Minneapolis Schools Team Up With Local Radio

March 17, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment
Stacy Andell asked:


Fun Partnerships with KBEM

Minneapolis Schools have a unique relationship with local radio. As radio is the voice of the people and the Minneapolis schools educate those same people, it seems a natural match. Local radio station KBEM has had a long relationship with Minneapolis schools and been an active partner in community events to help students, teachers, and parents stay in touch and stay active in the Minneapolis school system.

One of the most popular ways that this partnership is shown is in the National Night Out celebrations held this past summer. KBEM was instrumental in gathering the community together for a festival of music, freedom, and getting to know each other. The event has been a huge success in recent years and this year was no exception. Minneapolis school students, parents, and teachers, gathered at this interesting community event to be entertained as well as informed about how to stay active in the community.

The evening kicks off with a performance by the Bruce Henry Band followed by a block party on Plymouth Avenue between Russell and Sheridan. The band was won during a KBEM contest to design the most creative invitations to the National Night Out. The winning entry was submitted by a north Minneapolis coalition who created a handmade miniature “Peace Shrine Storybook” to express their neighborhood challenges and story. The storybook invitation was created through a collaboration of the Asian American Community Center, Plymouth Avenue Art Studio, and the AIM (All in the Mix) neighborhood group.

Connections Throughout the Year

In addition to the fun times like the National Night Out, Minneapolis schools partner with local radio stations throughout the year to bring school information to the community. Since 1970, KBEM and Jazz 88 have provided the driving directions to Minneapolis schools as well as broadcast important information about school closings and special events. These services have proved valuable to the community as well as the students and teachers of Minneapolis schools.

On a more creative side, KBEM and Jazz 88 have worked together to implement a jazz curriculum in Minneapolis schools to create an active interest in jazz music and radio broadcasting. KBEM is also the voice of Minneapolis Public Schools and is the only FM broadcast service in the United States that combines a high school broadcast communications program with a jazz history curriculum and a 24-hour mainstream jazz format. The KBEM program is headquartered at North High School and directly impacts approximately 150 students each year by involving them in classroom, mentorship and partnership programs.

This program is unique to nation and provides Minneapolis school students with a special place in the community as well as teaching the skills and training that these Minneapolis school students need to develop into strong professionals. Through the KBEM program, students connect to history, to their communities, and develop a sense of pride in what the Minneapolis school system has to offer. The partnership with KBEM has proven itself to be a worthwhile venture and creative opportunity to unite the Minneapolis schools with the community and beyond.

College education exposes students to new ideas, people, experiences and opportunities that will help find a place in society. By pursuing a diploma or a college degree you can understand the job market well.

Now, due to major economic shifts, especially in the manufacturing and retail sectors, the required entry-level job potential for people without college degree seems to dwindling. Students who are facing financial problems are not able to continue with their education and some think of various alternatives.

A GED diploma being equivalent to diploma gives you an opportunity to continue education and also opens doors for various employment opportunities. Having a diploma equivalent to high school diploma can open up a broad base and help you get admission to a technical school. These days, many employers are ready to recruit employees with a diploma or equivalent qualifications. Having an equivalent diploma qualification can also earn you a promotion or a raise in your current working position.

According to the Center for Adult Learning 96 percent of colleges provide admission to GED diploma holders for further education. GED diploma holders are also considered eligible for the student financial aid. GED diploma nowadays helps improve your employment prospects or even helps you switch careers for better paying jobs. The GED Test is broken up into five major parts like reading, writing, social studies, math, science and essay. These subjectwise exams take about seven to eight hours. Most adult schools offer GED tests twice a year. Average testing center charges are around $40 to $75 to take the entire test through some centers.

Preparation: Most people gain knowledge through life experience, but for a GED exam you need prepare well regardless of your ability. GED preparation material is available in all the bookstores, as well as public libraries and some publishers also offer variety of GED preparation material. Some public television stations offer GED home study programs, you can call up your nearest local television center and find out about the broadcast series.

Several GED web sites offer sample question papers to help students prepare for the tests and to decide on how much preparation time will be needed to finally attempt the GED tests. If you need assistance in your preparation then you can seek help from the adult schools, community colleges, or occupational centers at your local district level. Staff members of such organizations are ever ready to help you decide whether you need to study for all the tests or if you need to brush up on some topics in specific areas.

New Phase Of Learning: Online Degree Courses

March 14, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment
Stephen Campbell asked:


Technology has changed the face of distance learning. From the mailbox to the internet, distance learning has gone through transformations that have made it what it is today. The print aspect of distance learning is still ever present because of the need to ensure that the student can read and write.

If you are a poor reader, you probably won’t make a good distance learning student. Correspondence via the internet requires a good deal of reading and can pose a problem for the student who can’t read. You need to be able to write too in order to pass any distance learning course.

If you want to avoid fraud in your search for an online distance degree institution, it’s not enough if it has an email address. You should ensure that any online college that you have applied to has a physical address and a phone number that works. Bear in mind that a post office address is not an indication that an online college is genuine.

Distance education is also largely referred to as distance learning. It is a field of education focusing on teaching and leaning, using technology, and instructional systems. For the most part it focuses on adults, but more and more the younger generation is being involved in the design that aims to deliver education to students who are not physically “on site” at the college grounds.

All over the world, notwithstanding the fact that it is considered obsolete in some several circles, many institutions still use radio broadcasts in distance learning. In India for instance, the FM Channel is still very popular and used by universities to broadcast educational programs. One cannot argue against its effectiveness in this wise because India remains one of the world’s leaders in technology advancements.

A common practice is to have students meet at a variety of designated places for their tests and exams, as in school. The difference with distance learning is that the person who invigilates may not be a lecturer at, just a paid, trusted representative of the school or professor. This way at least, you can be sure that not everyone is cheating.

Distance learning is devoid of the classroom setting. You can partake of a distance learning program in your home or during your lunch break. Distance learning is not determined by your position on the global map.

Don’t be taken in by flashy online distance learning adverts that promise to give you the impossible. Distance learning online can be completed in a maximum of two years if you are serious. Any distance learning offer that promises a degree in less than a year should be ignored.

Voice Broadcasting a Marketing Message Too Explode Your Business

March 13, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment
Craig Bradburn asked:


Voice broadcasting sends your marketing message to thousands of phones automatically. It’s easy to imagine a voice broadcast message because they are used widely. Politicians use voice broadcast to get out the vote, schools use voice broadcast to get school closing information out and sales companies use voice broadcast sell products and services. Capitalizing on a voice broadcast is effective and easy.

Voice broadcasting is effective because it tailors messages for targeted audiences. Think of your best sales presentation and then imagine you can get that message to thousands with the push of a button. Even better, imagine that the thousands you are reaching have asked to hear about what you’ve got to say. Voice broadcasting gives you this targeting advantage because the dial lists used to place calls are opt in form generated.

Voice broadcasting’s return on investment is higher than other mass marketing techniques. Because it’s targeted, voice broadcasting gets your message in the hands, or ears, of interested prospects. That means that the money you spend yields a greater return. Some online companies have reported a one in thirty four response rate for their voice broadcast campaigns. That’s on par with direct mail response rates, but the cost per lead runs less.

Voice broadcasting’s simple and easy to use formats are effective tools to boost your sales and increase qualified business leads. Compared to a typical print campaign, voice broadcasting trims cost by eliminating postage, printing cost and some other expenses in development. But there is still production costs associated with voice broadcasting. The good news is that there are voice broadcasting companies online that provide turnkey packages.

Voice broadcasting gives you a high degree of control over your marketing message. You can scale your level of involvement to fit your needs. If you are a stellar copywriter, then you can work with the voice broadcasting provider to let you write the copy. If you have a good and practiced speaking voice then you can be your own voice talent. The level you are comfortable with in providing content is the level you should work at. If providing the content is an important thing to you then search for a provider who will work with you.

To find voice broadcasting providers simply enter the keywords “voice broadcasting” into your favorite search engine and take a look at the offerings. Most providers handle the entire package online, making it easy for you to work with them. Package prices cover most needs and prices range depending on how many calls you want to place. Shop around for providers and ask questions about how much you can be involved in the production and how they generate their calling list. These two areas of questioning should help you nail down a good provider for you to use.
