I am a 2nd year IT and I want to switch to Maritime

Hello people I started as a 2nd year IT student at a local state university. To be honest, I don't know why the heck I wanted to be an IT in the first place, I think it's probably because I haven't thought of my career path very well. I'm not particularly good at programming and computer networks, but right now I'm still getting the hang of it. As I'm thinking what my future would be if i pursue IT, I feel like it would make my life worse. Confined to a desk all day looking through a computer doesn't sound healthy at least to me. I am posting this since I need opinions from Maritime graduates and also from people who can help me somehow make my decision to change or not. Right now I am weighing the pros and cons of each program and I'm leaning more to maritime even if it comprises 2 years of my life.

Hello all I have a question.

Id like to start off with exposition. I am an American who lives in America. I have a learning disability and I have severe anxiety. When I was growing up I was not able to focus in school due to these factors. So I feel that my English education was not absorb properly. So my question is how can I re teach myself English like from 3rd grade level to high school level? Not just the words themselves but the anatomy of a sentence, technique of writing and all that jazz. Could you help me? I also was think about using the website IXL what do you think.

I have some questions before going back to school for education.

I have some questions before going back to school for education.

1. How do you create lesson plans?

2. Do lesson plans lead to creating assignments?

3. How do you create assignments for the year? Do you get a template from the district, online, etc?

4. What would you want to know as a first year teacher?

5. Any tips for teaching or working in a classroom in general? I'm currently looking for an online social studies education degree so thats what stage I am in, I also work fulltime as a middle school paraprofessional.

Texas rejected an AI-driven school’s bid to open a charter. Then the state approved it for the voucher program.

Alpha School quadrupled its Texas private school campuses. Most are eligible for state dollars through the new voucher program.

Reduced-credit bachelor's. Thoughts?

Three-year bachelor's degrees are growing in popularity. In a way, it makes sense that we help students save time and money by earning their degrees earlier and entering the workforce sooner. In addition, many undergraduate seekers are older and have experience in the field they are entering. At the same time, we need to ensure graduates are fully prepared. Thus, it is a delicate balance. What are your thoughts on the 3-year bachelor's?

Need help with my education options.

Hey everyone I hope your all have a great day. Also it might help if your from the UK for this one. I'm looking for some advice on what to do about my college course and other options as I'm really not enjoying it.

So I'm on a travel and tourism level 2 and I just don't feel like it suits me 1 bit. So I then contacted some people at the college if I could change courses but all the other courses were either full or I didn't get the GCSEs so I decided to start looking elsewhere as I don't think I'll continue my travel and tourism.

But I am still finding that my lack of GCSE English is my limiting factor in finding a course or apprenticeship or even a job.

So my question is should I look at doing a course on the Open Study College online ? I was looking at accounting which I think I'd be pretty good at. If any of you lot have experience with online courses please let me know how you found it !!

Or should I go and see if other colleges have something I might do ? (It would most likely be travel and tourism or a trade at the other colleges that are still available)

Question about online education

To cut to the chase, I’m a father of two adorable boys, aged five and six. To support my family, I work two jobs while my wife stays home. Despite having only a high school diploma and 24 college credits, I dropped out to have my children. The best decision I made was to work and provide for my family. To this day, I’m still employed at the same job. Three years ago, I took on a second job and have been working diligently ever since. However, I’m exhausted from working two jobs and not spending enough time with my kids. I’m determined to pursue an education. A friend suggested that he completed a 12-week online bachelor’s degree program. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to go back to school. I’m unsure about the legitimacy of this program, but if it’s genuine, it could transform my life, and potentially even my kids’ and wife’s lives. I’m looking for a fast-paced program that I can complete within the next month or two. Fortunately, I have vacation time and plan to use it for this purpose. I want to spend Christmas with my family and be home with them. Unfortunately, I can’t do that right now. Do you have any suggestions or could you guide me in this matter? I would greatly appreciate your help.
