    Periódico # 17 Marzo 2018 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………… NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN EDUCATION Nowadays in our society, new technologies are an important aspect to consider in the academic world because it is true that we live in the society of technological changes. But, is using new technologies in education and advantage or a disadvantage? By Leticia Jiménez Some teachers argue that using new technologies in education is affecting young people´s concentration span, but I´m not convinced because new technologies bring us some benefits. For example, it helps motivate students, since it is more dynamic and entertaining. What is more, it offers us distance learning thanks to the Internet. In addition to this, distance learning offers opportunities to those who cannot attend class regularly. Fortunately, there has been a huge increase in the use of new technologies. Personally, I prefer face-to-face education but distance learning is a good alternative if you want to study in your free time. True, it is a different kind of education, but we should see it as a complement to face-to-face education. So, what is the answer? I am sure that new technologies are good in the academic world and they have some advantages, if and when we make good use of them. The riddle of axing time wasting All of us live in a hurry. Our way of life requires paying attention to a lot of things: job, family, friends, gym... So, time management has become 'El Dorado'. By Pedro Padilla We cannot avoid 21st century obligations, but at least we are able to manage our time better, for instance, in the workplace.

  • Phila PA Chronicles
    Phila PA Chronicles Sharing memories of people, places and events that left their mark on the Philadelphia region in the 20th century June 28, 2013 He made his dreams come true: Daryl Hall My favorite musical group of all time, hands down, is Daryl Hall and John Oates. I’ve admired them since I first saw them on the Merv Griffin Show in 1980. That they were Philly boys made it even better. In pop music, duos tend to be “married off” for life. Though it’s hard to talk about Hall without Oates, today I’m going to concentrate on Hall—the taller, blonder half of the duo. Daryl Hall's solo Sacred Songs album cover Where did Daryl grow up? Daryl Franklin Hohl grew up in Cedarville, Chester County, on the outskirts of Pottstown. After graduating from Owen J. Roberts High School in 1964, young Daryl headed to Temple University, eager to shake off the constraints of his small town. Daryl has said, “I had vague ideas of a music career. I was always a musician. Temple was considered to be the city college. I wanted to move to Philadelphia for the music.” How did Daryl get his start in music? Once in the city, Daryl immersed himself in Philly’s musical scene, gravitating toward soul, R&B and the burgeoning Sound of Philadelphia. He sang with the Delfonics and the Stylistics and got to know Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Tommy Bell. Hall remembers spending time on Philly street corners, harmonizing with other singers. Daryl also hung out with the Temptations when they performed at the Uptown Theater in North Philadelphia.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).
