The Learning-Media Transaction
The manner in which the learning-media transaction materializes depends largely upon what is understood and believed about instructional technology. According to the Commission on Instructional Technology this involves consideration of at least two major viewpoints or definitions. The Commission (Tickton, 1970, p.21) reports that:
In its more familiar sense, it means the media born of the communications revolution which can be used for instructional purposes alongside the teacher, textbook, and blackboard. ... In order to reflect present-day reality, the Commission has had to look at the pieces that make up instructional technology: television, films, overhead projectors, computers, and other items of "hardware" and "software" (to use the convenient jargon that distinguishes machines ...

Nursing Magazines - Great Aid For Nurses and Nursing Students
There are practically hundreds of magazines for people in the nursing field. The good news is that they are typically more useful and practical in terms of what is written in them - less theories and more on "how tos".
PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 04, 2010 – Medical technology advances every day, and new medical situations, understandings, and medications have always been a part of this very challenging profession. Nursing magazines can provide nursing students and nurses a constant resource of knowledge and education.
However, people in this field have a demanding and busy schedule and do not have much time for any pursuits; thus, they must receive information that is condensed in a size that is easy to read and can be readily employed. This is the reason why nursing magazines ...
New Research Shows That American Students Can Only Be Successful in the Digital Age By Reading More
By TextProject.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A majority of American students aren’t reading enough in school to achieve the reading levels they need, despite mandates for increased time spent in reading instruction. Dr. Elfrieda H. Hiebert, international literacy expert, speaker and author, makes the case that if American students are to be successful in the digital age, there needs to be a major shift in the classroom and at home.

Essential Study Skills For Higher Education
If writing out answers seems unappealing don't forget that your going to have to do it in the exam, probably for up to 3 hours. There's nothing worse than writer's cramp-now is your chance to practise and strengthen those fingers'!
PR Log (Press Release) – Jan 25, 2010 – Do you need to be super smart or an academic genius to get a great grade at college or university? Absolutely not! Many students fail to obtain the grade of which they are capable simply because they don't realise that a student with an 'average' ability can do really well. All that is needed is a consistent approach, organisation, preparation and discovering what the examiner/assessor is looking for and delivering it.
Following my tips and advice will take a little extra time each week but will save a lot of time and stress come assessment time ...
The Shocking Truth about your Image
Four bizarre reasons customers may not like you
INFLUENCE WITH EASE
By Jeff Mowatt
Whether it’s fair or not, we are often judged on first impressions. This harsh reality is nowhere better seen than in today’s ultra-fast business world where customers size-you-up in a nano-second based on your personal image. Since their impression of you will determine whether or not they want to do business with you, the impact on your career and on your organization’s bottom line can be staggering.
Ironically, when corporations bring me in to speak at conventions on how ...
Youth and Education: Who needs more of what?
Author: Alyona Romaniuk, a student of the Lesya Ukrayinka Volyn' National University, Ukraine
Translated by Ihor Cap
Nowadays, alumni acutely question education: should we study further, which career to choose, or where to go following graduation? I wonder if everyone needs a higher education because right now many people who have degrees are unable to find work. In particular, there are hundreds of lawyers, teachers, and doctors out on the market without work. Moreover, how much effort and money was expended to get this higher education. Many parents assist their children in later life to pursue a higher education, without attention to the true talents of these young people. Maybe someone prefers to paint more than teach math, and still others would be just as happy sewing something instead of memorizing physics. The lawyer’s ...
Online Learning vs. Correspondence Courses
Online Learning vs. Correspondence Courses: What's the Difference?
PHOENIX, AZ (MMD Newswire) August 12, 2009 -- The world of online learning and its innovative instruction techniques have made incredible leaps and bounds over the last twenty years, providing educational opportunities for those too distant or too busy to complete traditional programs. Unfortunately, many people still believe that online learning is like the correspondence schools of yesteryear: a series of assignments completed as self-study, and submitted for grading to some nameless, faceless administrator who simply checks that the work has been completed. While there may still be some online certificate and degree programs that subscribe to this out-dated model, Dunlap-Stone University (DSU) does not. Instead, DSU has created a dynamic, interactive learning model ...

How to up-sell without turning off your customer
INFLUENCE WITH EASE
If you and your employees aren’t trained on effective ways to upsell, chances are you either offend customers by being too pushy, or leave money on the table that customers would have willingly spent with you. Either option is costly.
When organizations bring me in to train employees on how to increase revenues from current customers, I often find that not enough attention is paid to upselling.
Upselling refers to when you help a customer decide to buy a little extra or ...
The Secret to Success in Your Career
Paul Mitchell The Schools gives advice on how to fall in love with what you do.
PR Log (Press Release) – Dec 14, 2009 – Many people don’t like what they do for a living. They hate their jobs, dislike their coworkers, and see their customers as interruptions to their days. The secret to success isn’t getting everything you want and then loving it. The key is to start by being in love with what you do, appreciating your teammates, and willingly serving and helping your clients. Do those things and you will start getting everything you want.
To have the qualities of love in your professional life, you need what industry legend Sydell Miller described as creative love. Sydell said, “You must love what you do, love whom you do it with, and love whom you do it for. ...

By Trent Consultants United States of America
For parents who have found themselves repeating the same warnings or directions to their toddler over and over to no avail.
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 8, 2009 -- Trent Consultants News For parents who have found themselves repeating the same warnings or directions to their toddler over and over to no avail, new research from the University of Colorado at Boulder offers them an answer as to why their toddlers don't listen to their advice: they're just storing it away for later.
Scientists -- and many parents -- have long believed that children's brains operate like those of little adults. The thinking was that over time kids learn things like proactively planning for and understanding how actions in the present affect them in ...

By Trent Consultants United States of America
Although comics have been published in newspapers since the 1890s, they still get no respect from some teachers and librarians, despite their current popularity among adults.
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 9, 2009 -- Trent Consultants News Although comics have been published in newspapers since the 1890s, they still get no respect from some teachers and librarians, despite their current popularity among adults. But according to a University of Illinois expert in children's literature, critics should stop tugging on Superman's cape and start giving him and his superhero friends their due. Carol L. Tilley, a professor of library and information science at Illinois, says that comics are just as sophisticated as other forms of ...

From their very first days, newborns' cries already bear the mark of the language their parents speak, reveals a new study published online in Current Biology.
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 9, 2009 -- Trent Consultants News From their very first days, newborns' cries already bear the mark of the language their parents speak, reveals a new study published online in Current Biology. The findings suggest that infants begin picking up elements of what will be their first language in the womb, and certainly long before their first babble or coo.

7 Keys to Creating a Customer Focused Culture
Walking-the-Talk of your Mission Statement
By Jeff Mowatt
INFLUENCE WITH EASE
“I’m just doing this until something better comes along – like retirement!” If that sums up the attitude held by some of your employees, then imagine the negative impact on teamwork, productivity, and especially on customer loyalty. Chances are that you, as a business manager or owner, are committed to satisfying customers. But what are you doing about employees who see their jobs merely as ‘fillers’? Business leaders need to create an environment that motivates employees to want to take care of customers. ...

What Do Effective Teachers Do?
Education expert and Pearson author Sue Bredekamp's new book sets the standard for early childhood education
WASHINGTON, DC November 23, 2009 -- "Effective teachers are intentional in everything they do--they are purposeful, they're planful, they know why they're doing what they're doing and they can explain it to other people," says Dr. Sue Bredekamp, a nationally-recognized early childhood education expert and Pearson author. Dr. Bredekamp's new book, Effective Practices in Early Childhood Education, was unveiled at the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) annual conference in Washington, DC.

Are Europe's teachers getting enough training?
Brussels, 24 November 2009
The OECD and the European Commission today present their new report on the “ Teachers’ Professional Development: Europe in international comparison". It concludes that teachers need effective feedback on their work in order to take full advantage of training opportunities, but variety in training experiences, and a better working climate in schools, are also key to successful professional development. Almost nine in ten teachers take part in some form of in-work professional training, according to the report, and more than half say they want more. Based on this year's Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), which was conducted in 23 participating countries, the report provides internationally comparable data for the first time on teachers' professional development.

Five greetings that boost sales to walk-in visitors
INFLUENCE WITH EASE
By Jeff Mowatt
Quick, what’s the typical greeting used most often by 60% of retail stores? You’re right if you guessed, “Can I help you?” The visitor’s usual response, “No thanks, just looking.” The problem is the walk-in customer is never “just looking.” They came into the premises because at some level they perceived a need. This greeting only reminds visitors that they’re not here to buy. Lousy selling strategy.
The way you and your front line employees greet walk-in customers has a ...
