TECHNICAL CURRICULUM
1. Lynda.com is a great online technical school. All that you want to know and learn about computer software is here.
2. Udacity is a terrific school. Lots of courses for free. Yes!
3. Udemy.com is another great online technical school. If your son or daughter wants to learn, this is the place. If your daughter or boy wants to improve on their knowledge, these are the places. Here is a brief endorsement of Udemy from a subscriber at Bill Myers’ site:
“I have subscribed to about 10 courses on Udemy. Three of them were free, the rest of them range in price from $29 to $180. I always wait for the half-price offers from Udemy, but I really like the fact that there’s no time limit for completion of the course and that it’s always there whenever you want to watch.
They offer a 30-day trial, which is great. One course I subscribed to was very good, but it had absolutely nothing for me because it turned out to be based on using Adobe Illustrator. Udemy refunded my money within two hours.
You can download courses, transfer them to a Kindle Fire or your laptop for viewing offline. I have seen the courses offered increase at a rapid pace, which . . . also noted Udemy’s growing popularity.” Check out this of Udemy courses for $10 each. Use the code UDLEARNFEST to get that price.

SPEECH TIPS
1. from Gary North . . .
Say at the beginning that you are speaking for free as a favor the the sponsoring organization. Say how much you appreciate the outfit. You may get invited back.
Give a speech on “30 tips in 30 minutes.” Do a handout of the list of tips.
At the end of the printout, offer a free written copy of your talk. Post it on your website, but don’t make it visible. To receive the link to the speech, they must sign up to your eletter. I assume your eletter software allows this.

When they hire you as a tutor, parents trust you with their children’s educational growth, college students rely on your help to pass their classes, and adult learners invest in your skills to advance their careers. Tell the reader what qualifies you for that important responsibility. Depending on your qualifications, items to highlight could include teaching and tutoring experience, educational degrees, certifications, awards, and job experience in specific subject areas. A communication arts tutor, for example, should reference published articles, and a science tutor could list his research experience and science degree.
