Tutoring Offered Online

My God, where was the Internet and all that it has to offer when I was in school? A co worker of mine was telling me that her son was receiving tutoring via the Internet and I thought that that was pretty cool. I could have used some Math homework help back in my schooling years, especially middle and high school. Numbers and I have never gotten along, lord knows what I would do with out my handy dandy calculator.

I spent a good amount of time with the little old lady down the street that tutored the neighborhood kids for a small fee. It helped and I got through the school, but it was a real drag, I can tell you that. She smelled bad, like old moth balls and her teeth were always, well, just nasty. Just what a teen aged boy wants to spend time with after school.

From what I understand you can go to tutorvista.com  where they offer folks Free math help and Free homework help for a large variety of subjects, K -12 and even up into the college years. Pretty cool huh? Pass the word it’s all good!

Never Too Old To Learn

Last night I found myself doing some mindless surfing on the Internet. You know how you start clicking and clicking and the good lord only knows where you can end up in the end. I found myself at an interesting site, recruemedia.com, regarding retargeting, which is something that I knew absolutely nothing about. But I’m all about not be too old to learn anything, so I try and learn what I can, when I can.

I know that there is a lot involved with today’s computers and I have a lot to learn. But living the life that I do, on the farm and all, I don’t have all that much need to know so much of what is out there these days. My kid brother is the computer whiz of the family, he has taught me a good amount of things that I have found enlightening, just wish he could come around a bit more than he does at this point. I’m sure he would know all about retargeting companies and remarketing and all that goes along with that issue.

Out With The Old, In With The New

I’m finding that there are many things around this old place that are in need of repair or replacement, it seems to be a never ending battle. Last night I went to turn the Lamps on in the bedroom beside the bed and one of them wouldn’t turn on. The first thought was that it just needed a new bulb, so I tried that and that didn’t do the trick, sigh……

These old vintage Desk Lamps have been in the house since I can remember and I know that my mother really cherished them, but I’m afraid that they are in need of being replaced at this time. I really don’t want to go out and run from store to store in order to find a new set of lamps, so this weekend I’ll be searching online to find some to purchase. A much easier task that having to run into town.

Since it would make sense to buy one of the new Low Voltage Halogen Lamps, in an effort to reduce the energy being used thus reducing my electric bill each month, I’ll be looking for a pair of these to use. This isn’t something that I planned on doing over the weekend but I do need light in the bedroom and there isn’t an over head light in there to use.

Class Rooms

I have to say that I think that it is pretty cool that these days you can find Math answers on the Internet. Today’s students can now get high quality Online tutoring for just about any subject out there from K-12 and all the way up through college. There is a great site at tutornext.com that you can find all kinds of school help. Wish we had something like that when I was attending school and struggling with Algebra 1 and Algebra 2.

I used to be able to help my nieces and nephews with their homework when they were in elementary school. But as soon as the started middle and high school I have to tell you that became pretty useless, especially in the math area. If I don’t have a calculator in hand I’m pretty much in hot water these days.

On day I’d like to be able to take some college classes, but they will be on subjects that I have an interest in, like history. Too bad I wasn’t interested in history back in my school days because history is fascinating to me and I’d like to learn more in a formal class room setting one day.

Trying To Catch Up With The Rest

I’m glad to hear that there is a major push for all kinds of ways to become “green” I understand that even some of the web hosting companies are doing their part in going green. That is a good thing since we all need to do what we can to help the situation that our mother earth is now in.

I’m still learning so much about computers and am grateful that my kid brother knows so much about today’s computers and the World Wide Web, I’d be in deep trouble if not for him. He knows all about colocation, dedicated servers and managed hosting issues that I know absolutely nothing about. I just wish he had more time to spend with me, but he is married with children and his time is precious as most people’s are these days.

So I’ll keep trudging along the best way that I can. With the holidays coming up we are all going to be busier and busier each day. Not something that I’m looking forward to and I don’t think that I’m alone with that mind sent!
