Sep. 5, 2010 - Research says that the use of virtual worlds improves students' communication skills
Researcher Ruth Martinez, who participates in the cycle of papers
'Edupunk, expanded education and custom learning environments' of the
summer courses the International University of Andalusia (UNIA)
organized in Baeza (Jaen), has assured that the use of virtual worlds
can help improve students' communication skills. "These spaces are
increasingly integrated into the reality around us," said Martinez, told
reporters. , free mmorpg game,
The rapporteur, who works as a strategic consultant in educational
innovation, I argue that virtual worlds offer an opportunity to enhance
leadership skills, interaction and teamwork of the users, besides being a
motivational tool that encourages and digital competition students. "I
was registered in Travian, a strategy game where you have to form a
clan, join people, fallen earth chips, who do not know. This may facilitate the ability for interpersonal relationships," explained Martinez.
"There are spaces that have a very consumerist component, but others
are more educational," differentiate the consultant, who clarifies that
these spaces, many of which have been created expressly for educational
purposes, are more useful for learning "informal" , this, outside the
framework of a specific subject, but, fallen earth chips,
also in this direction are known and some experience, especially in the
field of languages and language; experiences that also have the
advantage of saving costs and time. About the possible dangers
to the privacy of student who can carry these virtual zones, the speaker
indicated that a minor, in the case of these applications are used in
Primary and Secondary, "must be supervised by an adult, must be involved
both the teacher and parents. They have to see if the data is protected

guide for parents and educators. " Baeza Martinez intervened in
the context of a course where we reflect on the scope of 'Edupunk'
reciprocating educational transformation that seeks to increase the
participation of students through new technologies, whose presence in
the classroom, in the opinion the researcher, it is now mandatory, "from
the time they are introduced interactive whiteboards and school 2.0."
However, the rapporteur distrust of the changes brought by these bets
education: "Only with these instruments are not achieved the desired
learning objectives. It is not only to introduce a computer in the
classroom. You have to change the attitude of teachers, who has to learn
new digital skills. " "It is no use if it has more technology
becomes the methodology. Put the multiplication table on a whiteboard
and have students repeat it is not really innovate much.? You making the
student think? Must be obtained that students derive the result. must
be made to reflect, to win critical capacity, "he said.

Today, Ford said the production of the Explorer 2011 in Chicago will also create 600 new jobs among suppliers and over 100 companies in 23 states of the country will produce parts for the ATV. In parallel, the Export-Import Bank of the United States announced today to provide a loan guarantee to Ford, worth 250 million dollars to promote the exportation of Explorer 2011 and other models produced in the country to Mexico and Canada . Ford wants to use the loan to ensure the export of 200,000 vehicles (of the Ford Explorer, F-150, Focus, Escape, Expedition, Taurus as well as the Lincoln MKS and Navigator) to these two countries, an operation that has a value of about 3,100 million dollars. "This transaction provides support for thousands of export-related jobs and higher wages to higher export goods and services to international buyers," he tolda statement the President of Export-Import Bank, Fred Hochberg. The White House has stressed that thanks to financial support provided by the federal government from the beginning of the crisis in the car at the end of 2008, the sector has been able to generate in recent months 55 000 jobs, the first time work yields a profit since 1999.

Jul. 22, 2010 - Is the Renewed RO2 Worth Expecting?
RO2, which started open beta in 2007, bears a very unclear advancement concept, and pays little attention to RO's important feature - diversified advancement routes. Thus, players can only go forward according to the designated route. We hope to embody the various classes' features as we did in RO, and thus make those who've played RO more interested and attract new gamers as well.We plan to provide 5 playable classes at the very beginning. And players can change to 2nd and 3rd job classes as they level up, which is just the case with RO. 2nd job classes will be made available in the upcoming CBT, and 3rd job classes will be made open after the game is officially operated. Surely, there won't be "2-1", "2-2" job classes or that sort of things any more.Would you say something about the life classes in the prequel?In the past, players choosing "Blacksmith" would get very embarrassed during combat, but this has been improved. Each character can now choose from among both the combat classes and the life classes. A total of 8 life classes are being developed currently, and the 4 life classes that are best completed will be made playable in the open beta.What are the 4 life classes?Blacksmith, Alchemist, Tailor, and the last one is still not unveiled.As players claim, from the teaser site of RO2: Legend of the Second, the game is actually the 3D version of RO. Do you agree?No. Though we do our best to maintain the overall style and storyline of RO for the sake of attracting the RO gamers, the two games still differ from each other in the nature.
