I need help on amazon?

I am a student and i need the eighth edition of Economics by Roger A. Arnold. On amazon I found this:

When a textbook is a "custom" edition it means that it has been customized to a specific school's specifications. This can mean that examples and questions could be different from the standard publication or extra notes or workbook section could have been added...or it might be almost identical to the standard edition, possibly with only the addition of the school's name to the cover or title page. If the book was not intended for use specifically in the class you are taking at your school then I would avoid a custom textbook, it will just end up causing you problems since there is no way of knowing when you're buying it secondhand what changes have been made.

The function of these custom text is basically to make money for the school (they receive royalties for each copy sold) and to increase sales for the publisher by making secondhand sales of their texts essentially impossible (some even put a statement on the book itself, like Gideon bibles, that they are not to be bought or sold used).

Here are a couple of articles that explain what the deal is with custom textbooks if you're want to know more.

Would anyone recommend teaching music in college and hows the job opportunities?

I have a BA in elementary education K-5 grades with a minor in music. I have a vast music backround. I dont want to teach little kids anymore in schools. I want to teach in college or adults. How are the college teaching jobs in universities? Are there alot of openings? My college told me that music jobs are hard to get and they hire very few. Its not good. Im not sure if they are trying to discourage me from getting their jobs but thats what it looks like. I want to teach music technology , piano and theory areas. Are there jobs available in these areas? And what colleges or states have these? Any special ones i should move to? What states have good music departments ? Hows California, New York or Texas?

...copied and pasted from your other question...

As a graduate student in piano performance, I'd have to say that my general observations are pretty much in line with what your former college has told you...jobs are highly competitive.

For any reasonable chance at a professor position in piano (or any other instrumental performance) you need to get a doctorate...preferably a DMA (performance degree). Or you could win an international competition.

In general, the same applies for theory positions. You'd need a PhD. While this requirement has pretty much been an unspoken rule the last decade, I've seen many of these announcements for professor openings, and they often literally state that a doctoral degree is required.

As for Music Tech, these requirements might be more flexible. I'm sure you would, however, at least need to have a bachelor's in music technology. As for my music technology professor at school, he is a doctor.

If this is something you really want to pursue, you'll need to either go back to school, get very lucky, or maybe even both. Good luck though. Try to work through your connections. Without a doubt, that is your best bet.

This September thousands of children will start Kindergarten. For many this will be their first exposure to formal education. Kindergarten is no longer just a place to play or an extension of preschool. Serious learning goes on in Kindergarten, granted it is hidden within a lot of fun. Naturally you want your child to be as prepared as possible before the big "First Day of School". Follows are some fun and educational activities for the summer before Kindergarten.

Math Activities - The great thing about five-year-olds is that they are always ready to learn new games and as long as they're having fun, they don't realize they're learning too. In Kindergarten, students learn about counting (forward and backward), counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, putting things in order (first, second, third), money and telling time to the hour.

Teaching a child to count simply requires repetition. Try to fit counting into every activity. Count pages of books, pieces of candy, number of toys, etc. There are loads of books out there about counting as well as some good games for small children. Cherry-Oh! has always been one of my children's favorites. The Internet is also a wonderful source of free math activities including free printable play money to practice with.

Science Activities - Obviously five-year-olds aren't interested in learning boring old lab experiments nor are they appropriate for young children. Luckily science is everywhere in the world around us. Kindergartens will be learning basic facts about plants and animals, sorting objects based on physical characteristics, light shadow, magnets, weather and the five senses. A perfect activity to teach kids about plants is to let them grow their own small plant - sunflowers and marigolds are hardy and easy to grow. A trip to the zoo is a good interactive activity to learn about animals while the library and the Internet can provide information on animals not found locally. During clean-up or crafts activities, your child can practice sorting. Ask your child to put all the round toys away first or all the blue toys. Eventually work up to characteristics like soft/hard, and smooth/rough. Teaching your child about magnets can be easy too. If you have a refrigerator magnets (not fancy ones) or home office magnets, collect items around the house that are picked up and some items that are not picked up by a magnet. Place everything on the table in front of your child. Before your child uses the magnet on each group of objects, have your child guess what will happen. Borrow some books from the library about the four seasons and the weather that goes along with them. Every morning, ask your child to look outside and tell you what the weather is like. You can draw or trace and cut out picture symbols representing each season and ask your child to match the object with the right season. Actually you can probably find print-outs online for each season.

Music Activities - Music activities are the most fun of all. If your five-year-old is anything like other five-year-olds, they love to make noise! Most libraries now let people borrow music and videos as well as books. Borrow some music of famous composers. I'm sure you can also find online clips of classical, opera, folk, jazz, and other types of music. Spend the summer creating your own "orchestra." Create drums from empty containers, symbols from pan lids; you can make maracas, guitars, chimes and horns. You may need to pick up some basic materials but most of the items you most likely already own.Sharing these activities with your child won't only better prepare your five-year-old for Kindergarten; it will also make the summer unbelievably fun.

Much is said about the current recession. People complain about how the economic crisis makes your life worse. The economic recession often refers to two quarters of negative economic growth. A severe recession lasting more than two years, is a depression.

A recession is marked by rising unemployment, increasing debt burden of the state, reducing the share and stock prices and under investment. All these features affect people.

People have a basic understanding of the negative impact of recovery. But how does an ordinary consumer to maintain employment crisis particularly affected, it is not really clear.

John Schmitt and Dean Baker released a new report on the possible impact of recession as the expected economic impact for the next recession this year. The 2008 report of the recession in the United States is perceived to increase the national employment rate from 2.1 to 3.8 percentage points. This is equivalent to 3.2 million and 5.8 million unemployed Americans. Calculated Risk contained in this report and the history of U.S. recession, which is based on the economic crisis, how high the number of unemployed persons increased measured.

Based on the history of U.S. recession, there were a handful of times when the unemployment rate rose to enlargement.

Unemployment rose from 0.5 percent and there have been cases this will be less. The essence of these scenarios, if the country is in recession. When the unemployment rate reached 0.6 percent, the economy, which is described in a recession. This year, the U.S. unemployment rate about 1.1 percent.

Economists have not yet been officially marked a downturn in the U.S. as an economic recession. Amid falling home equity, the rising cost of food, health and housing to an alarming number of unemployment that economists still argue that there is still a developing economy, though small. We saw no need for an official announcement really feel the recession coming in

According to the Miami Herald, the unemployed receive from despair. The number or people out of work for six months or more increased by 160,000 between July and August. There is a 10.7 per cent of people who want to make a full time job but is unable to do so. Given the lack of jobs.

No matter when you have a college degree under his arm. This year's graduates also face the highest unemployment rate since 2004, with 2.7 percent. Meanwhile, 9.6 percent of high school graduates are unemployed and this figure is also higher growth rate since 1996.

Most job losses in the manufacturing sector lost 61,000 jobs this year. In manufacturing, the Miami Herald reported losing 20 percent of employment, despite the increase in export figures.

Even if the salary or wages increased 3.6 percent compared with 2007 levels is not sufficient in comparison with the rapid increase in raw material prices. The consumer purchasing power remains low. Food and beverage costs are 5.8 percent more than in 2007.

For those who were initially employed and lucky stars, there are still soft. Companies are already reducing health insurance for their employees. Today, $ 694 and $ 3281 respectively, according to the latest data from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Depression is something that was very important to be difficult for everyone. We hope that the economic reality should be recognized immediately in order to adequately address and resolve.

Do you want to start using stories in the preschool ESL classroom but don't know where to start? There are many great pre-k activities for ESL classrooms, including games, but it's also very important to not discount the power of stories. Whether you're reading a classic book, making up a story as you go along or designing a story specifically for a particular lesson, you'll want to be sure to include stories in the preschool ESL class every day.

One of the reasons why stories work so well in the ESL preschool classroom has to do with intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is the theory that people are motivated by internal factors. Children of preschool age do not understand the external factors that might motivate an adult to decide to learn a second language, so as a teacher it's up to you to create a classroom that internally motivates them to participate in the activities and, ultimately, learn the language you are teaching.

Stories are perfect for teaching young ESL students because children already love stories and are already motivated at the thought of listening to one. In addition to that, when children listen to the stories, they are able to internalise the language structure and will eventually begin recognize words and phrases they hear in the stories. Besides, there are so many ways to use them in the classroom that the possibilities with stories are practically endless. Here are some possibilities on how you can use stories in your classroom:

Teach Vocabulary

Before you use a story in the ESL preschool classroom, you'll need to teach the students the key vocabulary words to they are able to follow the story. Thus the story can serve as a basis for drawing vocabulary words. It goes deeper than that, however. The students will not just "learn" the words, they will immediately see how the words are used and hear them in context of the language. This is so much more beneficial to the students than simply memorizing a list of words.

Vary Your Classroom Activities

Telling a story adds variety to your lessons in terms of content and pace. Preschoolers don't have a terribly long attention span, so you'll want to vary your activities throughout the class period. Changing your activities every five to ten minutes is appropriate for this age group - and that's a great length of time to spend telling a story. Furthermore, preschool students have a ton of energy, so you'll want to have some activities that allow them to burn this energy. To keep the class from getting out of control, use a story after a boisterous activity to allow everyone enough time to settle down before moving onto something else. Remember also that you can tell the same stories over and over again.

Be Creative

Whenever you tell a story allow your creativity show through. Have fun with it and go with the flow. Make animal sounds, change your voice, sing little songs and, most of all, use gestures. You might even be able to get some of your students to go along with you when it comes to animal sounds, songs and gestures.

Introduce Other Activities

Stories are a great jumping board for other activities. Here is just a sampling of activities you could do following a story:

* Give each student a picture that depicts the events of the story and have them line up in order of the events.

* Have the students come up with a title for the story. Allow as many titles as students who'd like to share one.

* Repeat quotes from the story and ask the students "Who said it?"

* Leave off the ending of the story and have the students predict what they think will happen. Then, read the ending of the story.

* Encourage the children to look for patterns in the story. Have them guess, for example, what the character will say if there is a pattern in what the character says.

* Teach them a song that goes along with the theme of the story.

* Teach them actions to go along with the songs.

* Let them act out parts of the story.

* Set up stations that allow them to dress up like characters in the story and do things the characters in the story did. So, if the characters in the story decorated cookies, give them some time to decorate cookies.

* Tell a story to introduce a new unit.

* Give the students three events in the story and ask them what came first.

* Have the students draw a picture about their favourite part of the story and then explain it to the class.

* Let the students tell about a similar experience they might have had.

There are so many things you can do with stories in the ESL classroom. Just let your imagination go and soon so will the imaginations of your students!

Christians, do you think a preschooler should be homeschooled or in preschool?

I have a son who just turned four this week, they have vpk and I am looking into it. I live with my mother while I am getting my degree in elementary education, I have two more years to go. I have been with my son since he was born except for the occasional trip to the store, or my college to take a test or something like that. My mother works in the schools and insists that he needs to go to vpk from a teacher other than me to learn to take direction and socialize. I kind of agree, but he will be going four days a week if he goes, and for four hours a day. Isn't this alot to be away from his mother? He is only four, not fourteen. I feel like I will be letting him down and giving my motherly responsibilities to someone else, it is really making me sad. Should I just homeschool him and socialize through other supervised less time stressing activities? What is your opinion? We are Christian and I really want to do what is wanted by God.

If you don't have the time to give your son a good pre-school education then a preschool is the second best option.

Bien que des recherches sur cette question, les soins infirmiers des programmes en ligne de doctorat, j'ai réalisé que ce n'est plus assez bon pour être un médecin, ou tout simplement pour être une infirmière, mais vous devez être un médecin, une infirmière! Même s'il peut paraître stupide, voire de confusion, l'obtention d'un doctorat en sciences infirmières est en effet très demandé après que ce statut, en particulier pour ceux qui travaillent dans le milieu universitaire. Prenez, par exemple, John Welton, Ph.D., RN est professeur agrégé à l'École des sciences infirmières de l'Université médicale de Caroline du Sud, qui répond au titre de Dr Welton. Curieusement, le Dr Welton a commencé sa carrière comme un chasseur, d'ambulance, qui est, il a commencé sa propre entreprises d'ambulance aérienne dans la fin de 1980 alors qu'il terminait son Master of Science en gestion des soins infirmiers de l'Université de Caroline du Nord à Charlotte. En dix ans, industrieuse Welton a obtenu son doctorat, et, ce faisant, a développé une passion pour l'informatique infirmière. Pendant ses études universitaires, il a tenu une position dans les unités hospitalières de soins intensifs, qui se développent et maintiennent des bases de données de qualité et de prise en charge clinique. Dr Welton a commencé allaitent leurs passions carrière après avoir reçu son diplôme en 1980, quand il se lance dans le domaine des soins intensifs et des soins infirmiers de vol jusqu'en 1993. Inutile de dire que, pas étonnant que vous avez une passion de plus en plus la valeur économique des soins infirmiers - en particulier s'ils sont payés un salaire pour la recherche! Sûrement les coûts associés à l'exploitation des soins infirmiers de doctorat en ligne les programmes sont beaucoup plus rentable que l'enseignement traditionnel en classe.

Welton dit que sa passion est venue à partir d'études fondées sur des pratiques de soins infirmiers social de la fin du 20e 19e et au début, lorsque les infirmières travaillent comme entrepreneurs indépendante plutôt que affiliée à un hôpital ou une clinique. Affirme que est fortement influencée par les études de Florence Nightingale décrire la recherche différences dans la mortalité des patients dans les hôpitaux de Londres, ainsi que les moyens de lier la qualité et la sécurité avec les coûts des soins infirmiers. En conséquence, Welton parle d'établir un prix pour les soins infirmiers, bien que les noms de tout montant en dollars et comme un moyen de mesurer à la fois la contribution Clinique et l'impact économique des infirmières pour les soins aux patients sur une base individuelle - semblable à la façon (en théorie) les médecins sont payés. La base réside dans le fait que la plupart des systèmes de santé, frais de soins sont budgétisés dans le coût global des soins aux patients, qui comprend d'autres coûts tels que l'approvisionnement - Tous sont calculées dans le budget de fonctionnement d'un hôpital. Au lieu de continuer sur cette voie, il recommande que le retour à l'hôpital à l'ancienne de la facturation des soins infirmiers réels remis à chaque patient par l'infirmière. Il imagine que ce serait une forte modèle d'affaires économique de payer les infirmières en fonction de temps et les coûts par patient, y compris les ajustements de salaire pour les patients qui nécessitent des soins intensifs, au lieu de disperser le montant minimum de personnel entre le maximum nombre de patients.

Si tout ce qui semble difficile à réaliser dans la vie, ce professeur de soins infirmiers des programmes doctoraux en ligne MUSC est aussi le District Coordonnateur des urgences en service de radioamateur d'urgence, un photographe passionné et un amoureux de la littérature à bon marché. Il a un passe-temps, toutefois, voyager avec son épouse.

What are the best counties in georgia to teach and live in?

I am a NYC teacher looking to relocate. I am concerned about salary, cost of living, crime, and diversity. I would like to work in a county where there is teacher support, an attractive salary, a community where crime rate is low and there is diversity. I also would like to be in a close prximity to Atlanta. 30 mins.

Cobb County School Systems sound like a good choice for you. It is about a 20-30 minute drive to Downtown Atlanta. Pay is pretty good and housing is not as expensive as it is directly in Atlanta. The pay is probably less than what you received as a teacher working in New York but remember the cost of living is a lot less. You may want to consider living in the Calhoun/Adairsville/Catersville area and then commuting to work in Cobb County. Housing is much cheaper in this area and it is only 20-30 minutes away from Cobb County. Good Luck in your search. Below is the website for Cobb County Schools District and the pay scale. If you have any questions please contact me at thetravelingmartins@yahoo.com
