Daily Deals Site Offers Charitable Donations

YIPDeals is a national daily deals site and has brought its YipGives program to Colorado through independent local marketing consultants. Like many sites, it has great deals on items many of us use every day. The difference, however, is in the details.

YIPDeals does an excellent job of working with schools, churches, nonprofit organizations and local chambers of commerce said Eric Wagner of Progressive Mobile Marketing, an independent marketing consultant for YIP.

YIPDeals takes 12 percent of each sale made and sets it aside specifically for charitable donations. Best of all, you can choose which charitable organization gets the money.

For many it is a win/win situation. You get some great deals on ordinary products and your personal favorite charity gets a nice sum of money, Wagner continued.

YIPDeals even has a special fundraising opportunity with schools.

Unlike many fundraisers that only last a short time, YIPDeals Fundraisers can go yearround and even into the summer. The more parents, students, teachers and administrators shop with YIPDeals, the more money the individual school earns. It is really that simple, Wagner added.

Most recently, the YIPDeals program, working with a PTA in a school raised over $600.00 for the school in a remarkably short time.

What helps with the YIPDeals program is that we also work with local merchants and restaurants so you get not only a great deal, but also a chance to help a school and a local business. The benefits are enormous when you look at everything that you get, Wagner continued.

Future Problem Solving Program International Announces Topic on International Women's Day

A Chinese saying, "Women hold up half the sky," was the inspiration for The Future Problem Solving Program International's selection of this year's topic to be used at their International Conference. FPSPI, an educational non-profit competition for students ages 10 and beyond, is announcing its topic for the International Conference on International Women's Day this year. International Women's Day was first observed in 1909, and in 1981 Congress established National Women's History Week to be commemorated the second week of March. Congress later expanded the week to a month. Events around the world will celebrate women's role in history and promote this year's theme, Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination:

Celebrating Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Joining in this celebration, Future Problem Solving Program International chose March 8th, International Women's Day, to announce the International Conference topic, Global Status of Women, to their students.

Each year FPSPI students research and apply a problem solving process to a topic of international importance. At the conference students will address a futuristic scene relating to the Global Status of Women and develop a plan of action that will focus on opportunities for women world-wide while considering various governmental policies and the vast cultural and religious differences in attitudes towards women. This year's conference will welcome nearly 2,000 students from around the world at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, from June 6th through June 9th.

In addition to the Global Issues Problem Solvers who will be addressing the Global Status of Women, scenario writers will write futuristic stories projecting ideas about the topic into the future. All students who participate at the international level have competed on various other topics throughout the school year and have earned a place at the conference. The conference also features teams and individuals who have completed a year-long service project on a topic of their own choosing that aids their community, their nation, or the world in some way. These Community Problem Solvers also compete for top honors and will showcase their projects at a conference fair.

Future Problem Solving Program International was established in 1974 by Dr. E. Paul Torrance at the University of Georgia. It has since grown to include students from 42 states and 16 countries. It is difficult to say how many hundreds of thousands of students participate each year as the program reaches students who may be participating non-competitively in classrooms or after school programs using the materials to enhance curriculum, critical, and creative thinking. Future Problem Solving Program International may be contacted at their website http://www.fpspi.org or on Facebook.

Coventry University and Ingram collaborate on innovative textbook program for students

RINGWOOD, UNITED KINGDOM To ensure undergraduates get the best value for their money, first year students at Coventry University will have core textbooks and materials provided as part of their course fees in 2012 and 2013 through an innovative program developed between Coventry University and Ingram Content Group's UK library supply company.

The higher education system is undergoing unprecedented change, and this collaboration with Ingram demonstrates how were adapting to the developments so that the focus remains on whats best for our students, said Philip Vaughan, Assistant Director of Learning and Research at Coventry University. Coventry prides itself on being an innovative university, and initiatives like this are exactly the kind of innovations which places of learning should be embracing as the education landscape evolves and students expectations change.

Coventrys textbook program was developed in response to changes in the UK higher education system for 2012, which has seen undergraduates tuition fees rise. Working with Ingram, the University is providing core textbooks for the first year of students courses at no cost through the new program. Ingram is the supplier of print books.

The University continues to distribute textbooks to approximately 3,400 new undergraduates on campus, with Ingram and Coventry University staff working jointly on distribution.

The initial pilot phase of the project will be reviewed by the University and Ingram in early December, before the two organizations embark on a dedicated program for supplying textbooks to new students in both print and digital formats.

As institutions and their libraries create new business models in response to education reform, were pleased that our full range of content solutions, including our rich textbook offering, will provide students with the resources they need to succeed in school, said Dan Sheehan, Vice President & General Manager, Ingram Content Group library services. We look forward to our work with Coventry and putting the results of the pilot to good use, creating a program that benefits all.

Ingram continues to grow the number of libraries and institutions it works with in the region, supplying the main universities including Warwick University and Birmingham City University, along with the majority of colleges such as Henley College and Birmingham Metropolitan College.

ADPs professional certification is a key component of the ADP Pro program.

ADP certification is offered twice a year during the Spring and Fall. The program includes virtual test preparation classes and requires an in-person exam at one of Pearson VUEs more than 200 national testing centers. Candidates who complete ADPs test preparation classes earn Continuing Education (CE) Credits at the rate of 1.5 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Credits, 1.5 Recertification Credit Hours (RCH) or 0.2 Continuing Education Units (CEU). Payroll and human resources professionals at midsized companies will have access to ADPs growing list of certification areas, which includes ADP Workforce Now, the companys primary human resources management solution for midsized companies.

The ADP Pro program also features ongoing training opportunities through a new series of webinars that are free for clients. Running twice a month, these webinars will showcase best practices across a variety of topics from healthcare reform and risk management to navigating the social media landscape. The ADP Pro webinar series offers clients another way to earn Continuing Education Credits and can be accessed via ADPs client portal. The first webinar will take place on March 13 and will focus on empowering a mobile workforce. On March 27, another webinar will take place focusing on the U.S. Affordable Care Act.

ADP will also offer in-person access to ADP Pros at their semiannual regional User Group Meetings. At ADPs User Group Meetings midsized businesses will be able to receive one-on-one insights from the companys internal experts on timely business issues while receiving training on ADPs ever-evolving product set.

By offering convenient training opportunities that yield continuing education credits and provide direct access to experts in areas like compliance, ADP Pro will help my organization take a best practice approach to workforce management, said Roslyn H.

Well Said, Well Read: New Method of Offering Customer Promotions Expands the Reach and Receptiveness of Red Apple Reading


In an ever-increasing world of cyber communication, text messaging, and sentiments abbreviated to 140 characters, Tammy Bennecke, creator of Red Apple Reading, is finding that customers pleased with her online early-elementary reading education program are still willing to take the time to spread the word about their satisfaction.

A longtime educator, Bennecke saw far too many students fall behind in the classroom, simply because they were unable to grasp the crucial language skills at the same time as their peers, leading to a lag in their learning abilities that could plague them throughout their grade-school education.

Benneckes answer was Red Apple Reading, a tutorial program accessed via computers and tablets with an internet connection, helping young learners build their reading skills through engaging games, interactive characters, and a responsive pace that synchronizes with each students stride.

In an effort to get her program into the hands of more students, Bennecke has taken steps to expand her reach. From a partnership with LivingSocial to a special promotion for educators, Bennecke took advantage of special offers to make the program more affordableand access to Red Apple Reading easier than everthroughout the first month of 2013. The result was an explosion of Red Apple Reading users across the learning spectrum.

Bennecke conveyed that Red Apple Reading is now being utilized in at least 45 states in the U.S., plus a few outside countriesand plans to expand her continental (and perhaps inter-continental?) reach. Plans are in progress for collaborations with popular online coupon programs Google Offers and Groupon, as well as possibly more promotions with LivingSocial.

We are finding that this method of marketingrevenue sharing with coupon and daily deals companiesis currently the most effective way to get our reading program into the hands of parents and children quickly, Bennecke said. Getting more children to use the program helps more children become better readers, which is what we are here for.

A plethora of pleased-customer testimonials found on the sites Testimonials and Facebook pages assure Bennecke her program is resonating with students, educators, and parents.

While offering Red Apple Reading through deal sites and coupon affiliates alters the profit margin for Red Apple Reading, Bennecke says that, after reading of the widespread help her program is offering, shes willing to take a smaller piece of the (apple) pie.

Its important for us to make this instructional program accessible to parents and early childhood educatorseven if the majority of our sales are through discounts and our revenue split is about half, Bennecke said. We are a small company with a big heart, and we want to help as many children as possible become better readers.

About Red Apple Reading:
With offices in Southern California, Red Apple Reading was founded in 2011 by educator Tammy Bennecke. The company is in the process of developing a full range of pre-kindergarten through third grade reading products, as well as upper elementary/middle school reading adventure games, available both online and as mobile apps. Red Apple Reading plans to expand into other subject areas as the companys growth continues. Find out more about Red Apple Reading at http://www.RedAppleReading.com.

Australian Global Citizenship Programs for School Students Take Tasmanian Students to Timor Leste

Tasmania, Australia February, 2013 Tasmanias Scotch Oakburn College sent the second group of their staff and students off to visit their Timor Leste global citizenship partner school, Maliana One High School, as part of a global citizenship program for school students. Principal Andrew Barr also joined the trip, facilitated by not-for-profit social education organisation Destination Dreaming, which runs global service learning programs for Australian school students in partnership with schools in rural Australia and in nearby countries. www.destinationdreaming.org.au/

The students first morning in Maliana began with dancing at 5:00am with new local friends, before the group headed out to watch the Tour De Timor bike race through the town. Each day was filled with lots of English language tutoring- working in small groups at the Encouragement House and at Maliana One a key way to bring the global citizenship program to life on each trip. The Scotch Oakburn teachers also ran a session for pre-service teachers at the local university to foster a higher level of shared learning as part of the global citizenship program.

One evening, the group shared dinner with a local family just outside Maliana, who are campaigning to get a library built in a nearby village. This is a worthy project that Destination Dreaming is currently negotiating funding and support for.

After Scotch Oakburn Colleges first visit in 2011, the Colleges community raised an amazing $3,000 for their partner Timor Leste school. This years group had the privilege of donating the funds on behalf of the community, which will enable Maliana One to install fresh drinking water for their 1300 students and 55 staff. www.destinationdreaming.org.au/

Funds from the groups visit and Destination Dreaming were also used to buy materials and pay local builders to construct another student shelter for the new dormitory Kookaburra. The shelters have proved to be a real hit and it was great to see the students (from both Scotch Oakburn and the Encouragement House) assisting the builders to prepare the site and foundation.

At the conclusion of the 10 days, a participant of the global service learning program for school students 18-year-old Kathleen said I have learnt that giving is a truly fantastic experience and that making a change in one persons life, changes the world for them. I had the best week of my life giving and as a result will endeavor to share and continue to give for the rest of my life. www.destinationdreaming.org.au/

Scotch Oakburn teacher Tania Deguara said, once again the experience was incredible. Cultural awareness, global understanding, problem solving and collaboration are essential skills to have to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. A Destination Dreaming program provides an excellent opportunity for young people to learn about and experience the challenges, hopes and possibilities of another culture and in turn learn about the ways they as young people in Australia can shape the world they want to live in.

Destination Dreaming works with schools in Australia and internationally to create sustainable community partnerships and teach students from both areas about global citizenship, self-awareness and social justice. These global citizenship programs for school students are aimed at helping the young people to thrive in an increasingly global world where understanding cultural differences is becoming more and more important.

IU's Kelley School of Business Partnering with the American University of Mongolia to Offer MBA

Indiana University's Kelley School of Business has entered into a partnership with the newly formed American University of Mongolia to offer an MBA for global executives beginning in September.

A recently signed memorandum of understanding between the two institutions builds on long-running ties between IU and Mongolia.

IU is considered one of the world's leading centers of academic expertise in Mongolian Studies, and IU's Department of Central Eurasian Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences is the sole independent, degree-granting academic unit in the U.S. staffed with its own faculty of specialists in the region.

"This new program signifies our commitment to partnering with American University of Mongolia to offer new and innovative business education programs to meet the needs of this dynamic country," said Idalene Kesner, interim dean of the Kelley School and the Frank P. Popoff Chair of Strategic Management. "The growth that is occurring in Mongolia is exciting, and we are proud to be working to support the economic potential of the country through education."

The degree program will be a blend of classes taught on the American University of Mongolia campus in Ulaanbaatar and online instruction.

With a focus on growing international opportunities in Mongolia, the curriculum will focus on four themes that emphasize a global managerial perspective: leadership, managing global resources, innovation and entrepreneurship, and applied projects. It will include a one-week residency at IU Bloomington and a one-week program at the Washington Campus in Washington, D.C.

"We are delighted to be partnering with Indiana University's Kelley School of Business in offering this program, building on the already strong relationship that exists between the school and this country," said J. Peter Morrow, chairman of American University of Mongolia. "The Kelley School of Business was recently ranked as the number one business school in the U.S. in terms of teaching quality, career services and student satisfaction, so this also fits with our emphasis on choosing quality partners while we are developing our own programs."

The Kelley School of Business also offers an MBA for executives with Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea. Kelley and the Indian Institute of Management-Lucknow soon will offer graduate-level certificate programs and eventually a graduate degree program on business analytics to business professionals in India.

The American University of Mongolia is a new independent nonprofit liberal arts university. In addition to the MBA, in September 2014 it will begin accepting students into its four-year undergraduate programs.
