Quadri... da ascoltare. Il mio ultimo programma "Guida all'ascolto di 'Quadri da una esposizione' di Modest Musorgskij" si propone di facilitare un approccio consapevole e guidato all'ascolto del celebre brano classico del musicista russo. E' suddiviso in varie Sezioni: - La sezione "L'Autore" presenta una essenziale biografia di Modest Musorgskij. - La sezione "La composizione" delinea brevemente la natura dell'opera proposta, le sue caratteristiche, la sua struttura. - La sezione "Ascolta la composizione" rappresenta il cuore del programma: propone l'ascolto integrale dell'opera attraverso due percorsi differenti. A detto percorso, dunque, dovrebbe seguire poi il "Percorso B", che si caratterizza per il fatto che l'ascolto della composizione di Musorgskij è accompagnato, come già detto, da sia pur sommarie indicazioni esplicative. La sezione "QUIZ", da proporre evidentemente non prima di aver visitato le sezioni precedenti, presenta una serie di 10 quesiti di verifica.

How To Integrate Live Tweets Into Your Presentations I’ve seen plenty of presentations that try to incorporate social media, polling, and other interactive tools. It’s all an effort to engage the audience and keep the conversation going. But usually these presentations don’t do it right. They say ‘mention my presentation with the XYZ hashtag’ or ‘like us on Facebook to see back-channel conversations’ and whatnot. Lucky for you, we just stumbled across a new tool that’s designed to incorporate live tweets into your presentation. It’s called SAP Web 2.0 it’s as simple to use as PowerPoint.

8 Great Free Educational Resources for Teachers It is really amazing how technology is transforming education and making it way easier and better than it used to be. If you are a digital immigrant like me ( 30 years old up ), you would exactly not only know what I am talking about but also feel it. When I think back to those pen and pencil days when instruction used to take place in a boring classroom full of chalk dust and how hard and limited our access to information was, I know how lucky our students are to be living in this digital boom where unlimited knowledge is at their fingertips. Internet has definitely changed the course of education. It has revolutionized every facet of it and its train is still moving so you either hop aboard or lag behind and get outdated. Please keep in mind that many of the tools I have already reviewed here before are not included and I listed only new ones , because if I include all, the list will be more than 50 tools. 1- Internet Archive 2- Project Gutenberg 3- Federal Resources of Excellence
Learn What You Want, Teach What You Love The idea for MentorMob sprouts from the backgrounds of Kris Chinosorn and Vince Leung. Both avid learners, they found early on that the Internet was not quite the incredible tool for learning new skills and hobbies that everyone thinks it is. Even with millions of free lessons online, the content is almost impossible to navigate. "You don’t really know where to start, what to learn next or who you can trust, which is why in a sea of free content, people are still paying for online lessons." - Vince Leung, CTO Both Kris and Vince knew there had to be a better, more efficient way to learn for free online and that is when MentorMob was born. Since MentorMob’s inception, the company has seen many changes, and pivoted from it’s original website (now residing as LessonPaths.com) to create a community focused social learning platform that features one in-depth learning experience that works.
