Figure of great importance from the pedagogical point of view, Maria Montessori already evident from a young age his inclination towards the sciences, including biology and excels in school mathematics. Comes to the choice of university overcoming the obstacles of the hard time, especially people from his family, and enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Rome, graduating in 1896, was one of the first women to graduate in medicine. During his academic excel in different subjects, especially in Hygiene and Pediatrics, which then will be the basis for his famous theories and pedagogical approaches in the following years.


Thinking and Pedagogy

The Montessori Method is originated from initially 'observation of children with mental health problems and then be applied to all children. This choice was motivated by the Montessori with a simple explanation, whereby if a method could work on people with problems evident on a psychic level would give excellent results even on "normal" children. Montessori for the child is "A complete being, capable of creative energy and possessed of moral dispositions" adults are often being covered, and the inactive tablets. The basis of Montessori thought, and as a result of his famous method, there is child's freedom, By which you must leave circular for harmonious and balanced growth. With it you can develop your creativity exponentially, inherent in our humanity, but each person still has to be governed, with the right amount of attention to his wishes and his natural propensity for growth. In life freedom is as important as are the rules, Since our space ends where the other's begins, and this must be a rule to grow in mutual respect between human beings. A method that leads gradually to become more autonomous and at the same time to know to take care of others.


Scientific Pedagogy

The thinking part of the Montessori teaching science, ie scientific assumptions and objectives, And then switch to a 'careful observation of the subject, Who must live in one of his school, or, better yet, the school must accommodate the baby and then be designed around the needs of the child and not of a man!

The spaces shall be so designed and then built in a specific and simple, to create suitable laboratories where daily life is easy and useful to learn about simple actions "know how" every day something correct and practical.

The contact with common materials such as wood, cloth or chalk and support are crucial to classics such as Italian or mathematics.


The child is seen and supported on the basis of very specific steps:

* from 0 to 3 years: There is in the child absorbent mind, Where the 'intelligence works at an unconscious level, absorbing every environmental element. And the stage where they form the essential structures of personality.
* 3 to 6 years: Corresponds to pre-school education. In addition to the absorbent mind there is also the conscious mind. With the need to formulate thoughts more and more "logical".

Based on this thought expressed and theorized by Montessori was born in 1907 in Rome, the first Children's home aimed at children of the inhabitants of San Lorenzo district. A special house, built in a way that children can live as they really are: the furniture is designed on the extent of the child, who has the ability to interact actively with the material proposed to him, either single or as a community with other children and friends.


The material is as follows:

* analytical material, We analyze only one quality of the object: weight, shape and size, this stimulates the senses.
* material self corrective, Serves to educate the child self-correction of the error without the intervention of the educator.
* attractive material, It comes to handling and use of simple objects, acts in the game.

The child can choose to be alone and independently of the material, this will stimulate both the self-education is the 'self-control.

Different Ages of Distance Education Degrees

The Distance Learning has over a century of history. Specifically, we can distinguish three generations:

* The first generation was the late nineteenth century, will be based on ordinary, mainly paper, in which the interaction between teacher and student and limited to the exchange of raw and rare meetings in person.

* The second generation is stated in the late 60's, makes use of materials and multimedia (print, television, radio, educational software). Interactions between teacher and students are poor, even if carried out through new media such as telephone, fax, e-mail.

* The third generation , also known as online education, and that tax in the last fifteen to twenty years, takes advantage of computer networks, not only for the transmission of the materials, but also as an environment to create collaborative learning processes. The training takes place mainly in the network, knowledge is actively constructed by the participants themselves and their interactions, both with the teacher and between learners, play a fundamental role.

Even today, the Distance Learning is viewed with some distrust, however, tends to be considered a form of teaching 'second class' compared to the traditional one. This perspective, however, 'does not take adequate account of the fact that Fad and, in this case, the network training, third-generation, differs substantially from the traditional classroom, face to face, to the point that, in some ways a bold confrontation with it.

In addition, the two forms of teaching are not mutually exclusive necessarily mutually exclusive, but can finding a successful integration, which can give rise to an innovative model of education, they are privileged: the formation of knowledge as a recursive process, never completed, which can' be continuously enriched, modified, expanded, as well as a collaborative process, where each learner can make its contribution, in which individual contributions are valued, cooperation for a common goal, the possibility' of a training program that meets individual needs, both at content, and timing of use. In order to understand the advantages that offer Distance Learning and must not only provide materials of high quality' and support technologically advanced and efficient, but also promote a genuine culture of ' e-learning. To do this', you are creating professionals, mediators of the formation, able to address properly the parties concerned to the course that best suits their needs. Often, potential learners are not only poorly prepared in the research, selection and choice of course more 'appropriate in their case, but, sometimes, the same sites that provide training is not exhaustive in presenting their offers.

Despite the undeniable distance learning benefits that can offer, it cannot' certainly regarded as the panacea for all ills not all content is suitable to be dealt with in a distance course, such 'as, in some circumstances, can become a blatantly anti-economic approach, especially in the case of a small number of students. Similarly, not all students are given for a course entirely by distance: individuals who can gain the most benefits are mostly, adults, well reasoned, with some prior knowledge and expertise, covering subject taught.

How to Find Printing Works

One day, my teenage daughter asked me. "Mom, I think I have a large text messaging skills. You think I can find a job in printing?" Well my first reaction (to myself) was, "Are you kidding me ... what skills are in text messaging?" But being the wonderful mother that I (smiles), I said, "this is good - a form of typing skills along with a strong sense of deciphering ... Ah ha! How about entering data in some way or form? Data input, which I believe is the most the key role of any business. Always have data that will be introduced. There are thousands of companies that hire workers input data internally (the value on the job site) and ways to implement remote access (meaning that they can work from home). In my experience, one of the you best methods for printing work for companies are registered with the Temporary Agencies. They - the agency that "just like the name"; find you temporary work to reassure employers that they asked the help of these agencies. Sometimes the destination is short, and sometimes they could be permanent. Once you have registered with them (by the way FREE), they will make every effort to find a job in your line of expertise. It is well with the high skills of printing, these agencies may be almost 95% of the time to find work for you. This is a great way to begin to see, what areas or lines of employers you want to get involved. Now you are faced with a small obstacle, but sometimes not ... agencies will be asked or even give you a test print. They want to make sure that you can print.

Some people are "fake terror", and well let’s just say it's not pretty. If they do not offer evidence for or test your skills typing, they will tell you where to go and if there is a cost at all. Once you have registered and take your test print, and (Passed - smile), I received your certificate then you are now in the "Available List." Available list basically means that you turn and ready to go to work. Now, the average pass in order to print tests is usually between 30-45 words per minute, depending on the employer or agency. But I'm sure you already have those skills great speed! last, to be ready when your phone rings, or even receive an email notification (you have E-mail!) with respect to your destination. To get more jobs in the future, you must show them a good service and agree to take the assignment eagerly. Who knows ... that you just cannot put a permanent position with the company for which you have always wanted to work? But my suggestions, alone shop around and look for those opportunities. Do not settle for dull printing office of ... go and have fun with it, I hope you enjoyed this article and many to come to the website.

Tips for Skiing

We finally it is winter and we can dedicate ourselves to a sport that we could hardly do at other times. Skiing White Mountains, snow shelters, often we need to focus on a weekend or even a single day our performance on the slopes and we have no time to lose and even money.

How can we best prepare?

We try to follow some tips to get the most out of our day 'white' or the weekend 'white' in anticipation of the upcoming holidays. Some may seem trivial, but never take things for granted.

Physical preparation.

If you spend your time on the couch, do not plan to be prepared for skiing. Moderate physical activity and following a proper exercise is what we want.


The goal and the time

First of all, perhaps it is a platitude, but choose the destination first, if ever going to decide in the morning, it is always risky. Find out if there is snow (since this year is not exactly like last year), the expected time and maybe ask if you can test this just before we left, now with webcams positioned directly on the ski slopes, You can see it in real time. If you limit the outing to a day is essential.


Food

If you love skiing and want to use anything as long salami sandwich, but would rather the Protein bars (They are also more comfortable to carry) and to drink water prefer the 'mash' with the addition of mineral salts that are a complement to the assumption correct that the body serves. But if you can not wait to taste the specialties of the area, but then you can safely do avoid back tracks, Is counterproductive. Just maybe go to eat 'later' to exploit the early morning hours of light, so then you can also decide to return.


Clothing

I know it might be trendy also love the snow, but this assessment, especially if you go and come back in the day. The full tracksuit resolved because it has only one end, but then if you thought of you girls, when you go to the bathroom? If you are not in a place stracomodo, with a nice big bathroom, clean and warm, perhaps having only the pants 'management' is not better? Bring always a jersey escort and a pair of Spare stockings, You never know.


Equipment

Consider whether it is more convenient rent skis because if yours are old because they do not skied for a long time, if you just started and not have them already bought, unless you have a car 'equipped', it is often convenient, of course, if the cost is reasonable. They are the most important boots that are 'personal' that do not ski, so pay attention to those that need to be 'right' or larger (if it is not used thick socks), close it.


Other regimens

Always a sun-protection cream, To be placed in exposed areas. At high altitude is even more dangerous and even if there are clouds. And for the eyes, always wear glasses. If you want to sunbathe when you can do to control exposure times. Never make off-piste, Ever, is prohibited, it could hurt you and to others, even if you are talented.

There should be everything, just one last trivial thing, especially if you are a beginner, accompagnatevi someone more experienced, are always good advice and also the company.

How To Transplant of Eyebrows

Thanks to technological innovations in the field of cosmetic surgery, slowly for pure beautification operations have become increasingly common - first the breasts, which for years has been a must, then the nose, then ears, then the reconstruction of the private parts and now the transplant is growing eyebrows. Following an analysis made at the annual meeting of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, And confirmed by the Italian Association of Plastic Surgery, this type of intervention that is now two years in our country is the latest trend of the moment, driven by the choice of stars and celebrities who are returning to the effect of natural eyebrows.


Born as always to treat cosmetic problems resulting from trauma, scarring or disfiguring diseases, transplantation of the eyebrows was then exploited to use only an aesthetic embellishment or modification of exteriority. Found more effective than permanent tattoos to effect real and natural, is finding more and more fans and more people. This operation which is a derivation of the study on hair transplant, is relatively simple and painless. This technique was initiated by Dr. Bessam Farjo, A true 'gurus' in hair transplants in England, which he then applied his experience in the transplantation of other types of 'hair' and which currently charges £ 4,000 for surgery (almost 6,000 €), fortunately in Italy Eyebrow transplantation has lower costs.

But how does the transplant?

Simply you withdraw a small portion of skin with hair normally from neck which are almost hair, you levy then the follicles with hair and are transplanted (Is made up of about fifty bulbs) through micro-incisions in the ark eyebrows going to fill or adjust the shape of the eyebrows. The surgery under local anesthesia, painless and is therefore a minimal physical impact. The only drawback is that they remain always different from the hair with normal eyebrows growth, it is then cut to avoid over stretching. Do not want to come up with 'eyebrows in the eye' as the hair!


The surprising thing is that we are damned soul to have perfect eyebrows, Pliers, pinzettine, gels and so on, or we're looking for a method as painless and most effective hair removal as a correct the use of wire called Threading Yet after years of beauty now seems to have been useless because the latest trend is a return to naturalness. For years it was getting ripped then draw with a pencil, now grow back enough to wait, but if you've kept thin eyebrows for years, not always grow back or even grow back in tufts. But now you want really thick bushy eyebrows? Do not think about Helium of 'Elio e le Storie Tese', perhaps it would be too much, but you assessed whether it is worth to undergo this type of intervention, we are not all Beyoncé or Sienna Miller.
