<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good ideas are trading higher, and more and more. But, contrary to what it may seem, they do not arise when people feel fresh and rested, but when people are exhausted mentally</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Creativity is a rising star in the economy that we live. Good ideas to make the most of the digital economy to adapt to it, to create businesses, to survive from day to day or simply to get out of unemployment are needed. It needs to be creative to solve social problems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When do you think the best ideas arise, including your own? When it is fresh and rested early in the morning after a good night's sleep? After a walk or a session in the gym? What half of your workday, when you are on task?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Contrary to what it seems, the dictates of common sense, the best ideas, the most creative, arise when people are mentally exhausted. This is what says a research paper entitled The role of (dis) inhibition in creativity: Decreased inhibition Improves Idea Generation, published in the journal Cognition specialist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The authors Remi Radel (University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis), Karen Davranche (University of Aix-Marseille), Marion Fournier (University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis) and Arne Dietrich (American University of Beirut) - asked a group grade students to play a computer game in which they had to discover the direction of an arrow ignoring the arrows around her. A group of students played a version where all the arrows pointing in the same direction; another group did a version in which the arrows pointing in opposite directions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then the students made a series of verbal test. In one, they had to propose new uses for common objects such as paper clips and newspapers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, to the surprise of researchers, students played with the version that required more concentration (one in which the arrows pointing in different directions) were more creative than the other group. According to the article, this is because the tasks that required attention exhausted inhibition of participants, that is, the ability of your brain to eliminate awareness of unnecessary information. It is as if the mental exhaustion eliminate all corsets that limit our creativity and allow it to flow freely, unfettered by our brain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These results fit with research by Charles J. Limb (John Hopkins University), published in the journal PLoS One under the title Neural substrates of spontaneous musical performance: an FMRI study of jazz improvisation. Limb studied the brain activity of jazz musicians and rappers and found that when these artists were creating something new, the part of their brains associated with inhibition was calmer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The implications of these findings are immediate. If you want to be more creative, we must reduce one's inhibitions, for example, performing tasks requiring alertness, such as crossword puzzles. Or take advantage when they get home after a hard day's work and put to work the brain doing something creative.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
HR experts say that a good group is capable of generating and strengthening enthusiasm, cohesion and job satisfaction</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The advantages of teamwork are unquestionable and produced very positive results, especially for businesses. Proof of this is the increasingly more common dynamic group preparing experts selection when choosing your ideal candidate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A team of well trained and coordinated work have a positive impact not only on the results of the organization but also to employees. HR experts say that a good group is capable of generating and strengthening enthusiasm, cohesion and job satisfaction. No But nobody says it an easy task to achieve it must be good atmosphere, affinity and good labor relations "explains Trabajando.com-Universia which analyzes the main aspect of group work:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stimulates creativity and better ideas are generated: brainstorming or "brainstorming" is a technique of group work that facilitates the emergence of new ideas in order to solve a problem or issue. It is certainly a very efficient and very common innovation when taking strategic decisions tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sum of talents: the integration of different skills, abilities, attitudes, experiences and views complement leading to better results than if it had developed individually.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It increases motivation, commitment and decreases stress: working independently, the workload will always be greater and the responsibility will fall on one person. However, when working as a team, in moments of failure you will always find someone to inject energy to the group as well go ahead and encourage others.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Identifies the strengths and weaknesses: each team member employee is assigned a role that must be met and that corresponds to what you do best.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Best decisions are taken: to become visible the various viewpoints consensus on what to do is clear more reinforced </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Improves tolerance and respect: the whole group should consider the different perspectives and respect the views of others to have thus a comprehensive vision of the research.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Teaming does not mean all work with all tasks, rather the contrary. Each person should have a specific role and responsibility This is very important to maintain a good working environment and avoid conflicts, as if commit an error, identify them individually to see how they failed so we can correct it, "explains Javier Caparros.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When a team does not perform well, it is because there is a point that should be reviewed and improved. To find out what is happening is necessary to make a thorough diagnosis and analyze certain situations such as:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We find among the members of the group of aggressive symptoms, irony, hostility or indifference in attitudes; some components are physically absent without any reason or no attention to the issues of debate; the disagreement is constant with respect to the opinions of others; the goals and objectives individually are awarded; There segregaciónde division of the group or any of its members; discussions are excessive and intense; there is a lack of cooperation and deterrent for others continue to work; We detect a constant negative attitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In this regard, Javier Caparrós added that "we can always find people who represent an obstacle when working together. If a negative person, continually waste time or absent, inefficient, arrogant exists in the group, and / or that always acts against the head, it is necessary to tackle and work immediately on all these harmful behaviors that have this guy because they can harm the environment and generate conflicts with the rest of the group.

<b>In many cases, the career speaks louder than the curriculum itself</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In many cases, companies seek specific profiles for areas that do not need to study four years of career to be a professional in that area. Certainly, in many cases, the career speaks louder than the curriculum itself. There are many professionals in the world succeeding without having college. They are experts in their field and is unsurpassed by that they themselves, being self-taught, have been able to be the best. There is a long list of jobs without a college career that does not have to be underpaid, quite the opposite: charge more than they already have many career.

This programming language is overlooked in many of the universities. No specific college career to learn Ruby On Rails. It is a language that is learned through experience, reading and interest. In addition, Ruby On Rails developers are the most popular and best paid now, so it's a job to be taken into account.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>FRONT END DEVELOPER</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The border between the web designer and developer Backend. There is no college career to study Front End.

Women are the majority in all branches except for Engineering and Architecture, groups with higher contribution base and number of permanent contracts. Qualifications with the highest percentage of self-employed are Health Sciences, according to the Social Security affiliation.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The major concern of a new graduate is unable to work in the field that has devoted years of study and effort. The qualifications that better employment recorded in 2014 and in the previous three years, according to data from the Social Security affiliation analyzed by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), were Computer Engineering (82%), Chemical Engineering and Computer engineering (75.5%). They also emphasize the degrees in Medicine (83%), Pharmacy, Mathematics, Actuarial Science and Finance (83%) and bachelor's degrees in Labour Sciences (75.6%). In the first cycle studies are head the diplomas in speech therapy (80%) Optometry (86%), Statistics (86%) and Master Specialty in Foreign (81%) Language, among others. It also stresses that the most graduates are women (64.7% versus 32.4% of men) in all branches of knowledge, except in engineering and architecture (69.3% of men compared to 30.7% of women), although it is detected, however, that men are the majority in the group with the highest contribution base, and the difference in this section in favor of men is more pronounced precisely in Engineering and Architecture. The Engineering and Health Sciences have the highest occupancy rates in jobs commensurate with their training By type of contract, qualifications with the highest percentage of self-employed belong to Health Sciences , while the group of Engineering and Architecture hosts the largest percentage of members with permanent contracts and higher salary levels, which are also the qualifications Health Sciences. In both cases there are no differences by sex. Graduates in the field of Health Sciences have the best rate of affiliation by contribution group, followed by the branches of Engineering and Science, ie, which have higher occupancy percentages of jobs commensurate with their training .</div>

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A blocking minority consisting of eight member states - Germany, UK, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Latvia - have kept extending until 2013 the European aid to relocate unemployed who have been dismissed as a result of the crisis.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The knowledge of these processes does not imply a mastery of them, however as we know and understand better, the better decisions we make about the same and this is reflected in the results you get.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The postpress is the last process of production after printing, and includes all the finishing processes, manipulated, joining pieces and packaging.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Knowing all these processes we may be able to choose correctly between the different types of paper that exist and determine the method most appropriate print and the type of finishes that will give our printed, according to our budget and we should give the diffusion our message.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">General Objective</div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the end of the course the student will differentiate the types of finishes that are carried out within the postpress process and select the most appropriate in accordance with the requirements of presentation and quality of the project graph to make.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Topic 1.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The process of design and its relationship with the postpress</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Subtopics</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.1 Features and materials for the production of a project best graphic design .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.2 Selection of the system of printing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.4 Selection of finishes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.5 Quality control of products printed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Learning Objective</div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the end of the topic the student will evaluate the importance of all the separate elements of the postpress stage that must be considered within a graphic production process.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Introduction</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The printing process can be divided into the following 4 stages:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Design Phase</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Pre-press stage</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Stage of production or release .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Stage or post press finishing</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The responsibility of the graphic designer is not limited only to contribute to aesthetics and creativity in solving a problem of communication , you must know all the tools you have at your fingertips, the limitations and scope with each, and the costs and time it takes at each step, with this knowledge, the designer will be able to provide an adequate solution to every problem of communication that comes your way. Summarizing we can say that the graphic designer's responsibility starts when you decide to solve the problem that has been proposed, and ends, literally, having the solution thereof in his hands, ie to have the product finished graphic. And it must respond to the expectations that were raised from the outset in terms of quality, cost and communication of the message.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of the four stages that a form is submitted, it is only the first in the design, where it enters play our creativity and in which we intervene directly in the other three come into play and our knowledge of the intervene indirectly by monitoring since these stages are usually performed by third parties.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Definition of postpress</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The printing process does not end when the paper comes with the image printed. After that still need to make all finishes to the left printed as planned These finishes can be many and varied cuts, folds, elevations, bindings, coatings, laminates, pierced, hot-stamping, etc.. all these processes are called postpress. In short we can define the set of postpress processes followed after printing, so that our form is completed and ready for use in communicating a message.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.1 Features and materials for optimal production of a graphic design project</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is equally important to know that you are printing with which materials and the printing system to be used.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The same original, printed on different paper types with different inks and other printing system can give opposite results. You need paper and ink set which will be specified for a particular print, to work well with both the print system to be used, as with the aesthetic result you are looking for in print.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.2 Selection of the printing system</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The following explains the six systems most important print, operation and method of work .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It also marks a relation between the printing system, the quality it offers and its use, and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Printing systems are:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Offset (sheets)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is an indirect printing process in which the shape containing the picture (board) does not touch the media, but that transfers the image to another cylinder ( rubber ) print. This printing system is ideal for medium run lengths, ie from 1.000 copies in sizes from letter to eight trades.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.A Offset (rotary)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The printing system is equal to the specifications, the difference is the greater speed of printing, the paper comes in rolls. A rotating coil is mainly divided into five parts: carrier coils, drives printers , superstructure, folding, conditioning bands.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Types of rotary. Presses for newspaper / press printing are intended for daily or weekly press, characterized both by its large paging , high-speed runs and need of completion. Most of these machines include finishing units, folding and cutting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Typography</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The typography is to deposit the ink on a printing element etched in relief and back, to apply, then a sheet of paper. The pressure exerted on this sheet will allow the ink deposited on it. The level difference created by the engraving prevents the ink reaches the gaps.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this process involved printing the paper machine, type or print and ink. This type of machine is used to Suajes, pleco and folio.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. Flexography</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Flexography is a variant of type. It is printed on presses with rubber photopolymer plates or cylindrical plastic , bearing the image in relief. Very fluid inks. Also called aniline printing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is used to continuously print jobs, especially in flexible plastic film holders for product packaging and adhesive labels for packaging chain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Serigraphy</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It consists of a fabric stretched over a framework in which there are areas without blocking where the ink will seep up to the media. The other areas will be covered to keep the ink will not be missed. This printing process involves:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- The substrate (paper, plastic, cardboard) of different thicknesses</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Silk-screen display</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- The standard</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- The machine</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- The ink.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The substrate can be any type, flat and even irregular volume .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. Gravure (cylinder)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Is a cylinder of steel covered with a thick layer of copper smooth, in which, by means of gravure system or electronic recording, it records the negative image buried in the copper layer. Cavities will be formed and which will endure the ink and paper deposited by pressure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Huecográfica ink is liquid and contains a large amount of solvent that evaporates quickly and leaves the dry pigment on paper. To speed up the drying process, the paper web, after every body, passes through areas of air or infrared heat.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This printing system is used for large-circulation magazines that require high image quality, since it is able to maintain a stable colored all controlled circulation publication. It is also used for printing plastic and flexible packaging products for food .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The high cost of preparation, is amortized over the printing speed and print quality. This system because it is rotating, also known as rotogravure.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.3 Selection of substrates and inks</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is important that we take into account the type of substrates and inks used in the production of a graphic, because sometimes these will determine what type of finish we can use it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.3.1 Substrates</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The substrate is the surface to be printed. It is usually paper, but can be any other material, from plastic films or metal to fabric. The type of substrate used directly affects the final quality of print. In fact, substrates and semiflexible smooth finish, good consistency on the surface, neutral, with appropriate binders, fine porosity and with adequate moisture, allow the best prints. Be careful to choose a suitable printing system to the substrate you want to use. Remember that not everyone has the same capabilities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.3.2 Role</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Could we imagine a world without paper? Were there now books , magazines, newspapers, if they had not invented the paper? What would not the role of school activity, storage, transport and storage of food or other goods, work in an office , the health staff ? The great development of the paper is due, firstly, the relationship value / price that has allowed prevail over other materials in many applications.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Throughout the centuries, the role has proven to be compatible with the technical advances that have been linked to the development of new paper products: offset paper, paper for fax , photocopier paper, continuous paper for computer , etc.. The paper is therefore perfectly adapted to technical progress (speed of the machines, presses, packaging) and new uses (fax, beverages, food use toilet paper, etc.)..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The printing paper is today an important support and supply vehicle information and advertising . Advances in transmission electronics of data have not reduced, but on the contrary, have increased their use.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Versatility of use</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The International Pulp and Paper Directory has recorded a total of 457 varieties of paper. With hundreds of end uses, paper satisfies communications needs, cultural, educational, artistic, hygienic, health, distribution , storage and transportation of all types of goods and, according to them, the product is designed to meet certain requirements texture, strength , softness, absorption, etc..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the case of paper, there are several points to be taken into account when choosing:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Weight, ie, the thickness of the paper. It is measured in g/m2 or points.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. The color of the paper, since it will affect all other colors , both in tone and brilliance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. The finish of the paper, ie the surface can have coatings or textures, can be shiny or matte.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Classification</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">On its surface, we can classify basically paper and cardboard covered, not covered and embossed or textured. For its size can be classified in paper, paperboard and cardboard.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Paper characteristics</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The print quality of paper depends on the following physical and chemical characteristics:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">• Physical characteristics</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Weight or Size , weight is measured in g/m2 and the size is measured in points. One point is equal to 0.001 to 0.025 in. or mm.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The compressible blankets have proven a valuable resource in the printing of paper slightly out of calibration, maintaining sharpness, smoothness, strength and cleanliness. Agree that the caliber of the papers is as uniform as possible, as poorly calibrated papers originate defective prints.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Porosity is the number of holes per unit area which presents the role.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Highly porous papers absorb ink printed film and although it favors the drying, the overall appearance of the form may be affected. Remember that paper is a highly porous material, the air content of common stock ranges from 50% to 70%.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Consistency in its surface , is the degree of detachment from the paper lint.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Papers tend to lack consistency or shredding lint easily during the printing process, often forcing condition inks, reducing its detrimental mordencia concentration.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- absolute humidity is the amount of water considered in percentage points is contained in the paper.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The elongation or contraction experienced by the papers by absorption or water loss is intrinsic to its constitution . Careful studies have shown that the absolute humidity lithographic appropriate roles is between 7% and 8%, but depends on the type of paper and printing process. For stability to preserve its stacks of paper or cardboard with original covers before going to print.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- wrinkles and ripples . If the paper has a serious problem of wrinkles or ripples, not be printed, as a wrinkled paper is not acceptable. Sometimes the paper is wrinkled at the time of print and must find a reason to avoid this problem. Generally moisture differences are the cause of undulations, so you have to put the paper to eliminate the problem.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Absorption or penetration , is the migration of the ink through the fibers and pores of the paper immediately after printing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Highly absorbent papers are not usually appropriate for a good offset printing. In anticipation of this, no inks that have made to preserve the printed film on the substrate surface, preventing penetration.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Flexibility and hardness , is the consistency that has the role in its formation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Very hard papers are more difficult to print on offset with a suitable quality for printing so that the papers should be used compressible blankets and special inks.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Address of the fibers . In its initial development roles consist of a dispersed fiber 2% to 98% water. Upon arrival to the band (felt fabric), the fibers will lose water and are moving in the direction of making paper. In sheet-fed presses or sheet, the orientation of the fibers must be parallel to the axes of the unit printer . To determine the direction of the fibers of the paper takes a tear sheet and parallel to one side. Then another cut is torn but perpendicular to the first, the cut that follows a straight line represents the direction of the fibers, while the other will cut zigzag.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The direction of the fibers affects where they go to make bends, because if they are perpendicular to the fiber direction, may not be well marked. And if you plan to bind, it should be fiber direction parallel to the bound</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Tensile strength , is the opposition that has cut the paper when subjected to two opposing forces. Roles of low tensile strength do not support the traction of the forceps and tear.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Delamination is the tendency for some paper or paperboard, to separate into layers or form bubbles at the time of printing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This problem may be in paper or low-quality cards that contain a high moisture content.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Double Sided , differences between the two sides or sides of the paper: cloth and felt, are important through their influence on other properties of paper. As a general rule, the brightness and the smoothness of the two sides is different, so does the tone or intensity of color can be different, because most dyes have higher affinity for the fine and charges, which are in greater concentration in the side felt. The two sides behave differently during printing, so it is important to identify them before starting work.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Identification of the sides</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The fabric side is generally rougher than the felt side, due to the mark it leaves the forming fabric of the paper machine, as it is generally open or porous fabric side and closed with a texture side felt fine. Usually this side is printed. The difference in texture between the sides and felt fabric usually noticeable to the naked eye, so folding paper can be identified, directly comparing the two surfaces. On paper with watermark, you can tell because the watermark is usually read by the hand felt.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Bulk density and apparent, the density of the paper is probably the property most important. Provides information about the structure of the sheet and is related to other properties of paper, especially: porosity, stiffness, hardness and strength, but in fact affects all optical and physical properties except basis weight. It also affects the absorption and ease of printing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The apparent density of paper is affected by many factors, including: the number of joints between fibers, which depend on the diameter and flexibility of the fibers, the pressing of the wet sheet, the amount of glucose , the presence of materials that fill the gaps on the sheet, and so on. The density of paper or cardboard is its weight per unit volume.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The specific volume or bulk is the reciprocal of the density property, or the volume in cm 3 of a gram of paper. In some cases it is customary to use bulk, when dealing with bulky paperwork, but can be considered equivalent in bulk density and what affects one also applies to the other. This property is important for manufacturers of books because if there are variations of consideration, books will have different thickness, causing problems in their binding. It is also an important property in absorbent paper and pancakes (fluffy roles, such as crepe paper).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Stiffness is the ability of paper and paperboard or cardboard to prevent deformation when subjected to stress. However, the stiffness is an extremely important property for many uses of cardboard or paper, so that in some cases it is desirable that this is high, such as paper and cardboard for printing or boxes. In contrast to other uses such as facial tissue, requires that the stiffness is very low.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Paper Smoothness is a property that affects both the appearance and functionality of the paper. From the point of view of printing paper, refers to the perfection of the surface of a paper and to the extent that uniformity resembles the surface of a glass plane. It is said that the paper has a smooth or rough texture, meaning that surface irregularities are small or large. The industry 's role is often called satin finish or the quality of the paper surface or smooth.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The roles are very distinct in their relative smoothness, since smoothness depends on other properties of the paper. The short fibers produce a smoother paper than long fibers. The preparation of the paste and how they are distributed to form the paper fibers in the fabric of the machine, have great influence on the formation and smoothness. Uneven training reduces the smoothness and the basis weight increases.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A good flatness requires the absence of gaps between fibers and fillers, or be free from: brands of cloth or felt, fiber balls, foreign materials and battered areas on the paper.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The appearance of a sheet of paper is determined not only by their physical characteristics stated above, the combination of their optical properties.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Opacity or transparency.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Brightness and Color</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Brightness</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Opacity is the property that holds the paper to allow or disallow the passage of light through it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Opacity will also affect the ability of paper to absorb ink from one side without noticing the other.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">To make the paper suitable for printing are considered in terms of opacity is required opacity is 90% to 92%, at least, although there may be exceptions such as vegetables (Opaline).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Whiteness , is the ability to reflect the role of white light falling on it, and especially the uniformity in reflectance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Brightness, is the ability of a paper to reflect light falling on it, ie its ability to mirror, we must be careful not to be confused with whiteness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- Refined and squaring . It is very important that the papers reach well refined and square cut to print on sheet-fed presses, because if you make the refined dull or nicked blade on the guillotine, or jagged vertical bar at the outlet of the larks ( in the manufacture of paper) will generate a lot of fluff. Therefore, it is desirable that the papers reach well refined, cut square and free of kaolin or charges.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">• Chemical Characteristics</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">- acidity or alkalinity, is the nature acidic, neutral or alkaline paper presents the printable side, ie, its value pH . The pH of the paper affects the drying of the inks, because for every unit increase in the pH of the solution or the surface of the paper, doubles the time of drying of the inks. Papers slightly alkaline neutral on its surface, excellent for printing.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-23634320865808508692011-12-04T02:11:00.000-08:002011-12-04T02:11:17.817-08:00Corporate Visual Identity Manual<div style="text-align: justify;">This manual of identity corporate response to the need to ensure the correct application of the elements of our Corporate Visual Identity School of Dance .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">At the event representatives were present Proantioquia, the private sector, and rectors of public and private universities of Medellin who have joined in the last 2 administrations to this alliance for the benefit of education.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Universidad de Antioquia, Universidad Eafit, the newspaper El Colombiano, Medellin Metro Chamber of Commerce of Medellin, among others, were the companies, organizations and recognized universities.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this pact for education, are 215 organizations that have taken up the challenge of sponsoring 190 educational institutions in programs such as Quality Schools and Colleges for Equality and Coexistence.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Against this, the Secretary of Education noted that the support of one or more sectors of the city in this model of voluntary cooperation has allowed that to date 100 percent of the programs referred to in line 2 of the Development Plan, which Medellin is known as the most educated, have significant results.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"All you have invested in the city that believes in education from infancy through adulthood. You should be proud, for example, of the 97 thousand children the opportunities they have given the Healthy Start program, "said Andres Felipe Gil Barrera to the honorees.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A work of all</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ceremony was a pretext to reflect human value education as the responsibility of all sectors of society, because among other things, whether the public sector and social malfunctions, the private has no future. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore evoked the Spanish philosopher and writer Fernando Savater, who says that for many African cultures child's education depends on every tribe and therefore "the whole tribe of Medellin must be committed to the education of its citizens."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Reflection on David Bojanini consistent, Chairman of the Sura, who believes that education "is the duty of all citizens" and therefore this work of social responsibility in education is a natural extension of the private sector.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What is clear is that this public-private joint should not be done from the handouts, but from the capacity building support to guide citizens towards building a more competitive city. This is the private sector contribution of their strengths and not to replace the state between.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We created more and better opportunities for quality education and always have a private sector company," the Secretary of Education of Medellin, who extended his appreciation to the public for their belief in education as a long-term bet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This commitment begins to bear fruit and will become more apparent every day, why Andres Felipe Gil Barrera finally invited the 200 business leaders to feel proud to be part of the new history of Medellín, Colombia's most educated .</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-42447476006511866412011-04-15T23:30:00.001-07:002011-04-15T23:30:55.046-07:00School Guidance<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Choose what school guidance after third grade?</b><br />
<br />
At the end of college, students must make their first career choices: general baccalaureate or technical or vocational education? Advice.<br />
<br />
The last year of college, the third grade, actually looks like the first choice of orientation for the vast majority of students. Indeed, they may opt either to continue their education in general and technological that will lead to a general degree or technology which will enable them to pursue higher education or for the professional way that allows earlier entry into active life even though it is still possible to pursue higher studies such as BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur) and DUT (Diplôme Universitaire Technologique).<br />
<br />
Several criteria are involved in the choice of orientation: Result school course but also the motivation of the young, his tastes, aptitudes, personal qualities ... Only the combination of these parameters will make an appropriate choice for each individual case because there is no right or wrong choices.<br />
<br />
But foremost, it should be familiar with the two main paths open after the third grade to avoid misdirection that it is not always easy to correct afterwards.<br />
<br />
<br />
Get in general and technological preparation for a Bachelor<br />
Opt for a general and technological intended primarily for students wishing to pursue their studies beyond the tray.<br />
<br />
Indeed, in three years (second, first and final), they will prepare a general or technological baccalauréat, sesame true then continue in higher education.<br />
<br />
Since the high school reform that began in September 2010 with the implementation of the new class of second (reform will continue in September 2011 with the first class and in September 2012 for the class terminnale), the first year of high school looks like a class exploration: in addition to common lessons which represent about 80% of teaching time, students must choose two courses for exploration , which as the name implies, must allow students to discover , exploring new materials generally for them, which foreshadowed the mainstream teachings of the series they will have to choose at the end of a second to the sixth grade.<br />
<br />
<br />
Among these lessons exploration at least one must be an education in economics (or PFEG SES) and the second is to choose teaching science, literature, foreign language ...<br />
<br />
It is important to mention that to follow a particular educational exploration in no way determines the access to a particular set of tray. For example, opt for SES does not involve getting in series ES, Literature and society as does L-series, and similarly do not follow these teachings can be a barrier to go to these series.<br />
<br />
All schools do not offer all the teachings of exploration and access to some may be quantitatively limited, it should therefore be well informed on the various proposals offered by various institutions Prora but also on possible selection criteria.<br />
<br />
These two lessons plus exploration is still a novelty of the reform, two hours weekly mandatory that each personalized établissemnt organizes its way either to support or to the deepening or for help in orientation. It may be interesting to learn from different high schools for how they implement this support for custom "glue" the best with the needs of the student.<br />
<br />
It is also possible to choose optional subjects (Latin, Greek, art ..) and special facilities such as the European sections, sports sections ... by institution.<br />
<br />
The second general and technology can lead to 11 sets of BA:<br />
<br />
three are general bins (ES: Economic and Social S: Science; L: literary)<br />
eight are bins technology : STG (science and technology management); STI2D (science and technology industry and sustainable development), STL (science and tecnology laboratory); ST2S (science and technology of health and social ) STAV (Science and Technology of agronomy and life); STD2A (science and technology design and applied arts); hotel and techniques of music and dance.<br />
Choose the career path after 3rd: bac pro A-Level/Higher<br />
The second option available to a student at the end of his years in college is to go to vocational education to prepare a professional baccalaureate, a BEP or CAP. As mentioned above, this alternative is for young people who, presumably, do not wish to continue graduate studies and, therefore, wish to enter more quickly into the workforce.<br />
<br />
Container "pro" is prepared by three years (second, first, professional terminal), there are 55 specialties in 19 career fields.<br />
<br />
The peculiarity of the second professional, unlike the latter generally is that it begins to prepare a specific professional tray that is selected at the end of third grade.<br />
<br />
Teaching is divided between general education and vocational courses with periods of training in the workplace for 22 weeks spread over three years.<br />
<br />
The objective of this training is to properly prepare the integration into working life but it is possible to continue his studies in BTS (Brevet de Technicien Supérieur) of the same professional field. Those who attain honors or are even allowed in law.<br />
<br />
The reform of the vocational route has resulted in the removal of a large number of BEP (Professional Studies), they have mostly been replaced by a vocational baccalaureate (three years of study instead of two in BEP, this order to expand the training, to a level tray and thus ensure a better integration into the labor market but also to allow to go beyond the tray).<br />
<br />
However, there are still some SEN, for example, the BEP "Business hotel and catering" and some agricultural SEN. They are stepping stones to further education in vocational baccalaureate in tecghnologique tray.<br />
<br />
The CPC (Certificate of Professional Aptitude) takes two years and form a specific trade. There are over 200 CAPs in industrial, agricultural, commercial, tertiary. This leads to ^ ploma priority to work as vocational training is preferred but may be supplemented by additional terms, patents or even professional baccalaureate course.<br />
<br />
Note that gateways are possible between these different configurations<br />
<br />
First to college: it is expected that in each college, particularly in relation to the librarian about the actions planned and what direction are sometimes in the sixth. Guides Onisep are distributed to students graduate or are consulted or downloaded from the site , with more specific information for each academy with a location-based search (to find all the training provided in the academy).<br />
<br />
Where to find the necessary information to any choice of direction?<br />
<br />
At open houses facilities that usually take place during the months of March and April: it provides detailed information on options, specific institutions but also to visit and meet the teachers to ask practical issues on specific lessons delivered.<br />
<br />
The IOC (Center for Information and Guidance): various publications Onisep can be consulted and platelets of different schools but above all it is possible to meet with professional guidance to discuss individual projects orientation.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-17185098324040627462011-04-13T23:08:00.001-07:002011-04-13T23:08:33.615-07:00Distance Education degree programs<div style="text-align: justify;">Students and employees can register to receive a study grant to finance a university education at a distance.<br />
<br />
The Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie, which this year celebrates 50 years, offers scholarships each year 2000 through its mobility program. The agency awards stipends to enable candidates to enroll in one of the 75 courses offered. These courses are open to levels of distances (Medicine), Bachelor and Master 1 and 2.<br />
<br />
These degree programs are offered by European universities and institutions of Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Egypt, Madagascar, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Vietnam.<br />
<br />
The university offers courses AUF<br />
The Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie has a rich catalog of degree programs, accessible to students and employees in continuing education. The courses are taught at a distance, they are followed in the home country and employees may continue working during their studies. However, it is advisable in this case, release of weekly hours and realize the extra work to investing.<br />
<br />
<br />
The four levels of study offered in the training catalog AUF<br />
The differing levels of study allows better access to training, depending on the current level of training of the candidate:<br />
<br />
University Diploma (DU) in medicine,<br />
Licence (L3)<br />
Master (M1)<br />
Master (M2).<br />
University courses covering five disciplines<br />
Without cover all topics, the choice is structured into five themes, for a total of 75 offers university courses.<br />
<br />
Law, Economics and Political Science (10),<br />
Science Society, (11)<br />
Sciences and Engineering (29),<br />
Life sciences and earth, (20)<br />
Humanities (5).<br />
Geographical location of the awarding institution<br />
The distribution of the awarding institution is:<br />
<br />
40 degrees offered by European universities,<br />
39 licenses and remote masters are offered by institutions in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Egypt, Madagascar, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia and Vietnam.<br />
Financing of university fees and educational expenses<br />
Successful candidates are awarded a stipend by the AUF, which allows them to finance:<br />
<br />
<br />
a large proportion of educational costs,<br />
the university fees.<br />
Generally, it remains a contribution to the candidate listed in the "Application form and conditions" of the proposed curriculum.<br />
<br />
Conditions for obtaining benefits of distance education funded by the AUF<br />
AUF grants a certain number of allocations for each course. The conditions attached to the application are indicated for each panel.<br />
<br />
Depending on the degree sought, access to training will be conditioned to a degree. Nevertheless, it is possible to envisage a VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience) or VAPP (Validation of professional and personal skills).<br />
<br />
Generally, the allocation of an allowance for distance learning by the AUF is intended for candidates residing in a Francophone country in the South, sometimes in the East. However, he must remain for the duration of training in this country (unless exceptional).<br />
<br />
There is no mention of the nationality of the candidate, but the place of residence.<br />
<br />
Registration procedure for the allocation of distance learning<br />
Each course has an application form and conditions. Therefore, according to them, should consider both the various offers and conditions.<br />
<br />
Dedicated website ,<br />
Access to Training Catalog by education levels or by the awarding institutions,<br />
Once considered the curriculum selected, the "Conditions and Application Form", offers the opportunity to file his candidacy.<br />
Agenda calls for nominations of the AUF for year 2011-2012<br />
The deadline for submitting applications is June 10, 2011 for courses starting in September / October 2011.<br />
The deadline is increased to 10 September 2011 for training starting in January 2012.<br />
Back on the nominations, 2010, origins of female candidates and Disparity<br />
In 2010, the AUF has received 12,614 nominations from 63 different countries for the 75 degrees reached by ODL (*) presented. The Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie welcomes this figure, the highest since 2004.<br />
<br />
As in the previous four years, they are Cameroonians and the Burkinabé who most answered. Despite a willingness to include women in the program with a priority given to female candidates (with equal scientific quality), they represent only 20%, a figure down for three years.<br />
<br />
Each year, the AUF provides the opportunity for young students, employees follow a university course to choose from a diverse catalog of courses in both subjects in grades. The modality chosen, namely ODL, enables candidates to follow their training from home, access to top universities, via the Internet.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-75261156170836466742011-04-12T23:27:00.000-07:002011-04-12T23:27:02.164-07:00Myth of perfect student<div style="text-align: justify;">The myth of the perfect student school failure and questioned how the French educational supports. Engendered by the teacher / pupil relationship?<br />
<br />
In France, the school has historically been the symbol of Republican values and culture inherited from the Enlightenment. Yet since the early twentieth century with the beginnings of compulsory schooling, school failure affects approximately 10% of students, regardless of the time and methods. School failure is stigmatized, and often, instead of blaming the education or the teacher is the student who is beckoned. However, learning is based primarily on the relationship of the student to his master.<br />
<br />
Blame it on Voltaire<br />
French pedagogy sometimes seems to want to erase the differences between individuals. Despite his borrowed glances of jealousy toward the North, true role models of academic success and personal well-being, France remains blind to the knowledge of the humanities: chronobiology, developmental psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience itself. The debate around the four-day week is a good example: we have known for decades the times of day and the rhythms of the week are most conducive to learning. But the question posed seems more for adults (organization weekends, holidays ...). So when the child is tired, demotivated or difficulty, it is easier to blame rather than the nonsense of the school system.<br />
<br />
Students will perfect that which the master would have wanted to be<br />
The population of teachers is very varied, nearly 65% of women (75% in private), mostly from the middle classes. Pierre Bourdieu is one of the first to loudly denounced the reproduction of the social hierarchy through the school. This application of homogenization is mainly through language: a way of talking (and writing) is recovered, the others are denigrated, particularly because they represent social classes devalued. More generally, there would be one good way to learn and reproduce this knowledge. But learning is an intimate operation that involves more than cognitive skills: personal history, the ability to accept other sources of learning that parents desire to give or not to the adult that he asks ...<br />
<br />
Interest of errors: parallel between phylogeny and ontogeny<br />
Adults often tell children that they have the right to be wrong, that's how we learn. This truth does not always hold true in reality where the error may be stigmatized or penalized. However, the error is central to the history of ideas. Zero is a very good example is the basic mathematical concept that has more time to emerge in the course of history (phylogeny) and one that is more complicated to understand for children (ontogeny ). However, the error of the student comes to symbolize the extent of explaining the master and it can be difficult to accept for it. Between what is said explicitly to the students and what they are implicitly asked, there is often a large margin.<br />
<br />
<br />
The didactic contract: Pride and Prejudice<br />
The didactic contract is an ongoing negotiation and implicit mutual expectations between the teacher and student. This concept has been used to study elective failure: why some students are in great difficulty in a particular subject or why some fail where the majority is success? We've all experienced "darlings" and then "heads of Turkish" attitude and demands of the master are not the same according to the students, as students do not behave identically with all their teachers. The educational relationship is above all a human relationship where communication is also based on implicit information and a dynamic unconscious. Indeed, the relationship of authority which takes place between teacher and student can be an avatar of parent / child relationship.<br />
<br />
Our dear soldiers of the Republic Pedagogical deny it enough, they can not do everything: play the role of parents, to be nurses, psychologists, sociologists and educators, in a word always be perfect. However, the plurality of master / child should be better taken into account. Lack of resources is often put forward but the training is now more than ever questioned. The quality of working conditions but it suffers especially students who pay the price: being a student is becoming more and more not to be subject.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-36799747048051376442011-04-09T22:00:00.000-07:002011-04-09T22:00:40.815-07:00Teachers Training in New Technologies<div style="text-align: justify;">What are the training opportunities for teachers? What solutions could improve their relationship with IT and ICT?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Is it necessary to force a teacher to use ICT (Information and Communication) if he does not master a minimum? Certainly not! At the time, he will not feel comfortable in his job, can not benefit optimally and will not be inclined to answer any questions from students about these technologies. A huge waste of time should also result if any problem arises, knowing that all is never perfect computer and nobody is immune to a false move or an honest mistake. The teacher must be comfortable in his own way of giving way to remain credible to its students. The solution is therefore the training of teachers in these new technologies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The training courses organized for teachers</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Proper training is essential but would quickly become useless if others do not follow training throughout the career of the teacher. New technologies develop and evolve so quickly, it is preferable that the teacher is always "page" of what the world of ICT can offer in the academic world. Just imagine that today a teacher has been trained to use Windows 3.1 ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Wallonia (Belgium), for example, there are many training courses organized, but the problem is the same as for initial training: they are still few and too little depth. Moreover, most of them are primarily in the form of a conference rather than practical training. Moreover, they are rarely required. Therefore free to teachers to enroll or not. Namely they are also often held during school holidays, which really does not motivate most of them ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is therefore clear that these continuing education, as proposed earlier today are not expected to trigger the trigger envy among the teacher, disrupting its teaching methodologies through new technologies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Autonomous or external training</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The training courses organized specifically not profitable enough, the teacher is currently brought to form itself to these technologies. If it is already accustomed to them, personal interest, he is a winner down the line. However, if this is not the case, it has an interest in training or external, is trying to get used to these technologies by revealing itself ... but of course it takes time and sometimes the money. We're back on the problems of the real motivation of the teacher in learning about these technologies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some possible solutions to address this problem with training ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">First, raise public awareness campaigns and seminars to the adoption of new technologies in language learning, showing what he can do and what it can bring to both teachers but also to students. Practical experiences should be proposed to open the eyes of teachers and show them the benefits of ICT are real.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then, propose (or impose ...) practical training so that teachers become familiar with computers, gain some confidence and test their own capabilities. Such training should be promoted as genuine aid to teaching and not as restrictive and discouraging. This is certainly the solution that has the greatest influence and fastest results.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It would also be interesting to provide teachers with free materials, online help, tutorials, ... ICT and their actual choices: impose, for example, an e-mail address where they could receive educational information and other ( class schedules, certificates, training proposals, reviews, ...). It is obvious that such information is available online only, exclusively, so they are forced to use these techniques and become familiar.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The contribution of virtual communities</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, another idea would be to foster virtual communities of teachers to exchange experiences, ideas and projects while using common tools. An example of this kind of community is seen http://www.enseignons.be/ This is a center for sharing educational resources and an online forum for teachers. It is an opportunity just waiting to grow. However, a criticism can be made: anyone can register (or not teaching), which does not necessarily motivate teachers to talk freely about their business ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you're interested, you can find additional information concerning the relationships between teachers and new technologies , as well as the role of technology in our schools .</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-59647864943799049852011-04-09T21:57:00.000-07:002011-04-09T21:57:14.251-07:00School system in Germany<div style="text-align: justify;">Classes in the morning and sports in the afternoon! This statement is a bit synthetic. What are the weaknesses of the model school on the other side of the Rhine?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is necessary to recall that Germany is a federal state composed of several states. Each Land has its own constitution and is sovereign in matters of culture, organization of police services, municipal law and of course in the field of school education.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Germany, education is administered by the Länder. The Department of Education at the national level as in France does not exist. Each region is different but still following a national guideline.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Analyze the process of teaching from the very small classes ...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Elementary education</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The primary school in Germany is provided by the "Grundschule (basic school) and is compulsory for all children from six years. Education lasts four years with a difference in Berlin and Brandenburg where it lasts six years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first mission of the elementary school is to integrate children into society and teach them how to live in community. The goal is not to put children under pressure and in this context, there are no notes during the first two years only oral assessments. Repetition is very rare to not put the child in a situation of failure from an early age.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Teachers have intensive training on pedagogy and on the psychological approach to the child. The emphasis is on new methods of work as the teaching of foreign languages or on group projects. The courses are fairly open to the outside.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lower secondary education</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The organization of the secondary system (12/13 years) is characterized by the division between the choices of students and various educational schools that are different from one Land to another.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most Länder have "Gesamtschulen" (schools of understanding). If each state has its own schools with very specific names that differ from each other. At this level, schools represent a particular phase of promotion and guidance of the educational path as an adult.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Around the age of 15 years, students entering upper secondary education. The type of school chosen depends on the skills and qualifications obtained at the end of lower secondary education.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Class hours in Germany</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In Germany, the school day focuses on a morning compact. Children eat at home after school because there is no canteen.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 1st and 2nd class (CP and CE1) are four hours per day and the 3rd and 4th grades (CE2 and CM1) have five hours.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">These courses are always delivered in the morning from Monday to Friday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The advantage of this system is that all children have their afternoon to do homework or participate in extracurricular activities like sports, arts activities ... But the problem is that parents organize activities in the afternoon, which is incompatible with working full time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The number of working women is steadily increasing and the housewife is no longer the dominant model in Germany. This mode of education would require significant resources and infrastructure, such as canteens, child care, summer camps, to accommodate children.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another problem would also arise. It would appear that the course concentrates on the half-day increase inequalities between children and small children whose parents could afford to fund educational activities in the afternoon.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Found an education system almost identical to Italy. Elementary schools provide, generally 30 hours per week spread over six days. Colleges and high schools, however, for taking classes every morning until 1:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Questioning necessary</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The German model is deeply challenged and the government's objective is to develop full-time schools "French".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The low birth rate has also led to promote the school all day. The explanation is simple: In Germany, mothers must care for children in the afternoon. Coupled with the absence of a system of preschool, these time constraints discourage women from having children. Feminists brag so long since the French education system that enables women to combine work and family.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In 2003, the government has implemented a costly program to develop the institutions operating throughout the day. Some schools do not even have a canteen!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Between 2003 and 2006, the quota of students attending school all day has increased from 9.8 to 17.6% and this rate tends to increase.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In summary, the school system must adapt to changing society to give the best to children and to train responsible adults. It is a constant challenge and a challenge for National Education.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-13963369626810320692011-04-08T22:39:00.001-07:002011-04-08T22:39:30.567-07:00Violence among students in schools<div style="text-align: justify;">A study by the Observatory on school violence showed that 11.7% of students are harassed at school. The ministry is implementing a parade.<br />
<br />
Overall, students from ages 8 to 12 feel good about their school. But who said it was a pleasure for all? 11.7% of boys and girls live in a veritable hell on the playground, to the point of having nightmares at night and get going backwards. More than one in 10 students, in fact, suffer all kinds of harassment, abuse, violence, moral, physical and even sexual, even racketeering. This is shown by the study of the International Observatory on Violence in Schools , conducted from late 2009 to end 2010 with 12,326 students in 153 schools and funded by UNICEF .<br />
<br />
Noelle, a girl died of harassment<br />
Eric Debarbieux these amazing results presented Tuesday, March 29 at a press conference. What move the Minister of National Education, Luc Chatel, who decided to create a "Scientific Council against discrimination in schools" . Chaired by François Heran, a demographer, former director of the National Institute of Demographic Studies, the Council will rely in particular on the proposals of the Centre of Violence at school.<br />
<br />
"According to the study, the phenomena of" victimization "are rather limited since almost nine in ten students (88.9%) report feeling" very well "or" fairly well "at school and more seven in ten say they are "never" abused or "very occasionally", says Agence France-Presse .<br />
<br />
"They have always existed, " heads of Turks , wrote France-Soir , a child who, without knowing why, becomes the scapegoat of a group, class. " Europe1 and cite the example of the sad little Christmas, a girl of Haitian descent who died in force harassment. First there was racial abuse, racketeering and then finally chokes in the school yard: "I told him to defend himself," says the mother of Noelle . "Well, she was punished for defending herself and when she complained to her teachers, they answered him:" do not worry, we'll see it later. " A few days before her death she had told the victim of strangulation by another child. "She had a headache. We did not know why. She ended up falling into a coma. "<br />
<br />
All kinds of harassment<br />
The first stage of the violence is psychological. A child is a little different, for example, he stutters, is a bit too closed, or too wise during class, or an original or a different culture. This is sometimes enough for him to find marginalized. "Fluffy", "nerd", "rouquemoute" names for birds are not lacking in the playground (...) writes Le Parisien . "We knew qu'enfance does not mean innocence. One could doubt that primary schools are not sanctuaries Care Bears. " Le Figaro proves accurate: "In detail, a little over 16% of children respond to a decked bad name, 25% were abused and 14% have been rejected. "<br />
<br />
The second stage, these are the blows delivered during interclass or racketeering between large and small who became his scapegoat. "For physical violence," continues Le Figaro , 17% have already been hit often or very often "tanbdis that" theft and extortion affecting less than 3% of students. "<br />
<br />
Followed attacks apparently innocuous but sexual: 20% of students confide they were the subject of voyeurism to the toilet, 14% were forced to undress and 20% forced to kiss another child. Acts whose victims are both boys and girls.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
New forms of violence<br />
Dangerous games have emerged in the schoolyard, including the headscarf, this autostrangulation expected to cause strong sensations, or those of the aerosol, salad, silence or vicious circle. Very often it is the scapegoat who are the first victims and sometimes they die, as shown in this survey of TF1 .<br />
<br />
Internet also excites the imagination of stalkers. "This phenomenon extends to new technology, says Europe1 : today at 8 years, some students settle their account with Facebook. " This confirms that the blog bigbrowser. Lemonde : "Another cause of depression (Youth) online harassment. (The agency) AP recalls the suicide of this 15 year old girl last year, harassed on Facebook. We also remember the suicide of a young American when his homosexuality was revealed on social networks.<br />
<br />
7sur7.be tells his side of the hoax which was pitiful victim a young girl on the Internet: "The friends of a teen class will create a fake profile on Facebook and masculine pose as the lover of the girl. They are going to orchestrate the fake suicide fictional boy, accusing their comrade's death (...) The girl was devastated, decides to contact the family to offer condolences and apologize, but in vain. " After several weeks of guilt, the girl learns the truth: this silly game that destroyed was organized by her best friend.<br />
<br />
School dropout, truancy, suicidal tendencies<br />
Eric Debarbieux believes it must act quickly to help child victims of such harassment, "A survey of 50 adolescents who attempted suicide showed that all had experienced harassment at school," he says. "Child psychiatrists who inherit adolescent self-esteem have devastated already sounded the alarm," wrote Le Parisien , in an open letter in January to Luc Chatel. Which mandated the same Debarbieux to suggest avenues for prevention in a report to be presented April 12 and is expected to announce measures at national conference held in early May. "<br />
<br />
"The authors discuss the consequences of repeated harassment, says his side Le Figaro : school dropout, truancy, loss of self-image, depressive tendencies and suicidaires.Une strong correlation also exists between the act of abusing his classmates during the years spent in school and that experience problems with the law as an adult. "<br />
<br />
However, one should not conclude that these cases of harassment occur more in the peripheral problems: "This is another great teaching of the study, said Eric Debarbieux: there is no more harassment schools classified as "PTA" (educational priority, the more difficulty) than in normal schools. "<br />
<br />
How to combat bullying?<br />
"If teachers are alerted and trained harassment tends to decline, confirming in an interview with AFP Jean-Pierre Bellon, co-author of Harassment and bullying among students (1). Early sensitization is necessary "because it is a phenomenon that often arises in elementary school before structuring a teenager," he adds. "<br />
<br />
On 26 January, a group composed of the particular child psychiatrist Marcel Rufo, the philosopher Edgar Morin and other intellectuals, anxious to see the development of bullying at school, sent an open letter to ministers of National Education, Health, social cohesion, but also to the Halde and the Children's Ombudsman. "We want to draw your attention to the issue of children harassed at school, abuse at the origin of the phenomena of" whipping boy "or" scapegoat.

<br />
If the high school level is becoming a burden, often helps only qualified and personalized tutoring.<br />
<br />
<b>When tuition is reasonable?</b><br />
When girls and boys are afraid of drowning in their class and do not dare to talk to the teacher about their weaknesses as they gain deeper technical note values, then it is time to think of the next school tutoring. It has a lot to be observed:<br />
<br />
The students are due to stress in a position next to the school also participate in tutoring? Is there perhaps any other commitments, such as the unloved piano lessons that could be compensatory deleted from the weekly schedule? Do the boys and girls enough distraction from learning? Exercise and fresh air are always essential, so that the brain can bring those services. The sports club should not be terminated in favor of tutoring. Of course, should the financial possibilities to be considered: Good Tuition is not usually cheap.<br />
<br />
<b>How much is tuition?</b><br />
Qualified tuition lessons cost, roughly, from 7.50 to 20 € per lesson (45 minutes). Recommended sessions are 60-90 minutes in length, based on age and stamina of the students. Often, the "quantity discounts" to be negotiated. It is important that only one class period of 45 minutes per week usually does not meet the desired purpose.<br />
<br />
Individual tuition is more expensive than private lessons in groups. In addition, private tutoring, such as students, in many cases significantly lower than tuition at the Institute. In addition, you can also save frequently when students come to the teacher back home and this is no travel time must be calculated. Students who have no problem learning in unfamiliar surroundings, should take this possibility into account.<br />
<br />
Usually it is also worthwhile to carry out any offers of the first school. Many schools offer tutoring, or at least internal homework help, which may already be a first aid. It also saves you money when you speak to students in higher grades. They are technically may not be as competent as a professor or a student with almost a university degree, but their hourly wages are usually more affordable - not to forget that easily develop empathy feelings, as students can empathize more easily with students, they put it in the same situation as the younger ones.<br />
<br />
<b>Private tuition or tutoring institute?</b><br />
Tutoring services often have a far-reaching reputation, they do plenty of advertising and are not difficult to make finding. However, one should look closely at the lessons in each institution is organized: Often the lessons take place in too large groups so that the individual student can not be entrances. Some cram schools organize study groups so that together, even students from different grades and subjects. To what extent parents and students consider this to be credible, it must be checked carefully before a possible application in such a facility.<br />
<br />
Private tutoring is usually better to just respond to individual students. In particular, students who require much attention, are better off than in the private lessons in groups. In addition, is also often the opportunity to interact with the teacher into closer contact, it is not the anonymity between parents and teachers, as it sometimes is in tutoring with frequent changes of teachers in the case.<br />
<br />
After a careful selection of a good tutor can be said in most cases: the best tuition is worth the price and creates it in the long run to teach the students with better grades and a quality of life.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-9877601864594309202011-04-06T23:18:00.000-07:002011-04-06T23:18:08.068-07:00schools on internet<div style="text-align: justify;">Spanish business schools for years have been emphasizing in international academic rankings but also are taking over the Net According to a study from CSIC, three centers of our country have been placed this year among the ten most visible in the world.<br />
<br />
We are accustomed to the IESE, ESADE Business School and repeated year after year in the header position classifications that measure academic excellence of its MBA programs. Each year there are new rankings of Anglo-Saxon literature, and even Latin America that place year after year among the top business schools in the world. Even some other management centers made in Spain, as EADA, ESIC and ESCP_Europe been placed in some of these prestigious lists. To make matters worse, the Higher Council for Scientific Research of Spain (CSIC) has spent two years developing a global comparative positioning of these centers for training in Internet and Spanish institutions to take notes become bright. In 2009, three have been placed among the top ten business schools portals around the world with greater visibility on the Web<br />
<br />
IE Business School has placed its web in the latest biannual report of CSIC as the seventh best positioned in the world. The ranking is led by Isidro Aguillo, is divided into four sections: size, visibility, file and scholar. The Business School is also located among the ten best in the world perhaps the most representative category positioning on the visibility, which measures the number of references to the school website on other pages, ie external links non-payment, also repeated successes IE Business School in the size category, or whatever it is, the number of pages recovered from the four other largest Network: Google, Yahoo, Live Search and Exalead.<br />
<br />
"It is virtually a referendum highlights Aguillo Isidro, the coordinator of the CSIC-rating in a survey because it polls to use tens or hundreds of people. But in this classification are measured, for example, external links to other web pages make schools that are hundreds of thousands. So their results are very representative. " Although not measured only the number of links, but also the quality of the website that does this reference, its popularity, its age.<br />
IESE is also situated in January from 20 top-ranked portals and July has remained in 24th place and Esade also appears among the 40 best in the world.<br />
<br />
But in the classification of the CSIC have managed to position, in addition, some schools more modest than its idiosyncrasies rarely have the opportunity to excel in traditional academic comparative Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Forbes, Business Week and American Economy .<br />
<br />
Pleasant surprises<br />
The portal of the Center for Financial Studies (CEF) appeared in January this year as the business school website with better visibility of the world, ahead of the most mythical of the United States, including Harvard, Stanford or MIT, in the Update last July a leading retained sixth place, behind only three North American centers, one Dutch and one Polish.<br />
<br />
In the same vein, the European Business School is one of the centers are not common in international academic rankings, he has done a successful job on the Web The institution, born in Madrid and Salamanca, and then opened up new campus in Oviedo , Valladolid, Murcia and Bolivia, was in the first classification of the CSIC of this year as the tenth site with better visibility in the world.<br />
<br />
The CSIC is proposed in this paper enhance the quality content produced in Spain are accessible on the Web "Our goal is to have content specifically Spanish and Spanish on the Internet, because these institutions offer a reliable and a mark of prestige and quality. The list encourages those who have not worked yet this area because they perceive that losing position against its competitors. This is a gun put them in the chest, pull out their shameful to improve, "says Aguillo.<br />
<br />
<b>Strategic</b><br />
The list of Spanish research center is not intended as a comparative measure academic quality of training provided by different business schools. But what seems clear, and agree that the heads of business schools themselves, is that today it is essential to have good positioning on the Internet, which helps attract more and better students and more diverse places. It may be a first point of contact to attract teachers, business partners, future employees and other academic institutions that are importing the successful Spanish model. "If you have a good web political candidates can be questioned whether the school is as good as it looks, why not watch your online presence. This should be one aspect of their strategy, not something specifically different, but together with other school policies, "says the author of the report.<br />
<br />
<b>The latest and most innovative 'ranking'</b><br />
El Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) develops a world ranking of universities, research centers, hospitals and business schools with better positioning on the Internet. The latter list, the top training centers, has been updated four times over two years and will be published biannually. The methodology of work, which was renewed this year, measured, evaluated and scored four issues: size, visibility, file and 'scholar'. The first two are most important for positioning in the network size is the number of pages indexed by search engines, the second the number of references to other web portals making each (hyperlinks or 'links' interests).</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-12803951023181478982011-03-25T00:03:00.000-07:002011-03-25T00:03:31.758-07:00Virtual Education<div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Virtual education: Is it possible?</b><br />
<br />
Are common questions such as virtual education is possible?, Can learn a science, art or craft by internet, is it true the title?<br />
<br />
All these questions have something in common: their answer is clearly yes. But why?<br />
<br />
Define education. According to the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia is "the process by which multi-transmit knowledge, values, customs and ways of acting."<br />
<br />
In making this definition we find that the transmission of knowledge, values, customs, and ways of acting can be transmitted in a manner both classroom and virtual. Surely, then from this point of view, education can not only be one way.<br />
<br />
Consider now the actors. In the classroom education is relying primarily on three parties: the teacher transmitting knowledge, the student who receives it and the transmission medium. These, too, are present in virtual education, but this is where the main differences begin to emerge is that in virtual environments can not speak of the traditional teacher and student.<br />
<br />
In virtual education, the teacher's role should be reconsidered. The Northern Catholic University Foundation, the first virtual educational institution in Colombia, defines a teacher as a facilitator, as a companion of the process of the student, who in turn must transform the way they learn to become a research-oriented be and self-taught, who is accompanied by his guide (Facilitator) on the subject under study.<br />
<br />
Similarly, differences in the means by which the student receives knowledge. Education classroom, the teacher interacts with students in vivo, by explaining a particular topic and then continuing with a series of questions to demonstrate understanding of a subject. Da instantly share very few students, while the virtuality is given the explanation but left the approaches to a longer time period, allowing the student to think much more about themselves and better prepare its response.<br />
<br />
This gives the possibility to involve all students in a time period determinado.Es clear, then, that differences exist, but so is that both the face and virtual education are valid means for acquiring knowledge.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-91420860340393039192011-03-14T02:47:00.000-07:002011-03-14T02:47:14.325-07:00Pros Cons of Online Education<div style="text-align: justify;">The Internet has provided an incredible opportunity for education easy through online programs, but not a real alternative to the traditional academic environment. <br />
<br />
There is growing interest in the field of online education, as it has some obvious advantages, but also has some serious disadvantages, which are usually ignored. In fact, online education is an opportunity for some people who have some limitations, but generally can not replace traditional education, in all circumstances. <br />
<br />
<b>The advantages of <a href="http://allonlineeducation.blogspot.com/">online education</a> </b><br />
Flexibility: The first interesting feature of online education is its flexibility. "And very ideal for workers who have limited time for study, and you can easily manage your program. <br />
<br />
<b>Cost:</b> With the cost of education is an important issue for most students. Thus, low-cost training online is a great advantage over traditional training. ( <a href="http://allonlineeducation.blogspot.com/2011/01/debate-on-universities-act.html">Debate on Universities act </a>)<br />
<br />
<b>Accessibility: </b>online training is, in fact, a part of globalization, and offers educational opportunities without geographic boundaries and distance. This represents a real opportunity for everyone to participate in online classes from anywhere in the world. This is a golden opportunity for students from developing countries wishing to study in universities in developed countries. <br />
<br />
<b>The disadvantages of online education </b><br />
<b>Cost:</b> Yes, even if the cost is considered as an advantage to online training, is also a disadvantage for the following reasons: <br />
<br />
Most students get a classical education system support the various funds from different sources (eg, scholarships, university, government, etc), but there are only a few sources of online students. <br />
A significant portion of the costs of education are related to the classical student life (housing, for example) and online students can pay some extra charges (which are not part of the study or daily life), and high-speed Internet speed, software, postage, etc. <br />
<br />
<b>Campus Life:</b> Another objective of higher education is to live in an academic environment, and this helps students to experience new life in polite society (and education dedicated to the study.) In fact, students do not participate in technique classes, but also actively participate in social activities in the community. Even from the technical point of view of education, informal discussions outside the classroom contribute significantly to improving their ability to solve problems. ( <a href="http://allonlineeducation.blogspot.com/2011/01/online-education-guide.html">Online Education Guide</a> )<br />
<br />
<b>Social Issues: </b>By online education, people need to spend much time on the computer and have less to do with the company (not only academic society, but also the public company). <br />
<br />
<b>Controversial issues in an online degree </b><br />
There are also some controversial opinions about online education. For example, accreditation of academic online degree is an important issue in the subject, and indeed the main obstacle to the development of online education. Contrary to common belief that accreditation is an ongoing problem related to the nature of online education, many problems are due to the fact that online universities are very young. Several older universities have launched the Online Campus can offer according to their accreditation as traditional degrees. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, the implementation of an online campus is not difficult and expensive: therefore, many online universities without qualified education systems were established in recent years. In addition, some of them, this is a type of business to make money and not for purposes of education. The existence of examples of this type had a bad reputation in the public sector (as some employers do not accept online degrees.) <br />
<br />
The main objective of this paper is to stress that online education is not to replace the classical education, in all circumstances, as traditional universities have some essential services that can not fail in the areas of education. Moreover, some serious limitations of online learning, can not be used for all disciplines. <br />
<br />
Ideally, online education is an opportunity for those who need that service, especially to get a degree. If someone wants to learn a discipline or to enjoy all aspects of education, there is an appropriate way. When someone is working, do not have enough time to attend traditional classes, and the need for a degree with a general knowledge of the regulation, then online education can be a perfect solution.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-51850914567668350402011-01-11T23:21:00.000-08:002011-01-11T23:21:30.238-08:00Debate on the Universities Act<div style="text-align: justify;">At its first ordinary session of the year, the 98 members of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, 65 of the Bureau of Democratic Unity and 2 of the Homeland for All now live in Parliament agreed on something.<br />
<br />
All legislators agreed yesterday to lift the sanction of the Law on Higher Education (LEU), the same that was approved by the National Assembly early last Dec. 23 and subsequently was vetoed by the president, Hugo Chavez.<br />
<br />
Before taking this decision unanimously, the secretary of the AN, Ivan Zerpa, read the statement sent by Chavez which objected to the rule. There, the President stated that, as drafted, the LEU is inapplicable "and emphasized that the development of this legal tool requires" more consultation and popular participation. "<br />
<br />
Heard the opinion of the Head of State, Deputy Hector Navarro (PSUV-Miranda) began the debate by ensuring that the presidential veto of the LEU shows that the AN is independent of the National Executive.<br />
<br />
Highlighting the abuses suffered by the universities in the past, Navarro stressed that now more than 2 million Venezuelans in higher education.<br />
<br />
For the opposition, Leomagno Flores (AD-Tachira) held the failure to enact the text. "This law was unconstitutional, sought to wrest autonomy," complained Flores, who pleaded for "a university open to all currents of thought." The representative of the MUD announced that support the bill sponsored by Assembly University of Education, which is backed by over 40 thousand signatures.<br />
<br />
Luis Acuna (PSUV-Sucre) closed the discussion stating what are the points that Chavez is not ready to review. "We will not waver in admission to universities without restrictions and the possibility that the entire university community is entitled to elect the authorities," he said Acuna, who added: "We want people to participate in the formation of his talent human. " That said, it is again opened the debate.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4545857589543461765.post-44685731783715698322011-01-04T22:40:00.000-08:002011-01-04T22:40:56.016-08:00Online Education Guide<div style="text-align: justify;">Online Education means the education in which scholars, teachers and students participate remotely via computer networks, making intensive use of facilities that provide Internet and information and communication technologies, thereby achieving highly interactive learning environment, anytime and from anywhere.<br />
<br />
Interactive distance education is based on the concept of e-learning, which is defined as: "a delivery system for distance learning, supported by the Information and Communication Technologies (technologies, telecommunication networks, videoconferencing, digital TV, materials multimedia), which combines various teaching materials, classical training (classroom or self-study), practices, contacts (real-time, videoconferencing or chat) and delayed contacts (guardians, discussion forums, email) "<br />
<br />
<b>What do we mean by educational virtual space?</b><br />
Virtual Education Space is an environment that does not physically exist, it is a heritage site also facilitate the sharing of information, related to a particular area of knowledge, allows remote interaction between users interconnected via a computer network.<br />
<br />
It is a meeting place that allows students (learners) and teachers (facilitators) to interact with the aim of achieving a common instructional goal without the constraints of space or time.<br />
<br />
It is a system where you perform the activities involved in the teaching-learning process.<br />
<br />
<br />
An educational virtual space can be used<br />
<br />
<b>As Information Distribution System</b> In this case the virtual space is used as a complement to the classroom to enrich them with different information materials (notes, pictures, articles, papers), which can be accessed by students anywhere, allowing you to have to update them.<br />
<br />
<b>As System Training</b> in this case the medium or virtual environment takes the central role of teaching-learning process as it is in itself where it concentrates and develops the whole process.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Program design and development of interactive distance learning in the ULA:</b><br />
<br />
The design and development of the courses offered in the form of interactive distance learning in the ULA, are modeled Montilva, Barrios and Sandia (2002). This model is based on Software Engineering and Object Oriented model of Instructional Systems Design (ISD).<br />
This model considers that any training course based on virtual spaces should consider the following aspects:<br />
<br />
<b> a. - Appearance Teaching:</b><br />
The space is understood as an instructional medium, which allows the process is done teaching and learning. You must set educational standards to follow that will determine the strategies and activities to be implemented through instructional Web site.<br />
<br />
The space also must be understood as a communication medium that supports different types and modes of interaction.<br />
<br />
<b> b. - Technological Aspect:</b><br />
From this aspect, the space is understood as a collection of interconnected Web pages stored on a server, which can be accessed from any computer connected to the Internet.<br />
<br />
<b> c. - Functional aspects:</b><br />
This issue focuses on the operability and functionality of virtual education. The site should allow a number of tasks of the course developers, facilitators, and students.<br />
<br />
<b>d. - Structural appearance:</b><br />
This issue focuses on the major components of virtual space educational, instructional Web site. It consists of:<br />
<br />
1.- The platform or operating tools of the course.<br />
2.- The plan of the course (study guide) by which the student is guided along the field and get detailed instructions on the contents to be studied, the activities undertaken with their respective resources, and self-assessments need perform to accomplish its initial goal of learning.<br />
3.- A series of interactive tools.<br />
<br />
<b>Features of the online training</b><br />
<br />
<b> Interactive </b>the student takes an active role in relation to the pace and level of work. Interact with content, the facilitator, and other users.<br />
<b>Multimedia</b> Incorporates text, still images, animations, sound.<br />
<b>Open</b> Allows updating content and activities permanently.<br />
<b>Accessible </b>There are no geographical limitations. Potential uses of the Internet.<br />
<b>Synchronous and Asynchronous</b>, Allows students to participate in tasks or activities at the same time wherever they are, real time (synchronous) or at the particular time of each (asynchronous).<br />
<b>Online Resources</b> (on-line)Allows access to any number and variety of resources and teaching materials on the net.<br />
<b>Distributed</b> Allows the use of resources scattered in different Internet servers, have instructors, tutors located in another geographic region.<br />
<b>Collaborative</b>, Collaboration and teamwork is part of the training techniques. Horizontal communication among students.<br />
<b>Student tracking </b>The training plan based on tasks that students must make and forward in time and manner prescribed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b> Characteristics of online students</b><br />
<br />
1 .- Highly motivated<br />
2 .- With great organizational skills and time management<br />
3 .- Willing to work and independent study<br />
4 .- With the possibility of dedication to the study than in a traditional classroom course<br />
5 .- basic domain tools using information and communication technologies (email, forums, chat, web browsing and search, etc.)</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
