Online education is becoming increasingly popular because it allows people who may not ordinarily have the opportunity to get qualifications, to do so. Those of us who work do not have the time to commit to full time education and with bills to pay, and family to look after it becomes even more difficult to fit evening courses into an already full schedule. However, an online education means you can study at your own pace and time while still earning a reputable and useful qualification.
Regardless of the area you want to study you will be able to find an online college or university that offers the qualification you are looking for. Start by looking around your local area because even online education may sometimes require personal tutoring or exams and these can’t always be done on the Internet.
Once you know the course you want to study and you have applied, it’s time to start working. An online education demands a greater level of commitment and you should make sure that you always offer the commitment that is required. You will have to do all your work off your own back in order to earn the qualification you want, but this means you should have a greater sense of satisfaction when completed.
Those who study through an online education facility have, in years gone by, struggled to receive the full acclamation for their efforts. However, reports show that executive and higher paid jobs invariably go to those with a degree or similar qualifications and employees now recognize the level of commitment and need for pro activity that is required to complete and online education course. You too could take advantage of this recognition while still retaining your current job. In fact, you could use your newfound qualification to get the promotion or pay rise that you feel you deserve.

Accounting is a crucial aspect of any business to quantify the finances. It is a required element of all businesses and also is necessary for personal organization as well. There is a great need for accountants to organize and track bookkeeping in every industry. To be an accountant, one must obtain a degree and get professional certification. People who are already in the workforce may not have available time to go to classes at a college in order to obtain a degree. Therefore, an online accounting degree is an ideal solution.
An online accounting degree provides the flexibility for those who are unable to attend traditional classes for any variety of reasons. Some people may have work responsibilities that restrict their time available. Others may have family responsibilities that enable them to have short blocks of time but that do not allow for a full day of class. Regardless of the reason, partaking in an online accounting degree program can be highly beneficial.
Some people who have previous work experience in a related field may already have vast experience with the basics of accounting. Starting with a traditional class schedule can seem boring to these people because they already meet or exceed the requirements for the class. Often people find this a waste of time and money to sit through a class in which their experience level is more advanced than the instruction. This can lead to frustration and a lack of motivation. Online accounting degree programs limit this problem by allowing the student to test as frequently as they need to demonstrate their command of the course. This can lead to a more rapid advancement through the course prospectus and enable a student to obtain a degree much faster.
An online accounting degree is one of the most popular degree courses available today. Because accounting needs are so abundant, there is a demand for accountants in every field imaginable. Accounting also allows the flexibility of finding a job outside the home or even working at home and maintaining a lighter work load. This is ideal for stay at home parents who wish to add another income but do not want to work full time. With today’s busy lifestyle, an online accounting degree is a perfect way to further education without sacrificing existing commitments and responsibilities.
A traditional higher education is very expensive. However, an online accounting degree can be much cheaper. Because there is no need for formal classroom and testing facilities, plus the student to teacher ratio can be much higher, the cost for educating a student is significantly less. This savings is passed to the student for an affordable way to obtain a degree. There are also tuition assistance programs and grants available to keep the cost down even more. Budgeting is also easier with online programs because you will generally need to pay for only the class you are in as opposed to annual or semester tuition for a number of classes. This allows you to sign up and pay for only the courses you need and are currently taking.
An online accounting degree can help advance your education and career. It is an affordable and convenient solution for working adults who do not have the time to attend more traditional classes. Search the Internet for a degree program that is affordable and available in your area.

title:Enrich Classroom Learning with Educational Magazines

Magazines created for elementary, middle school, and high school students are a great way to enhance core curriculum studies with current, up-to-date information. Periodicals have the ability to take into account current social trends among young people while reflecting the latest advancements in educational theory.
Between the “juvenile” and the “teen and young adult” categories, WritersMarket.com lists over a hundred magazines devoted to people under the age of eighteen; many of these are designed to meet the educational needs of kids at the same time that they entertain and inform. Science, math, history, social studies, art, archeology, sports, and literature are only a few of the topics covered. Adding some of these well-written, colorful magazines to the classroom can keep young people excited about school and learning.
Emphasize the use of magazines in your classroom.
Subscribing to a number of these magazines is a great first step; but you can do more to integrate the periodicals into your classroom. Some of the publishers offer free previews of upcoming issues and curriculum guides that allow you to plan your themes around specific issues. Beyond that, it’s a good idea to announce the arrival of a new issue to your class, and even to give the students an overview of the contents of each issue. Consider checking with your school library to find books with content that enhances the material in the magazines, and display the magazines and books in your reading center. You may find that students will get really excited about certain issues and actually request more information on specific subjects, which will give you additional ideas about possible themes for future study.
Depending on your budget, you may be able to actually poll your students at the beginning of the school year to discover what magazines they would like to see in their classroom, and order the most popular requests. Even fashion magazines or automotive magazines, while not a reflection of the curriculum, will get your kids reading and will let you, the teacher, discover the interests of your students, and monitor to some extent the information these young people are exposed to. If you have the money in your budget, or if you can find a benefactor for your class, you may be able to subscribe to a magazine or two and receive enough copies for every student in your class – a great motivation for kids.
Offer magazines at different reading levels.
Every classroom has students at a variety of reading and maturity levels, and your collection of magazines needs to reflect that. Some magazines, such as Appleseeds, by Cobblestone & Cricket, have content suitable for older kids who may be struggling with reading. You may also have students who are way beyond their age level in terms of reading comprehension, and magazines are a great way to provide enrichment for these advanced students.
Stay connected to your students by staying relevant.
As young people mature, they crave more independence, both in their school careers and in social areas, and can pull away from adults whom they see as uncaring or not understanding of them. High-quality magazines and books attuned to both their educational needs and their desire to connect with today’s world can help keep their school studies relevant and keep them connected to the educational process so important to their futures. By providing them with reading materials that reflect their concerns, their lives, and their interests, you will manage to keep that important connection to them as they grow and learn; perhaps more importantly, as they see you working to understand their world, they will feel more comfortable turning to you when they confront problems they feel unequipped to handle. Stay up-to-date on the information they’re reading, stay relevant to their world, and you stay connected.

title:Finding the Right Medical Transcription School For You

COMPETENCY-BASED
Finding the right medical transcription school may be the most important decision you will make in your career. This may seem like a bold statement – especially since, at first glance all medical transcription schools look pretty much the same. But nothing could be further from the truth. There are really only a few medical transcription schools that are truly competency-based. That is, schools that prepare you to get a job upon graduation.
DIPLOMA MILLS
Oh, don’t worry, there are plenty of “diploma mills” out there. The problem is that in this business, a diploma is not what matters. The only thing that matters is whether you can perform the work. And the only way to learn to do the work is to enroll in a top-flight medical transcription school. Taking shortcuts on a fast track to a diploma is a total waste of time and money. Too many people find this out the hard way — and it is a very costly mistake, indeed.
MYTH OF NO OPPORTUNITY
Unfortunately, most people who make that mistake become completely discouraged and disillusioned and just give up, assuming that there is no real opportunity for a career in medical transcription. When the reality is that there are hundreds of unfilled medical transcription job vacancies every day of the year. Right now the medical transcription industry is literally begging for new talent. But medical transcription companies need people that can produce, not people that require a lot of handholding and mentoring.
CONVENIENCE
One aspect you will want to consider in finding the right MTS for you is convenience. Some vocational and community colleges offer MT programs. The obvious challenge there is travel time and arranging your schedule to fit theirs. One great benefit for going the home-study route is that you can study whenever YOUR schedule allows. For many stay-at-home moms, this is a very, very big advantage.

title:The American Accent: Pronunciation Of The Vowels

Posted on April 20, 2012 by admin

article:

The English Vowel SOUNDS
Many learners of English have a distinct accent because they pronounce English with the vowels of their language. They commit this error because the English vowels are “something like” the vowel sounds of their native language, but they are not the same!
It is not enough to listen to radio and TV. Most people will only hear the sounds of their native language and will not learn how to pronounce the different sounds of a new language such as English.
It is useful to use a course with recordings of the language you are learning. A good one – and also economical – can be found at http://www.bookslibros.com/charlesieENGLISH.htm. A larger list of resopurces can be found in: http://www.goodaccent.com/accentbooks.htm
Let’s look at the “pure” vowels that are present in many languages. They are called pure because they have fixed sound, like that of a note of well-tuned musical instrument. These vowels are formed with no interference by the lips, teeth or tongue. It is important to remember that when we speak of the vowels a, e, i, o, u, we are speaking of the vowel sounds, not of the lettersof the alphabet. This is very important to remember in English because the same letter often represents a different sound in the English spelling. We will indicate the sounds by enclosing them in brackets: /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, and the letters in quotes: “a”, “e”, “i”, “o”, “u”.
In the following section, you can get a quick look at the English vowels that sound “something like” the vowel sounds represented by the letters “a”, “e”, “i”, “o”, “u” in many languages. In the rest of the book, we will look at them with more detail and you will also be able to listen to them pronounced. (For the book but only available in Spanish see: http://www.bookslibros.com/TuCD.htm) We will also look at the other English vowel sounds that are peculiar to English and are NOT found in most other languages.
The following sounds of English are similar (not the same!) to the sounds /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ in your language.
· The English vowel of the word pot is pronounced like the letter “a” in many languages. Learn once and for all that in some words the letter “o” is pronounced like the “a” in your language! That’s just how it is. If you don’t like it, you won’t change the language. It is better to work at your pronunciation from the very beginning.
· The English “e” in the word May.
· The English “i” in the word feet.
· The English “o” in the word goal .
· The English “u” in the word moon
We will start with the five vowel sounds as represented by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/. These are the pure vowel sounds that are present in English just as in many other languages.
The first pure vowel SOUND in English (represented by the letter “a” in most languages) is represented by the letter “o” In English. We repeat: you just have to get used to this. For example the English word lot is pronounced as if it were lat in other languages.
You open your mouth wide when you make this sound. This sound show up in the words father, car, top, pot and is the same sound as the Spanish words padre, carro, tapa, pata, or the German Vater, achtung, machen, etc.
This sound is a form of the English vowel sound /o/ (the “short o”) and not of the /a/. Therefore the “o” stands for this sound more often than the “a”. To avoid confusion it is good to use a dictionary that has the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet, the IPA.
Sure, it is always better to listen to a native speaker but sometimes you don’t have one around. For example, when you look up a word in the dictionary you will know how to pronounce it if the dictionary has the IPA symbols.
Get a good dictionary that uses the IPA like the “Longmans Basic Dictionary of American English” or the excellent “Collins Cobuild English Dictionary for Advanced Learners” by cutting the appropriate following long URL address and pasting it in your browser:
For the Longmans: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0582332516/ref=ase_launionbookslibr
For the Collins: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0007102011/ref=ase_launionbookslibr
For more on this topic, see: http://www.inglesparalatinos.com
Let’s go on to the other vowels /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/ or rather the sounds in English that are represented by these letters.
These sounds in English are not “pure”, as in many other languages, because almost they always end with another sound. They end up with a slight “i” or “u” sound according to which vowel it is. We will see this in more detail. Some teachers say that they have a little “tail” at the end.
If you pronounce the /e/ sound in English without the little “tail” at the end, you will not be pronouncing this sound correctly.
In the musical My Fair Lady, the professor tries to teach the pronunciation of the English /e/ with the phrase, “The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain”.
Your mouth is stretched to the sides when you make the /i/ sound. Remember this /i/ sound is seldom spelled with the letter “i” in English.
There is very little “tail” after the sound of the /i/ in English in words such as feet, pea.However, the /i/ is slightly longer than in other languages. So you should exaggerate it and you will be almost right.
If you pronounce the vowel /o/ of the word phone (telephone) the same as the sounds son or ton in many languages (without the “tail”) you will be speaking with a marked accent. The /o/ sound in English is not pure. You have to finish the vowel with the “tail” of a little /u/ sound.
You have to feel your lips move as you pronounce the English /o/. They don’t remain still as in other languages. As you finish the “o” sound your lips make a round shape as if you giving a kiss.
Similarly to the /i/ sound, there is very little “tail” after the English /u/ sound.
You can have a rather good pronunciation by just lengthening the vowel.
Your lips are rounded when you make the /u/ sound.
Summary of the English Vowels
The five basic vowel sounds of many languages are present in English but with the following observations:
1. The vowel that is represented by the letter “a” in many languages, more often appears in words with “o”. This sound is pronounced without change in English. However, the other vowels, /e/, /i/, /o/, /u/, all are pronounced in a specifically English manner. /e/ and /o/ have marked “tails”. The /i/ ends up in an /i/ sound. And the /o/ finishes with a /u/ sound. The /i/ /u/ do not have tails, but they are lengthened.
2. English spelling has very little to do with the sounds it represents. Or to put in another way, English is not pronounced the way it is spelled.
The /a/ sound is the vowel sound of the English word pot.
The /e/ sound (always with the “tail”) can be spelled many ways: may, weigh, they.
The sound /i/ (a little lengthened) is used in many different ways: feet, pea, field, receive.
The sound /o/ (with its /u/ tail) is represented in the following ways: loan, foe, though, blow, owe.
The sound /u/ (a little lengthened) shows up under in unexpected ways in the English words moon and through.
Strange spelling in English! Right? But the spelling in another question! We will get to it. For the moment, just concentrate on the pronunciation.
One way to remember is to think of how you shape your moth when you speak English. Try to imagine that you are smiling when you finish a word that ends with the /i/ sound. When you finish the word May you stretch your lips.
Similarly, make the effort to think of giving a kiss when you finish a word that ends with the /u/ sound. You finish the sound of the /o/ in the word go by puckering your lips as if you were going to blow out a candle or give a kiss.
Don’t forget! We have been talking of the vowel sounds, not the letters of the alphabet that sometimes represent them. The word toe has the same /o/ sound as the words go, flow, though, and beau. We’ll look at spelling a little more in other parts of the book, “Leer Es Poder” en http://www.bookslibros.com/muestra/muestra_index.htm.
Meanwhile if you read Spanish you can find pages on Ortografнa and Pronunciaciуn in www.inglesparalatinos.com. You can also get our boletнn in Spanish by going to: http://www.eListas.net/lista/leerespoder/alta

title:Is A Degree In Criminal Justice A Smart Financial Decision?

Posted on April 14, 2012 by admin

article:

According to the US Census Bureau, if you are a high school graduate you are likely to earn an average of $1.2 million over your entire working life, if you hold an associate’s degree this figure will go up to $1.6 million, if you are a bachelor’s degree holder your likely life-long earnings will be on average $ 2.1 million while if you are a master’s degree holder or a PhD your life long earnings will be more than $ 3 million. In short, there is little doubt at all that the more qualified you are, the more you are likely to earn over your entire working life.
Compare this to the cost of earning a degree – associates, bachelor’s or master’s. Even if you go to some of the high-cost for-profit private colleges to earn an online degree, you are unlikely to spend more than $ 30,000 to get your degree. To get an associate degree you will be spending a lot less, say around $ 10,000-15,000. For a bachelor’s you are likely to spend at most $ 20,000-25,000 while for a master’s you will again have to spend another $ 15,000 or so. Hence, to go up to earning a master’s you are unlikely to spend more than $ 35,000-40,000 at the most.
Leaving aside other considerations and to simply illustrate the point through some simplifications, we can say that the average return on investment on spending for an associate’s degree is roughly 1.6 million/15000 X 100 = 10,666 %. Of course, we have not considered the time value of money, but even if you do so, and calculating very roughly – the return on investment in education comes to about 10,666/30 = 350% annually, assuming that you have a working life of 30 years. The figure goes up for bachelor degree holders and even higher for master or PhD degree holders. In comparison, if you get an annual return of around 20% on any investment in the financial markets you can consider yourself lucky!
Although maths savvy readers are going to poke a number of holes in all this arithmetic, the point remains that the returns on investment in education are any day a lot higher than what you can earn by investing similar amounts in the financial markets or through real estate or through any other real-life genuine and legally-valid investment instruments. This holds for all education, not just education in criminal justice.
Coming now to criminal justice specifically, one can always point out that all these figures of returns on investment make sense only if you are going to get a job after getting a criminal justice degree. So, the real question is: will you get one? Again going by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment projections for the period 2002 to 2012 show that there will be a 24.7% increase in employment in criminal justice careers. This is the fifth highest growth after careers in technology, health care, nursing and human services.
So if we are going by figures like hard- nosed businessmen and deciding on whether it is worth investing in a degree in criminal justice, the facts seem to clearly indicate that it will certainly be a smart decision to invest on a criminal justice degree.
But leaving aside these figures – just look at your situation now. If you are already employed in a criminal justice related occupation, a degree in criminal justice will immediately get you career gains through pay hikes and promotions. If you are already employed in some other profession, a degree in criminal justice will enable you to get a job in the criminal justice field and even the lowest paying job in this field will let you earn in one year at least twice as much as what you would spend to get that degree.
Thus, any which way you look at it, spending money to get a criminal justice degree will certainly be a smart financial decision. And, if you are already in a criminal justice career that involves a fair amount of risk to your life and limb, you can be pretty sure that a criminal justice degree will not only help you to earn more money but will also empower you to rise above the foot soldier level and get you into a safer job. In any case, once you empower yourself with a criminal justice degree, the very same colleagues who had sneered at your decision and had themselves decided to not follow you and do nothing, will be forced to admit you were smarter. No doubt only smart guys go for college degrees!

title:Immerse Yourself In The Greek Language And Culture

The Greek language is over 3,500 years old, though it has evolved through the years. Over 15 million people worldwide speak Greek. It is the official language of Greece and Cyprus, and is spoken natively by immigrants living in many countries around the world. The Greek alphabet is considered the first real alphabet, and was a predecessor of the Latin alphabet, and eventually our own alphabet. The Greek language is one of history and passion, and is an ideal representative of the people who speak is fluently. If you are interested in learning a second language, consider Greek.
Learning the Greek language might seem intimidating. The alphabet doesn’t look exactly like the English alphabet. The word pronunciation sounds totally different as well. But there are several ways you can go about learning it, and several benefits to doing so. One option is to attend college, and study the language extensively. You have the choice of studying the Ancient form of Greek, or the Modern language. Learning Ancient Greek is useful if you plan to study Ancient Greek art, archaeology, literature, or history, and you intend to pursue this scholarly field. Earning a college degree in Modern Greek will provide you with a thorough written and conversational knowledge of the language that is spoken today, and gives you career options down the road. Having the ability to speak more than one language can have many advantages for you professionally. If you are fluent in the Greek language, and have some expertise in another field such as law, medicine, or business, you can be certified as a foreign language translator. This stimulating career prospect is one that offers you several options. As a certified translator, you can work full-time for a foreign language translation firm, translating business documents, web pages, and other types of communication for global corporations or for small firms looking branch out. You can also do freelance translation work, where you have the ability to be your own boss, and make your own schedule and set you own workload. Yet another career opportunity open to you as a bilingual professional is to teach English as a second language to Greek students in Greece. By knowing English and Greece, you will be able to live and work in Greece, and have no problems communicating there.
Another means by which you can learn the Greek language is by enrolling in an accelerated course that is available online. By learning Greek in this way, you will gain knowledge of a very basic foundation of the language. Learning Greek through an accelerated online course is a rather quick and convenient way to learn a second language. It is ideal for you if you are interested in traveling to Greece, and you want to be able to communicate in a basic way with the residents there. You will find that you will enjoy your travels much more if the stress of a communication barrier is not there.
An ideal option for learning the Greek language is through an immersion program. This is a perfect option for students who are looking to study abroad for a semester, or for bold travelers looking to experience Greek culture in a new and exciting way. You will not only learn the Modern Greek language, but you experience the vibrant and historic Greek culture. Learning Greek in Greece, where our own language and history has its origins, you will learn the language quickly and easily. You will learn the conversational and informal styles of the language by interacting everyday during your adventure with people who are native Greeks, who probably won’t be willing or able to communicate in English. You will be absorbed into the dazzling everyday life of the Greek people, its sights, sounds, and smells. You will gain knowledge and appreciate the storied Greek culture: the history, the art, the architecture, the food, and the people. As a part of the immersion program, you will attend courses in which you will learn the Greek alphabet, how to read, and how to write in Greek as well. Learning the Greek language as part of an immersion is a superb way to experience a new culture.
Learning the Greek language, though seemingly intimidating, can have many benefits for you. Knowing a second language gives you the potential to further develop you career by working abroad, or as a translator. Learning the Greek language will make you a better traveler as well. You will be able to communicate with the Greek people, and you will enjoy your adventures in Greece so much more. Learning Greek is a great way to open your eyes to a new (and ancient) culture.

Being little children we have dreams about whom are we going to be in their future. Though your dream was to fly into outer space, you chose to keep your feet on the ground and let your mind wonder and research. Being attentive, hard-working, intelligent and efficient you have every right to call yourself a scholar, but first of all you are to prove it to the others.
A scholar is a scientist researching the field of his interest and contributing to it. A scholar is doing a vital job: getting to the essence of things and makes an explanation, an outline, readable and understandable for the colleagues and interested individuals. Excellently written dissertation thesis (http://www.dissertationsexperts.com/dissertation_thesis.php) is not enough to call oneself a bright scholar, for your research may be covered with dust and buried under a pile of similar works. You have to be genuinely interested in what you are doing and get some of your writing into your head for further research. If you want your masters thesis (http://www.dissertationsexperts.com/master_thesis.php) to be read and forgotten you may formulate your thesis statement in a “keep it simple” kind of way. You won’t have to worry about your thesis drawing attention. But if you are concerned to show a completely new approach, or state a new point of view or you got luck and made an important discovery, your work can be published by mass media and bring you success. Top priority for every scholar is to help humans live in comfort, keep them informed and provide them with everything necessary for fair development and success. You are to create authority to communicate with other scholars on friendly terms and assist each other in doing research.
A scholar is never tired to investigate and try, experiment and risk. It can take years to come to a conclusion or a discovery, which, by the way, may turn out to be false eventually. A true scholar never gives up trying to find out the truth. Motivators are fame, recognition and a fortune if your discovery brings stable income. That is practically all, what ambitious people need in their lives. There is nothing more awarding than respect in your family, acclaim among colleagues, financial freedom and a bookshelf full of your editions that will make you famous forever.

If you are a college student approaching graduation you not only need an audit but you should inquire about an official audit of your classes from your academic department. This audit may not be necessitated by someone who has just completed a tax form, but it is critical for a student who is considered to be at a junior or senior status in college. The official audit can be completed by your campus Registrar’s Office, Academic Advisor or your Academic Department. These audits are generally advised for incoming freshmen to insure they remain on track and up to graduation, but they are crucial for juniors and senior students who are approaching graduation. The request for this audit will provide vital information and allows several key factors conducive to completing your college degree. The audit…
1. Insures that the major or minor selection you have chosen is correct and corresponds with the curriculum guide of the catalog year you enrolled in college.
2. Allows the student to distinguish all courses taken including previous grades and transfer grade information that is applicable to the declaration of major.
3. Provides information on the minimum requirements of the major sought to complete the degree.
4. Provides the total hours taken that is applicable to the degree.
5. Provides advisor information needed in contacting your department.
6. Form also allows you to see your current GPA at the time the audit was completed.
7. Allows the student to review and retake classes that he or she may have received a deficient grade in.
8. Provides a time for the advisor, professor and student to revisit any classes that may have erroneous information in the grading process applied to a student’s audit form.
9. Inquiries may be addressed with your Department Advisor, the Registrar’s Office or your Department Chair.
10. Finally, allows students to see a clear picture of what they have completed and what needs to be completed and addressed before graduation.
The information above allows the student to keep track of the classes he or she has taken and to address any issues that could cause a delay in completion of degree or coursework. This is one time that students will welcome an audit.
