By: Shirley Vargas Escandón Permanent Education Coordinator CEAD Florencia For many of us the term inclusion is presented as an encompassing attitude to listen, discuss, participate, cooperate, ask, trust, accept and accommodate the needs of diversity, specifically it is related people, in all their aspects. For this reason it is important to take into account that the education has complex, which involves radical changes in the conceptual, the methodological and organizational areas to establish guidelines for intervention in other educational institutions of different levels, which they are mainly directed to the creation of working conditions that look for better conditions and the people inclusion with special needs for education. cccccccccccccccccccccc Particularly in the CEAD of Florencia, we are working on including people with special educational needs and we developed the project "Continuing

Scientific articles production workshop

As part of the "Thursday Research" developed during this year in the Ibague CEAD, tutors from the School of Education: Liliana Eugenia Alvarez and J o r g e H u g o H e r n รก n d e z V. i n accordance with the Zonal Coordinator of SIUNAD, Doctor Milena Alcocer, conducted a scientific articles production workshop for 4 weeks, with the participation of tutors from the different Schools of CEAD; this activity became a space for reading, analysis, discussion and further development of scientific texts.

The workshop is part of the strategies implemented by the CEAD to strengthen the research area, noting that scientific writing is very different because it has only one purpose: to inform the result of research with a premise: write for others. This is not to amuse, sadden and educate the reader; the goal is to communicate clearly the result of an investigation. To write a good scientific article should not be born with a gift or a special creative ability; on the contrary, all such research, at some point the training process, are able to write such a text.

From the points raised, the production workshop is intended to offer general methodological rules that allow writing a good scientific article, also, formulate a set of recommendations to enhance communication, and within it, and information disclosure of scientific results. As a final product and building material recently worked in the days of

Globally, there are humanitarian organizations that care about Human Rights, particularly for the abuses and violations that the Colombian armed conflict has created for the last 40 years.

Tips for learning English By: Yenilce Cede単o Tutor ECE CCAV Neiva 1. Don't be afraid to speak in English.

Fear can be a major obstacle to learning a language. Trust in yourself and when you are near of a native or a person who has lived for a long time in English-speaking countries, talk to that person, it is an excellent opportunity to practice. You can start with cyber-chats in a written way and then you can try verbally.

2. Increase your vocabulary. A large vocabulary is basic to learn any language, and it is especially true in English. In order to do it, you can make crosswords, scrambled letters, Hangman, lotteries, games in pairs, etc. Below you will find the names of some useful and funpages. h t t p : / / w w w . d l t k holidays.com/valentines/hangman/hangman.htm

3. Record yourself. Listen to http://www.merriam-webster.com/ dialogues or short readings that have the corresponding audio.

Then, record it and listen to it.

Notice pronunciation, intonation, and rhythm, and repeat several times.

4. H a v e , a t h a n d , a g o o d dictionary. Dictionary is the best friend of an apprentice of a foreign language.

Productive and educative television is possible By: Jhon Fredy Bustos Ruiz Tutor ECSAH CCAV Neiva It is not a new to mention all the power that media has as the model of imaginaries and social practices.

It's even less new to insist in metioning the devastating effect that the recent style of the Colombian television has had on the new generations and, why not in the world; in which the violence, the easy money, lack of ethics and positive values and the absence of morality are starring. There is nothing new at all that nowadays children force themselves to imitate behavior models such as Bart Simpson, from 20th Century Fox; models and characters such as: “El Tetris” and “El Raspu” from the well known series: “Pandillas,

Or for not qualifying as one of “Las muñecas de la Mafia”.

violence, drug trafficking and the pansexualism are those that hold the profitability of the industry and reassure thousands of employees that depend on this industry. It is factual that you have also heard of those that purge sins by publishing the advert that we all have listened to many times: “This show may contain sex and violence scenes” and the rest that everybody learnt by heart.

And, certainly, you have also heard reflective and very productive debates at midnight. Addressed to the defense of the spectators, in which prestigious guests agree on the evil slander of the well – publicized television products, that in spite of all that, continue in prime time in the national television.

However, for our sorrow, that is not new either.

It is very important to highlight these kind of activities and even more the initiative of students to boost them; so far the idea is to institutionalize the UNAD, as an important piece of the processes that involve the professional training and the projection, because this kind of projects help the UNAD to have that mega university that we have always dreamed of.

Those three days had exceptional presentations, with panelists from national and international level as Dr. Antanas Mockus, the director of Visionaries for Colombia Corporation; Jean Claude Vessudo, president of AVIATUR; Cecilia López, ex minister and senator of the republic; Jaime Cuartas, Director of COLCIENCIAS; Ann C.

Visualizing information on Twitter

VIMEDIOS

By: Engineer John Fredy Montes: Coordinator VIMMEP South Zone The irruption of Twitter in Internet has turned information in real time into one of the most relevant content to users. The major search engines like Google and Bing have closed agreements with microblogging network to display these results in a search, in order to provide better functionality. But beyond its indexing, Internet users have multiple tools to see for themselves, messages from Twitter.

The information generated in Twitter grows exponentially. For this reason, to facilitate the task of managing and understand most immediately the graphics and texts published in 140 characters available in the network, different services performed by external enterprise developers allow to display part of the contents of Twitter more graphically. Initially, these services were only a visual sample information, but currently there are various solutions designed to facilitate the task of following trends, or hot topics more easily than from website.

Some of the most interesting forms of visualization are proposals which geo-position in a map or globe representing messages generated in Twitter, although often only by sensationalist nature rather than to help understand the information generated.

TwittervisiĂłn was one of the first

Tens of pages and services allow you to view different ways information generated in this social network. services mixed Twitter with a map.

This page provides automatically on Google map a random sample of the recent "tweets" published. Users can see how the map moves a zone to another planet to display a message from the place where is the user.

geographic places. Take a look; you can understand any relevant topic or addressed messages from a specific zone in the planet, along with the most sent links to that place.

Twitter StreamGraph is a tool to view tends based on the key words. This service is interesting because it allows viewing during a period of time all the information that has been generated about a word or “hashtag�. For that, it uses the last 1.000 generated for an asked word.

Something more effective has been Twitterearth. This website is visualization in 3D of planet Earth, showing random updates made on Twitter from his place of origin. The globe is renewed constantly to show the differences in day and night on the planet. You can also download a Trendistic is more accurate, because version that works as screensaver. in spite of using a small graphic, it shows with more accuracy and Trends preciseness the most recent interest topics in Twitter. This online tool Trendsmap: is thought as a service to allows to cut the search for the last 24 visualize in Google maps, tends hours, seven or thirty days, among through the searches of key words or other options.

Xefer is simpler. This tool includes a statics graphic for days of the week and hours in which conversations between two Twitter users are registered and their followers in a relevant way.

Monitter It is a service that allows following key words, or hashgtag, and even short phrases to view without reloading the tweets where they have been posted.

A simpler alternative is Tweetvolumen, which shows an amount of sent messages with three key words, according to a predefined period of time by this website.

When using tweeter as a news service, TwitterTim is thinking of collecting all the sent links by the users that follow themselves in Twitter. The goal is to make as a personalized website, with a newspaper format. The most relevant news will be published with a typographic bigger than the rest.

There are lot examples of services and platforms that feed the efforts of its own consumers to be more effective

By: Engineer John Fredy Montes: Coordinator VIMMEP South Zone ¿What is the secret of Google, Facebook or Twitter? ¿Why these three companies have been more successful than many of its competitors, some of them more sophisticated? Although it sounds paradoxical, almost certainly differential value lies in its lack of sophistication. Its apparent simplicity and its tendency to show its code in open, has allowed a large number of users to adopt them, amend them to their taste and better. The end result is that the company released the creators, but developing their users. This strategy, known as crowdsourcing, can also be seen as existing services such as Foursquare Spotify.

link Internet users' daily texts and other users and give them a relevance that can measure the form. The social network Facebook is at the top because it has always made the creation of applications in the hands of its “inhabitants”, who have felt this way more comfortable than in other more closed and complex netwoks.

Twitter wins because you can use from multiple portable devices thanks to the developments of others, better than the officers, which allows its users to be always aware of what your contacts say.

Crowdsourcing takes advantage of the users' work

The amount of information in real time containing Twitter makes Google such as Yahoo both pay a large sum of money to their creators by allowing them to index the contents of its service. Thus, while users have "tweeted", both have provided value to the platform: "mass" has worked for the founders.

This is known as crowdsourcing .

Where is the benefit to “the mass"?

The benefit to the platform is the possibility of achieving profitability, but also all users benefit from this consolidation. Foursquare is a referral service of entertainment, museums, pharmacies, supermarkets, etc. Hopes that any product, article or service needs the user will find it in their platforms with appropriate recommendations and located on a map.

This is the way these services have become more effective, more complete and more useful to its users, without knowing it, have built gradually. Twitter is nothing if you see any internet user, but the more they use and communicate links to videos, photograpfs, texts, news, etc…, it becomes more valuable service.

To this end, users post their own Google owes its effectiveness to opinions about the different visiting

As the users express their views and recommend or warn against local and certain products, enrich the service fill of useful content. If no user is recommended in Foursquare, so no one else could enter the platform and find the information that wants.

Similarly, if no other link pages on your website, Google could not provide results as accurate and, therefore, seek information would be much more difficult.

And the same goes for Facebook. In summary, the benefit to “the mass� is the efficiency of the service.

Man looking for integral health and welfare

By: Janeth Constanza Gonzalez Pulido Academic Counsellor - UNAD CERES San Vicente Human health can be reduced by several changes, such as emotional, physical, mental, intellectual, social, moral and spiritual. The state of health is an important indicator of the level of satisfaction of basic needs, represented by the state / quality: food, medical coverage, housing, work, education and the environment. The lack of access to basic needs is synonymous with deteriorating health and prognosis of danger and damage.

From this it follows that the organized community must be delegated as unavoidable, create mechanisms through which they provide opportunities to improve health care for all human beings. Below I discuss some steps to improve their health, according to the emotional changes:

discomfort. Physical health is neglected easily and often, most times not for lack of what is necessary, but for the abuse that is food, drink, work, sleep for some kinds of defects or maladjustments that bring problems to the full official body. The excesses of youth: don´t affected me and it does not hurt me in my middle age.

MENTAL HEALTH: those who do not feel any kind of fear or fears are psychologically healthy. Most mental problems are due to ignorance, low self esteem, unfounded fears, insecurity of character, lack of personality, attachment and fear of death. What we should worry less as human beings is death, because it's all we have for sure. We are born and die: absolute reality. The act of dying is so simple and easy as turning off because it was a small candle light. It is a step taken from one place to another. Other beings in nature have the simplicity of PHYSICAL HEALTH: full physical dying without entertainment, without health who has manifested no pain or folklore.

L inking D istances September of 2010

HEALTH INTELLECTUAL man is intellectually healthy to date, the man who knows. Intellectual sick obsolete outdated. Large number of our countrymen suffer from intellectual disease and some are in a "state of how." Violence, jealousy, sexism, vice, dishonesty and corruption are pure signs of illness, illiteracy intellectual product of all kinds.

SOCIAL HEALTH: The social health is excellent tolerant, enter and live in peace and harmony. Fortunately there is much talk of educational institutions, homes and meetings on living. Perhaps peace will come to change our country for generations because it´s another way, the horizon has clouds and storms.

MORAL HEALTH: Who have very good moral health? Moral health when you have this joy and zest for life. The healthy people normally never ever curse or deny. Every awakening is happy and thanks God for a new day.

SPIRITUAL HEALTH: all who are capable of being moved and marveling at the wonders and beauty of the universe are of sound mind. Includes landscapes, skies, nature, people and watch the beauty manifested in each of these beings.

It has been shown that individuals are directly responsible for their actions and behavior. And why not change that reality? If these health states to help us realize the reality, because we know that we are the only key to change the world. No one else can do.
