Opus Dei - CULTIVAR LA FE - Educar en las nuevas tecnologías Las nuevas generaciones han nacido en un mundo interconectado al que sus padres no estaban acostumbrados. Acceden muy pronto a internet, a las redes sociales, a los chats, a las video consolas. Su capacidad de aprendizaje en este ámbito avanza al mismo ritmo vertiginoso con que se desarrollan las tecnologías. Desde tempranas edades los niños y jóvenes están expuestos a un universo aparentemente sin fronteras. Conviene asomarse positivamente a la “era digital”, porque como señala Benedicto XVI, «si se usa con sabiduría, puede contribuir a satisfacer el deseo de sentido, de verdad y de unidad que sigue siendo la aspiración más profunda del ser humano»[1]. La tecnología vertebra en gran medida la vida de los hombres y mujeres de hoy. Cada vez más, los dispositivos tecnológicos permanecen conectados a internet. Virtudes en juego: importancia del buen ejemplo La familia es escuela de virtudes: crecen mediante la educación, mediante actos deliberados y con el esfuerzo perseverante. @jucavas
thrasymakos | Just another WordPress.com site VOA Student Union Today’s post comes to us from Jemince, (or in Mandarin ‘如馨 贾’) from Beijing, China. She was studying English Chinese translation in Beijing International Studies University for her Master’s Degree until she arrived at Binghamton University together several month ago. She’s currently majoring in Comparative Literature and studying law on her own so as to get her Bachelor’s Degree once she returns to China. Today, she offers some thoughts on a question she recently asked herself: “Why Can’t Chinese Students Make Friends With Westerners? Some of her thoughts below. Since there is a growing trend for Chinese students to study abroad, many youngsters start to live their lives completely differently from their families or friends in China. I was about to study in the US together with other three Chinese students from Beijing, and both the positive and negative sayings about the country and its people just made me so curious but meanwhile anxious about the unknown life that was approaching me.
Opus Dei - CULTIVAR LA FE - Nuevas tecnologías y coherencia cristiana La tecnología está cada vez más presente en el día a día de gran parte de la humanidad. El fácil acceso a teléfonos móviles y computadoras, unido a la dimensión global y a la presencia capilar de Internet, han multiplicado los medios para enviar instantáneamente palabras e imágenes a grandes distancias en pocos segundos. De esta nueva cultura de comunicación se derivan muchos beneficios: las familias pueden permanecer en mayor contacto aunque sus miembros estén muy lejos unos de otros; los estudiantes e investigadores tienen acceso fácil e inmediato a documentos, fuentes y novedades científicas; por fin, la naturaleza interactiva de los nuevos medios facilita formas más dinámicas de aprendizaje y de comunicación que contribuyen al progreso social[1]. La unidad de vida en el ambiente digital Las nuevas tecnologías son fuente de grandes posibilidades. La llamada a la santidad da sentido a todas las obras de los bautizados y las unifica. Vivir las virtudes y ser almas de criterio J.C.
Higher Education Initiative | Higher Ed Watch Today, the College Board released its annual sets of trends reports, one on college pricing and one on student aid. Dense, chart-filled works, the documents tell a story of what today’s postsecondary students are facing. But each report typically carries a message with it, one that often tries to dampen the sense of unabated cost escalation. This year’s desired headline is 2.9 percent. But herein lies the difficulty with percentage increases and college costs. In fairness, that $247 increase is the lowest that families have faced in current dollars since the 2000-2001 year. Private nonprofit 4-year colleges provide an even better illustration of the wonders of the percentage increase bait and switch. Understanding the dollar versus percentage dynamic is especially important for interpreting charts like the one below. But again, smaller absolute changes on a lower base lead to higher percentage increases than they would on a larger amount.
