How does 24/7 online study work?
Dr Mary Anne Hall • Aug 05, 2019
The greatest thing about online study is you can study anywhere, anytime around your work and lifestyle commitments. You are in complete control and don’t have to worry about working to a restrictive time table or dreaded deadlines for assignments. Maybe you've just finished a nightshift and have a one hour train commute. Jump on your laptop or Ipad and get some study done. You've taken your kids to a play centre and it's noisy and you're bored. Pop in some headphones, grab out your phone and you're good to go. You take charge of your own study!
Being in control of your own study does require motivation and loads of self-discipline. We know that can often be a struggle particularly if you are studying alone. With EPEC you will be part of a community of learners who are studying the same course as you. We strongly encourage you to access our study groups on Facebook and interact with other students. Remember no question is a silly question!
Everyone has a different approach to study and here at EPEC Education we encourage our students to find the system that works best for them.
There are now over one million children in Australia going through a family breakdown. This almost always causes stress for children, with over 25% of children experiencing long term trauma as a result. Reduced access to once familiar extended family, the introduction of stepparents and step siblings, and the reduced presence of once consistent parents, can all contribute to children feeling fearful and uncertain. This week, Dr Mary Anne Hall from EPEC Education, provides five ways teachers and carers can assist children in transition while they are at school and at day care.
Supervising children adequately is the most important skill an early childhood educator can have. While having the ability to provide children with a safe and secure environment may seem like an easy task, there are over 1000 cases annually, whereby Australian children are seriously hurt in the early childhood setting. These accidents range from fingers being jammed in doors; dislocation and broken bones; choking; scalds and burns; to children having adverse allergic reactions. These accidents can and do, have dire consequences. This week, Dr Mary Anne Hall from EPEC Education, highlights five factors that should be considered when supervising children.
