Scientific Speed Reading: How to Read 300% Faster in 20 Minutes (Photo: Dustin Diaz) How much more could you get done if you completed all of your required reading in 1/3 or 1/5 the time? Increasing reading speed is a process of controlling fine motor movement—period. This post is a condensed overview of principles I taught to undergraduates at Princeton University in 1998 at a seminar called the “PX Project.” I have never seen the method fail. The PX Project The PX Project, a single 3-hour cognitive experiment, produced an average increase in reading speed of 386%. It was tested with speakers of five languages, and even dyslexics were conditioned to read technical material at more than 3,000 words-per-minute (wpm), or 10 pages per minute. If you understand several basic principles of the human visual system, you can eliminate inefficiencies and increase speed while improving retention. First, several definitions and distinctions specific to the reading process: You do not read in a straight line, but rather in a sequence of saccadic movements (jumps).
4-manifold In mathematics, 4-manifold is a 4-dimensional topological manifold. A smooth 4-manifold is a 4-manifold with a smooth structure. In dimension four, in marked contrast with lower dimensions, topological and smooth manifolds are quite different. 4-manifolds are of importance in physics because, in General Relativity, spacetime is modeled as a pseudo-Riemannian 4-manifold. Topological 4-manifolds[edit] Examples: Freedman's classification can be extended to some cases when the fundamental group is not too complicated; for example, when it is Z there is a classification similar to the one above using Hermitian forms over the group ring of Z. For any finitely presented group it is easy to construct a (smooth) compact 4-manifold with it as its fundamental group. Smooth 4-manifolds[edit] A major open problem in the theory of smooth 4-manifolds is to classify the simply connected compact ones. Which topological manifolds are smoothable?

The Mind-Mapping Wiki In a post some months ago, I promised to tell you more about WikIT, the mind mapping wiki but kept getting distracted. Now I have found a few minutes to keep my word. WikIT is a facinating resource. It takes the line that different uses of ‘information maps’ (I’m planning a post about that phrase!) This wiki covers the many types of maps – mind maps, concept maps, argument maps and others. Although it looks a lot like Wikipedia, and has the same types of search facilities, WikIT often uses mind maps for navigation – that must be a boon – and takes advantage of MindManager 8′s ability to deliver Flash and PDF mind maps that work, as well as looking pretty. The best place to start is the list of all the subjects covered by the wiki. Information Tamers, who put this wiki together, have also remedied a hole in my site by adding a list of free mapping software on one of its pages.

Agir en faveur de l’engagement et de la motivation des élèves Parmi les sept facteurs déterminants du climat scolaire, les stratégies pédagogiques sont favorables à l’engagement et à la motivation des élèves. S’informer “En ce qui concerne la relation pédagogique, le choix s’oriente vers un style qui promeut la coopération et évite les deux pièges bien connus de l’autoritarisme et du laisser-faire […]. “Améliorer le climat passe par l’augmentation de l’identification collective dans les établissements, celle des professionnels comme celle des élèves.” Agir Un bon climat scolaire et le bien être à l’école, au collège ou au lycée, du point de vue des élèves, reposent sur un certain nombre de principes éducatifs et pédagogiques. Les principes suivant peuvent se décliner de la manière suivante, dans ces actions et pratiques favorables à l’engagement, la coopération et la motivation, dans l'établissement, dans la classe et avec l'élève.

3 façons d'utiliser Pinterest en classe Au début janvier, j’ai écrit un article pour vous donner des idées d’utilisations en lien avec la plateforme Instagram. Cette plateforme permet de partager des photos que l’on prend avec un téléphone ou une tablette. Aujourd’hui, je vous présente un autre outil en lien avec l’image. Pinterest est un babillard en ligne sur lequel on peut épingler des images provenant de l’Internet. Selon Wikipédia: Pinterest est un site web américain mélangeant les concepts de réseautage social et de partage de photographies, lancé en2010 par Paul Sciarra, Evan Sharp et Ben Silbermann. Voici un tutoriel qui explique comment l’utiliser. Une enseignante du nom de Laurence Juin a expérimenté cet outil avec sa classe. Ressources : Voici un tutoriel qu’elle a fait pour ses élèves. Pour son expérience, elle a créé un compte unique pour la classe et les élèves devaient y partager des images en liens avec son cours. 1) Créer une galerie de peintures du courant surréaliste 2) Créer un tableau à la manière d’un peintre

Magnetism alas is not one of them. Magnetism can be induced in graphene by doping it with magnetic impurities, but this doping tends to disrupt graphene's electronic properties. Now a team of physicists at the University of California, Riverside has found an ingenious way to induce magnetism in graphene while also preserving graphene's electronic properties. They have accomplished this by bringing a graphene sheet very close to a magnetic insulator -- an electrical insulator with magnetic properties. "This is the first time that graphene has been made magnetic this way," said Jing Shi, a professor of physics and astronomy, whose lab led the research. The finding has the potential to increase graphene's use in computers, as in computer chips that use electronic spin to store data. Study results appeared online earlier this month in Physical Review Letters.
