My role as their instructor is that of a facilitator. I guide my students through the process of discovering how the general concepts in each course actually apply to their lives. I don’t merely want them to be able to come up with the right answers in class and on the test. I want them to understand why the answer is correct and how to consistently find correct answers to problems that differ from the examples presented in the curriculum. I believe that understanding is what gives their educational experience real value. […]
Coleman University has announced the launch of their Web Media Design and Video Game Development programs for the August 2010 start.
These two exciting new programs represent the latest offerings in a continuing tradition of superior technology focused education from San Diego’s Coleman University.

Fortunately, modern course design seems to be about making the game enjoyable for varied skill sets. Take Trilogy Golf Club at Vistancia for example. Course designer Gary Panks included over 70 pronounced and transitional bunkers that feed the course’s fairways and native areas. […]
Face it; being green doesn’t have to mean living out in the sticks and off the grid. It is possible to enjoy high-end living and use less energy in the process. It’s just a matter of paying attention to what you buy and what you do. Boomers have it down to a science. […]
Now that the oldest Baby Boomers are old enough to be thinking about retirement, many of them have the notion that their retirement lifestyle should be green, or environmentally sustainable. This shouldn’t be terribly surprising since they practically invented the Green Movement – don’t email, we’re not ignoring Muir and the other notables of Environmental History, we’re just making the point that Boomers are green, have been since before the first Earth Day, and have the socio-political clout to make it a priority, okay?

And yes, that is California. But before you write it off as an option and look elsewhere, it does bear taking the time to understand the value of what you get for the money. It’s true that $450K will buy you a lot of house in most states, but are we really prepared to compare retirement lifestyles by square footage? […]
All we know is that the housing market as a whole dropped to levels not seen since 2000, an some people are seeing prices pick up again, just a little. Once you know what’s available and what it actually costs, then you’re in position to make an intelligent decision about buying in. Just asking the internet seems a little risky. […]
Buying a home is always a big deal. Buying a dream retirement home is a bigger deal. For most of us, this is the last home we’re going buy – so choosing wisely in terms of location and timing is “mission critical”. While nobody ever wants to buy a home that will lose value, it’s especially important to carefully consider your investment at this point in your life. […]
It’s easy to get so caught up in the retirement dream that the retirement reality kind of slides out of perspective. You might have vacationed in Las Vegas a few times, or every year for that matter, but does that mean you really understand the housing market enough to actually decide to live there? Are you really prepared enough to buy a whole house there? […]
