Self-Directed Learning - Discover 7 Reasons Why Self-Directed Learning Will Bring You Freedom

If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning. Carl Rogers

More and more people around the globe are starting to pursue an independent modality of education. The Internet has made it possible. Now that we are in the Information Age, a good education is literally at the tips of our fingers. Only 10 or 20 years ago concepts like e-learning, distance learning, self study and informal learning were unthinkable of.

Nevertheless, independent ways of learning are as old as humankind.

And they are by far the most effective.

Why?

Because self-directed learning brings freedom!

Here are 7 reasons why:

1.- Freedom to engage in an area of your own choice rather than following a curriculum designed by another. Each one of us has a distinctive, God-given blend of talents and gifts that need to be exploited individually.

2.- Freedom to pick your mentor and enjoy one-on-one attention from him or her. This is the way kings were educated! Throughout history the tutorial education method has forged great men and women.

3.- Freedom to design your own schedule. Imagine yourself getting up in the morning. No running, no stress. You can sit in front of your computer in your pyjamas, sipping a cup of coffee while you study out your favorite subject!

4.- Freedom to delve into the subject of your choice with passion and joy. There are no limits as to what you can learn once you are enraptured with your own learning process. Education will never be boring again.

5.- Freedom to gain a level of excellence. After a season of studying and developing your skills and talents, you will be an expert and people will come to you for help.

6.- Freedom to pursue God's plan for your life. Have you ever wondered if that dream that comes to your mind every now and then, is really from God? Maybe it is time to seriously pursue it!

7.- Eventually self-directed learning will lead you to financial freedom. Your passion can become your career!

Choosing Broadband Services - A Guide For Businesses

With so many telecom services out there choosing the right one for your business can be challenging. Here is a guide to help you understand some of the main telecom choices that you have and what they mean to you.

The main types of lines available are T-1, DSL and OC circuits.

Generally speaking, faster speeds indicate larger bandwidth. The larger bandwidth is useful for large applications such as large data file transfers and streaming video. The large bandwidth also sets up your business to allow for future applications that may require additional bandwidth.

T1 - A high-speed digital connection that transmits data at a speed of 1.544Mbps. A T1 consists of 24 channels, which can be used for voice, data or a configuration of both. Each T1 can provide service for up to 50 to 100 phone users.

DSL - Digital subscriber line. A high-speed/broadband connection whose speed varies depending on the distance to the central office. The popularity of the DSL has been taken over by the T1. Unlike the T1, there are distance limitations. Cheaper than the T1, a DSL line is usually not covered by increased customer service like the T1.

T3 - A T3 is a high speed digital connection that transmits data at a speed of 43.232 megabits per second. The T3 is equivalent to 28 T1s. The T3 can handle even the most bandwidth intensive applications easily.

OC3 - Optical Carrier line that transmits at speeds up to 51.84 Mbps. The OC line uses optical fiber or SONET fiber optic to carry signals. The number behind the OC stands for the level of data transmission speed. An OC3 is equal to 84 T1s.

OC12 - An optical carrier line that transmits data at speeds of 622 megabits per second. This large bandwidth product is equal to 4 OC3's.

OC48 - A very large optical carrier that can transmit at speeds up to 2.5 gigabits per second. The OC48 is used for very large campus environments or as network backbones. The OC48 is equal to 4 OC12's.
