Apple does it Again (wk3)

-

A couple of days ago Apple introduce another marvel that I am sure will have an impact on Education. A lot of people are calling the Ipad the big brother of the Iphone, but the Ipad is much more than that. This new gadget is capable of doing many things that a laptop will do but in a fancier and easier way.
What I like the most about this new machine is the simplicity and neatness of the operatng system that it contains. It includes many of the applications that the iphone has but there also some new ones that were created especifically for this tablet. I remeber reading an article in magazine a month ago about some predictions of what the Apple Tablet could have, and I must say that the differences between what it was predicted and the actual machine are minimum.
I am already saving money to be able to get one as soon as they become available here in Costa Rica. I am sure that I will be able to find multiple applications for this machine in the classroom, and if everything goes like Apple says, then it will replace my MacBookPro as my everyday companion.

I am convinced that somewhere along the way in the history of humankind, we have lost some of the values that separate us from the rest of the living beings that exists in this planet. The question here is: Are we going to be able to go back and recuperate those values before it is too late?. Well, the answer to this question i

Siempre se ha dicho que hay dos personas que asumen el poder en una producción: el productor y el director. Mientras el productor se encarga de realizar el trabajo pesado de sacar la producción avante, haciéndose cargo de la administración de los recursos y la coordinación de los distintos grupos de trabajo; el director se encarga de darle el alma, visión, y objetivo a la misma. Pero el trabajo del director no es sencillo, ya que debe contagiar a todos los diferentes integrantes de la producción de su visión, para que éstos funcionen de manera integral en busca del máximo objetivo: transmitir el mensaje que se quiere dejar en la audiencia en cada toma, escena y acto de la producción. Lograr ese cometido es un arte que se perfecciona día con día y que requiere de mucha sabiduría por parte del director, para saber lidiar con las personalidades y diferentes formas de trabajo de su equipo de producción.
