Answers
on How to Get an Education Degree Online


Press Release Body: HOBOKEN, NJ- May 1, 2008- Every year when school lets out for
summer vacation many working parents feel a tinge of guilt as their kids are at home
and they are at work. For some parents, summer sparks an interest in finding a job
that has summer flexibility and teaching is a perfect option. Many turn to
education degrees online to achieve their dream teaching position. To help those
individuals, eLearners.com, a web resource of EducationDynamics, has launched the
Mini-Guide to Online Education Degrees, which answers critical questions for those
considering going back for a teaching degree online.

"Most teachers work ten-months a year, allowing them to be at home during the summer
with their kids and to have extended breaks around the holidays," said Terrence
Thomas, Chief Marketing Officer for eLearners.com. "If getting a teaching degree
interests you, a great way to make that a reality is through online education. By
studying online you can keep your current job, while studying for a new one."

The eLearners.com's Mini-Guide to Online Education degrees is a simple-to-navigate
and comprehensive resource that covers:

. Is an Online Degree in Education Right for Me?
. What's the Difference Between Online Masters Degrees in Education, Master of Arts
in Teaching, Master of Science in Education and a Master of Arts in Teaching?
. What Courses will I Take in an Online Education Degree?
. How Much do Teachers, Professors, and Other Education Degree Holders Earn?
. Comprehensive information on more than 280 online education and teaching degrees.

eLearners.com also offers resources on financial aid including the Debt-Free College
Guide, which is part of eLearners.com's Student Loans and Financial Aid Center. The
center includes a database of $15 billion in scholarship opportunities and detailed
information about financial aid, loans, loan consolidation and employer tuition
assistance programs. eLearners.com has also introduced such innovations as the
eLearners Advisor, an assessment that through a series of targeted questions ranging
from technology access and skills, to personal motivation and learning styles, can
help prospective elearners determine if online learning is right for them.

For current teachers who are already enjoying the summer benefits of being an
educator, pursuing additional education online provides an opportunity to advance
their career through online graduate programs. A number of states require that
teachers obtain a master's degree in education within a specified period after they
begin teaching and this degree usually leads to higher pay. According to
PayScale.com teachers with a master's in education earn about six thousand more a
year, than teachers with a bachelor's degree. Fortunately for today's busy
professional, there are a number of accredited universities that offer online
education degrees.

"There is not a more admirable job than being an educator," continued Thomas. "And
there is not a more flexible and accessible way to become an educator or advance
one's career as an educator than through online education. Our goal at
eLearners.com is to help people find the information and guidance they need to make
the right decision."
