using tecniology in a class

The use of the technology in the classes is a way in the one that we remain communicated the whole day and if there are requested we it is possible to find us easily in case of the cellular one, in that of the computer it(he,she) does not allow to digitize our ideas works etc.
In certain point it(he) is bad(wrong) for that we have played the role ourselves so dependent on the technology through that nowadays we cannot live without her(it) since we believe that it(she) is very necessary.
I think that the use of the technology is not bad(wrong) but also it(she) must be measured without revasar border.

The use of technology in the classroom

The use of technology in the classroom
Advantages:
In my opinion, I believe that the use of technology in the classroom is of great advantage for the learning of students of any level of schooling, from kindergarten through higher education, also how to learn from students is more expeditiously and specifically, only to do math is helpful to make computer and see how they will be breaking down each of the algebraic operations, and not only that, but also in the case of geometrical figures, can be three-dimensional display for greater understanding of angles, corners, slopes and all that the teacher wants them to teach their students.

Disadvantages
The downside of technology, according to me, is that every time we have become useless, and instead of exercising our minds are only stunting, school use of scientific calculators saves us time, but really do not know how performing the procedure, and with just pressing a few buttons to get results immediately. Another drawback I find is that with the internet, and do not read books, now instead of doing research in libraries with real books, virtual libraries visited only by just typing a few characters give us what we want and do not read well.

Archaeological discoveries in mexico

In Mexico 38,102 archaeological sites(places) have revealed themselves along his(her,your) territory, of which, 175 are opened the public. In these places full of magic, you will be able to discover the secrets that enclose the constructions of former cultures as the mexica, the maya or the teotihuacana.
Mexico is a rich territory in archaeological vestiges. Until July, 2006, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) had registered a total of 38,102 sites(places) where they have found archaeological testimonies of the ancient cultures of Mexico, which include from big urban centers, where temples and monumental pyramids were built as those of Teotihuacan, in the State of Mexico; Fence, in Chiapas; Chichén Itzá and Uxmal, in Yucatan; The Tajín, in Veracruz, and Monte Albán, in Oaxaca, That enclosed have been declared as Heritage(Holdings) of the Humanity; up to simple sets habitacionales as those of Paquimé, in Chihuahua's condition(state) or the cave paintings of the Sierra of San Francisco, in Low California South; and surprising fossil remains of prehistoric animals, as which they have found in Corner Colorado, Coahuila.
very year, the specialists announce new archaeological discoveries, since in the whole national territory former pre-Hispanic accessions are covered by the thickness of the jungles, by mounds of land accumulated thanks to the erosion or buried under the urban zones as(like) in case of the former capital of the kingdom mexica, Tenochtitlan's city, which temples and buildings are buried under the streets of the Historical Center of the modern Mexico City.

Conversation!

This is a little conversation between Karen and me, Grecia, pay atention!

Legalization of Marihuana

I think that the legalization of marihuana is a very sensitive issue and should think very well.

Advantage:

-It could reduce drug trafficking.

-Would be one of the most profitable businesses in Mexico, because when something legal and more access to it, would cease to be so expensive. And diminish the power and wealth of the traffickers who ultimately are the ones who control the economy in our country.

Disadvantages:

-Maybe increase the consumption and the number of consumers.

-The marihuana would be closer to all of us and it would cause irreversible damage.

From my very personal point of view, I really believe that everything we do, think, or enjoyed, has to do with our education and values that we teach from our family, so long as we live in damaged environments, violence, insecurity and others, no matter whether the drugs are legal or not, it will remain many children, youths and adults addicted to them.

The History of Facebook

The creator of Facebook is Mark Zuckerberg, a student at Harvard University. The company is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.

The idea of creating a Web-based community where people share his tastes and feelings is not new. And David Bohnett, founder of GeoCities, had hatched in the late 1980s. Geocities was successful in 1990 in 1998 was the third most viewed site on the Web, but failed to consolidate after it was acquired by Yahoo!.

Facebook open competition for space between successful companies like Google and MySpace, so it is facing major challenges to grow and develop. One strategy has been to open Zuckerberg Facebook platform to other developers.

Facebook's strength lies in the social network of 90 million users have created, connections based on real people. It has now launched Facebook in Spanish, extending not only to persons of a specific social class, but is covering a range social. Almost anyone with basic computer skills can access this world of virtual communities.

ACTIVITY:

Who is the creator of Facebook?

How does the idea for Fb?

Is this social network the first one in the cyber world?

Who can access Facebook?

The Wonderful "Alice in wonderland"

Directed by Tim Burton

Written by Linda Woolverton(screenplay)and Lewis Carroll(books)

Cast:Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Anne Hathaway.

This movie, with the dinamic duo Burton-Deep and a increible story, that is the result of a mixture of two books: 'Alice in Wonderland' (1865) and 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There' (1871). Both novels written by Lewis Carroll is the best animation movie that I've seen in recent times.

And here I have some reason to not stop watching the movie:

The dark passions of Lewis Carrol: With this new film will have a new opportunity to scrutinize the character of Alice. Possibly, and is part of the legend surrounding the life of the author, Lewis Carroll (pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) left clues about his relationship with Alice Liddell. This legend is related to the photographs that Lewis Carroll and Alice did to other girls. It is said that Lewis Carroll wrote the story for Alice Liddell.

The story: The plot is very engaging. Full of nuances and hidden messages. Lewis Carroll was a mathematician so 'Alice in Worderland' contains numerous references to mathematics. For example, separation of the Cheshire Cat smile during a conversation with Alice refers to the separation of the physical reality of mathematical concepts.

The visual strength of the films of Tim Burton: If anything have the films of Tim Burton is the originality of his pictures, very typical. Sinister atmosphere (Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas) or style "theme park" (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).

The BSO. The music for the film, composed by Danny Elfman, is another attraction. In the soundtrack to participate Franz Ferdinand, Avril Lavigne, among others.

And of course nobody can be lost Jhonny Deep in one more film!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Development
Joe Roth was the developer of Alice in Wonderland in April 2007 in Walt Disney Pictures as a writer Linda Woolverton and collaboration, among others, Justin Pollard (Visual Artefact) [4] as a technical advisor, literary and characters. That November, Burton signed with Disney to direct two films in Disney Digital 3-D, which included Alice in Wonderland and its new version of Frankenweenie. He explained "the goal is to try to make a movie where you can get attractive Dela alguana psychology, but also keep the classic nature of Alice." In previous versions, Burton said, "It's always a crazy girl wanders from one character to another, and never really felt any emotional connection." His goal with this new film is to give the story "under any antecedent emotional" and "to try to make Alice a story instead of a series of events." Burton focused on the poem Jabberwocky as part of its structure. Burton also stated that he does not see the version, either as a sequel to any existing or Alicia film as a "re-imagined."

Filming
This film was originally scheduled to be released in 2009, but was postponed until March 5, 2010. Principal photography is scheduled for May 2008 but did not begin until September and ended three months later. Scenes that take place in the Victorian era were filmed at Torpoint and Plymouth from 1 September to 14 October. 250 local extras were chosen at the beginning of August. Locations included Antony House in Torpoint, Cornwall Charlestown, and The Barbican. Filming began in early October, Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California. Filming of the portion of the insertion of the chroma, which formed 90% of the film was made in just forty days. Many of the cast and staff felt nauseous after having filmed many hours surrounded by green crystal lavender Burton installed on their glasses offset the effect.
Sony Pictures Imageworks designed the special effects sequences. Burton felt it was appropriate third dimension to the mood of the story. Burton and Zanuck chose to shoot the film with conventional cameras and then convert the 3-D footage during post-production; Zanuch explained that the 3-D cameras were very expensive and "rude" to be used, and felt that there was no difference made between developed and scenes footage shot in that format. (The director James Cameron, who launched his film Avatar in 3-D, Burton criticized the choice of saying "makes no sense to shoot in 2-D and then made a 3-D.") Filming also took place at Culver Studios .

A Call Between Friends

Hiii now I'm writing with my friend Mony this is a conversation when we met. I was in London and she was in France she took an English course for a month and she stayed in my house listen the conversation please.

Directed and produced by
Tim Burton

Music
Danny Elfman

Distribution
Mia Wasikowska
Johnny Depp
Helena Bonham Carter
Anne Hathaway
Christopher Lee
Alan Rickman
Stephen Fry
Michael Sheen
Matt Lucas
Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy movie with a budget of $ 200,000,000 dollars and with a major production house as is Walt Disney Pictures, has managed to capture the interest of large and small, making use of excellent special effects has made the release of this film surpassed many expectations.
The story is original of Lewis Carroll, who called his books "The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There."
In the story Alice is 19, attends a party in a Victorian mansion, where he lived as a child, that's where he discovers he is about to receive a marriage proposal. During the party observes a white rabbit, escapes and follows the white rabbit into a hole that goes down under a tree falls in the country Alice in Wonderland, a place I visited 10 years ago but can’t remember which nothing. The creatures that live there will say she is the only one who can kill the Jabberwocky, a dragon controlled by the Red Queen.
The Wonderland was a peaceful kingdom until the Red Queen overthrew his sister, the White Queen. Everyone hopes that will help Alicia, and AASI same, they will try to remember her first visit to the country.
The message of the movie is very nice, shows the value of friendship and on her period, never stop believing that the things you want can come true, for example, when Alice is afraid to face the Jabberwocky, and that's when you decide to believe in it and that really can do it.

It's definitely a movie you should go see.

The first Artificial Satellite: Sputnik 1


The First Artificial Satellite: Sputnik 1

48 years ago, the first artificial satellite was launched, and named it "Sputnik 1".
Launched by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, 48 years ago, this satellite was the first of humanity.

The Sputnik 1 had an approximate mass of 83 kg, had two radio transmitters (20.007 and 40.002 MHz), and orbited the Earth at a distance of 938 km at apogee and 214 km at its perigee. The analysis of radio signals have been used to obtain information on the density of electrons in the ionosphere. The internal temperature and pressure were encoded in the duration of the emitted radio beeps, indicating that the satellite had not been punctured by a meteorite.

Sputnik 1 was launched with the launch vehicle R-7 and was incinerated during re-entry on January 3, 1958.

After several unsuccessful attempts to put a satellite in orbit around the Earth, Sputnik 1 was the first to reach its orbital slot. Was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Tyuratam (370 km southwest of the town of Baikonur) in Kazakhstan, formerly part of the Soviet Union.

Sputnik 1 was launched with the launch vehicle R-7 and was incinerated during re-entry on January 3, 1958.

After several unsuccessful attempts to put a satellite in orbit around the Earth, Sputnik 1 was the first to reach its orbital slot. Was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Tyuratam (370 km southwest of the town of Baikonur) in Kazakhstan, formerly part of the Soviet Union.

The word "Sputnik" in Russian means "companion", "comrade" ("satellite" in astronautics). The full official results, however as, "Artificial Earth Satellite" (ISZ in Russian).

Sputnik 1 was the first in a series of four satellites that were part of the Sputnik program in the former Soviet Union and was planned as a contribution to the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958), established by United Nations Organization. Three of these satellites (Sputnik 1 Sputnik 2 Sputnik 3) reached orbit.

The actual sequence of decision making with respect to the shape of Sputnik 1 was convoluted. Academic Keldysh initially devised a half ton satellite into a cone shape, with the ability to do many physical measurements in space, but when the Soviets read that the American project was designed Vanguard two satellites, one small to see if soon they could put something in orbit, the Soviets decided to do the same, creating what is translated as "The simplest satellite" which was one centimeter in diameter and was rather heavier than the "true" Vanguard.

The Sputnik 1 provided the first opportunity to detect meteorites, although none was detected. A loss of pressure inside due to penetration of the outer surface would have been reflected in the temperature data.

The transmitters operated for three weeks, until the failed chemical batteries on board. The satellite was monitored with great interest throughout the world. The satellite's orbit was observed later inactive optimally, to fall 92 days after launch (January 3, 1958), having completed 1,400 orbits of the Earth, accumulating a travel distance of approximately 70 million kilometers.

The apogee of the orbit declined from 947 km after launch to 600 km on 9 December.

Replica of Sputnik 1 will be seen in museums in Russia or in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian National Museum of Air and Space) in Washington DC.

In 2003, a reserve unit of Sputnik 1 called "model PS-1" was sold on eBay (without the radio, which was drawn during the 60 to be classified as military equipment). He had been on display at a science institute near Kiev. It is estimated that were constructed from four to twenty models testing purposes.

A model of Sputnik 1 was given as a gift to the United Nations and now decorates the lobby of its headquarters in New York, and will be there for much longer.


Activity:
Answer the following questions using passive voice

Who threw the first artificial satellite?
It was launched by the Soviet Union

What could make the Sputnik 1?
Meteorites had been detected but not located Built in lifetime.

What have they done with the replica of Sputnik 1 now?
In recent years have shown replicas of Sputnik in Russia and one in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, but the radios had been removed because they are considered military equipment.

10 reasons you mustn't miss Alice in Wonderland.


By: Sandra Franco.
Have you watch Alice in Wonderland? Not yet? Well, these are 10 reasons you must go to the cinema and watch it.
1.- First, and the most important this is a film directed by Tim Burton who have directed another wonderfull films like Edward's Sicssorshands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, etc.

2.- The special effects, you can watch Alice in 3D thanks to the especial technique with 3D cameras and always with green screen, they even didn't like the cameras because they are too clumsy.

3.- The story is based in the Lewis Carrol's novel Alice is 19 years she get a propose of marrige, when she realize what is happenning she run away following a white rabbit then she falls in a hole, (taht was an eternal jorney for me). she thinks everything it's a dream and she met Mallymkun, Tweedledum and Tweedledee and the white rabbit after she shrink and grow up because a potion; then she is hurt by the Cheshire Cat then she met all the characters including Tarrant the Mad Hatter, they explain evrything about the red queen and the famous Frabjous Day and the Alice's mission , kill the Jabberwocky, they think that she wasn't the real Alice.

4.- The emotional end when Alice face the Jabberwocky and the cuestion is Will Alice stay at wonderland or she will acept her future husband?

5.- The wardrobe for Alice it's amazing! since a traditional blue dress, for a coctel passing for a vaporous red dress till an armor.

6.- Johnny Deep's make up and of course all the character Depp and Burton decided that the Mad Hatter's clothes, skin, hair, personality and accent would change throughout the film to reflect his emotions.

7.- The characters, this film has got great hollywood stars like the marvelous Johnny Deep as Mad Hatter, Helena Boham Carter who has appeared in Harry Potter and Sweeney Todd she plays The red queen; Anne Hathaway famous for The Princess's Dairies and The Devil Wears Prada this time she plays the white queen; and the new one Mia Wasikowska.

8.- The voices of Alan Rickman, Michael Sheen, Christopher Lee and Matt Lucas in thier characters "Absolem", "The white rabbit", "The Jabberwocky" and "The little spheres" "Tweedledum and Tweedledee".

9.- The Marketing On June 22, 2009, the first pictures of the film were released, showing Depp as the Mad Hatter, Hathaway as the White Queen, Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. A new image of Alice was also released. In July, new photos emerged of Alice holding a white rabbit, the Mad Hatter with a hare, the Red Queen holding a pig, and the White Queen with a mouse.

10.- The "Futterwacken", find what's that.

The invention of computer

Read the story of The invention of computer and underline the sentences an passive form.

There is not just one inventor of the computer, as the ideas of many scientists and engineers led to its invention. These ideas were developed in the 1930s and 1940s, mostly independently of each other, in Germany, Great Britain and the USA, and were turned into working machines.

In Germany, Konrad Zuse hit upon the idea of building a program-controlled calculating machine when he had to deal with extensive calculations in statics. In 1935, he began to design a program-controlled calculating machine in his parents' home in Berlin. It was based on the binary system and used punched tape for the program input. The Z1, which was built between 1936 and 1938, was a purely mechanical machine which was not fully operational. In 1940, Zuse began to build a successor to the Z1 based on relay technology. In May 1941, he finished the Z3 - worldwide the first freely programmable program-controlled automatic calculator that was operational.

Several similar developments were in progress in the USA at the same time. In 1939, IBM started to build a program-controlled relay calculator on the basis of a concept that Howard H. Aiken had put forward in 1937. This machine - the IBM Automatic Sequence Controlled Calculator (Mark I) - was used on production work from 1944.

However, it was not Aiken's and Stibitz's relay calculators that were decisive for the development of the universal computer but the ENIAC, which was developed at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Extensive ballistic computations were carried out there for the U.S. Army during World War II with the aid of a copy of the analog Differential Analyzer, which had been designed by Vannevar Bush, and more than a hundred women working on mechanical desk calculators. Nevertheless, capacity was barely sufficient to compute the artillery firing tables that were needed. In August 1942, John W. Mauchly, a physicist, presented a memo at the Moore School for a vacuumtube computer that was conceived as a digital version of the Differential Analyzer.

Mauchly had adopted John Vincent Atanasoff's idea for an electronic computer. Atanasoff had developed the ABC special-purpose computer at the Iowa State College (now Iowa State University) to solve systems of linear equations. Mauchly had viewed the ABC in June 1940. John Presper Eckert, a young electronic engineer at the Moore School, was responsible for the brilliant engineering of the new ENIAC. The work began on 31 May 1943 with funding from the U.S. Army. In February 1946, successful program runs were demonstrated.

At almost the same time, the Model I to Model VI relay calculators were built at Bell Laboratories in New York following a suggestion by George R. Stibitz.
John von Neumann, an influential mathematician, turned his attention to the ENIAC in the summer of 1944. While this computer was being built, von Neumann and the ENIAC team drew up a plan for a successor to the ENIAC. The biggest problem with the ENIAC was that its memory was too small. Eckert suggested a mercury delay-line memory which would increase memory capacity by a factor of 100 compared with the electronic memory used in the ENIAC.

An equally big problem was programming the ENIAC, which could take hours or even days.

In meetings with von Neumann, the idea of a stored-program, universal machine evolved. Memory was to be used to store the program in addition to data. This would enable the machine to execute conditional branches and change the flow of the program. The concept of a computer in the modern sense of the word was born.

In spring 1944, von Neumann wrote his "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC" (Electronic Discrete Variable Computer) which described the stored-program, universal computer. The logical structure that was presented in this draft report is now referred to as the von Neumann architecture. This EDVAC report was originally intended for internal use only but it became the "bible" for computer pioneers throughout the world in the 1940s and 1950s.

The first two computers featuring the von Neumann architecture were not built in America but in Great Britain. On 21 June 1948, Frederic C. Williams of the University of Manchester managed to run the prototype of the Manchester Mark I, and thus proved it was possible to build a stored-program, universal computer. The first really functional von Neumann computer was built by Maurice Wilkes at Cambridge University. This machine called EDSAC first ran a program on 6 May 1949 computing a table of square numbers.

advantages and disadvantages using mobile phone while driving

The mobile phone is a invention that change the world.
Them advantages of mobile phone is very useful, you can are announcement in any places, for example in your car, you can send text message while driving your car, you can put the loudspeaker for that all listen and you have not leave of drive.

Using mobile phone while driving also has some disadvantages an principal cause of them motor accident is tha people using mobile phone when driving, when you reply your phone you can distract and crash or something worsw you can to knock a person.

I never using mobile phone while driving for a reason very very important for me I isn´t drive. Ups. jajaja.
