Ciao The Careers Advisor

Advantages: Interesting
Disadvantages: none

...The Education and Careers section I ciao is probably one of the most friendly and competitive sections on Ciao! Education & Careers covers 4 main sub sections, Higher/Further education, Careers and placements, Gap Years & Alternative Activities and finally Books and guides. The Higher & further education section basically is competitive amongst those who love their university I know I have written on praising Liverpool University. As well as this there are some valuable opinions on people that have left different universities and why definitely worth a read if you are making the move in the next year. Not so popular in this section is reviews of specific courses at university but who wants to write about there course there are so many more interesting things to write about university life. This section also contains valuable...

unmissable educational advice

Advantages: superb ops that help you
Disadvantages: ......................

...As a student looking towards the daunting but ominously looming fate known as FUTURE, there are many possibilities that may fall my way! University, jobs, apprenticeships, gap years and other further educational options all are starting to poke their ugly heads round into my sugar coated A level life! My college are constantly bombarding me with helpful leaflets and info sheets telling me what to do, and careers guides are scribbling down library books and internet addresses where I can draw advice from! It was not until I was rating a well written opinion that I realized CIAO was full of people who had been there, or were going through it that had kindly written their thoughts, ideas, advantages and places to avoid all in one archive! I decided it was time to head onto the section I had missed for so long! That’s right, I entered...

Friends For Life - A new Incentive for Primary Education

Advantages: Preparing our children for the stresses of our modern world
Disadvantages: none

...~~~~Friends For Life ~~~~ Prevention of Anxiety & Depression in Children. (Before you start reading this review - I will warn you that it is a long review, my longest to date, but if you can take on board what is about you will see that this programme can also help adults that find coping with life stressful and sometimes so difficult that they can suffer with depression). This Primary Education Programme is something new to our school and the area. For the past 8 weeks I have been privileged to work with the school nurse and her team on a new initiation, from Australia, that helps prevent ?Anxiety and Depression? children. ?What ? Anxiety & Depression in children?? I hear some of you ask. It?s true - recent studies have shown that in today?s fast moving more people...

*Knowledge Management - the lost art*

Advantages: excellent organisation is paramount
Disadvantages: without it your at sea without a compass

...CIAO Review - Knowledge Management - the lost art. ~the importance of 'Knowledge Management' at work~ dated 23/11/2007 * Hi, I thought I would publish online the role of this supposedly forgotton technique 'Knowledge Management'. I hope this report will help you with your career paths.* -Knowledge Management in business - Your business is only as good as your Manager's 'Knowledge Management Skills'. Every Manager possesses some form of management skill that got them to their current position; but the ones who incorporate 'Knowledge Management' in their team, are the ones that do succeed, and in return have an edge on their counterparts. Traditionally, some employees see information and knowledge as 'power' and are very reluctant to share information with other employees. Many of us think the sharing of information in this...

Educational fun.

Advantages: Versatilty, price.
Disadvantages: The pencil is a little too thin

...This is the first handheld console I have ever owned. I'm 27 years old. The main reason I purchased the DS was so I could play 'Brain Training Games' or other Educational games. I played on a friends and found it very entertaining, I figured that if I bought one myself I'd challenge myself mentally and wouldn't just sit around watching TV! The best thing about the DS is the genre of games available for it, similar to the WII - Nintendo decided to target a different audience than the stereotypical gamers. I feel the succeeded in doing so. I read an article that a school had introduced the use of Nintendo DSs into children's mathematics lesson, with results of better learning and improved concentration. I am also a teacher and my children loved testing their knowledge on various maths games. The feel of the DS is also very nice...

A career in SALT?

Advantages: Excellent book with lots of relevent information
Disadvantages: None!

...set out like this as if I don't know what an abbreviation means I can flip straight to the beginning of the book and take a look. Examples, I CAN - A charity that helps children with Speech and Language difficulties RCSLT - Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists SENCo - Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator ~ Introduction - Frequently asked questions ~ This part makes really easy reading as the answers to the questions are not too long but give enough detail to satisfy. Some of the questions include: Is it an easy job? What are the career prospects? Should I learn Sign Language? And, What other professionals will I work with? I think this is an effective start to the book as it gives a brief overview of what is involved in the career. *Part I - Speech and Language Therapy as a Career* There are 9 chapters...

An Education in Great Cinema

Advantages: Great story, Brilliant acting - another classic from Almodovar
Disadvantages: None worth mentioning

...Bad Education (or La Mala Educación) is the latest film (released 2004) from the great Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar. Anyone who has an interest in Spanish cinema will know Almodóvar as the director of such excellent films as ?Talk to Her? and ?All About My Mother?. Bad Education stars Gael Garcia Bernal, the Mexican heart-throb who has appeared in a whole list of films, not least ?The Motorcycle Diaries?, ?Amores Perros? and ?Y tu Mamá También?. The film is subtitled, so if you can?t handle that then read no further (but you are missing such a lot). **** Plot Summary **** In 1980 Madrid Enrique Goded (Fele Martinez) is a young successful film director searching newspapers for an idea for a story for a new film. The doorbell rings and a bearded young man enters claiming to be Enrique?s old school friend Ignacio Rodriguez...

Education Studies at SHU

Advantages: Friendly staff, keep job options open, Sheffield, Work Experience
Disadvantages: Work Placements aren't always as hoped for

...in education and that's why I chose this course. Open your eyes ---------------------- One of the things that is encouraged on this course is opening your eyes to the world around you. Considering that there are other jobs in education other than teaching, considering that perhaps there is a job out there that is more suited to you than teaching. However many of the people on the course do want to be teachers (I'd say around 60%) and the staff are more than happy to support you through that too. I am in my third year now, the year tutor has opened a careers section on the Education Studies blackboard (online student space) to inform us of events taking place that may be helpful (e.g. a teaching fair). She has also gone out of her way to arrange talks about different kinds of careers and how to apply for them (e.g. applying...

DECISIONS DECISIONS

Advantages: See op
Disadvantages: See op

...Can you remember back to when you were sixteen and coming up to finishing school? Or maybe you are at that stage of your life right now. Well apart from downing cider on park benches and arranging your love life, you need to sort your life out too. After you have done your GCSE's you need to make important decisions. In fact you will need to make these decisions earlier than that and would be best off to start thinking about what you want to do right at the beginning of year 11 or even year 10. So what are your choices? -Leave school and go to work If you are sure this is for you and you have a specific career you want to go into, then go for it. But do not be surprised if you find it difficult to get a job at the age of 16 with no experience and only GCSE's. If you find yourself six months after GCSE's being at home...

So you want to be a Carer

Advantages: Very rewarding
Disadvantages: Not overpaid, anti social hours.

...So you want an education or career in Caring ? then first you will need some groundwork on the sort of issues that it covers, and whether you think that is the right environment for you. The politics of disability has changed over the centuries, for the better, by improved access facilities, conducted by predominantly changes in society towards disability (voting power) improved information on disability (by census records on such as the "Prevalence of Disability amongst Adults"and technological advancements such as the neuroscience Institute of Experimental Science, Hungary. The development of cities and mass water supplies from the Middle Ages led to huge outbreaks of water related disease, which in turn led to the authorities needing to determine the what, where, when, why and who of various outbreaks, such as cholera (which...
