theconversation Cette semaine, nous célébrons les 400 ans de la mort de Shakespeare. Après avoir été analysé, joué, étudié, critiqué, mis en scène, adapté et réadapté, le barde a fait son entrée dans le monde du serious game : que peut-il encore remettre en jeu ? L’entreprise Serious Games International a mis 18 mois pour donner vie à l’application mobile « Eye Shakespeare ». Conçue en partenariat avec The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, elle permet de découvrir la ville natale du dramaturge. En marchant, le joueur découvre à la fois les lieux physiques, l’œuvre de l’auteur (l’application incluant des copies des textes originaux) et voyage dans le temps grâce à la réalité augmentée. Marcher pour (se) découvrir L’idée clef du dispositif est de faire marcher le participant sur les pas du barde. En proposant cette application, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust incite les touristes à découvrir la ville de Stratford-upon-Avon dans le détail, tout en décalant le regard que l’on porte sur elle.

Free ebooks by Project Gutenberg Samtiden i de nordamerikanska reservaten - "The Absolutely True Diary of a Pa... Sherman Alexies fantastiska roman The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian passar utmärkt i alla engelskkurser på gymnasiet, och nu har jag introducerat den i min grupp som läser engelska 7. Det är ett fint sätt att knyta ihop säcken innan de springer ut på sommarlov för sista gången. Ett bra sätt att introducera den här romanen är att samla in vad eleverna känner till om Nordamerikas ursprungsbefolkning. Jag lät mina elever fundera över detta enskilt en liten stund, och sedan delade de med sig i par och slutligen i helklass. De tog med allt de visste, historiska aspekter så väl som nutida företeelser. Vi fastnade lite vid reservaten och redde ut vad det innebär. Efter att ha läst till och med kapitel 3 så stannar vi upp och sorterar ut vilka karaktärer vi har stött på och vilka funktioner dessa har. Vi har nu nått fram till och med kapitel 8, och det börjar bli väldigt intressant. Om eleverna går med på det så kommer ni att kunna ta del av slutresultaten här i bloggen framöver.

The most metal word in existence has been determined by lyric data-crunching | News | Culture | The Independent A data science blogger has created a working list of the 20 most metal songs in the world, after analysing over 200,000 songs. My initial guesses were ‘obsidian’ and ‘pain’ but actually neither feature in the top 20, which was compiled by Degenerate State using the following methodology: The 222,623 songs from 7364 rock and metal bands on database Dark Lyrics were cross-referenced with the Brown Corpus – a collection of documents published in 1961 covering a range of different genres and totalling roughly one million words. In combining statistics to show the frequency of words in both sources, he believes he has determined the “metalness” of each word. ‘Burn’ came out top, joined in the list by its hell-themed cousins ‘flames’ and ‘ashes’, followed by ‘cries’ and ‘veins’. Unsurprisingly, ‘demons’ and ‘beast’ came higher than ‘gods’ and ‘pray’. Here’s the top 20 in full: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. (via TeamRock) Reuse content
