Great Courses is currently offering up to 5 lecture series for $35 each. Most of them are 24-36 sessions. You will receive the dvd set and a guidebook so you can use and reuse them. The lectures are presented by top professors and come in a variety of topics. This is a great deal as they are regularly $200+ each. I am currently doing a 36 week course on the geology of the North American National Parks and a 24 week series on Practicing Mindfulness: Intro to Meditation. My residents are living them!! I believe the sales goes until Feb. 3 2023. Great Courses does this at the beginning of every year. It’s a great opportunity to build a lifetime learning library.
I have been a member of Golden Carers for several years and still find it as amazingly beneficial as the day I became a member. There are so many ideas and the support is wonderful, my job is made much easier with the help of Golden Carers.
My residents have brought up a couple of times about being interested in attending interesting talks as an activity.
This suits me well, I like to share information, research etc.. but I don't have a lot of time to produce anything myself.
Does anyone run talks already? And if so, do you know of any resources of say powerpoints or anything on specific topics?
Thanks
I do not have any presentations, but I think the armchair travel to so many places would make nice talks
