How Can Operations Management Tutoring Help Your Business?

How Can Operations Management Tutoring Help Your Business?There are several ways that a business can be improved with the help of operations management tutoring. Some might think that tutoring has been rendered useless because it is now being applied in areas outside of the business world. In fact, tutoring can still serve the same purpose even when the business in question is a health care company, a law firm, or even a retail chain store.All those who have started their businesses need to realize that there are programs available for all sorts of businesses. These programs are available through colleges, on-line courses, and even traditional classes that are taught by professional business people. What's most important is that one takes advantage of these programs. Taught correctly, they will help create better management skills in anyone who uses them.Many businesses today have an actual need for tutoring. How so you ask? Well, in many areas of business, the employees have to take certain courses. The problem is that those courses aren't set up to give you the full picture.For example, a business may be considering hiring a student instructor to teach their operations management tutoring class. The business doesn't want to hire a student who is too hard on them as their teacher. The business wants someone who is fair and will guide them in a way that they will enjoy.With operations management tutoring, this can be easily achieved. The business will simply hire a good operator, one who is fair to their students, and also gives them the necessary techniques.Tutoring should also be used in the corporate world. Why? Because if you don't learn from a skilled operator, then you won't know how to run your business properly. Without proper, high quality operations management tutoring, a business will not be able to make decisions that it needs to make.Businesses will also benefit if they take advantage of these programs. These programs give you a chance to improve t he way you operate your business. You will get to apply things that you learned in class in order to maximize your profits, and thus improve your business.

Zines as Study Tools

Zines as Study Tools I tend to fidget. I fiddle with my pens, bounce my knees, and doodle while listening. When I was in school, I resisted my fidgets as much as I could. In fact, the only times my fidgeting really got me into trouble was when I would get caught playing with beeswax under my desk or drawing in the margins of my notebooks.  Still, these instances were enough to give me the strong impression that my habits were bad, and I suppressed them as much as I could. Now that Im older, however, I’ve found that its better to embrace the fidget. If I  do something with my hands during studying or listening activities, I am actually a more focused and effective learner. As as an educator, Ive noticed the same tendency to fidget in many of my students,  regardless of their age.  I recently realized that finding a way to incorporate hands-on activities into our tutoring sessions and learning processes could be useful to my students even if a topic doesnt necessarily have a hands-on component already bu ilt in.That’s where mini zines come in. Zines in ContextZines have a revolutionary, anti-authoritarian origin story, but they can be about anything, for anyone. They historically have tended toward an inexpensive, DIY aesthetic to make it easy to distribute them. However, zines dont have to be simply made. Artists have used high-quality materials to create particularly elegant zines. For students, zines can be efficient tools for disseminating information in an artistic and highly portable package. They can be stress-relieving tools for learning, practicing, or testing oneself on new information.The zines I make with my students are composed of a (usually colorful) sheet of paper and allow for six pages plus a front and back cover. The design is simple, requiring only seven folds and one scissor snip (staples optional!*). Altogether, zine-making is a quick, fun way to produce a useful study tool that fits into most pockets.*If you forgo the staples, you can turn your zine inside o ut and reuse it for another topic or unit!Zines as a Study ToolSo what does this actually look like in terms of studying? The short answer is: it depends! I’ve used zines for myself and with my students in a variety of ways. You can use one as a cheat sheet or study guide that will stand out among the constant shuffle of papers. Or, design it as a workbook of practice problems (or alternating examples and practice problems). You could even use it as a homework checklist, study plan, or a notebook for brainstorming on specific topics. The possibilities are endless. My students have used zines for topics ranging from vocabulary to US currency, from SAT math to literature, from brain teasers to creative writing, and so on.However, it’s not just the informational aspects that make zines effective. Physically writing down content is a form of application, which helps to enhance students’ memories of the material and supports stronger recall. Physically making something also helps c alm anxious students by serving as an outlet for dispelling nervous energy while learning new or difficult topics. Bringing color into the learning environment also stimulates mental activity and interest. Plus, students simply find zine-making fun!In short, incorporating zines into my tutoring sessions has enriched and deepened the learning process in ways I wouldn’t have anticipated beyond satisfying my need to fidget. These days, Im always looking for ways to incorporate mini-zine creation into my sessions. Whether or not your student is fidgety like me, Id encourage anyone looking for a fun way to enrich a students experience to do the same.Creating a ZineIf you’re ready to try your hand at zine-making at home, follow these simple steps (or print out this free guide):

Google Secrets How to Learn a Language Using Google

Google Secrets How to Learn a Language Using Google Google Secrets: How to Learn a Language Using Google On the journey to fluency, you might think of Google as a road.You use it to get to important placesâ€"like language courses or study materials.You might not realize that Google is a language learning destination itself.But think about it.Google can pull from all the information in hundreds of languages found online.Its built on some of the most sophisticated technology out there, all with the purpose of connecting people and ideas from all over the world.You just need to know the right features and search tricks to put it all to use for your language studies.Here’s how to unlock Googles potential for foreign language fluency. Google Secrets: How to Learn a Language Using GoogleUse Image Search for Visual LearningWhat, to you, is the difference between an easy chair, a couch, a sofa and a recliner?How about a garbage pail, garbage bin or trash can?Words for physical objects can sometimes be perfectly clear to native speakers, but maddeningly tricky to pin down. As a language lear ner, this can make it difficult to build a vocabulary base that youre confident in.So instead of memorizing dictionary definitions, try adding Google Images to your vocabulary building regimen. Just look up a foreign word that youre learning, and youll quickly see how the image results can give you a much more precise, nuanced understanding.Here’s a perfect example. The standard English translation for the Chinese word ?? (wàitào) is raincoat or coat. But when I searched for images, I realized the word refers to all kinds of things that I might call a sweater or windbreaker in English. It’s clearly a broader definition than I realized!Take a few flashcards or a vocabulary lesson that youre working on, and see what discoveries Google Images brings to you.Plus, if you enjoy this type of real-world, visual learning, FluentU is a great supplement to your Google explorations. FluentU provides authentic foreign language videos thatve been transformed into language learning experienc es.Each video comes with interactive captionsâ€"click on any word for an instant definition and native pronunciation, as well as a picture to help you understand and remember the word. There are also flashcards with visual learning aids, quizzes, full transcripts and vocabulary lists to help you remember new words from each video once youre done watching.The videos are organized by genre and learning level, so you can easily find ones that work for you. FluentU also personalizes your learning by suggesting new videos based on what youve already learned.FluentU currently has programs for Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Italian, Japanese, Korean and English. Click any language youre interested in to explore the program for free with a FluentU trial.Use Site Search to See Vocab in Different ContextsWhen we take writing classes in school or study literature, we eventually learn that some words belong in some contexts and others don’t.You wouldn’t use Dr. Seuss wo rds in an academic paper, and if you’re writing a diary you probably won’t use the same language as Shakespeare.When you learn a foreign language or teach one to yourself, you run the risk of being unsure about this sort of thing. Without someone to guide your writing, you really don’t have much of a way to tell if you’re using the right words in the right situations.How can Google solve this problem?With a simple trick called site search. It’s very easy to use.You just type “site:” plus the name of a website, plus whatever you’re looking for. Then the results that come up will be restricted to that one website. This is a great way to look for posts by one author on a blog, for instance, or find all the times that a country is mentioned in a news publication.And as for language learning, you can definitely try non-English search queries too. Let’s say you’ve just learned the word mochila  (backpack) in Spanish. If we search different websites that run the gamut o f nonfiction, news and entertainment, we’ll find a few different examples.If I search a photography website, I’ll find articles about adventure or hiking backpacks made for photographers. A fashion website gives me advice about different styles of everyday backpacks.Each of these has their own related vocabulary and writing style to describe the same vocabulary word you just learnedâ€"making for perfect reading practice  and well-rounded communication skills.Get the Gist with Machine TranslationLots of language learners decry Google Translate, and not without reason. Everybody’s heard of the inaccurate or flat-out hilarious results it can come up with, and nobody should use it as their only learning resource.But if you’re careful with it, Google Translate can fill an important gap in language learning.How many times have you struggled to understand a long article in your target language? Next time that happens to you, put it into Google Translate to get the gist in English. Since you can see the two texts side by side, you can connect them mentally and start learning the patterns.You can even hover over the sentences with your mouse and see the relevant translation light up on the other side!Don’t worry, it’s not cheating to use a machine translator. When used correctly, its a step towards comfort with the structures, rhythms and common words in your target language.Check Your Language with Pattern-friendly SearchesThis is probably the biggest secret for language learning with Google, and here I am, giving it away.How is it that search engines give you the result you’re looking for in the top two or three results, almost every time?Its because search engines like Google are massively powerful pattern-recognition and pattern-analysis machines.If enough people click on a link, that means it’s valuable and it goes up in the search results. And if enough people type “faceboko” and then click on “Facebook,” Google knows to suggest an alterna te spelling for you.What else is based on patterns? Language.From sound systems to verb conjugations to adjective declensions, every language in the world follows (mostly) predictable rules and patterns. You can take advantage of this through strategic foreign language Google searches.Lets say youre unsure about a particular grammatical construction. Just type it into Google and see whether you get a suggested alternate phrasing or see different versions of it in the top results.To narrow it down, put the search inside quotation marks  and Google will look for that exact phrase all over the internet. This will also help filter for websites that are written entirely in your target language.If you get very few results (say, under 500,000) youll know your phrase is off. If its a short but incorrect phrase, you can often find the correct version within the search results or as suggestions at the bottom of the page.Get Free Literature for Your LanguageA lot of people never get beyond the images, maps and videos tabs on Google results. But did you know that there are also enormous indexes of published books and academic papers, absolutely free?Google Scholar and Google Books have tons of public domain material.Google Books lets you search the text of millions of published books, ranging from rare and out-of-print foreign books to the newest bestsellers. Got a book on your shelf you practically know by heart?
