GED Changes

7/22/2015

 
hereIn January 2014, the GED test was substituted by a computer delivery version in most states. The new 2014 GED exam involves the latest demands in testing development including complicated object models that need to have computer-based delivery platforms, and is going to prepare students much better and in accordance with new educational and industrial requirements in every jurisdiction, except Canada.


As pointed out earlier, the new 2014 GED test no longer offers applicants the option to use pen and paper. The complete exam has to be accomplished on a computer, and there are two distinct classes of scoring. The new exam makes a distinction between a student's high school programs knowledge for the purpose to enter college, or for career reasons. 

People who want to pass the GED need to create the account on a special website, and of course this might be confusing. I recently found a great overview of the GED.com website that explains the whole process. Check it here, this website is really doing a good job in promoting the GED test taking. Very friendly way!

Historical Perspective:

For many years, the General Educational Development (GED) test has given people who never completed high school the opportunity to acquire the equivalency to a high school diploma.
The American Council on Education (ACE), the accountable organization for the GED examination, has transformed the exam to satisfy changed demands from schools, industry, and society in general as well, to better educate candidates to be successful in schools of higher education. Most U.S. states are now offering the new 2014 GED exam for High School Equivalency testing.

The GED examination was initially created in 1942 to help World War II veterans get hold of a high school diploma, and over time about 18 million individuals have accomplished the GED exam. Annually close to half a million people complete the examination successfully. It is the goal of the GED to supply adults the chance to obtain a high school diploma so they will get access to higher education and better employment options.

My Fave Movies

Munich
Shoot your way through 1970s Berlin in this vast moral quandary from the makers of Grand Theft Auto. “Trick out” your assassin and then lay waste to the Palestinian leaders who either did or did not orchestrate the murder of Israeli competitors at the 1972 Olympics. Each Palestinian is increasingly difficult to assassinate as you hunt down their leader: code name “Bowser.” Or assassinate your friends with the multi-player function.

Goodnight, and Good Luck
As Edward R. Murrow, you use the fledgling power of broadcast media to stand up to one of the most powerful men in America, Joseph McCarthy, and his dangerous minions known as the “House Un-American Activities Committee”. Write, edit, and produce real-time news segments powerful enough to capture a disinterested public’s attention.

Capote
Getting the truth behind a shockingly vicious murder is up to you and a wise-cracking, gun-toting martini who rides on your shoulder. Use your devastating “Flamboyance” “Wit” and “Big City Aura of Importance” combinations to persuade two murderers and a small mid-western town that you’ve got their best interests at heart (not really!) and thereby change the face of non-fiction literature.

Brokeback Mountain
Navigate the dangerous waters of life as a closeted gay man in this dramatic role-playing adventure. Play as either Jack Twist or Ennis Del Mar. Tend the herd, ride in the rodeo, and live a solitary life of unspeakable loneliness, all while keeping your feelings hidden from a multi-leveled world that can’t understand you. Then, break the bricks to get all the gold coins.

March of the Penguins
Experience the thrilling journey of a penguin as it marches single file to its arctic mating grounds. Suitable for all ages. No controller needed.

New Club forĀ Team-Based Learning

5/30/2015

 
Team-Based Learning is a concept that helps student being engaged in the learning process, it is a new concept that is used with a success by online classes offering GED programs. We would like to invite all teams to join our virtual club, once a month we will organize Google Hangout and share our experiences.


What is Team-bases Learning


Shifting from simply familiarizing students with course concepts to requiring that students really use people concepts to solve problems is not any small task. Creating this change requires modifications within the roles of both instructors and students. The instructor’s primary role changes from shelling out information to making and manipulating the general training process as well as the student’s role changes from being passive visitors of understanding to at least one of accepting responsibility for your initial connection with this program content to make sure that they'll be prepared for the in-class team leadership. Changes from the magnitude don't happen instantly and, based on think about your experience, could even seem to become dreams rather than achievable details.

They are, however, highly reliable benefits when the four essential facets of TBL are effectively implemented. These essential elements are:

• Groups - groups ought to be properly produced and handled,

• Accountability - students should result in the caliber of the person and group work,

• Feedback - students must receive frequent and timely feedback, and

• Assignment Design - group projects must promote both learning and team development. When these four essential elements are implemented in the course, happens is positioned for student groups .

How To Choose The Right Courses

5/28/2015

 
Deciding what courses you should register for is almost as stressful as working through the courses themselves. You could be signing yourself up for an easy A or a semester of hard work and tough grading. Through my collegiate experiences as a student and my work as an educator I have picked up a few tips for choosing the courses that will fit you best.

Get Requirements Out Of The Way. No matter what major, minor, or certificate you are working towards you are going to have required courses. Most programs have courses set in a particular order that you can’t really stray from but there are usually a few choices that you can make. The natural tendency is to put off harder courses or ones with a teacher you do not like. My advice it to get required courses done early. No one wants their last semester of senior year to be the toughest. Bite the bullet and do the things you have to do as soon as possible. This will allow you to do the things you want to later on.
