			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As parents we all want our children to do well at school. Sometimes, however, children have problems, and a guardian in May the best solution. In the busy and demanding world of today, the extra time and expense of hiring a tutor is not particularly welcome. However, you can be sure that does not address the difficulties your child will cost you more time and money in the long term.</p>
<p>Sometimes, the school will provide a tutor. The teacher of your child is most directly involved in your child&#8217;s learning and may be the first to spot problems. But if you notice a pattern of behavior has changed and poorer school performance, take the initiative to consult with your child&#8217;s teacher and determine whether a guardian is necessary. If this seems to be the best solution, are three steps you must take: to find potential mentors, choosing a guardian, and monitoring.</p>
<p><strong>FIND TUTORS</strong><br />
<span id="more-40"></span><br />
1. Ideally, you will be able to find a tutor by friends who have used one and can give you first hand information about an individual tutor.<br />
2. The school (usually a consultant) can often put you in contact with potential tutors<br />
3. Parent groups (such as home school organizations) can help. Some keep lists of tutors.<br />
4. The Internet is a good source to <a title="Find A Tutor" href="http://www.tutoringservices.com" target="_blank"><strong>find tutors</strong></a> in your area.</p>
<p><strong>CHOOSE A TUTOR</strong></p>
<p>You should interview several tutors before deciding which is the best match for your child. In general, look for the ability to &#8220;connect&#8221; with your child and a willingness to work with your child&#8217;s teachers as needed. Be prepared to ask specific questions, and feel free to ask for documentation, if applicable.</p>
<p>1. What are the formal powers of the guardian and experience, especially teaching children in the age of your child?<br />
2. Ask for references and background checks.<br />
3. What assessment procedures using guardian to determine how best to tutor your child?<br />
4. Make sure the schedule is clear (about 3 hours per week is usually better in 2 or three sessions). 5. Learn about the policies of the tutor for cancellations and rescheduling, whether by you or by the guardian.<br />
5. What are the costs and what are the payment terms. These should always be made in writing.</p>
<p><strong>THEREAFTER</strong></p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve chosen a guardian, you will need to monitor your child&#8217;s progress. Make sure he or she is the guardian gives missions. Discuss with the tutor and your child&#8217;s teacher frequently and receive feedback on progress.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online Courses do not have to be the electronic adoption of the traditional correspondence course in which participant activity and engagement have often been nominal. When online courses are active, e-learners create valuable learning communities, build friendships, and share in online experiences that have similar characteristics and results as those of the conventional classroom. The following ten tips will help bring active learning to your online courses.</p>
<p>1. Establish clear expectations for participation. The expectations for participation in a classroom course are typically recognizable through the course agenda, syllabus, or time line. For online courses, however, these norms for participation are less frequently established or recognized by participants and should therefore be clarified by the instructor.<span id="more-38"></span></p>
<p>2. Provide etiquette guidelines for online communications. Rules, policies, and recommendations for how participants should interact during an active online course are best communicated at teh beginning of the course. For example, avoid sarcasm, idioms, jargon, and slang.</p>
<p>3. Test-drive any and all technology. Prior to assigning activities that use online technology, the associated tools should be tested by both you and the course participants, Identifying technical problems before course activities begin can save you time as well as a variety of hassles.</p>
<p>4. Create an effective teaching environment. Just as a loud radio or television would divert your attention while facilitating a classroom activity, online technologies can distract you from online engagement just as easily. As a result, it is best to avoid multitasking while teaching online.</p>
<p>5. Don&#8217;t try to do it all the first time. Activities and games for creating engaging online courses are as numerous as your imagination, although too much of a good thing can often lead to problems for participants.</p>
<p>6. Write comments and questions in advance. When teaching an online course, you should prepare for discussions, especially &#8220;live&#8221; chat room discussion, ahead of time using your word processing program. By typing questions or comments beforehand, you can simply cut and paste them into the chat room discussion at the appropriate time without having to delay the conversation.</p>
<p>7. Require informative subject lines. Given the volume of online communications in most any e-learning course, using and requiring detailed subject lines is essential to course organization and management.</p>
<p>8. Get participants involved. The most frequent complaint of online learners is a feeling of isolation from hte learning community. Using online groups, engaging activities, frequent discussion topics, and other active learning strategies can reduce teh anxiety of participants by helping them establish online relationships with their peers.</p>
<p>9. Review and reflect. Online courses provide you and the participants with unprecedented documentation of what was taught, referenced, discussed, and decided in an online course, all of which can be used effectively to review and reflect on the course experiences.</p>
<p>10. Expect the unexpected. Any course that relies on technology will experience a variety of technical &#8220;melt downs&#8221; from time to time. Although technology contingency plans are vital, an online instructor must remain flexible and patient.</p>
