			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We live in an information-hungry world that simply couldn&#8217;t function without computers. By the same token, the world can&#8217;t turn without the &#8216;techies&#8217; who troubleshoot, devise creative solutions to computing problems and save our bacon when things go wrong. Quite simply, computer expertise is in demand and, if you&#8217;re technically minded, there is an information technology job somewhere out there for you.</p>
<p>IT employment opportunities are varied and exciting. Some jobs offer you the opportunity to be your own boss, working as an independent consultant or from home. Others allow you to work in a variety of business and allied environments. For qualified people with the right skills, this is a sector where one can make a good living, with the possibility for top rank employees and consultants to earn top level salaries.<br />
<span id="more-251"></span><br />
Unless you have relevant work experience or can otherwise demonstrate your expertise, for most IT jobs today you will need to have formal qualifications of some kind. A bachelor&#8217;s degree in computer science or computer information systems is a basic requirement for most jobs in information technology. Postgraduate qualifications can be useful in some sectors of the industry. IT professionals at the top of their game can look forward to a bright future.</p>
<p>Within the information technology job market there are many niches, with job opportunities to suit most people&#8217;s preferences. If you&#8217;re happy to spend much of your time on your own with your computer, there are jobs in software development that should suit your temperament and test your ability to create innovate solutions.</p>
<p>Not all information technology jobs are solo enterprises. Many positions are people-oriented and will suit computer professionals who like their job to include interaction with others. Jobs on help desks are a good example. They will require you to have patience and people skills as well as the technical knowledge to solve the problems that crop up in the average computer user&#8217;s working day.</p>
<p>Many of the job descriptions in the information technology sector feature teamwork and liaison with like-minded professionals, and offer people careers with a strong management component. Lead applications developers work with teams of experts, while network managers also have a managerial role.</p>
<p>If you also have a particular interest in business and economics, business intelligence analysts are always in demand. The world of commerce offers a variety of niche jobs for IT professionals, ranging from the role of IT auditor, in charge of reviewing systems performance, to positions specific to particular industries.</p>
<p>Many IT fans are attracted to jobs related to the internet, as its role in all our lives becomes ever more important. Web developers will find many openings if they have the appropriate experience. Alternatively, for someone with computer skills and artistic flair wanting to do creative work from home, website design is the ideal job. Technical computer skills will serve you well in any job you choose, and with the right career choices and good insight into where the future lies, an information technology job can be lucrative, challenging and personally rewarding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">For students working toward technology degrees, the future employment outlook seems bright. The Bureau of Labor Statistics anticipates fast employment growth within the industry. Some technology jobs might offer more opportunities than others.</p>
<p>The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) includes 12 wide-ranging categories for technology occupations, the Association for Computing Machinery notes. Within these categories can be several different careers for which students working toward technology degrees might train. Some of the greatest employment growth might be enjoyed by computer software engineers, network systems and data communications analysts, computer systems administrators and those involved with computer systems software and applications, information from the Bureau shows.<br />
<span id="more-249"></span><br />
A student&#8217;s choice of technology degrees at the bachelor&#8217;s level might include anything from computer science to game art and design. Mt. Sierra College in Monrovia, Calif., alone offers bachelor degree programs in media arts &amp; design with a choice of concentrations in graphic design, game art and design, visual effects and digital video, or multimedia arts and design. Mt. Sierra also offers information technology degrees with concentrations in telecommunications technology, information security, and computer information technology.</p>
<p>Westwood College, which has locations in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Texas and Virginia, offers bachelor&#8217;s degrees in game software development, major network management and more. Because the institution is considered a Cisco Networking Academy, students might gain skills that can ready them for becoming certified Cisco professionals.</p>
<p>An article in the March 2009 edition of Network World reported on the debate as to whether business or computer science skills were more important as far as the country&#8217;s competitiveness. Students at some institutions might get the best of both worlds. At the Newport Business Institute in Lower Burrell, Pa., for example, students can work toward a bachelor&#8217;s degree in business administration that emphasizes microcomputer applications or accounting and computer application. The Newport Business Institute also offers a degree in business information and technology software application and programming. Where the microcomputer applications program is designed to prepare students for careers as information and software specialists, systems operators, software consultants, data entry, computer sales and more, the accounting and computer application offering can prepare students for careers that include account managers, internal auditors, accounting payroll specialists, public, cost and tax accountants, according to the Newport Business Institute website.</p>
<p>Students at other institutions might instead opt for technology minors rather than technology degrees. Institutions such as West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, W. Va., offer opportunities to major in computer science or computer information science, as well as to choose a computer science minor. Northwestern College in St. Paul, Minn., offers computer information systems and management information systems minors.</p>
<p>Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., also offers technology minors. Nova Southeastern&#8217;s information technology minor according to the institution, can be combined with almost any major except for those such as computer information systems, computer science. With majors in these areas, students might find work in in-demand fields such as network and system administrators, computer engineers and more, information from the Nova Southeastern University web site shows.</p>
<p>Technology is considered one of the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) areas of study, which educators and government officials have been encouraging. Students working toward technology degrees are likely to find an array of scholarships and grants that can help offset the cost of their college and university studies and reduce the amount of debt that they take on.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">In its short lucrative history, the Information Technology industry has produced millions of jobs in a multi-billion dollar market. Most people acknowledge that jobs in the Information Technology industry are careers for the future. But the diversity and complexity of fields within the industry make entry level jobs difficult to attain.</p>
<p>This article explores the preparation and career management that is essential in order to present yourself as a top information technology job candidate. Regardless of how fancy you make the language in your resume and cover letter you need to produce meaningful and relevant content throughout your entire job application process in order to stand out an exceptional candidate and secure the job offer.<br />
<span id="more-248"></span><br />
My top five tips in order to supercharge the content of your job application and position you as a genuine contender are as such:</p>
<p>1. Knowledge of the IT Industry</p>
<p>A universal understanding of the entire industry is crucial in order to fully appreciate the duties of the offered role. Let me explain, Candidate #1 understands the basics of a help desk role. He focuses his job application on his Windows desktop and outlook skills. Candidate #2 understands the help desk role from the perspective of the entire organization. She also lists her desktop and outlook skills in her job application documentation, however, she also explains her understanding of the role by identifying that a quality help desk solution reduces the pressure on escalation staff such as systems administrators as well as helping the organization to meet service delivery targets.</p>
<p>2. A job seekers identity</p>
<p>Many job seekers try to list their every conceivable skill in the hope that one of them may trigger the interest of a potential employer. By focusing your application on a single field you can filter out unnecessary skills and accentuate core competences. Unless otherwise specified, there is no need to mention C# skills when applying for a Windows desktop support role. It would be most beneficial, however, to highlight PC hardware experience or Windows operating system experience.</p>
<p>3. A consistent career path</p>
<p>A history of relevant studies, work experience, interests, achievements or club memberships demonstrates developing expertise in the field. This type of prolonged and diverse experience suggests that, besides being capable of doing the job, you may well be able to value add to existing processes.</p>
<p>4. Relevant and focused resume.</p>
<p>As well as highlighting only relevant skills, it&#8217;s important that your resume show the history of the development of your skills. This gives your resume a great deal more credibility than isolated sweeping statements such as &#8220;I have excellent SQL query skills&#8221;. The history of skills development may include studies, home projects, work experience and interests.</p>
<p>5. Talk the talk</p>
<p>Know common acronyms and concepts in the field. Also, make sure that you are aware of emerging trends and that you are able to converse about the potential or the impact of the technology. Cloud computing, for example, may be a topic of conversation. One may express an interest in this concept as it applies to risk management, business continuity and disaster recovery. This allows you to show progressive thinking and organizational awareness of Information Technology challenges.</p>
<p>As you may see, a fruitful way to distinguish yourself from hundreds of similar job applicants is to demonstrate some background knowledge relevant to the offered role. It&#8217;s not difficult to do but it does take some planning. If you seek professional assistance to help you find an entry level job, make sure that they are Information Technology specialists. It&#8217;s all too easy to get caught up with extravagant language and commanding phrases, but at the end of the day it&#8217;s the content of your application that will set you apart from the crowd.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Thinking of what education might look like in the next decade, one quickly realizes that the trends in technology are leaving a large number of our students behind. We no longer live in an age of visible movement when it comes to progress and innovation. Today is an age of exponential change. New and ever-improving technologies are popping up every day and in every corner of society.</p>
<p>Educating the best and the brightest in this brave new world will take a new and improved educational paradigm. Allowing our educational tools to age in the corner of the classroom will be the mistake that may cost us our future. Throwing away masses of children to inequitable access will ensure that we languish at the bottom of the global pool of employable workers for decades to come.<br />
<span id="more-246"></span><br />
The New Toolbox</p>
<p>I was at an auction a few years ago and noticed a few old woodworking tools that I thought I could use. For a few bucks, I was able to snag an assortment of hand tools that may have been in someone&#8217;s toolbox for a generation or more. As the next decade passed, I used these tools in my shop for a wide variety of projects until my projects outgrew these old, dull tools. My woodworking creations continued to improve as did my skills and artistry. I quickly discovered that using improved tools would translate into improved craftsmanship. As any woodworker will tell you, new tools require new skills.</p>
<p>Woodworking is a great metaphor for shaping and molding students. There is simply no good substitute for a sharp tool. If you want to build the best projects possible, you need to use the best tools possible. Thinking in terms of the next decade for our country, we will be sorely disappointed in our projects if we fail to improve our tools.</p>
<p>Within this article, I will try to paint a picture of how technology will shape the way we educate students in the next decade. I will attempt to show the amazing possibilities that lay before us if we will simply walk through the doorway of opportunity that is open to us. My focus will be this idea: Transforming the student from being a passenger to becoming a &#8220;user.&#8221; You may be wondering what I mean by this. Let me explain.</p>
<p>Ask yourself what it means to be a &#8220;user.&#8221; A user is not simply a person who uses. For the student, being a user should involve using the latest technology in a free and autonomous manner. This new-found freedom will allow the student to become an active participant in his/her education instead of a passive passenger. No other time in history have we been so able to make this a reality.</p>
<p>In our current technological society, being a user also means being tracked. Tracking has become a major part of our daily lives and is precisely the engine that should drive our educational process for the foreseeable future. Tracking a student means having the ability to target education toward weaknesses and strengths. The ability to accurately customize curriculum to the individual has been the holy grail of educational philosophy for many years. This golden age of technological development may soon enable this dream to become a reality.</p>
<p>Current educational curriculum and individual assessment is arbitrary at best. Being able to accurately asses a student can only be achieved by using modern tracking and database technologies. The means by which we can make this a reality is readily available and only needs to be taken off the shelf to be used. If Congress is looking for a shovel-ready project, this may be the one.</p>
<p>Imagine a world where every child has a tablet computer with ready access to the App of virtual photographic memory (internet). Further, imagine that every student can access all the knowledge of humankind freely at any moment in time. Continue to imagine a world where a misspelled word brings up a spelling challenge application instead of an auto correction. Try to contemplate what it would mean for a teacher to have a database of every misspelled word, every misunderstood concept or every missed equation for each of their students. Try to envision a teacher with the ability to customize the experience of the individual &#8220;user&#8221; with minimal effort. Imagine the curriculum being automatically targeted to the user through an intuitive educational platform that knows every strength and each unique weakness. I could go on, but I think you get the point.</p>
<p>The company that makes this standard available to the educational community will be the company that shapes the future of humankind. Will it be Google, Apple, Microsoft, or some other yet unknown pioneer?</p>
<p>Continuing from the thoughts in my last post, I would like to elaborate on the idea of the student as a user of a new standardized educational platform. It is obvious to me that the future of education will always mirror our everyday lives in one way or another. If you examine how technology has influenced your daily life already, you begin to put together a snapshot of what it will mean to be educated in the next decade.</p>
<p>In the last few hundred years, most individuals would consider an education as something you receive. You often hear the question asked, &#8220;Where did you receive your education?&#8221; As we proceed through the next decade, education will slowly move away from reception and toward being custom designed for the individual user. New technology will not only allow us to receive an education, but also develop an education. The question we might ask in 10 years is, &#8220;How did you develop your education?&#8221; The question of where will still be important, but the how of the matter will be the focus that defines the individual.</p>
<p>To make this a reality we will need a standardized platform from which to develop a student&#8217;s unique education. This standardized platform will allow us to tailor a custom curriculum that will be matched to talents, interests and life goals. For the educator, a standardized platform will create a way to assist the student in discovering a true purpose in life through a unique educational experience. The basics of reading, writing and arithmetic will not be taught as much as they will be discovered and used. Learning will become a reciprocal experience between the teacher, the student and the machine.</p>
<p>Under a standardized platform, each of these three participants will have a role to play. The teacher will be the facilitator, assisting the development of the curriculum and inspiring the direction the student takes. The student will be the user, gathering resources, skills and knowledge in an efficient and measured sequence. The machine will do the work of data gathering and analysis, which will assist the teacher and student in refining the curriculum. This data gathering work of the machine will also free the teacher from the burden of record-keeping and tedious tasks that currently distract from the real job of teaching and learning.</p>
<p>Under a standardized system, grade level will be far less important. Achievement and progression will be measured by accomplishment and intelligence as a benchmark for success. The question of failure or success will be irrelevant and replaced with a standard and consistent measurement of potential and overall intelligence. Information will no longer be missed but continually rehearsed and monitored for retention by the machine.</p>
<p>In our current educational paradigm, the teacher is in charge of arbitrarily constructing curriculum. This approach to curriculum development is based on inexperience in some cases, outdated materials, inadequate funding and a shortage of time. Measuring the success of a specific curriculum is currently impossible. With a standardized system, comparisons of curricular success can be made across the entire spectrum of education and then continually reformulated and enhanced by the machine.</p>
<p>Sadly, teachers today are bogged down with an assortment of mind-numbing tasks that would be better suited to an off-the-shelf automated system. Tasks such as data tracking, reporting and record keeping are currently accomplished manually. These tasks could easily be delegated to an intuitive database. Developing a standard to follow would eliminate these tasks and free the teacher to do their main job of teaching students.</p>
<p>Education 3.0</p>
<p>Throughout history, man has sought to pass on knowledge to the next generation. This process started with oral tradition, storytelling and writing. With the advent of the printing press, knowledge and information slowly became available to the masses. The amount of information that could be gained by one human in a lifetime was severely limited by his access to printed materials and wealth. The majority of learning was gained through observation and imitation. We can call this Education 1.0.</p>
<p>Education 2.0 starts around the late eighteen hundreds with universal literacy movements throughout newly industrialized regions of the world. Improvements in education slowly transitioned from apprenticeship to formal education and training. Despite our movements toward universal education, access to knowledge and opportunity continues to be inequitable throughout the world. Even with the arrival of the computer revolution, access to the tools of learning continues to define the learner.</p>
<p>The next decade may mark the moment in history when all men are granted equal access to the greatest treasure a soul can possess. I use the word may in the last sentence because there is the chance that we will miss this golden opportunity. Access to Education 3.0 will only be gained through investment and universal standardization. If we continue to divert wealth toward fruitless goals and corporate greed, this opportunity will be lost or hopelessly delayed.</p>
<p>Education 3.0, when it arrives, will be the age of universal enlightenment. Platforms for education and learning will slowly standardize and become globally accessible and affordable. The poorest to the wealthiest will have access to the machine that runs the platform.</p>
<p>The thought on your mind at this point is most likely wondering what machine I keep referring to. The machine in question is the one we have been so busy teaching and training since roughly 1969. You&#8217;ve probably guessed it by now that I am referring to the internet. The great cloud of knowledge that we call the internet is precisely the mechanism that we will use to build the platform of Education 3.0. When the platform is finally in place, the decade to follow will see the greatest amount of wealth, discoveries and use of human potential that we have witnessed during our time on this earth. The only question that remains to be answered is the point at which I will leave this article.</p>
