Wow, I was blown away by your positive responses to the article about MOOCs that I posted earlier this week. Out of more than 125 articles I’ve posted on my blog, only two others received more views and shares. This tells me that ongoing education is a high priority for you, my readers. 

As a result, I decided to post an extra article this week and let you know about another excellent educational opportunity that’s coming up in May. Unlike the MOOCs, there is a fee associated with this program. However, I believe it’s worth every dime.

Have you ever experienced a MOOC? Perhaps you’re thinking, “What on earth is a MOOC?”

MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course. It’s a class that anyone can access from anywhere in the world as long as they have Internet service. Many MOOCs are affiliated with top universities. Besides, they offer high-quality education on an amazing variety of topics.

So, today I decided to begin by sharing several books that help children understand dementia. It’s often confusing and even scary for kids when they watch someone they love going through the changes that come with a diagnosis of dementia. These books provide a gentle explanation of what’s happening and prompt kids to bring up any questions and concerns.
