hobby, there are many different things you can do with your newfound abilities. Photography can be very lucrative, but it can also be a lot of fun, too. It’s worth exploring because there are so many options for it, and it’s a skill that you can take with you all of your life. Many people really enjoy taking pictures, and when you learn how to take better ones they bring you and your family members even more joy.  

Another course you can take would be film studies. It’s a great opportunity for you to learn something new and different, and to create something artistic and lasting.

Whatever your reasons for taking that kind of class, there is a lot that you can learn there and you’ll have a chance to meet some great new people, too.  

Ever wondered what was going on inside someone else’s head? Well, if that’s the kind of thing you’re curious about, why not take psychology? People who study in this field can go on to have really great careers but they can also just enjoy what …

A New Initiative in Scholarships for Mothers

- by Harry Simson

For most mothers, money is more a luxury than a constant item. Between paying for housing, food, clothes for her children, and her children’s tuition in school, money is often very tight. This is one of the main setbacks for moms who want to go back to school and earn a degree. It just doesn’t seem like an option sometimes. The Obama administration has made a lot of improvements and now there are more scholarships for mothers than there ever have been in the past. This is an attempt to help moms get on with their lives and earn a living for themselves, which can be very difficult with the constant whirlwind of activity that inherently comes with motherhood.

There is never a bad time to begin preparing for your own future, and if there’s ever been a good time, it’s right now. If you have been thinking about furthering your education, getting a college degree, or advancing your career, now would be the best time to take action on those dreams and finally make them come true. President Obama recently passed the initiative to provide for scholarships for mothers. Any mother can receive $5,000 to help pay for tuition and other school expenses. This is a huge step when it comes to providing more opportunities for hard-working moms and struggling for families. Instead of simply receiving welfare, you can now go learn a vocation that will keep you away from financial hardship for your entire life. Give a man …

Does Special Education Correlate With Delinquency?

- by Harry Simson

I can’t give you data, but I can give you some interpretations. I was special education teacher for over 35 years; I did 5 years of volunteer work (up to 20 hours/week) in the CaliforniYouth Authority and 2 years of part-time teaching in detention center in the 1980s. The reason was that I wanted to know how to prevent my special education students from going to jail. I worked for gang diversion project in East Lduring for year. I studied juvenile delinquency for masters program and sociology in my doctorate. There is lot of information about delinquency/criminality in socioeconomic data: poverty has high population densities, high aggression/physical abuse rates, etc. Sociologists know that “quiet” space is necessary for mental health and does not exist in households of poverty.

You’ll have to be very careful about making assumptions when reading about school statistics, because there are many factors and special conditions that go into those statistics. Drop-out rates may include those who are on the 5+ year plan but do not include those attending alternative schools, etc. Minors may be incarcerated or detention, but after certain number of absence days they are dropped from their home school enrollment. Some students the transfer for enrollment (accountability) purposes. Schools may also include those on minimum day or special arrangements (i.e., 1-2 hrs/day) to avoid drop-out figure (this fact figures into school accountability for current methods of evaluating schools after NCLB). way around laws for attending public schools is to sign up for home …
