What Are Some Organisms That Cause Meningitis

LIM and 3D virtual worlds

The educational project "LIM and 3D virtual worlds - a perfect match for learning to program" has been awarded a project for excellence and good practice with the IWB at the 7th International Congress Erickson, held in Rimini, a few days ago. This is a teaching unit that I designed and built with my high school class IV and whose purpose was to introduce programming elements in the normal mathematics curriculum.
The enthusiasm of the boys, almost hypnotized by the strange and new mix of LIM and the virtual world, has been crucial for me to go all the way in implementing the project and also submit it to the trial of a technical committee chaired by Prof. Antonio Calvani, a 'authority in the field.
And so I found myself among the 10 selected projects that have been invited to present their work at the conference.
I set all the way to work by using photos taken by the students themselves (two photographers) in the most significant activity.
This has made it understandable and concrete.
The appreciation that I have seen painted on the faces of colleagues, people who know you speaking, the everyday reality of living class, it gives me satisfaction and makes me continue on this path.

Heart Palpitationsleft Back Pain

a world created by our imagination that respects the laws of physics

Today I'm talking about physical simulators.
Even these are virtual environments, though two-dimensional.
There are beautiful and I derive a new push by the multi-touch culture that today is the most popular.
You can teach it a little bit of physics even to children, leaving to play with their little hands on interactive whiteboards with these programs, inspired by the constructionist view of learning by designing, building.
speak of free programs.
I can not remain silent Physicsgames tell us where you find 60 games teaching of physics in flash.
For the first simulators that I present is Crayon Physics. (Version de luxe € 17.99) a game in which what we draw with a pencil becomes magicamenete in objects that obey the laws of physics.

with which you can create from the outset that any irregular shape you want or to use the classic forms of circle, rectangle. Each shape can be customized by setting numerical parameters through a drop down menu visible when you click on the form concerned.
Parameters are many: you can change the weight, gravity, add custom textures to figures and more. The various forms can also be bonded using jointed rings or gear that will simulate some movement or action that we created using the gravity and the fundamental laws of physics.

New York Driver's License Hologram

Free Art at La Camera Chiara Congress SIEL

And here I am at the University of Salerno, at the congress of the Italian Society for e-learning, with my poster on "light room" done to illustrate the characteristics of this learning experience in which I was tutor / participant from January until the summer of this year.
Many interesting ideas at the conference for people like me who takes care of e-learning.
I found such a project I did not know: AQUARING (Accessible and Qualified Use of Available Digital Resource about Aquatic World In National Gathering). Created by a consortium coordinated dall'Aquario Genoa is an incredible source of educational materials on marine biology. Or the project
OLnet : "to search out the evidence for use and reuse of open educational resource".
verrry interesting activities of the "School of robotics " which works with schools in innovative projects. (I shot a spot but did not come uff)
But here's the poster saw a little more closely.

Here's a bit 'of the statements made by the courts of X Factor related to the new season of the program.
's interview given to the weekly "TV SMILES AND SONGS" is the first in which the protagonist's new "hit" Francesco Facchinetti or Claudia Mori, the new entry of the program.
Mainly, Facchinetti said, "the singers are better prepared and a little 'destabilized, because they understood, following the program, which goes on only those who have a unique personality and well-defined." Claudia Mori, certainly not sent to say: "I'm hypercritical, especially myself, and I will be with the singers in the competition."
addition to talent, what are the three qualities of the perfect competitor?
Morgan answers like this "The 'open-mindedness that leads to curiosity, knowledge of music that should not be limited to the vocal, the' humility is typical of large, which enables you to recognize the propi mistakes and confront their own limits. "
Mara "stubbornness, strength and desire to grow."
Claudia "are contrary to the clones. The real talent is a state of oneness and extravagance that can sometimes escape."
a competitor as the "ugly" Susan Boyle, the revelation of "Britain's Got Talent" would have arrived in Italy in the final?
Morgan "a new talent in the race on my team has some similarities to Susan Boyle, in that it has a surprisingly beautiful voice, but not is Botticelli's Venus. "

Loyalist College - Canada - Second Life simulation

at Loyalist College (Canada) improve test scores and the results of training through the use of Second Life.


Border security is a top priority for national security, regardless of the country in the world where you live.
When it comes to border security, all we rely on our border guards who keep us safe. But put yourself in the shoes of a new border guard for a moment. It is hard work. You must be ready to respond to a wide range of possible scenarios, from predictable to those difficult to imagine. And if you manage a bad situation imagine the consequences.

In this new case study, entitled "Virtual Real World Simulation Training Prepares Guards on the US-Canadian Border: Loyalist College in Second Life," ", it explores how simulation training in Second Life are acting directly to improve test scores and apply directly to the real world workplace. The real result? One of the borders more secure.

After the simulation scores from a 56% success rate in 2007 rose to 95% at the end of 2008. The program's success has encouraged over 650 students and eight faculty to explore Second Life for mixed purposes. It has also generated considerable interest and demand for learning from other institutions, which led to the 'establishment of a Loyalist Virtual Design Center, which employs former students with experience in Second Life in the classroom for the development of new virtual learning environments.

So what makes training in Second Life so successful? It 's the sense of presence. You actually like being in a "real" environment when you are in a virtual world, despite the fact that you are physically sitting at a desk in front of a computer. Kathryn deGast-Kennedy, Professor and Coordinator of the Customs Border Services Loyalist College Program says, "Even though I was an official of the Border Services for 28 years, I felt the same level of anxiety in the virtual border crossing 28 years ago. This experience has made me a supporter to dell'apprendmento 'inside of Second Life. "

Is Rosery Beads A Gang Thing

Learn to learn Have Doubts

E 'paradoxical, but the sites for learning purposes of the biggest names in software ... are unusable without instructions!
talks about the new portal dedicated to Adobe eSeminar and that of Microsoft dedicated to events.

The first presents a front-end in which the ancient navigation sinister acts as a pretext for the implementation of puerile entertainment.
The design is bad, but what is more serious and that it is inconvenient to search for seminars and even more to join.
There are, moreover, the bug (obtained with a simple search after selecting a free eSeminar):



The second, as tradition for the Colossus of Redmond, has a complexity of navigation and selection of the (many) subjects, in order to discourage use.
To give a few examples:
- the selection of an event (this is a convention rather than a webcast) requires filling out a registration form dense preceded by the words:
"Please fill out the form below line. If you do not want to send information, click Cancel. "
Uhm ... ok, then what happens? I think ... ok, you see that it is not necessary to fill out the form to access the resource. Wrong. The 'Cancel' you back to the event page.
So I wonder, would not have been easier direct and proclaim: "To complete the registration at the event please complete the following online form and give the same button" Cancel "to mean" do not send the information? "!
- Fantastic system to search for events and webcasts: a jumble of monumental search filters, all at the same level, inadequate to finding what you need.
I should explain what is the field "Location" for the webcast ... and what is it outright on the "end date" ... and why the fields devoted to the content (what really matters) are relegated to the bottom.
Moreover, the result set is not typed (I can not distinguish between an event and a live webcast until I ask for details) and is not refined by any of the mechanisms now being adopted in the modern world of Web2.0!



How much effort to learn how to learn ...
