New technologies in recycling garbage: methods to prevent global pollution New machinery known as “digesters” can take the waste and the biogas it produces and turn it into energy that can be used on site. This kind of technology can be used on a variety of waste, including food, animal waste, agricultural leftovers, and more. WAYS THAT TECHNOLOGY IS INNOVATING IN THE WASTE MANAGEMENT SECTOR TURNING WASTE INTO ENERGY One of the biggest innovations coming to the waste management industry is the ability to turn waste into actual power. Instead of sitting in a landfill, certain types of waste can simply be converted into energy. This kind of technology can be used on a variety of waste, including food, animal waste, agricultural leftovers, and more. Thermal conversion is another new technology that can be used to convert waste into specialty products. Some landfill gas can even be converted into energy. This kind of gas would normally be released or flared, but no

Automobiles' aerodynamic qualities and how they changed since 1950?

Image
AERODYNAMICS Aerodynamics  is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies. Because the gas that we encounter most is air,  aerodynamics  is primarily concerned with the forces of drag and lift, which are caused by air passing over and around solid bodies . History of Aerodynamic As aircraft speed increased, designers began to encounter challenges associated with air  comprehensibility  at speeds near or greater than the speed of sound. The differences in air flows under such conditions leads to problems in aircraft control, increased drag due to  shock waves , and the threat of structural failure due to  aeroelastic flutter . The ratio of the flow speed to the speed of sound was named the  Mach number  after  Ernst Mach  who was one of the first to investigate the properties of  supersonic  flow.  William John Macquorn Rankine  and  Pierre Henri Hugoniot  independently developed the theory for flow properties before and after a  shock wave , while  Jakob Acker

Do values of contemporary people focus on new technologies more than on everything else?

Image
Technology has become a huge part in society and day-to-day life. When societies know more about the development in a technology, they become able to take advantage of it. When an innovation achieves a certain point after it has been presented and promoted, this technology becomes part of the society. Advantages of technology First, the evolution of technology is beneficial to humans for several reasons.  Technology has also increased the productivity of almost every industry in the world. Technology improves daily lives; allowing to move physical  storage units  to virtual storage banks and more. Scientists of the time are also able to send astronauts to the moon thanks to technology.   Disadvantages and risks of technology On the other hand, the evolution of modern technology has disadvantages, for example, dependence on new technology. The use of technology certainly needs rule and new laws. For example internet use is an individual freedom. The negativ

Can online education be compatible with the traditional one?

Can online education be compatible with the traditional one? Education continues to evolve with the help of technology. Due to cutting-edge communication tools, distance learning is no longer a major barrier. Those wishing to earn a degree can simply turn to the Internet for accredited programs or online sessions with a mentor.  How does online learning compare to traditional education? Online Learning People take professional level courses usually to increase their qualifications and enhance their career opportunities in their jobs. For example, to get promotion in higher level and higher paid jobs; in management related professional degrees, diplomas are helpful. However many employees may be exhausted after their work and don’t want to attend regular classes. The best thing about online learning is that individuals can take a course from the comfort of their office or home. Even with a busy schedule, one can find some spare time to take a course or study for it.

Should students be taught typing instead of writing?

Should students be taught typing instead of writing? With our smartphones and laptops, we’re typing on keyboards more frequently than writing by hand. Typing has become our go-to method of writing for everything, from work emails to personal to-do lists. Comparing handwriting vs. typing, you’re more exposed to critical thinking when you write by hand than when you type. Handwriting allows you to think more thoroughly about the information you’re recording. It encourages you to expand upon your thoughts and form connections between them. This can be further enhanced by using different colored pen types as a color-coding system to organize thoughts and form more connections. In my opinion as a teacher we should make students to practice both ways. We need them to be familiar with technology as well as handwriting. Why students should be taught typing is to make them according to development of world which make their life easier. When we write your notes by hand, you develop a stro

Implanting microchips in animals: is it ethical?

Image
What is microchip? A microchip implant is an identifying integrated circuit placed under the skin of an animal. The chip, about the size of a large grain of rice, and are safely implanted like a vaccine is administered, by a needle in a fold of skin. Use of microchip Scientists implant microchips in animals in order to study about the certain living thing such as where it lives, how it moves in times and identification. Microchips are difficult to implant and can harm animals but it is also painless process. It is about the size of a grain of rice Scientists learn about animals through implanted microchip. Each microchip contains a registration number and the phone number of the registry for the particular brand of chip. A handheld scanner reads the radio frequency of the chip and displays this information. Benefits of Micro- chipping Animals Permanent, permanent documentation of animals can be a challenge. Although a documented form of identification, the tattooin

Can technology solve the crises of higher education?

Can technology solve the crises of higher education? Colleges and universities have usually been quick to adopt new technologies, often even before their educational value has been established. Throughout its history, higher education has experimented with technological advances as varied as the blackboard and the personal computer. Some technologies have become permanent parts of the higher education enterprise.  At the dawn of the twenty-first century, new and speedily improving technologies are in the process of transforming higher education. Each year since 1994, the Campus Computing Survey has shown increased use in college classrooms of technology-dependent resources such as e-mail, the Internet, course web pages, and computer simulations. Technology has the potential to revolutionize the traditional teaching and learning process. It can eliminate the barriers to education imposed by space and time and dramatically expand access to lifelong learning.  Impact on Teaching

Active volcanoes that can erupt at any moment: preventative and safety technologies

Image
A volcano in Eastern  Russia , previously classified as extinct, could be waking up, leading scientists to suggest a deadly eruption could occur at any time. Scientists say the Bolshaya Udina volcano was believed to be extinct until 2017, when they started detecting increased seismic activity beneath it. "At any moment, an eruption can occur," Ivan Koulakov, a geophysicist from Russia's A.A. Trofimuk Institute who led a study on the volcano, 

what do cosmonauts research and observe on the orbit of Earth?

Image
The Earth's Orbit Like all planets in our solar system, the Earth is in an elliptical orbit around our Sun. In Earth's case, its orbit is nearly circular, so that the difference between Earth's farthest point from the Sun and its closest point is very small. Earth's orbit defines a two-dimensional plane which we call the ecliptic. It takes roughly 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun once. This means that the Earth is rushing through space around the Sun at a rate of about 67,000 miles per hour! The time it takes for the Earth to go around the Sun one full time is what we call a year.

Use of Educational Technology in Assessment and Evaluation

Image
Technology offers teachers a variety of new tools that can be used in the classroom. Technology can help teachers track and assess their students' -- as well as their own -- performance in the classroom. It can also be used to facilitate communication between students and teachers and to create digital records of student growth and development that can easily be passed along from grade to grade. Teachers can use technology to make their own work more productive -- teachers can use spreadsheets to track student work and also track their teaching plans. If a group of students is performing poorly in a particular area, this kind of record keeping can highlight areas that the teacher needs to focus on in their own teaching. Technology gives us a way to get feedback continually during the teaching process, instead of at the end of the teaching process -- when we end up with only a retrospective understanding. One example is Google classroom. Google Classroom is an onlin

Should students be allowed to use computers and tablets in classes?

Image
INTRODUCTION The use of personal technology devices in the classroom is prevalent at colleges and universities. Rather than embracing this trend, some faculty, departments and even entire institutions have started putting limitations on students’ use of personal technology in class. Technology slowly seems to be taking over many aspects of human society. Education has gradually evolved to incorporate technology in the dissemination of information. This advancement has revolutionized the classroom environment leading to improved grades and learning experiences.

Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else. It can include sharing personal or private information about someone else causing embarrassment or humiliation. Some cyberbullying crosses the line into unlawful or criminal behavior.

Should video games be used in education?

Image
INTRODUCTION Playing video games has become a normal part of childhood for many children.  Recently, much attention has been focused on the downsides and potential dangers of video games. However, if used correctly, video games possess advantages not present in other learning environments and can be a powerful tool to help children improve and develop life skills. According to Blanchero, games and unique teaching tools represent a change in education of using video games as teaching tools. Should video games be used in education? There are many different forms of media that children can access to play a wide assortment of games such as on a handheld device, a computer, or a television via a video game console.  Considering the notion that video games can occupy a child’s attention for an extended time frame, it is important to examine the content of the video game for its educational benefits. ·          Video games helped students to identify and attempt to correct the

Influence of media on our life

Image
According to Dahekar (2017) the media plays an important role and has an impact on all aspects of our lives. It is considered to be the best source of understanding of world events. Newspapers, magazines, radios, television and the Internet are different types of media. It affects our lives because the media has the power to influence our thinking. This effect is sometimes positive and sometimes negative.   First of all, I said that the media only mentions what we know or think we know. For example, apart from the media, I have no evidence that Barack Obama has a place called Afghanistan.

Learning Environment

How to manage the classroom so that the learning environment is fair to all your students? In the classroom we spend all our energy and time to manage our classroom and provide them a meaningful learning environment. We focus our time on how students should be behaving and what students should be doing. While this is an important component into having an efficient and effective classroom, using teaching strategies that create a learning environment that promotes equality is just as important. Equality is about all students getting a fair and equal education. It is where all students pose ideas, share ideas, and are explicitly welcome to participate. Here are some of the ways that I use in my class  that will help me in my classroom management. Classroom Rules- Children need rules to follow plus we as teachers need guidelines for your kids to follow in order to teach and get the most from the day. I Sit with my students in the beginning of the year or anytime to design rules to

The importance and the benefits of using teaching aids and puppets

Image
Teaching aids are materials that teachers use in the classroom to help students to understand the concepts he or she introduces during the lesson and it  assists students in learning.  (Crepeau & Richards, 2003)  Teaching aids can be as basic as a blackboard or a just blank paper. These aids consist of video, audio and hands-on tools to help involve the students and enhance the learning experience. Teachers begin using visual, audio, and hands-on aids as early as preschool. Audio and visual equipment, such as DVD players and video projectors, are commonly used as tools for learning with a very effective output. Puppets is also a highly effective too that can be used in a classroom.
