A Drop In The Ocean Piano Sheet Letters

The canon my friend ...

... is blowing in the wind. Wonderful post Captain Javier a sad day for freedom. Yes, I say out loud, and I write: seen as the SGAE abrazafarolas and politicians, and demagogues Cultureta distorters, to save the creators have to pay a fee, I will repay ...


... To increase the memory capacity of my devices and download them more complete discographies of artists middling all infamous films of English cinema without spending a dime on me in a room, to install P2P programs on all my computers.

And of course I will encourage everyone to do the same: Do not buy some disk. Do not go to the movies. Do not throw your money on that crap creative. Thirsty pirates. Be filibusters. Abolish the "culture" that seek to protect. Maybe then we get the culture with a capital to survive, without priests or collectors ...

Can Aldacton Cause Leg Cramps?

're a teacher of a course on line ... with 600 students!

15 years I've been training and half of them face training compatibilizing and online training. Long time to have seen just about everything, but obviously there are always new things, challenges and, of course, problems.

The last course in the form of e-learning in which I participated as a teacher-tutor began as many. The proposal called for me to participate, preparatory meeting, and there, the surprise will have over 500 students in the virtual classroom. Of course, as one puts a macho face of circumstances, the typical "I am in charge" and drop the usual, "Well, is not a physical classroom, so I'm sure that goes well." Well

out yet, but at the expense of hardness inherent in a number of students so immense. I think interesting to write here some aspects that may help to pass him something similar.

First problem. "I am me ... and my circumstances", ie the profile of students. Internet module. Well, you know, explain how a browser, a browser, mail ... Something "sucked" for anyone who takes more than a decade on the internet. Surely you do it right. Although students in the classroom find that they could have invented the Internet Vint Cerf while the thing starts to become complex. Especially if they share with other virtual console are discovering what the hell is this about the arroba. Solution: permanent presence in the Virtual Classroom. Propose topics beyond the documentation. Join all discussions. Trying to maintain a balance between the more advanced students and laggards. And above all, be assertive. There are many people who know more than you.

second problem. "Noise!". Dozens of messages, many of them repeated or on the same issue. Especially in the early stages of the course. Virtual classroom full of new items to scare at sight. Solution: permanent presence in the Virtual Classroom. Especially the first few days, trying to redirect the discussion to a single repeated discussion space. Working through private reassure those who feel lost before you start.

Third problem. "This pedals will. "Technology is advancing, but will never be perfect. The waiting times are continuing and frustrating to anyone. Solution: patience and be positive again. Try something unnerving becomes anecdotal. Try to make it worth waiting . Can be done without suffering the same problems remain in the Aua?

Fourth problem. "Ains, I have no time". The generic courses in e-learning mode. cobwebs do not appear as 600 students are many, but if you look closely those involved are always the same. "And the others? The Lurker also learn and that is perfectly legal (in the end who has not left discuss with others preferring to remain expectant teacher?) Even so, many "missing class." Solution: Work in the field of coordination. Your phone and more. Mails of memory, mood. The presence of the course must be beyond the virtual campus. Fifth

problem. "The petrol bomb." A good day is a debate that is poorly understood. Within minutes, the snowball grows and what is going on silk becomes virtual grudges and bitter words. Solution: Water as soon as possible. In private and from coordination, understanding and close the problem. And again presence in Virtual Classroom. Debating on what really matters, and be fun. Did not We like jokes in a class? If you are as necessary as we have supposedly serious ;-) ... Sixth

problem. "Surely you understand and take a 10." Come assessments and the students return to be it, students get scared of not getting a good grade. You prepare an assessment that avoids the "Paint and Color", the revised thousand times and you begin the evaluation period, you realize he should have checked at least a thousand times. Errors in the questionnaire or badly formulated questions. Sure, who is going to happen send 25 megabytes via email in an attached file. So you pose a question exhaustively so that all can say no. And once more you are wrong. Sure you can! Doing is outrageous, but you can and you do not ask if it goes against all logic. And is not the only mistake. So the expected 10 becomes an 8 or a 6 or a miserable aprobaducho. Now you are not satisfied students have passed a simple test, but adults who feel cheated pissed and exercise their right to protest. The "incendiary bomb" is small. Begin the "Clone Wars" in the amount of times to repeat the same message on issue after issue. Solution: take the errors. In public and in private. The times they are needed. Learn internally so that does not happen again but above all to move participants to the important is not the result of the questionnaire. That learning is beyond measure with 10 questions on a test. Seventh

problem. "Goodbye to the heart." It's been 3 weeks and feel that wearing life stuck in a virtual world. It is time to close the course and give way to another. Problem? Will in any case relief. Ummm ... yes, but what I now like the mono substituted for virtual discussion?

Thus, a boat soon. Without wishing to theorize on the subject. Simply analyzing the experiences quickly. We return to the top. Many years devoted to training. Enjoying it. And be aware that both face over the Internet is a drug, hard and sweet at the same time ...

I Faked A Kidney Stone

Conversation ... Or not?

" Markets are conversations." The Cluetrain Manifesto Thesis also appears in the mine. Again and again. Thanks to this new conversational space, new forms of communication grow and become increasingly important. Organizations should talk to their customers and should listen. And of course, the use of blogs is a great tool for this.

The "old" mantra "a blog is a website that does not require technical expertise for implementation, with reverse chronological order, providing updates frequently and usually incorporates a lot of links to other blogs or pages that the author feels interesting, and a space to leave comments to encourage a conversation "is something my students have to suffer again and again. We know that when one focuses on a topic just talking about it all hours. The conversation is crucial, directed conversation, unlike what happened in the "old fashioned" forums, and ongoing exchange of views.

Leo dozens of blogs every day. In all sorts of topics. Some well-known and others, absolutely lost in the vast blogosphere. At a time now I look at the comments. Rather, I look at the lack of them. Of course, Enrique Dans, Julio Alonso or kids of Alt1040 can have posts with a couple dozen of external interventions, and Microserfs decided to close them long ago. But what about the rest?

response prefer not to publish, but the truth is that silence is prevailing. Occasionally someone says something, and I imagine the author of the blog is happy at that time. But they are scarce, too scarce. Maybe it's our tendency to " lurkeo " should not be particularly negative. Since then the blogosphere is growing every day. We all talk about it. To "La 2" realizes that "large minority" is there and he devotes a daily program (Which all this seems a glaring success.) But most do deaf ear to the conversation proclaimed. Yes, sometimes we discuss where we know the "scribbler" on duty. And even we do more to make our firm and well get some extra visit, rather than something new.

Against this background, difficult to convince many companies of the goodness of this channel. At least, if no comment, nor the negative there, right? ;-)

Manifestos

That a group of businessmen proposed to control the blogosphere is so absurd that not even deserve no comment, but the Post Tecnorantes on the tourism sector and mental pie is so good that I recommend that you read.
