Creating a Household Technology Plan
Planning is necessary for nearly every area of our lives. As parents we plan for how our children will be educated, where we will live, what type of house we want, what type of jobs or businesses we want for income, and even for retirement life. In many cases, if we want the best outcome, we plan for it.
As a technology expert and concerned parent, in this teleseminar, Mr. Dabney will discuss the importance of planning for household technology and the very simple elements that can give everyone a clear P.I.C.T.U.R.E.
One of the very important topics he will be addressing is internet safety. As parents, all of us face the challenge of knowing what guidelines to provide for our children as they use the Internet. We all want to keep our children safe and it is important that we know how we can do this. Mr. Dabney will speak to this very relevant issue answering such questions as:
1) What are some of the dangers children face online?
2) How can I as a parent limit what my child is exposed to online?
3) What are some of the warning signs that my child may be involved in something improper online?
4) How can I monitor my child's social media activity?
5) What is the most important tip for keeping my child safe online?
Please join us as we all learn to become wiser parents, making the most of technology for the good of our children!
OCTOBER 2011 TELECLASS
Date: Thursday, October 27th
Time: 8:30 p.m. CST
Topic: Accelerated Mathematics
Speaker: Dr. Miles Jones, creator of Jones Geniuses Accelerated Education
Cost: FREE for NBHE members, $5 for non members
Accelerated Mathematics from Baby Steps to College
Every parent typically reaches a point where they want or need to accelerate their child’s achievement in mathematics. Often this is the result of traditional math courses having failed. A child may be behind and need to catch up fast or a parent may be watching a brilliant child eager to learn who is simply not being challenged by standardized coursework. All parents, at some point, rightfully ask themselves, is this the best my child can do? Isn’t there something better out there than this glacial math curriculum that takes 4-6 years just to teach the multiplication tables? Here is the answer to that wish.
Dr. Miles Jones, renown international expert in accelerated learning, will conduct a seminar on how to accelerate your child’s math education from their baby steps up to college prep. You will learn the three simple levels of skill needed to be prepared to go into algebra, geometry and beyond and ace those subjects. It starts with baby steps: how to master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; how to master factoring (considered to be the Fundamental Principle of Mathematics), and how to master fractions the last hurdle before higher math. Along the way students learn how to master word problems, math applications, rapid mental calculation, and memory training. Dr. Jones has produced elementary school mathematicians that have competed against and beat college math professors armed with electronic calculators! The elementary students do the math problems in their head, the professors have calculators and the kids are still first with correct answers. Come hear the fabulous story of Jones Geniuses and how it can boost the inner genius of your own child. For more information go to: jonesgeniuses.com.
