No Blue Stocking Needed For Blue Sky Thinking
Posted on October 2, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
A few years ago there was a trend going around the younger up and coming members of the business community for snappy slogans and attaching ‘themes’ to companies and products. If you went to a modern university then it was referred to generally as ‘red brick’, rather than old stone portal. Anyone hoping to score top marks with brilliant ideas that were far reaching and stimulating would be described as ‘a blue sky thinker’ and in a way it pigeon holes us for that period in time. Any women who succeeded in business after going to a prestigious fee paying school for example would universally be referred to a ‘the blue stocking type’ – despite having worked jolly hard to gain her qualifications through knowledge and how to apply it. Gaining additional qualifications for any vocational direction is much easier today with e-learning and online courses that are very job specific.
Shorthand Typing Skills Gradually Fading Away
Posted on September 24, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
So many times you read about an actor being interviewed and amongst their little witty throw away lines they mention that they never planned to become an actor. Lots of the older ladies had mothers who insisted they took a shorthand and typing course first – almost as a punishment for wanting to do something as risky as become an actress. There are countless ways that being a short hand typist must have given great security to folk who were just starting off on their career ladder. The initial training could be beefed up with the next grade up, as I managed. I did Pitman’s elementary, intermediate and advanced typing whilst at school. Until fairly recently, when men suddenly decided that having a laptop meant they could dispense with a secretary . . . there was always a good lucrative means of earning an income. Now, men do their own correspondence – all via email and sadly, rarely a business letter is sent anywhere !
E-Education Coming Online Can Aid Communities
Posted on August 4, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
There are many things that seem to be going wrong for society these days. Too many folk trying to cram in to already seriously over crowded connobations. The old ghetto system is still prevalent but it has taken a slightly different direction. In these deprived areas, a lack of appreciation of the fundamentals of education seem to pass the occupants by. What should be thought of as a right of all children to be offered, is sometimes considered to be a waste of time and only for the already privileged kids. When education leaders are struggling to engage with families and communities, there are ways and means now of getting some of them online for their learning. Education consultants can develop specific E-learning tools for the slower and less enthuiastic components in any community. It just needs the right instruction to be given and someone to know what the expectations are.
A Level Career Playing Field Easier With Online Courses
Posted on July 1, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
What does it take to get to the very top of the tree with industry. This is a question that used to be very easily answered by the phrases ‘old boy network’ and ‘not what you know, but who you know’. To a small extent this can still be true when it comes to politics and needing backing to get started in the first place. But much education, training in the ways of the company, attendance of online personnel response courses and updating our cvs with the most accurate but positive items, will help to get us up the ladder quicker. An education agency will know of the right courses that can be available for those who wish to further their knowledge in a particular discipline. They can develop custom designed online training courses for sectors of a company scheme or a civil service department. Starting on a level playing field has never been easier.
The Way Up Is With Hard Work & Determination
Posted on May 11, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
There’s currently a great deal in the press about the subject of grammer schools getting a hike in the governmemnt budget allowance and this is not going down terrribly well with the rest of the educational world. Many on the more socialist side of life are up in arms about the fact the selective schools already have a great advantage over the comprehensive system and that it is not fair funding. Whatever sort of school one attends, there really is no excuse for getting poor results. There is a much more even playing field for all children now, far more so than in the early years of education in this country as a whole. All schools are geared to allow for bright candidates from poorer backgrounds to get a helping hand on to reach their potential. There should be no such thing as a bad school. Bad pupils maybe. It takes effort and determination to succeed.
Little By Little, Education Drip Fed Via Online Courses
Posted on April 3, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
When we think of schools all we generally recall is our own sorry attempt at learning in a large class environment. The mix of bored disruptive children with bored under achieving teacher can make for a volatile atmosphere for most folk. The lessons have changed for the better, but whilst some of the content and presntation skills have vastly improved, for every ‘super lesson’ there are hundreds of mediocre run of the mill teacher led lessons going on in mainstream schools today. So for the discerning parent, how about checking onlne with the latest trends on online learning -e degrees and the supply of online teaching courses in any subject and efectively, any age group. Knowing how to learn is a critical lesson in itself. Just listening to facts and figures is rarely the answer to any education methodology. Being able to take information and re learn it in chunks is the basis for online learing.
E-Learning Choices Saves Many A House Move
Posted on March 3, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
When you think of our children and grandchildren growing up, one of the first things we consider is their safety, then their health and probably the next is education. In fact it’s fair to say that education concerns govern many a house move these days. I know of couples who decide on the school area they want to be in before they actually start the family. Of course, a public school in the chosen area will make it even more necessary to up the education standard of the chief earner of the family anyway. When top up courses are needed, there are so many on the market – choosing the right online package can be extremely difficult to fathom. Knowing who supplies goo e-learning curses and online tutoring and then checking out their credentials is absolutely to get the desired grades and degree certificates at the end of the day.
Anti Fraud & Career Focused E-Learning Lessons For Life
Posted on February 23, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
I have a lothing of all things that smack of fraud, under the counter payments, tax evasion etc. I never hire the services of trades persons who ask for cash in hand payments – particularly if they whisper loudly that they can reduce the bill by a good 20% if I do pay in the hand. I have attended many e-learning courses in my years as a government officer. Online education is and essential tool these days to get through to the work force about the need to operate honestly, fairly and above board. Training and careers courses count for nothing if the person then gets into trouble for dealing in an illegal or under hand manner. I always found the career and role focused e-learning courses to be very helpful and jolly interesting. They have stayed with me throughout my working career in fact.
Online Maths Courses Would Have Been Uplifting
Posted on January 13, 2018 by Nikki - No Comments
I have just spent a wonderful week with an old colleague – we worked together for many years in an office based environment. We had both been at school under the old teacher led system and felt fairly well educated on most of the necessary subjects of our day. My mental arithmetic had not been great at school – I didn’t like one of the teachers when much younger – this sadly put me off the subject for the rest of my school days. If only I’d had access to the fantastic array of e-learning and online revision courses that are out there now. It would have boosted my confidence and taught me the logical way to look at all maths. I did like dealing with logarithms and was able to use the tables easily – but oh how I would have benefitted from e-training and online education courses that today’s student can revel in!
Topping Up Current Subject Levels With E-Learning Schemes
Posted on December 12, 2017 by Nikki - No Comments
Remember Remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot . . . . we used to chant this regularly every autumn when the history lessons at our educational establishment had reached the part about the blowing up of the english parliament and the plot to change the workings of it. There are many different types of learning now adays – we can log on to all sorts of e-learning sites, that supply absolutely custom designed courses for very specific career choices or job focused training. There cannot be a single subject in the universe not covered by some means of online education or e-training of sorts. Knowing what to look for is of course another matter. You need to break down the areas of learning to know exactly what is required for your purposes. Topping up curent standard of subject learning is ideally suited to e-training and students can make tremendous progress that way.
