Consider this your instructions manual for the world’s most popular search engine. The Scenario: You’re playing Scrabble and some dumb-dumb says, “Hey, ‘panacea’ isn’t a word!” The Solution: Just type “define:” followed by the word you want and Google will take you straight to the definition. The Scenario: You want to find out the origin of a quote, but Google keeps giving results that are nowhere close. The Solution: Put your search phrase inside quotation marks. The Scenario: You want bread recipes that don’t list “yeast” as an ingredient. The Solution: After you enter your desired search terms, add a minus sign (-) followed by the words you want excluded. The Scenario: You want to research digital cameras that fall within a certain price range. The Solution: First type in your term. Related:  GoogleTemporaire recup a classer

10 Tips for Folders in Google Drive Folders allow you to organize your files in Google Drive. They also allow you to more efficiently share a collection of documents. If you’ve switched to the new Google Drive you can create a folder by clicking on the reddish “NEW” button and choosing folder. The “Create” button provides the same options if you have not switched over. You can find the folders under “My Drive” on the left hand side of Google Drive. You can move your documents to a folder by simply dragging the document from Google Drive to the folder on the left hand side in Google Drive. From the More actions menu choose “Move to” to add to a folder. Hold down the Control key (Command on a Mac) and select multiple documents that you want to add to a folder. Documents in a folder inherit the sharing permissions of the folder. Select the folder you want to share and click on the share icon in the toolbar. The “Share with others” dialogue box allows you to add the email address of collaborators to the folder. Like this:

The Harvard Classics: Download All 51 Volumes as Free eBooks Every revolutionary age produces its own kind of nostalgia. Faced with the enormous social and economic upheavals at the nineteenth century’s end, learned Victorians like Walter Pater, John Ruskin, and Matthew Arnold looked to High Church models and played the bishops of Western culture, with a monkish devotion to preserving and transmitting old texts and traditions and turning back to simpler ways of life. It was in 1909, the nadir of this milieu, before the advent of modernism and world war, that The Harvard Classics took shape. What does the massive collection preserve? In its expert synergy of moral uplift and marketing, The Harvard Classics (find links to download them as free ebooks below) belong as much to Mark Twain’s bourgeois gilded age as to the pseudo-aristocratic age of Victoria—two sides of the same ocean, one might say. The idea for the collection didn’t initially come from Eliot, but from two editors at the publisher P.F. Related Content: W.H.

Selon une étude, il est possible de tomber amoureux en répondant à ces 36 questions Deux inconnus, 36 questions, 45 minutes... Et vous avez la recette pour tomber amoureux en un rien de temps. C'est du moins ce qu'une étude a voulu démontrer. Il parait que le coup de foudre existe, que lorsque l'on est amoureux on le sait tout de suite... Mais existe-t-il une formule magique qui permet de tomber amoureux ? Prenez deux inconnus, placez-les face à face dans une salle, demandez leur de répondre à 36 questions en l'espace de 45 minutes puis laissez-les se regarder dans le blanc des yeux pendant quatre minutes et le tour est joué, c'est le big love. Une professeur sceptique tente l'expérience Alors, légende urbaine ou exactitude scientifique ? Si la personne qu'elle a choisi n'était pas un parfait inconnu, que le laboratoire s'est transformé en bar et que les deux tourtereaux ont dépassé le temps indiqué, ils ont néanmoins suivi le protocole. Une série de questions qui semble suivre une suite logique, avec des questions de plus en plus personnelles. Première série : 1. 13.

Create a Unique Google Forms URL for Each Student One of the presentations I did in the Google Booth at Educause this year was on using concatenate for a spreadsheet. While you do not need to know the word concatenate to do this trick, it is wickedly useful. One of the best tools in the Google Apps suite is Google Forms. It allows any user on practically any device to fill out a Form. The user does not have to be logged in, have a Google account or even know what Google is. The problem is the end user. Unfortunately there are fields you would not typically want to make multiple choice. Google Forms allows you to pre-populate the fields of the Form. If you use the same Google Form repeatedly, such as for a daily warm-up, each student can have a unique URL that automatically pre-populates their SID, First Name, Last Name and Email Address. When putting on a professional development (PD) conference event the same evaluation form is used for each session, each presenter. Like this: Like Loading...

Une astuce pour changer de tonalité sans prendre de risque Un petit truc tout bête que j'utilise régulièrement pour changer de tonalité, c'est de conserver une note du dernier accord de la tonalité 1, et faire en sorte qu'on retrouve cette note dans le premier accord de la tonalité 2. Par exemple, je termine une phrase sur un accord de SOL majeur (notes sol-si-ré), je peux embrayer sur un accord de SIB majeur (notes sib-ré-fa) pour démarrer une autre phrase musicale. C'est la note ré qui est en commun. D'ailleurs, je me suis livré à un petit exercice : je joue du piano dans une tonalité de LA mineur et j'arrive sur un accord de Sol majeur (qui est très commun dans la tonalité de LA mineur). Et là je me dis comme ça : "tiens, aujourd'hui je suis de bonne humeur, je tenterais bien un changement de tonalité (soyons fou !)". Donc, en partant de l'accord de SOL majeur (notes sol-si-ré) :

Quelques exemples de répétition dans la musique de film. Je crois que c'est mon paternel qui m'a dit un jour :"Fiston, dans une musique les gens retiennent surtout l'intro, la fin et les répétitions" La répétition d'une phrase mélodique ou d'un rythme se fait de manière naturelle et spontanée dans le domaine de la chanson, mais je pense qu'elle est aussi largement employée dans la musique de film, de manière plus subtile (plus cachée, je dirais). Il arrive que les compositeurs dupliquent un petit passage de sorte qu'on puisse l'entendre 2 fois de suite. ça ne fait pas de mal à la structure du morceau et ça permet à l'auditeur de s'imprégner du thème. En parcourant diverses BO, je m'aperçois que peu de passages sont réellement "clonés". A chaque fois, la répétition présente une petite variation, ce qui apporte un peu plus de richesse à l'ensemble.

Teach your students the right way to Google Kelly Maher November 24th, 2014 In the age of the split-second Google search, it’s more critical than ever to train students to distinguish between primary and secondary sources As in decades past, proper research methods are an essential skill for today’s students. At a time when most students (and adults, for that matter) are accustomed to heading straight to Google to answer all of their questions, being able to sagely sift through the good, the bad, and the ugly of search results is key to creating independent 21st century thinkers. However, even when used properly, Google is not always the right resource. Learn how to search Print resources undoubtedly still have a place at the table, but it would be futile to deny that the ability to locate and evaluate online sources is an equally valuable skill.
