It is not an understatement to stay that we live in strange and exciting times. We live in a time when more change has occurred in the past two decades than had occurred in centuries. Not only have the past two decades seen the collapse of tyrannical regimes, and the spread of freedom (however tense) globally, but these decades have also seen a ballooning of technology, both in the influence that technology has over our day to day lives (take the cell phone, the internet, the IPod and the emergence of cloud computing) as well as the ways that we communicate. With the emergence of social media and interactive web 2.0 sites, the old ways of communication are quickly becoming antiquated. Today we expect, nay we demand instant communication with everyone around us, and as this technology develops we are likely to see huge changes in the way we interact with our friends; family; businesses; and even our doctors.
One of the leading companies in this new communication revolution is Twitter. Twitter has seemingly taken us to the next plateau in communication and in our ability to network with one another. Not only does Twitter take mundane day to day conversation and make it grander, but it also gives us an unprecedented ability to network with like minded individuals and also to communicate directly with companies and business with whom we interact, or with whom we wish to interact.
Given such a vast mandate it is understandable how Twitter might be misused by many. As someone who has been using Twitter for almost a year to communicate with friends and customers (you can tweet me at @wecomparebooks
) I must say that, it is a learning curve and I have made many mistakes along the way, and I am still learning. Here are a few recently published books that have helped me navigate Twitter better: Twitter for Business: Twitter for Friends: The Little Twitter Book You Should Not Tweet Without, Twitter Revolution: How Social Media and Mobile Marketing is Changing the Way We Do Business & Market Online and Twitter Tips, Tricks, and Tweets

In the constant effor to make our site more accessable to and more user friendly, we recently launched a widget that enables other websites to place a “We Compare Books search bar” on their site so as to allow the users of their site to search for the cheapest books directly from any website.

Here are our latest widget partners.  I think that these sites are great and I highly recommend them.

MyCollegeSTAT, is a site that helps students get into the college of their dreams. This site offers things such as help with the SAT’s, and the college choice process.  This site really helps to simplify finding the best college and getting accepted into it.

As a student I always struggled with math, this was a subject that constantly lowered my grade point average. I believe that had I had access to our latest Widget partner, Instant Math Tutor, I would not have had so many problems with math.

Integration and innovation with the help of the internet and new communications technology is changing the way we do everything nowadays. The realm of education is no exception. From online training courses to e-conferencing to complete degrees done online, education and career training are becoming more convenient and crafted to fit the individual.

WeCompareBooks.com recently came into contact with Knowledge Delivery Systems, a site which offers online development training courses for teachers and educators. In their own words:

“Knowledge Delivery Systems provides K-12 educators with award-winning, convenient online professional development. Educators can take KDS courses to earn the credits they need to meet state Department of Education licensing requirements, to increase their salary through district-approved in-service, or to earn the graduate credits they need to advance their careers.”

The cool thing about KDS is that many of the courses offered are interactive, with ideos and are taught by very interesting professors.

The courses available are broken up depending on which state you live and work in, as each state has different requirements and acceptance of KDS courses. Certain courses are available through partnerships with colleges, universities and school districts to help education students and teachers develop the skills necessary to become the quality educators we need and to help them realize their own professional goals.

KDS’s newest course delves into teaching English language learners and the principles of language acquisition. The course goes into extreme detail, from basic communication skills to fundamentals that apply specifically to second language learners.

If you are an educator or an education student, you can request information on their website to find out if your district or school offers KDS courses.
