Tips for learning English words

To learn language as a second language, you have to memorize a minimum number of words. It is estimated that to begin speak English, needs a minimum of 500 words.



In general, new to memorize words, we use repetition. Yo always say that's the key learning: repetition. However, he found me much time with people who have much problems remembering.

GeoGebra


GeoGebra is a free interactive mathematical software for education in colleges and universities. Its creator Markus Hohenwarter, the project began in 2001 at the University of Salzburg and continues in the Atlantic University, Florida.

GeoGebra is written in Java and therefore available on multiple platforms.
It is basically a "geometric processor"and a "processor algebraic", ie a collection of mathematical software that brings interactive geometry, algebra and calculus, and therefore can be used also in physics, business projections, estimates and strategic decision other disciplines.

His closest category is "dynamic geometry software" [English: DAS].

GeoGebra constructions can be made from points, lines, rays, segments, vectors, tapered ... etc. - by direct use of tools operated with the mouse or the entry of commands into the input bar with the keypad or by selecting from the list available -. All layout is modifiable in a dynamic way: ie if an object B depends on another A.

GeoGebra allows dynamic tracing geometric constructions of all kinds as well as graphing, algebraic treatment and calculation of real functions of real variable, their derivatives, integrals, etc.

Viva la vida!!

Yo solía gobernar el mundo
los mares se alzaban cuando yo lo ordenaba
ahora en la mañana yo barro solo
barro las calles que solía poseer.

Yo solía tirar el dado
sentir el miedo en los ojos de mi enemigo
escuchaba como la gente cantaba:
"ahora el viejo rey está muerto, ¡larga vida al rey!".

Un minuto yo tenía la llave
al siguiente las paredes se cerraban en mí
y descubrí que mis castillos estaban construidos
sobre pilares de sal y pilares de arena.

Escucho las campanas de Jerusalén sonando
los coros del calvario romano están cantando
son mi espejo, mi espada y mi escudo
mis misioneros en un campo extranjero
por alguna razón que no puedo explicar
una vez que sabes que nunca hubo una palabra honesta
así era cuando yo gobernaba el mundo.

Fue el viento loco y salvaje
que tiró las puertas para dejarme entrar
ventanas rotas y el sonido de tambores
la gente no podía creer en lo que me convertí.

Los revolucionarios esperan
mi cabeza en charola de plata
solo una marioneta en una cuerda solitaria
oh ¿quién podría querer ser rey?

Escucho las campanas de Jerusalén sonando
los coros del calvario romano están cantando
son mi espejo, mi espada y mi escudo
mis misioneros en un campo extranjero
por alguna razón que no puedo explicar
yo se que San Pedro dirá mi nombre
nunca hubo una palabra honesta
pero así era cuando yo gobernaba el mundo.

Escucho las campanas de Jerusalén sonando

I USED TO RULE THE WORLD
SEAS WOULD RISE WHEN I GAVE THE WORD
NOW IN THE MORNING I SWEEP ALONE
SWEEP THE STREETS I USED TO OWN

I USED TO ROLL THE DICE
FEEL THE FEAR IN MY ENEMYS EYES
LISTEN AS THE CROWD WOULD SING:
"NOW THE OLD KING IS DEAD! LONG LIVE THE KING!"

ONE MINUTE I HELD THE KEY
NEXT THE WALLS WERE CLOSED ON ME
AND I DISCOVERED THAT MY CASTLES STAND
UPON PILLARS OF SALT AND PILLARS OF SAND

I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS A RINGING
ROMAN CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGING
BE MY MIRROR MY SWORD AND SHIELD
MY MISSIONARIES IN A FOREIGN FIELD
FOR SOME REASON I CANT EXPLAIN
ONCE YOU GO THERE WAS NEVER, NEVER AN HONEST WORD
THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD
(OHHH)

IT WAS THE WICKED AND WILD WIND
BLEW DOWN THE DOORS TO LET ME IN
SHATTERED WINDOWS AND THE SOUND OF DRUMS
PEOPLE COULDNT BELIEVE WHAT ID BECOME

REVOLUTIONARIES WAIT
FOR MY HEAD ON A SILVER PLATE
JUST A PUPPET ON A LONELY STRING
OH WHO WOULD EVER WANT TO BE KING?

I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS A RINGING
ROMAN CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGING
BE MY MIRROR MY SWORD AND SHIELD
MY MISSIONARIES IN A FOREIGN FIELD
FOR SOME REASON I CANT EXPLAIN
I KNOW SAINT PETER WILL CALL MY NAME
NEVER AN HONEST WORD
BUT THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLD
(OHHHHH OHHH OHHH)

I HEAR JERUSALEM BELLS A RINGING
ROMAN CAVALRY CHOIRS ARE SINGING
BE MY MIRROR MY SWORD AND SHIELD
MY MISSIONARIES IN A FOREIGN FIELD
FOR SOME REASON I CANT EXPLAIN
I KNOW SAINT PETER WILL CALL MY NAME
NEVER AN HONEST WORD
BUT THAT WAS WHEN I RULED THE WORLd
OOOOOH OOOOOH OOOOOH

MOODLE VS BLOGSPOT

MOODLE VS. BLOGSPOT

Moodle is a manager that creates online courses which would be a virtual classroom. Use of this deck will change if used in support of classroom teaching, which is the area in which I move. In this case, we can carry out educational activities in the classroom that would otherwise be difficult to achieve.
For example, the presentation of Internet resources in a systematic way. This is one of the advantages of Moodle: can present the material in units (subjects, moodleliana terminology) ordered and ready for consultation with students. Allows you to include questionnaires, HotPotatoes, keeping a journal of work, taking the pulse on a topic in a forum or in a query, aarchivos up, edit documents collaboratively ... and ALL in the same environment.
As I will not dwell, I will say that the biggest advantage is that Moodle is recording everything the students do, namely, the teacher knows how many times the student has agreed to a source, what is the result of their participation in a query , which the questionnaires ... and not only know the teacher, but also the student, as this can be seen, many times as desired, the state of their qualifications. In addition to the classroom (and therefore the teacher and peers) is available for students anytime and from any computer.
Now it is true that moodle classrooms are an island closed, private, as are our classrooms. Some allow visitors access and, sometimes, we accept the presence of a partner. But it is the less.

beforehand that moodle blog and are not comparable, as are tools designed for very different uses. Moodle has been designed from an educational perspective, the blogs, no. Another thing is that these are used for educational purposes.
The blog has a public dimension indisputable (moodle not), but the same settings as places limits on what actions.

Are nonetheless compatible tools. In the language area of my department, we use the blog as a common space for all students (and high school), as a showcase to share news but, above all texts. Thus, moodle is defined as a unique environment of each group, while the blog is a shared space for students of different levels and ages. This is our proposal, but surely there are more.

The theme given for a detailed discussion of the pedagogical implications of the two tools. Worth a warning that these notes are just a point.
