CATTURARE VIDEO DELLO SCHERMO: 50+ Soluzioni (Win,Mac,Linux) In questo post voglio riportare una lista di tools che penso possa essere esaustiva per coloro che hanno l’esigenza di realizzare screencast, ovvero (per dirla in modo grezzo) vogliono fare un video delle schermo del computer. Ho già affrontato l’argomento “screencasting” ma in questo articolo ho rivisto, aggiornato e completato la lista , sia con soluzioni web based utilizzabili dal browser, sia con software (a pagamento e gratuiti): sta a te trovare ciò che è ideale per le tue esigenze . I servizi web based generalmente offrono già la possibilità di pubblicare sul loro hosting online lo screencast creato, alcuni software permettono l’export diretto su youtube, con altri invece dovrai creare il file video e poi caricarlo manualmente se vuoi metterlo sul web: in tal caso potrai ovviamente utilizzare uno dei tanti siti di video sharing gratuiti che ci sono a disposizione su internet (youtube compreso, ovviamente) .

Fibonacci number A tiling with squares whose side lengths are successive Fibonacci numbers In mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers or Fibonacci sequence are the numbers in the following integer sequence: or (often, in modern usage): (sequence A000045 in OEIS). The Fibonacci spiral: an approximation of the golden spiral created by drawing circular arcs connecting the opposite corners of squares in the Fibonacci tiling;[3] this one uses squares of sizes 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and 34. By definition, the first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are either 1 and 1, or 0 and 1, depending on the chosen starting point of the sequence, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. In mathematical terms, the sequence Fn of Fibonacci numbers is defined by the recurrence relation with seed values or The Fibonacci sequence is named after Fibonacci. Fibonacci numbers are closely related to Lucas numbers in that they are a complementary pair of Lucas sequences. Origins[edit] List of Fibonacci numbers[edit] and

Bit Crush Three language lessons you can learn from the word “schlemiel” In honor of National Poetry Month, let’s tackle some of the trickiest aspects of meaning — after all, poetry is one of the great ways to express subtle and slippery thoughts. Our focus today is translation. How can someone convey the meaning of a word that has no equivalent in another language? Among the toughest words to translate, and there are some doozies, schlemiel is a top contender. It is a Yiddish word for a chronically unlucky person. The trouble behind “schlemiel” presents us with a common translation problem – the translator will inherently run into words in one language that may not have an equivalent word in the other language. (Curious to learn some of the toughest words to convey in English, like prozvonit and hyggelig? Here are three tools that the skilled translator keeps at hand when faced with an untranslatable word. When confronted with a lacuna (a gap in a piece of writing), a translator may resort to free translation or adaptation. Dr. Mrs. Anonymous

10 Tips to Help Master Prezi Last week, I spent two days teaching Prezi at the Langley Center for New Media. As the event came to a close, a few attendees asked if I could sum up more than 16 hours of teaching in a top 10 list. Well, here’s my first stab at 10 tips that should help you become a better Prezi presenter and publisher. 1. Work in 1024 × 768 Import assets (like screenshots) at the resolution you plan to present at, otherwise your imported assets will look awful. 2. While we’re talking about the correct presentation resolution, it’s important to remember that Prezi is designed to help you easily present at 1024 × 768. 3. Working efficiently in Prezi, like many software suites, completely hinges on using the keyboard shortcuts. 4. When I set out to create a presentation, I think in 10-minute frames. 5. While I’m constructing my presentation (constantly adding elements and trying to work through the story and element organization), I work across a widely separated landscape. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 100 more hints

17 Examples of Great Presentation Design We can all agree that, in most cases, there's more than one way of doing something. For example, some people default to the "loop, swoop, and pull" method when they tie their shoes, while others swear by the "bunny ears" technique. Either way you swing it, your shoes get tied, right? Trouble is, in some areas of life, different approaches don't always return the same results. When it comes to presentation design, for instance, there's no shortage of avenues you can take. Download the full collection of PowerPoint presentation design examples here. We're not saying there's one right way to design your next PowerPoint presentation, but we are saying that some designs make more sense than others. 1) "The Search for Meaning in B2B Marketing," Velocity Partners We've said it once, and we'll say it again: We love this presentation from Velocity Partner's Co-Founder Doug Kessler. 2) "You Don't Suck at PowerPoint," Jesse Desjardins Balancing visual backgrounds with text isn't easy.

As of 2008[update], it includes nearly eight thousand educational institutions in over 170 countries. ASPnet schools conduct their own projects, often linking with schools from other countries, or may become involved in a UNESCO-coordinated activity, such as the "World Heritage in Young Hands" project. A national coordinator, typically housed at the National Commission, serves as the liaison between the schools and UNESCO.[1] References[edit] External links[edit] Official website
