How to Prosper Online in Tough Economic Times!
There have been three times in my life when I’ve been faced with rapidly changing economic situations. Once was in 1986, when the stock market crashed. I remember that only too well. I was sick at home with the flu, so I watched CNN all day as the stock market lost hundreds of points. The next time was around 1990. I wouldn’t call that a rapid change. That was more like having a debilitating disease for a while. And, of course, now!
I’m a professional writer and an internet marketer. I freelance copywriting. I sell affiliate products. And, I also create information products for aspiring internet marketers who want to learn the business. So, obviously, I have a great deal at stake in the current economy.

Understanding Learning: How Recent Research Supports Natural Affinities
Fielding questions from parents about the best way to “teach” young children, I often revert to research that supports integrated and emergent education models. However, parents influenced by marketing trends and imprudent education mandates are often skeptical by what they view as hackneyed analysis. How thrilling to come across leading edge research, such as David A. Sousa’s, “How the Brain Learns”, which presents evidence of brain development in the first five years of life and the potential this has in the area of early childhood education and beyond.
An exciting revelation of brain research is that educators get to rethink the long-standing “tabula rasa” theory. This refers to the thesis that individuals are born with no innate or built-in mental content, and that their entire resource of knowledge is built up gradually. Researchers now know that children are ready and motivated to learn, not by being fed knowledge, but by discovering the world around them. It’s up to the teachers, parents and caregivers in their lives to provide the inspiration and facilitation. And instead of a mandated curriculum, it’s creativity and individuation that will best ensure a student’s lifelong success.
