Online Lessons for Hillsboro Students Start April 6

The Hillsboro School District is handing out Chromebooks to students in preparation for the start of online classes on April 6.

According to Beth Graser, Hillsboro School District spokesperson, they have enough devices to give one to every student who needs it.

Meanwhile, teachers are compiling online learning materials to prepare for the start of online classes on April 6.

The materials will initially be a set of grade-level packets that they have been working on since March 16.

However, while the school district has 1500 MiFi devices, it may take them until mid-April to hand those out.

But since the school district can’t guarantee that online learning can satisfy all the students’ needs, the activities won’t be graded. The purpose is to keep students’ skills up and review past lessons.

Students will mainly be studying supplementary learning materials they’ve used before.

Likewise, in Portland, public school teachers will be fine-tuning their online learning programs in preparation for online classes that are expected to begin next week.

The Oregon Department of Education will provide guidance for grading and curriculum for online learning in the next several days.

It’s about time for consumer-packaged goods (CPG) brands to develop effective shipping strategies to enhance its preparedness for e-commerce, according to Ice Break Shipping’s CEO Augusto Beato.

He was reacting to a study conducted by Profitero and Kantar where many CGP companies brands admitted not being prepared for e-commerce.

Just 17 percent said they are ahead of the e-commerce space, while 71 percent but are trying to catch up with competitors.

The study was done from September to December last year, just before the coronavirus outbreak.

Beato, who is also the CEO of Portland SEO, noted that many CPG brands admit not having dedicated e-commerce strategies, which include goals, customer master plans, and a set of processes to handle orders.

With pricing and profitability being the biggest challenges for e-commerce firms, Beato pointed out that shipping should be made a core aspect of e-commerce to reduce the customer’s cost.

“If you keep shipping honest, you may entice customers with promos as free shipping,” said Beato. “This will give you a headstart against competitors who don’t even mention shipping.”

Beato added that sellers could establish a price threshold per order where shipping becomes free but should be consistent on offering the promo.

“Thus, if a seller gives free shipping for orders worth $100 or more, it would be good to apply the promo consistently and eventually remove the value requirement for loyal customers,” he pointed out.

Beato also added that more complex setups, such a “Same Day Delivery” should be coordinated with the fulfillment partners and the warehouse team to be able to make good on the offer consistently.

With online shopping habits likely to last after the coronavirus outbreak, it is crucial for brands to put their e-commerce strategies in place.

“With digital shoppers doubling since August 2019 and more people planning to start buying groceries online if the virus scare continues, this is a chance for brands to cash in on e-commerce,” he quipped.

Telemedicine is an ideal way of consulting your doctors during the coronavirus crisis, but those done with naturopathic doctors are not covered by Providence.

While many doctors are currently embracing telemedicine in observance of social distancing brought about by the COVID-19 threats, not all insurance companies are covering this service for naturopathic medicine.

ABOUT PDX LOCAL SERVICES

Our community resource website is an online list or catalog of websites. That is, it is a directory on the World Wide Web of (all or part of) the World Wide Web. Historically, directories typically listed entries on people or businesses, and their contact information; such directories are still in use today. A web directory or what we like to call a community resource website includes entries about websites, including links to those websites, organized into categories and subcategories. Besides a link, each entry may include the title of the website and a description of its contents. In most web directories, the entries are about whole websites, rather than individual pages within them (called “deep links”). Websites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories.

There are two ways to find information on the Web: by searching or browsing. Web directories provide links in a structured list to make browsing easier. Many web directories combine searching and browsing by providing a search engine to search the directory. Unlike search engines, which base results on a database of entries gathered automatically by a web crawler, most web directories are built manually by human editors. Many web directories allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion and have editors review submissions for fitness.
Web directories may be general in scope or limited to particular subjects or fields. Entries may be listed for free, or by paid submission (meaning the site owner must pay to have his or her website listed).
