Apple University

Joel Podolny, current dean of the Yale School of Management, has announced he is leaving the education institute to go and work for Apple. The project he is going to work on is something new called Apple University, which he will be the vice president and dean of.

Little is known about what Apple University is, but speculation points towards an internal education system for Apple employees, an expansion of the existing iTunes U program, a brand new education initiative, or a combination of these.

Neither Apple nor Mr Podolny have commented further on what his new role will entail, but he will start his new job at Apple early next year.Read more at The Wall Street Journal

Matthew’s Opinion
Apple University looks most likely to be an internal education system for Apple employees, but it could be something a lot more encompassing. There has been a lot of interest and new resources offered up by education institutes lately, and Apple University could be some extension of that as well.Mr Podolny has been working in education for a long time and before Yale he was teaching at Harvard and Stanford. There’s sure to be a transition phase as he gets used to the business environment and makes his mark within Apple. He is sure to receive a lot of respect there, but who he deals with directly is all down to what exactly Apple University is.

I for one hope this is more than just internal education and that Apple are planning to get more involved in education through the use of its products.

education therapist

The job of an occupational therapist is to assist disabled people to improve their quality of life. There are disabled children and adult who are unable to do activities like buttoning a shirt, using a computer or driving a car. Therefore, the role of occupational therapist is to increase such people's productivity so that they become independent. The disability of patients in such cases can range from emotional and mental to physical. The occupational therapists' job is to work with all these patients and help them in improving their reasoning skills. The occupation of occupational therapists is extremely challenging. However, it is really satisfying to see ourselves helping to improve other people's lives. During their occupational therapy career, these professionals can come across a number of patients. Some of these patients would need assistance to be able to perform basic daily activities independently while some others would require occupational therapist to help them become successful at their workplace.

While performing their job, occupational therapists also make use of a variety of computer programs to help them with their tasks. These computer programs are used in occupational therapy with a view to assisting patients for developing decision making, reasoning, problem solving and coordination skills among others. During their career, these occupational therapy professionals also need to take care of patients who are ailing from permanent disabilities. Therefore, therapists can also help patients suffering from paralysis or cerebral palsy. Besides helping such patients operate the wheelchair independently, the job of an occupational therapist may also require them to devise new equipment to suit individual patient requirement.

The occupational therapists' career happens to really challenging. To perform the job quite well, professionals need to be creative and practical. Patients that need occupational therapy can belong to any age group. The occupational therapists may help may help a patient who got a spinal cord injury in an accident, or a woman who suffered from a stroke, or an elderly with poor vision etc. The role of an occupational therapist becomes very crucial when it comes to taking care of an Alzheimer's patient. Cases and extent of therapeutic treatment may vary from patient to patient. No matter how exhausted you may feel at the end of day, the job always brings you pure joy and satisfaction out of helping people improve their lives. During your career as an occupational therapist, you make a difference in other people's lives. There are not too many jobs that bring such joy and satisfaction.

With the advancement in their career and years of experience, occupational therapist may also choose to specialize in a specific area. For example, there are therapists who look after only school children whereas there are others that treat the elderly. Some other occupational therapists may make their career out of treating a specific injury case like spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy etc. The roles and responsibilities in each case, however, remain the same. Occupational therapy always deals with helping the patients increase their productivity, gain reasoning skills, be able to do daily activities on their own and finally become as much independent as possible.

Education Requirements

To kick start a career in occupational therapy, candidates need to obtain a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in the same field. Besides acquiring an accredited degree program in occupational therapy, candidates also need to obtain a license to practice occupational therapy and become a registered occupational therapist. The coursework for an occupational therapy degree program includes physical sciences, behavioral sciences and biological sciences. Those who aspire to become occupational therapist also need to be motivating and encouraging while they practice their profession. Trust, patience and imagination are the other skills that candidates need to make a career in occupational therapy.

Getting back to life

The school responded earlier this year on April 13 with the assistance of child Reach intention (CRI) and the Yangrama Ex student society (YESS). CRI is a UK-based charity which has been supporting Child Health program and school Health program at Dhuikikhel Hospital. previously, CRI also supported a school's Renovation in Minikharka and they have also been supporting Antardrish a counseling centre for axially abused children in Nepal.

CRI is funding yangarima school to renovate the infrastructures and sponsors, half of teacher's salary and educational materials required for the school. This renovation work carried out by CRI helped reopen the school, enabling over 70 children to enrol and restart their lessons. Today little sang ya Dolma along with 78 student aged from three to 14 attend the school from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm of these 75, 19% of the student were sent to yangrima school by there parents who are now settled in the capital.

student some all dressed up and others paying less attention to their appeals walk all the way to their school from as for as Salim village, which is two hours away from shermathange. The school's uniform however is yet to be decided. The school presently operates nursery to class four and follows the Currie clams set by the District Education Board. It even runs Tibtan script classes to grade eight in the poplin for the next year. "The main aim of the reopening of yangorima school it to provide" equality education" says. Tshering lama, the man behind the scene, who introduced CRI to Nepal .

Tshering is a regional winner and was a national Finalist in the British councils annual SHINE award for international students. In recognition of his outstanding academic and personal achievement, Northumbria university has dedicated a scholorship in Tshering's name.

many might be unaware that tshering also happens to be one of the first graduates of Yangrima school. Ask any of the present student in Yangrima "what do you want want to be in your life ?" the answer. " Be like Tshering dai."

But just rekindling the hope for quality education was not enough. getting good Tea-Cher's was also and of the main priorities for yanggrima. And realizing the importance of trained teachers the school put and extra effort to training the eight teachers the school has. And the result has been productive.

"I' have learnt about lesson plan night which I had no idea about prior to the training says kumari Hyloma, one school teacher. All of the eight teachers at Yangrima have their salaries at per with the government fixed rate of Rs. 5,000 per month With insure ance facilities too.

Dorje , who recall the Bomb incident vividly is pursuing his undergraduate studies now. At the same time he has also returned to his Alma mater as a teachers. "A year ago when i was here, the school area was covered with jungle." Tshering adds."It took the villages four days to clear the path up the school." "The school roofs striated disappearing after the news of it's reopening surfaced . With the help of the village, We tracked down the Chet made him carry all the roofs back to the school and fined him" added the director of the school Tashi lama.

Now the classroom in the five blocks are under construction. And Tashi recently came up with the sketches of the restrooms for girls and boys.

A small dark area in the between the two building on the half of the main school compound remains untouched. This is a area where the bimbo was planted, according to the villagers.

"This will be a gallery," Tshering says. "Eight years of darkness means so years of pushing back ward."

Rebuilding a school will require energy and part ice. A library with book and musical instruments is already set up.

" Right now. Because we don't have any music teachers. The guitar Just sits there," points out the principle of the school, Nima lama.

education articles

Alex Beam Forces H&E Hiatus

Well, not really. Alex Beam isn't forcing me, of course, to do anything. But his well-received new book, A Great Idea At The Time: The Rise, Fall, And Curious Afterlife of the Great Books, has lit a fire under me.

After many worthy post-dissertation/PhD "distractions"---including a new son, many conference presentations, several articles, hundreds of blog posts (over 630 not counting USIH pieces), and a new job (including one year-long academic job hunt)---it's time for me to get focused and tell my story about Mortimer Adler and the history of the great books idea.

Getting on task means giving up some things. What I've discovered over the past year is that, for me, this involves managing my energy as much as my time. I've probably actually had the time over the past two plus years since finishing my dissertation to turn it into an acceptable book manuscript. But I know for sure I haven't managed my energy well enough to complete the task.

Academic writing is not something that comes easy at this period in my life. I can't decide whether this is an internal or external issue. I can write blog posts with ease, and even some kinds of academic articles without a herculean effort. But getting this first book out is going to require my getting over a hump called "activation energy" by chemists. I can't see my personal kilojoules-per-mole/reaction path graph, but I suspect it contains a higher than average spike early on my "book creation path" axis.

Rebirth of Achool

Sungya dklmas classroom is not yet complete cracked muddy floor and a Carling cover with bambo sticks and the bench a little high for a 4 years- old. All this is witness to the hurdles that must be over room to insure primary education for children in Helambu one of the top trekking destinations some 72 kms northeast of Kathmandu Vally. sang ya sang ya takes her seat the new classroom and grand panorama of the vangtang. Li ruing Range smiles at her from the north. But perhaps she is not at the age of being entharalled withe her schools spectacular setting or to be saddened by the recent story her school.
But one day shell be told this horrible story the need to know. In 2001 the yangrima Boarding school of sermathang village in Helambu regim was forced to shut down after the locl Maoist bombed it. Under the management ot local community mumbers, Yangrima school was stablishedin 1985 as a primary school expending over the 1990s to everntally become a high school. unfortunately the civil was in 2001 forced the school to close and resulted in the gradual decay of the school building.
According to the Ministry of education 78 school were damaged and 31 district education officer destroyed during the decade long conflict. The very large number of school got close down, starting from those in Python.
It was a Sunday evening at around 430 I heard a loud noise. when i was returning home. from a festival, the sound came from the direction of my school I rushed towards the sight. The book from the library were put on fire. The window glasses were all shattered. one of our school building was bombed and hostel student were looked in the doing room," recalls dorje Wang
Dorje, now 22 was in grade seven when his school, which had been in operation for two decades was boomed. He then moved to Kathmandu for his father study.
This incident on of the money atrocities during conflict did not only put dorje and other student through an ordeal, it also made the villages of shermathang take refuge in the capital. some left for overseas or neighboring con tries in search of livelihood opportunities to support their families in the capital .
Sermathange village is made up of some 85 houses holds with almost every house equipped with solar panels. En route the helambu trek itinerary, by village even had seven lode's to keep with the number of tourists post the bomb incident only three are in operation now.
Helambu region is on of the top trekking destinations of the country, and it drives it's name from two regatta bales, "hey"- potatoes and "labu"- radish which are found aplenty in the region .
