Remote Parent Meeting

25.01.2014

"I was not at the meeting due to problems with the Internet." It is quite possible that some parents who did not get to the parent meeting will soon name just such a reason. This spring, the Department of Education and the Department of Information Technology will begin the 2nd phase of the School of New Technologies project.

The head of the Department of Information Technologies (DIT) Artem Ermolaev spoke about new technologies used in the field of primary education during the awards ceremony for the schools that became winners of the first stage.

The city authorities are going to select this year 200 schools that have shown the best results in the competitive selection process, and, in addition, will present the most interesting applications.

The head of the Department of Information Technologies recalled that the status of "school of new technologies" will give the educational institution certain advantages, and first of all, technological and financial support from the city.

For example, this year 20 Moscow schools that won the first stage will receive an Internet channel providing a connection speed of 100 Mbps, technical support for the development of distance learning, as well as additional computing power, including access to the city's web conferencing system. for the purpose of holding parent-teacher meetings online. The finished terms of reference will appear by April 1, after which 20 schools will begin to connect to the city's IT infrastructure. Also, a new course "Useful Internet" will appear in these schools, and internships will be held from the partner companies of the project.

Artem Ermolaev recalled what kind of applications the authorities expect from future project participants. "It is very important that this is a real project, and we can see what effect you want to achieve," said the head of DIT.

The School of New Technologies project was launched last year. Its main focus is to encourage schools to more actively use modern technologies in the educational process. The project is carried out in the form of competitive selection, which consists of several stages. During these stages, the level of development of educational institutions in terms of technology is assessed. Professional participants in the telecommunications and information technology market participate in the selection of winners. The first stage was completed last year. 20 schools became its winners.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Smart ballpoint pen for handwriting digitization 01.05.2016

The French company Oree is known for its unusual products, such as the Oree Wooden Keyboard, a wooden wireless charger for smartphones with a built-in speaker system, and a wooden trackpad. This time, the Oree range has been replenished with a premium smart pen, which, in tandem with a special notepad, can not only write on paper, but also automatically duplicate, transferring data to a mobile device, everything “written with a pen”.

The body of the device, called the Stylograph, is made of copper, and visually it resembles a thickened ballpoint pen, which is based on ordinary ink. The elegant minimalist design and copper frame immediately hint at the rather high cost of the product, which, when using a branded notebook, will relay - digitize - your sketches, drawings and notes straight into the mobile application. The "chip" of the Oree Stylograph is the ability to preserve the tactile sensation of writing with ink on paper, while creating a copy of the handwritten material in electronic format.

As for the notebook, it is a notebook with 190 pages of A5 format, made in a traditional form factor. The accessory accessory costs $25, but the Stylograph turns out to be useless without it: the notepad uses mineral paper, on which the pen leaves barely noticeable traces. The principle of operation of the device implies that traces (prints) from a rod with a working surface of 0,7 mm will be recorded by a high-speed camera mounted in the handle. The built-in battery should last for two days of operation in moderate mode.

Data transfer from the smart pen is carried out via a Bluetooth connection with smartphones/tablets based on Android/iOS or Windows PC. The cost of new items is as much as $ 300, to which you will have to add $ 25 for a complete notebook. With this pricing, the only good thing is that the Stylograph uses a D1 type core, which can be easily replaced with a new one at any time.
