Best Computers for School

November 8, 2011 Posted by Kantata Taqwa

It can be very hard to keep up with electronics these days. It feels like things are constantly changing. As soon as you wait for the price to drop, something new and better will be hitting the shelves. Shopping for computers is just part of that frustrating scenario. With all the different types of brands that are available and with all of their models, how can you know what will be the best computer for you? There are many things to consider when you are looking for a computer for school. First of all, since you are going to be online for most of your time, you need a computer that is reliable. You want to find one that has wireless, long battery life, and even a bigger screen. Why a bigger screen? Well, you are going to be staring at it for a while, no sense in squinting your eyes all of the time. Other than these three things it will become a matter of personal taste. I have put a list together of some great computer companies and some of their computers. By the time you read this article the computer will probably be changing into the next technology but I can at least get you started.

Acer has become a great practical laptop manufacturer. One of the newer models is perfect for school. The Aspire A0722 weighs on 3.2 pounds so it won’t be a pain to carry it around to wherever you feel like going to study. It also has an 11.6 inch screen and is under $400. That is a great price for a laptop. This stylish model should also last you about seven hours without being plugged in.

We have all heard that it is bad for you to rest your computer on your leg when you are using it. Yet if you are like me, you still do it. It can be bad because it doesn’t allow the computer to stay cool like it should. Well now you don’t have to worry about that. The HP Pavilion dm1z has thermal assistant software that adjusts the fan speed if it senses that you have the computer on your lap or on a table.

Do you constantly like to change things? Can’t make up your mind about what color computer you want? Well now you don’t have to choose. With the Dell Inspiron 14R you can change the lid of your computer to a different color whenever you feel like it. This computer also boasts having a 14 inch screen and 3 GB of RAM. Oh yea, it has built in Intel WiDI technology so it can connect to your HDTV!

For a little bit higher of a cost, you can have the Apple MacBook Air. This computer lives up to its name weighing only 2.3 pounds and measuring under an inch at its thickest parts. This computer will boost up in less than 20 seconds so you don’t have to lose you patients with it. The newer versions of this computer also run on Apple’s new Lion OS X operating system.

Generating Discussions In (and Out) of Class

October 6, 2011 Posted by Kantata Taqwa

Online discussion groups can be an excellent way to get students engaged in classroom material and topics. I have used online discussion groups for several college classes in the past couple years and the response from students has been overwhelmingly positive.

There are several techniques I have used that help keep the discussion group active and informative. Some of the techniques go against conventional teaching wisdom or standard moderated discussion group practices, but they have worked for me and I’ll explain why I think they worked. I use Yahoo!Groups (formerly egroups) and have been very happy with their services.

Some important elements for successful discussion groups:

  • members receive postings via email
  • frequent and timely responses by instructor
  • moderator as provocateur
  • discussion topics tied to reading assignments
  • assignments posted to group
  • online participation is part of classroom grade

Members receive postings via email
Getting postings by email makes it much easier for students to read and comment on what their classmates and the instructor are saying. If group members have to go a specific discussion group page just to read messages, they can easily lose track of developments in an active thread if they don’t go to the site in a couple days. A long list of posts can discourage them from reading through them and then posting something. Students are much more likely to respond either to individual posts when they receive them as emails, or at the end of the day after reading various postings. The more frequent feedback keeps discussions on topic better, rather than having posts days responding to matters that were discussed days earlier. (more…)
