Sistema Sexagesimal y Radianes Introducción a los sistemas de medición de ángulos: el sistema sexagesimal y el sistema natural (radianes).Se dan las nociones básicas de cada sistema y se explican las diferencias y relación entre ambos. Vamos a hablar acerca de cómo se miden los ángulos y de cuales son sus unidades de medida. Los griegos utilizaban la unidad de medida del ángulo recto, pero este sistema era bastante incompleto para representar con precisión la medida de un ángulo. Por ellos los babilonios idearon una manera más eficiente dividiendo el ángulo llano en tres partes iguales, a cada una de estas partes la subdividieron en 60 partes más y es lo que se conocen como los grados, luego a los grados los subdividieron en 60 partes más y es lo que se conocen como minutos y por último a cada minuto lo dividieron nuevamente en 60 partes iguales y es lo que conocemos como segundos. Un radian se define como el ángulo que subtiende un arco de la circunferencia que tiene como medida el radio de esta. Deja un comentario

Teaching and Learning: The Mobile Learning Incubator | Mobile UW Funded by the same SITI initiative that produced the mobile UW app, the Mobile Learning Incubator (MLI) was founded to explore and advance issues and conversation about mobile learning among the various teaching and learning groups on campus. MLI is a team of instructional designers, researchers, developers and producers who work in DoIT Academic Technology. Our goal is to partner with faculty to implement mobile learning initiatives driven by Learning Sciences theories and literature to rapidly pilot innovative learning apps and activities, research their use and effectiveness, then seek additional funding to sustain the most promising projects and themes. Read more about how the Mobile Learning Incubator Works Based on previous pilots and projects done with the ENGAGE program and collaborations with the School of Education, the Mobile Learning Incubator is exploring three primary themes: (1) Learning Through Field Research, (2) Learning Through Design, and (3) Games and Learning.

Mind-Blowing Story: "Talking to God..." I met god the other day. I know what you’re thinking. How the hell did you know it was god? Well, I’ll explain as we go along, but basically he convinced me by having all, and I do mean ALL, the answers. Every question I flung at him he batted back with a plausible and satisfactory answer. Which is odd, because I’m still an atheist and we even agree on that! It all started on the 8.20 back from Paddington. What did he look like? Well not what you might have expected that’s for sure. ‘Anyone sitting here?’ ‘Help yourself’ I replied. Sits down, relaxes, I ignore and back to the correspondence on genetic foods entering the food chain… Train pulls out and a few minutes later he speaks. ‘Can I ask you a question?’ Fighting to restrain my left eyebrow I replied ‘Yes’ in a tone which was intended to convey that I might not mind one question, and possibly a supplementary, but I really wasn’t in the mood for a conversation. .. ‘Why don’t you believe in god?’ The Bastard!
