The Power of Digital Story | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    Telling our story is an essential part of our humanness. It allows us to feel part of the community that knows our story, and it fosters empathy for those that surround us. Story is a powerful force in shaping mental models, motivating and persuading others, and teaching the lessons of life. Telling story extends back to a time when oral history dominated the tools of communication. And now the flood of technology tools that allow for instant communication has spun us back into a golden age where story again dominates the media landscape.

    The state guides developed by authors from the Federal Writers' Project - a WPA group that came to be during the depression - are fascinating snapshots of the country as it was in the early part of the 20th century. They contain quite a lot of history and local stories and can be a wonderful way to compare the regions with how they currently are.

    "Digital Storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Throughout history, storytelling has been used to share knowledge, wisdom, and values. Stories have taken many different forms. Stories have been adapted to each successive medium that has emerged, from the circle of the campfire to the silver screen, and now the computer screen."

    It is great that people have so many possibilities to learn today.

    Though a lot of people still think that online education has cons (maybe it is partially true), I personally find it to be very effective. The biggest advantage for me is that students have the freedom to juggle their careers and school because they aren't tied down to a fixed schedule. It also so happened that I worked with the guys from https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/art/ and wrote an article on the topic. If done correctly, online classes can be as effective as regular school classes, even more for some students. The scientists concluded that distance learning is efficient with a quality curriculum in combination with the right method of education and pedagogical approach.

    Do you usually do your homework on your own? I'm in my first year of university, and there are subjects I can't understand, and I need help with my assignments.

    I am not very interested in history and therefore I would rather order a term paper than write it myself. You can also see details and order your own paper. It greatly simplifies my life and adds more free time. That is why I order there not the first and not the last time. Everything is always of high quality and on time.

Contrarian Investor Predicts Economic Crash in China - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • As most of the world bets on China to help lift the global economy out of recession, Mr. Chanos is warning that China’s hyperstimulated economy is headed for a crash, rather than the sustained boom that most economists predict.

      How will the Chinese economic crash effect the world economy?
  • “Bubbles are best identified by credit excesses, not valuation excesses,” he said in a recent appearance on CNBC. “And there’s no bigger credit excess than in China.”
  • Mr. Chanos, 51, whose hedge fund, Kynikos Associates, based in New York, has $6 billion under management, is hardly the only skeptic on China. But he is certainly the most prominent and vocal.

  • Most economists and governments expect Chinese growth momentum to continue this year, buoyed by what remains of a $586 billion government stimulus program that began last year, meant to lift exports and consumption among Chinese consumers.
  • Mr. Chanos often responds to critics of short-selling by pointing to the critical role they played in identifying problems at Enron, Boston Market and other “financial disasters” over the years.
  •  
    "James S. Chanos built one of the largest fortunes on Wall Street by foreseeing the collapse of Enron and other highflying companies whose stories were too good to be true."
