eSN Today: Software strikes a chord for disabled students


Software strikes a chord for disabled students

A program developed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute allows students with severe physical disabilities to create music just by moving their heads. A digital video camera tracks these movements on a computer screen and translates them into piano scales or drum beats. Its developers hope the program will open a whole new world of creativity for physically challenged individuals.

How a computer for the poor got stomped by tech giants

From the Wall Street Journal: In 2005, Nicholas Negroponte unveiled an idea for bridging the technology divide between rich nations and the developing world: design a $100 laptop and, within four years, get it into the hands of up to 150 million of the world's poorest schoolchildren. World leaders and corporate benefactors jumped in to support One Laptop Per Child, and Mr. Negroponte, a professor on leave from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, hopscotched the world collecting pledges from developing nations to buy the laptops in bulk. But nearly three years later, only about 2,000 students in pilot programs have received computers from the project... | Full Story

High-tech schools pilot program puts kids in charge

From the New York Daily News: In 22 New York City schools, students and teachers are participating in a pilot program designed to create and test-drive the 21st century classroom. About $13.4 million in capital funds, along with federal grants, have been invested into the so-called iTeach-iLearn schools over the past two years. The pilot program outfits classrooms in the 22 schools with devices including SMARTboards, laptops, wireless Internet access and special lockers to keep all the technology safe when the school is closed. Teachers also receive training so they feel comfortable with the new technology.... | Full Story

Technology helps reform large lectures

At Virginia Tech, students in most introductory math courses work through problems individually at one of 500 computer workstations in a giant room that is open 24 hours a day. And at hundreds of colleges nationwide, professors use personal response systems technology, or "clickers," to gauge whether students understand important concepts before moving on. These are just some of the ways colleges and universities are striving to transform large lectures into more personal experiences for students--and technology is playing a key role in such reforms. | Full Story

    WiFi and autism: a quick debunking

    From Ars Technica: On Nov. 21, as most people in the U.S. were focusing on the next day's holiday festivities, Engadget picked up on a potentially unnerving press release entitled "Link Between Wireless Technology and Autism Unveiled in New Scientific Report." Given the increasing prevalence of Wi-Fi use, a clear link between this technology and autism should give pause. But a closer examination of the press release raises enough red flags that the announcement should be viewed with extreme skepticism... | Full Story

    Apostolic Greetings

    Dear in christ,
    I am Mrs. Mariam Coleman from Kuwait. I am married to Mr. Lobi Coleman who worked with Kuwait embassy here in Ivory Coast for nine good year before he died in the year 2002.
     
    We were married for many years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both born again Christian. Since his death I decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home which the Bible is against.
     
    When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $(2.8 Million ) USD Two million Eight hundred thousand in a Finance Security Company here in Abidjan.Recently,my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Eight months due to cancer problem.
     
    Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to a church or a God fearing person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want a church that will use this fund for orphanages, widows, propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained.
     
    The Bible made us to understand that "Blessed is the hand that giveth". I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my late husband's relatives are not Christians and I don't want my late husband's efforts to be used by unbelievers.
     
    I don't want a situation where this money will beused in an ungodly way. This is why I am taking this decision.I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord. Exodus 14 VS 14 says that "the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace".I don't need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health hence the presence of my husband's relatives are around me always. I don't want them to know about this development.
     
    With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the relevant documents that will legalize you to have access over this fund.I will also issue you an affidavit that will proove you the present beneficiary of this fund in the Finance Security Company.I want you and the church to always pray for me because the lord is my shephard.
     
    My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth.  Please always be prayerful all through your life and pray to God to forgive me my sins. 
     
     Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for another church or a God fearing person for this same purpose. Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply.
     
    Remain blessed in the Lord.
    Your's Sister In Christ,
    Mrs. Mariam Coleman.
