College Admissions Meets The Social Networking Age

Welcome to the social networking age. Now, Facebook and Myspace are as much a part of a person’s social circle as friends at school and around the neighborhood. Social networking provides a way for people to connect with classmates, work associates, family members and friends as well as exchange news and ideas, post work, meet people, blog, post photos and videos and do just about anything. As far as education is concerned, this provides a new, wonderful way for a scholarship committee to get to know the people that are the prospective winners of college scholarships a little better.

Recently, univeristies began using some of the different social networking tools and the Internet for college promotion and recruiting. Students are already able to do a university and college search on the internet to get more information about schools and read through their web pages. College admissions requirements and recruiting information is posted online on school sites and others as well. A number of universities and colleges now offer and ask that admissions applications and test scores be submitted on the internet to simplify the process of applying. Social networking is also easing the process for college admissions screening and recruiting through electronic submittal.

A children’s sandbox is one of the best activity centers you can give to a child and is a great tool for home education. Sandboxes can provide infinite possibilities for your child’s imagination. The sand offers a landscape for your child to explore anyone of their little interests, be it dinosaurs or animals, trucks, transformers, bugs or sea creatures you name it. The sandbox is also a magnificent tool for early childhood education. They are ideal for backyards, daycare centers and provide a landscape for dozens of kindergarten games.

Children need little encouragement to get their imaginations rolling, but there are some things as parents we can do to help them have even more fun. Besides the obvious necessary toys in the sandbox, such as toy buckets, shovels, rakes etc. try letting them play with other toys such as their little rubber dinosaurs, or their toy kitchen stuff. One fun idea is to fill a small bucket with water and then burry it right up to the rim and let the kids pretend it’s a pond or a sink even a great ocean or pit of lava. Another fun thing to do is to create a game such as find the treasure, where one kid turns around while the other hides the treasure then acting as an angry pirate the other kid tries to find the lost treasure. Perhaps you can watch a video on archeology then go outside and carefully unveil some ancient pottery from the sandbox using small shovels and paintbrushes.  Read more...

Forensic Psychology</a> & Just What do Real Forensic Psychologists do?

What is the difference between a clinical psychologist and forensic psychologist? Take this example: There’s a car accident. The passenger is emotionally traumatized and voluntarily hires a psychologist. The treatment is clinical in nature and designed to assist the client in recovering from the trauma. Because of her trauma, she sues the driver. A second psychologist is asked to provide a legal report for the court on the woman regarding the extent of the trauma, and to assess the psychological damage incurred. This second psychologist is providing forensic services.

In forensic psychology, a forensic psychologist is responsible for collecting and assessing factual data related to legal cases. Forensic psychologists may work with victims or criminals, with trial lawyers as a consultants or expert witnesses, with public administrators to formulate public policy on psychology and the law.
