ECTACO Info | Importance of Effective communication skills

By: Gita Kumari       web: http://www.webzarticles.com   We can have brilliant ideas, but if we can't get them across, our ideas won't get us anywhere. The above said line by a famous philosopher throws light on the importance of communication among the people. What do we understand by the word communication? Is it merely exchanging words with others or merely talking to others? Well it is beyond that. Have you ever thought why words spoken by some people or for that matter words spoken by famous people make difference in our lives and move our hearts and minds. Why do people get mesmerized by Bollywood mega star Amitabh Bachchan? It's not just his iconic personality which is admired or praised by his fans around the world. It is the way or fashion in which he delivers his dialogue that sets him apart. So here we agree that it's not just words that make difference but the Art of speaking or expression which puts weight to your words. If asked what is co

ECTACO Info | It’s official – Spanglish seems here to stay

Image
by: The New Mexican http://www.santafenewmexican.com www.ectaco.cz , www.ectaco.es Hard to believe, but Spanglish — that hybrid of English and Spanish that nuevo mexicanos and other Americans speak every day — has only now become official. The Royal Spanish Academy, arbiter of the Spanish language, has made it so by announcing it will add the word Espanglish as an entry in the 2014 edition of the Dictionary of the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language. Here in New Mexico, folks didn’t need the imprimatur of the Academy to speak Spanglish — people have been switching between the languages, turning English words into Spanish and peppering sentences with both since the Americans came here back in the 19th century. (Vamos al lonche, anyone?) The Academy, however, frowns on what it sees as any dilution of Spanish, including Spanglish, and for years had ignored the reality of Spanish’s changing nature in the New World.   Supporters of Spanglish — who see its vibrancy as the

ECTACO Info | 4 Reasons Why Every Child in the United States Should Speak Spanish

post by Ana Flores http://spanglishbaby.com   ...   Look, I’m a fervent believer in more American kids learning Chinese. But the language that will be essential for Americans and has far more day-to-day applications is Spanish. Every child in the United States should learn Spanish, beginning in elementary school; Chinese makes a terrific addition to Spanish, but not a substitute. In recent years, the Mandarin language has acquired a level of prestige for over-achieving and competitive parents who want their children to be able to fairly compete in our 21st Century’s business world. However, the argument is made that the real social and economic advantage in today’s world comes from knowing how to communicate en español . The reasons are very clear: 1. Spanish is the second most-spoken language in the United States. In fact, according to the l atest U.S. Census Bureau numbers, 34 million people in the U.S. speak Spanish at home, making this the country with the s

ECTACO Info | New Study Shows Tablet Use Causes Melatonin Suppression

Image
By Michael Kozlowski http://goodereader.com/     There is no denying that for long term reading sessions on an electronic device, e-readers are the way to go. A new study from the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows that a two-hour exposure to electronic devices with self-luminous “backlit” displays causes melatonin suppression, which might lead to delayed bedtimes, especially in teens.   In order to simulate typical usage of these devices, 13 individuals used self-luminous tablets to read, play games, and watch movies. “Our study shows that a two-hour exposure to light from self-luminous electronic displays can suppress melatonin by about 22%. Stimulating the human circadian system to this level may affect sleep in those using the devices prior to bedtime,” said Mariana Figueiro, associate professor at Rensselaer and director of the LRC’s Light and Health Program.   So what is melatonin and why is it a big deal? Melatonin is a hormon

ECTACO Info | Electronic textbooks - Russian school experiment: iPad out of the game.

Recall that in the educational institutions of the United States is now becoming more popular iPad. According to local analysts, in the schools of this country, he even begins to displace the PC. In the Russian experiment, the iPad is not included in the list of devices used. "More than a year ago, there were quite long and informative discussion of the mobile device to the project. iPad is not chosen in the first place, because there was no electronic educational resources that can be played on it. Most of those made using the technology of Adobe Flash, and the iPad does not support it ", - said Victor Tarmin. Autumn 2011 Adobe announced the termination of the development of Flash-player for mobile devices. Company representatives then pointed out that all the popular mobile device supports HTML5. "The standard for HTML5 is still not officially confirmed, as far as I know. And it will only do a couple of years. A year ago we were in a situation with very tight deadlin
