emotion | Definition, Meaning and Translation of emotion | TermWiki.com emotion Emotion is a state of the organism in which the form and frequency of several items of behavior in the ongoing operant repertoire are altered. The term emotion, as it is classically used, has the disadvantage of referring to an inner state which usually cannot be observed. The term emotional stimulus overcomes some of these difficulties because it describes a stimulus which alters many ongoing performances in the organism's repertoire other than those directly affected by reinforcement or extinction.

How to create 'flip books' on your iPad with new app A new app for iPad lets kids — and kids at heart — create ‘flip book’ animations on their touchscreen tablet. Creating “flip books” is a fun pastime for kids – drawing on every sheet of a pad of paper and making your doodles come to life by flipping quickly from the first page to the last – and now this animation technique has gone digital with FlipBook HD for iPad. That’s right, your fingers can remain ink-free, and you might just save a few trees in the process. While it’s a tad confusing to get started – even with its built-in Help menu – once you get the hang of it, FlipBook HD is an enjoyable and powerful animation app, even for those whose talent is limited to stick figure drawings. The idea behind the FlipBook HD app ($4.99) is straightforward: By using your fingertip or stylus pen on the 9.7-inch touchscreen, you can create digital flipbooks and share them with friends and family.
How One App Uses Digital to Empower Education The Spark of Genius Series highlights a unique feature of startups and is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. Name: Three Ring Quick Pitch: Create and share digital portfolios of students’ work quickly and easily. Genius Idea: Three Ring allows teachers and students to digitize student work by snapping pictures or videos with their mobile or tablet devices. Crumpled assignments drifting to the bottom of students’ backpacks may soon be an experience of the past. With a smartphone or a tablet, the app allows teachers to take a photo or video recording of student work and then seamlessly view and share the work online. Three Ring is already in the hands of almost 2,000 teachers in New York, Delaware and Maryland. Three friends — Alec Turnbull, Michael Lindsay and Steve Silvius — who share a passion for education reform joined to create Three Ring. Image courtesy of Flickr, flickingerbrad
iPad Apps for Education Add As the first real contender in the category of streamlined computing tablets, the iPad has captured its share of hype. The iPad’s potential remains undeniable, particularly in education. Education is discovery, education is interaction, and education is exploration. I believe that the ultimate goal of the iPad (and its future ilk) is to be so intuitive that the user will forget they are interacting with a piece of technology. The iPad (or any technology) will not replace live instruction, as some have suggested, anytime soon. Few barriers stand between my vision for the classroom of tomorrow and the iPad concept as it stands today. For a more concrete sense of what the iPad can do, I’ve made my picks for the best existing iPad apps for education, and provided examples of where I hope developers take their apps in the near future. Top 3 Education Apps of Today 1. 3D Cell Simulation and Stain Tool 2. It’s a tight race in the Astronomy field between these two apps. Star Walk Screenshot 3.
How to organise Apps and manage restrictions for a Primary or Early Years iPad ... #ukedchat #ipaded #edtech - Enabling Environments For the Summer Term I am planning to support staff at the primary school I work at with understanding the basics of using an iPad in a primary classroom. This blog post is going to act as a base for all of my advice, so it will probably change over the coming weeks. For information on managing multiple devices and purchasing app licenses, see my blog post here: I saw a blog post at EdTechLoung.com this Easter holiday which gave a huge bank of recommended Apps for Early Years and Primary Education. When I supported the staff at Tiny Tots Day Nursery with the setting up of their iPad, I offered similar advice to them. Here is how I set up the iPad in my class: Installing, grouping and managing Apps and Folders Browse AppStore’s ‘education’ category or search for Apps using the search function. You will find that your iPad Home screen is full of various Apps and it ‘looks messy’. 1. Like this: Like Loading...
Is TypeDrawing 3.0 Your Type Of Drawing App? TypeDrawing, a unique app for iPhone and iPad, has just received a major update. It’s now proudly set at version 3.0. One of our keen readers, Rich, kindly informed us about the update to TypeDrawing. “I’ve had this since the day it launched,” he added, “it’s one of my keepers, as I’m a fan of typography and nothing else does what it does.” Indeed, TypeDrawing is one-of-a-kind. There’s nothing quite like it in the App Store in that it’s the only iOS app that allows for, as its name suggests, typography-driven drawing. TypeDrawing 3.0 is a huge improvement over the app’s previous version. If you can’t see the video embedded above, please click here. Drawings in TypeDrawing are now saved automatically in the app’s gallery. While you’re in the process of drawing something in TypeDrawing, a lot of new text, font, and color options are now at your disposal.
App Filter: Best Meditation App for iPhone Meditation and smartphones don’t immediately seem like the best fit. When your phone is normally a source of great distraction, it isn’t an obvious choice for a tool to help you calm your thoughts and your body. But most of us need a little help to tune out the hustle and bustle of daily life, and there are some great apps out there that will help you achieve that goal. I’ve been immersing myself in peace and calm this week to bring you the best meditation apps. Meditator Simple is best, especially when it comes to apps for meditation. Of course, there is power in that simplicity. There is one mark against Meditator: it can’t continue without your input if it’s interrupted, so you might be well-served to put your device in airplane mode while meditating. Relax Melodies Relax Melodies is extremely popular, and it isn’t hard to see why. If there’s a sound you find particularly meditative, Relax Melodies probably has it. Headspace

Education : les écoliers adoptent l'iPad Alors que certains lycéens ne croient pas au livre électronique, les plus jeunes ne font pas d’histoire pour adopter en quelques jours des iPad comme leur nouvel outil d’apprentissage. Les futurs collégiens de l’école des Dauphins de Bernin (38) bénéficient pendant leur année scolaire d’un iPad grâce à la mission TICE et le CRDP de l’académie de Grenoble en liaison avec la DGESCO. Dans une vidéo d’une dizaine de minutes (à voir sur le site du CNDP), Alain Jourdan, enseignant en charge de l’expérimentation, liste les avantages suivants : - Motivation, rapidité de mise au travail, augmentation de la concentration et de la durée de celle-ci, autonomie des élèves avec l’outil, vitesse d’appropriation et aisance d’utilisation (cet outil fait partie de leur univers et ne leur pose aucun problème). - Rapport au travail bouleversé pour les élèves. Leur regard face au travail scolaire change : ils ne le subissent plus mais se l’approprient, l’apprécient, et en profitent donc bien plus.
14 Ways to Use Garageband in the Classroom Garageband is a great app that I think any student or teacher using an iPad should consider buying. It is a multi-track audio editing app that is as robust as you will ever need (unless of course you teach audio production). Later this week I will be posting a new page full of Garageband resources for teachers, students and learning. For now, you can get your brain juices flowing by reading the list below, watching the embeded ‘how to’ videos, and then go start playing with Garageband yourself! Download Garageband from iTunes here. 1) Create Soundtracks/Scores to Your iMovie Project – if you’re not already making iMovie projects with your students, you should read ’13 Ways To Use iMovie in the Classroom‘. 2) Teaching Dance in PhysEd - Dance is sometimes a difficult unit to teach because students aren’t interested or are embarrased or just to shy. 3) Podcasts – Use garageband to create podcasts.
