Lay offs and unemployment from the education industry, however, are primarily at the public school level. Private schools are still hiring strong; in May 2009 alone, 57,000 employees were hired in the education industry. Private schools make up over 90,000 establishments of hiring institutions. Students looking to pursue an occupation in the education industry may be interested by the online master of education degree. The online master of education degree offers the benefits of distance learning and the skill sets for a rewarding career in education. A minimum of a master degree is required to teach at the college level, which makes the online master of education degree ideal for students pursuing an occupation in a private university.]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2009/07/30/online-master-of-education-degree-and-the-education-industry/feed/ 7 http://blog.degreego.com/2009/07/15/ipod-as-an-educational-tool/ http://blog.degreego.com/2009/07/15/ipod-as-an-educational-tool/#comments Wed, 15 Jul 2009 20:28:08 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=184 Music teachers are praising the iPod for their classrooms. A teacher calls his blog in an iPod world. Elementary schools have systems developed for how to incorporate iPods into basic education. The concept of using iPods as study tools is not new. Since the introduction of mp3 players, tools were being made to utilize them beyond their music potential. It's no different than the TI-83 calculator that could whimsically do twelve other applications, including the wonderful game of Tetris. The iPod allows students to do more than listen to music. As a media tool, it offers students the ability to have a computer in their pocket, benefiting from today's entertainment technology in new and interesting ways. For an online student, an Internet-ready iPod could allow going to class without the laptop; check your e-mails from the comfort of your handheld device.]]> http://blog.degreego.com/2009/07/15/ipod-as-an-educational-tool/feed/ 6 http://blog.degreego.com/2009/06/11/five-differences-between-campus-and-distance-learning/ http://blog.degreego.com/2009/06/11/five-differences-between-campus-and-distance-learning/#comments Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:58:35 +0000 Kourtnie McKenzie http://blog.degreego.com/?p=75 accredited online university offers the same benefits as a campus-based university, the experiences are not entirely the same.
