English Convesation Classes Analogue v. Digital Cameras

My collection of (film-based) analog cameras  includes everything from a Holga to an Action Sampler to a Fisheye, which takes wonderful circular shots.Camera with fisheye lense.These cameras mark an incredible evolution in form from the earliest manifestation of the camera as an 11th century dark box or camera obscura.

AMERICAN WOMAN A Plea to Female Voters

AMERICAN WOMAN A Plea to Female Voters Bust of Susan B. Anthony, one of Americas greatest feministsPhoto by Flickr user cliff1066â„¢ While I know for a fact who I am voting for, and while I am passionate about my political party, I am not here to convince you to side with me. You are a woman with the right to vote (assuming you are of age, of course), and that right is something that did not come easily. Susan B. Anthony, one of America’s most influential and passionate women, once said, “Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!” Others have fought long and hard for us to have a say in how our country is run, so why neglect that right? A republican woman is equal to a democrat woman is equal to a republican or democrat man. Each vote holds the same weight, and I cannot stress that enough to you ladies. So as November 6th draws closer and closer, get excited. Being active and involved citizens is what will make this nation what it should be. Nothing is more dangerous to our success than apathy, so here I stress one more time to my American women: your voices matter.  Let them be heard.  I hope to see you all with ‘I voted’ stickers come Election Day. For more information on being an active woman voter, I suggest looking into your local chapter of the League of Women Voters.

The Ultimate Guide to Language Learning Flashcard Apps

The Ultimate Guide to Language Learning Flashcard Apps Flashcard 411: Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Language Learning FlashcardsFirst, were going to take a quick look at all the reasons why flashcards are perfect for language learners. There are certainly a lot of reasons, but these are the strongest!  Why Do Flashcards Work for Language Learning?Theyre beyond easy to useWell, dont get me wrong, many  language tools are quite easy to use. Everyone can read a grammar book, dictionary or thesaurus. Anyone can listen to podcasts or watch movies.Everything is easy. Until you meet a grammar book you dont understand or listen to a podcast where the hosts speak so fast you cant even make out individual words.Flashcards are simpler on a whole different level.Flashcards are so easy, so simple and so unassuming that learners often underestimate their power. Were so used to thinking that unless a tool has all the bells and whistles, it couldnt do a great job.But the sheer  simplicity of flashcards, both in paper and digitized forms, is t he very feature that makes them  so powerful. As youll soon learn, the next 3 bullet points spring from the fact that flashcards are so deceptively simple.Those rectangular spaces really do grab  our attentionA feature of flashcards is that theyre confined to a limited (rectangular) space. As it turns out, this is very helpful in learning. Unlike a single book page which may contain several paragraphs and dozens upon dozens of sentences, a single flashcard often contains just a few wordsâ€"sometimes even just one word or one image.And this one word, in that very instant, becomes our whole universe. Its daring us to answer or guess whats behind the card, and in that moment its our entire point of focus.Nothing else matters. No extraneous factors dilute or demand our attention. Its like being in a gun duel and all your focus is spent on  that dark silhouette in front of you. It’s just you and the flashcard, there’s no tomorrow.I dont wanna get too theatrical, but that’s what fac ing a flashcard is like. It’s just the word and you. And the only question is, can you conquer it?They give us instant feedback and course correctionWhether you use print flashcards or the digitized versions of today, flashcards have an  instant feedback mechanism. You simply flip the card and expose what’s behindâ€"then youll know who won the duel.This instant feedback and course correction is vital for enhanced learning.  Because the correction is in real-time, you can immediately learn from your mistake and incorporate the learning into the very next question/card.It’s not like taking a long exam, passing the answer sheet to your professor and waiting for one week to get it back.Instant feedback allows you to self-reflect and review your train of thoughts immediately after you discovered your mistake. The mistakes and lessons learned are painfully fresh, which makes it memorable.They encourage repetitionâ€"the key to learningThe Romans have a saying: repetitio est mater stu diorum. (Repetition is the mother of all learning).How true! The role of repetition in learning is well understood in Psychology.Flashcards are quite effective because they promote the act of repetition. Because of their inherent simplicity, which weve already talked about, flashcards easily lend themselves to repetition. Thats why theyre  so freakin’ awesome. Theyre simple and unassuming, but they can pack a mean punch.You can have another go at the deck without fear because you know you can stop anytime you want to. You don’t have to finish the whole thing. (Unless of course you are somewhat slightly obsessive-compulsive.)You think you can do better with Spanish verb forms in the next round? Simply shuffle the cards, and voila! You got a brand new randomized deck.Flashcards can even be mildly addicting. Especially when youre getting good at the lesson and you just have a few mistakes in the round. You’re gonna be itching to make up for  all those careless mistakes and end up with a perfect record.So guess what just happened? You overlearned and burned the lesson into your long-term memory. Not bad at all.Okay. Now that we know why flashcards are your buddies in learning a language, let’s dive deeper into this topic and investigate the ways that we can pack even more punch into these babies. The defining features of an awesome flashcard system are up next.3 Characteristics of a Great Flashcard System1. Different sensory cues are integrated for maximum impactWe know that there are visual learners. They learn best with images and colors. We also know that there are auditory dudes  who like melodies and sound with their lessons. Finally, there’s kinesthetic learners, who learn best when theyre moving and actively doing things.Now just to make it clear, we all learn visually, auditorily and kinesthetically. It’s just that people have certain preferences or modalities where they learn best. So a kinesthetic bloke  can still learn visually, albeit not a s effectively as when he’s jumping around, running after people and generally making a mess of things.Going back to flashcards, what do you think will happen to the learning process when we have cards that hit on multiple sensory modalities?In other words, whats the effect of having multimedia elements like images, sounds and videos to the flashcard ?Answer: Enhanced learning.Memory will be served well by multimedia as the brain can have multiple points of anchoring.Studies have shown time and again that hitting many varied  sensory nerves makes the event, object or, in this case, language lesson more memorable.A great flashcard system is one that hits the eyes with images. Not just ordinary, boring pictures mind you, but funny, cute, interesting or shocking ones.For example, if you want an “el gato” (cat) vocabulary card, dont just place there a picture of an indistinct feline. Choose one that’s funny or cuteâ€"like many of those cat memes. Thatll make it so much more memor able.Use interesting fonts and colors as well for your “el gato” text.If you can have a video of a cat hopelessly chasing a laser pointer, even better.2. Language is always presented with good  contextThe brain cant hold information that exists in a vacuum, at least not for very long. That’s why memorizing a bunch of meaningless numbers is futile. Itll only take a few minutes before you forget them.Youve got to make all your learning meaningful.One way of doing this through flashcards is by creating context for your card. That’s why Voxy’s system (which well learn more about later in the post) is so goodâ€"it allows you to make flashcards out of the pictures in your phone’s photo gallery. That means the pictures that youre using already have personal context. Theyre already anchored. You already hold memories of themâ€"you only have to add a language lesson.The picture of your drunk uncle on New Year’s Eve, for example, can be used as a Spanish vocabulary card for “t ío” (uncle).A great flashcard system makes every card meaningful. Otherwise, itll be just a boring vocabulary list.3. It performs spaced repetitionWhat is spaced repetition?Let’s say you have card A and card B.  Card A, you know by heart.  You get shown Card A, you quickly answer and with 100% accuracy. You get shown Card A, you think your intelligence is being insulted.Card B is a little different.  You’re not so familiar with Card B. It takes you a couple of seconds to give an answer. And youre not even sure of your answer.A spaced repetition system  will make sure that you meet Card B more often than Card A.Spaced repetition is a great way to maintain the “freshness” of your flashcards. It means youll always be learning something new. You will always be challenged.  A great flashcard system is not random. Its algorithmically determined so youll only keep studying words you really need to study. Time is saved in the process.Now that we know all that, let’s see some pr ime examples of both traditional and digitized flashcards.The  Hottest Flashcard Apps When we were kids, nobody wanted to be the nerdy flashcard kid.Now that were all grown up, being a nerd is where its at.They used to call the studious kids nerds, just because they were  using their  big stacks of  mom-made flashcards in class.Maybe you were one of em!They had flashcards for everything: multiplication tables, vocabulary, words beginning with the letter “J,” male and female names of animals, the whole lot!The rest of the class just thought they were begging for wedgies.Then the test season came and wentâ€"those nerds got stellar grades.And you know in your heart of hearts why that is. But you can’t seem to admit it to yourself.It’s those darn flashcards! That’s why they were tearing through the test like it was toilet paper.You learned at a young age that the crude technology of flashcards works. But you can’t seem to get around to using them. Why not? Because theyre so not cool. They’ll destroy your reputation of being the kid who winged it all.In this post, I’m gonna convince you to give flashcards a shot. Because theyre simply that awesome.Let’s go find out why flashcards workâ€"particularly for  learning a new language.Don’t worry, nobody’s looking.

How to Start Off Your Fall Internship With a Strong Foundation

How to Start Off Your Fall Internship With a Strong Foundation via Interns Australia Internships are an extraordinary time to put what you have been learning into practice and to gain some experience in the working world, and hopefully, in the field you would like to work in someday. Interns often receive a lot of guidance and support from those who supervise their work and those who work alongside them that puts them in a good position to succeed after graduating. Like any new experience, there is initially some trepidation on the first day coupled with the goal of making a good impression. Making a good impression could mean a full-time job in the future as well as good references and lifelong friends. With that in mind, there are a few things you can do to ensure your internship is well-worth the time and effort. Seek the right internship opportunity Avoid getting into an internship just because some of the students in your class have one. If you do this, you will most likely take the first one you find and not receive the full benefit of such an experience. Begin your search by asking questions: How does this relate to my academic goals? Is this needed to receive class credit? Will I be able to use this experience on my resume and/or in the working world? Is the company I’m choosing worth the time and effort? Questions like these can help guide you to the right internship. Set personal goals and expectations for the experience The more goals you set for yourself, the more likely you are to succeed. The more expectations you set for yourself, the better you’re going to be at holding yourself to a certain standard. The company or organization has goals that you will be a part of achieving and setting your own goals inside the company goals means you can personally achieve too. Go into an internship expecting to do what your supervisor tells you, but also be prepared to take initiative and make the opportunity one that is worthwhile. Almost every situation can be a learning experience if we make it so. Meet the people you will be working with beforehand People help to make companies what they are so it is a good idea to reach out and connect with some of the people you’ll be working with. Doing so can help you learn more about the company, the type of characteristics it looks for in its employees, and the goals of the company. A face to face meeting is sometimes possible, but if not, simply research them. LinkedIn can be a very good source of information as well as a simple Google search of their name. Develop lifelong connections early Internships are an opportunity for you to develop connections with people that will last a lifetime. You will always be able to refer to those connections if you have a question or even if you need a recommendation. Further, you can place your internship on your resume for future job applications and count the skills you developed as part of your repertoire. Be prepared to do your best work Like anything in life, you must give it your very best shot. Those who make the best grades, many times, aren’t necessarily the smartest, but they work the hardest and are committed to doing excellent work. Giving your best isn’t just an activity; it is a state of mind and enhances your personal well-being. One reason is that when we do our best work, we not only help reach the overall goal and impress the boss, we also feel good about our performance. Seek out advice from your supervisor and coworkers Be ready and willing to ask questions. Many times, interns fear asking questions because they think it will come across as stupid or it will be overlooked because of their age. That is almost never the case. In most instances, people are willing to answer your questions and give you advice when and where you need it. Seeking advice and asking questions is part of what it means to learn. If we dont understand or know something, we ask. Even Google is willing and ready to give us answers; all we have to do is type in the question. Of course, it takes practice but over time, you will learn a lot more by overcoming that fear and reaching out. Internships, like most everything else, are what you make it. With classes and other duties, you can still make your experience a rewarding one with the suggestions above. Once you get past the first day, I promise, it will become easier. And if you’re not in your final year yet, you may want to consider doing another one for the fun, the connections, and the experience.
