Interview with a Pediatrician I often get interview questions from students about becoming a pediatrician. Typical questions include how much school do you have to go through, what influenced you to become a pediatrician, typical salaries, etc. While I am going to answer many of those questions, if you are doing a school project on a career in pediatrics, I think it is best that you talk with a pediatrician in your community and do the interview in person. 1) What kind of education do you need to become a pediatrician? Pediatricians typically complete 11 years of training to become a pediatrician, including: 4 years of college 4 years of medical school 1 year of an internship in pediatrics 2 years of a pediatric residency Pediatric specialists, like a pediatric cardiologist or pediatric endocrinologist, also have to complete at least 3 years of specialty fellowship training. 2) How much does all of that schooling cost? 3) What should I choose as a major in college? Of course not. 5) Does it matter where I go to college?

Google Webmaster Tools To Add JavaScript Debugging Tool Google has announced on the Google Webmaster Central blog that in the “coming days” they will be releasing a new tool to help debug your site’s JavaScript issues. Specifically, Google is going to show you if they have issues crawling and indexing your site because of JavaScript implementation mistakes. Google said: We have been gradually improving how we do this for some time. During this process, they’ve run into several frequent problems that may “negatively impact” your pages from ranking in the search results. These are the highlighted issues: If resources like JavaScript or CSS in separate files are blocked (say, with robots.txt) so that Googlebot can’t retrieve them, our indexing systems won’t be able to see your site like an average user. Google says the new tool is coming to Google Webmaster Tools “in the coming days.” Related Topics: Channel: SEO | Google: SEO | Google: Webmaster Central

edsurge Over 30 million teachers and students use Google Apps for Education when it comes to writing assignments, crafting presentations, and doing just about any kind of learning activity that includes the web. Today, the Internet search giant hopes to become an even bigger presence in schools with the pre-release announcement of Classroom, a free tool built on Google Apps for Education designed to help teachers organize, assign, and collect work done across Google Docs (which also includes Sheets and Slides) and Google Drive. Already, many teachers are using Google’s productivity apps to organize their students’ work, says Zach Yeskel, a product manager on Google’s Apps for Education team and a former high school math teacher in Oakland. “We’ve heard a lot of teachers that use Google Apps as a LMS,” he says. With Classroom, Yeskel says managing classroom assignments will be even easier. In addition, there will be “class streams” where teachers can leave notes and reminders.
