    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.

Thankfully, producer Rodney Mills and promo vet -turned A&R man Michael Caplan have avoided the usual pitfalls inherent in bringing back a legend, and have delivered a diverse, classy contemporary album. There's ballads, blues, rockers and remakes, and like we told you last week, no living white boy can sing the blues like Gregg. In addition to the title track you'll want to give immediate attention to the respectful cover of "Don't Want You No More/Not My Cross #1 MOST ADDED To Bear", and put an ear to,"Can't Keep Running" and "Anything SAMMY HAGARrWinner Takes Goes". 102 ADDS/D-23 HOT TRAX LOU GRAMM, "READY OR NOT", ATLANTIC Judging from "Midnight Blues" second week stats: 44 play ups (#1 increases), 98 heavy/power reports, debut #6 Most Requested, 12 new, 134 cume, and that 13-5* Trax jolt -- just about everybody's capitalizing on Lou's best rocker since "Urgent".

  • BERGENPAC.ORG My Fellow Supporters of the Arts
    2018-2019 BERGENPAC.ORG My Fellow Supporters of the Arts, The dog days of summer may be over, but things are heating up here at The Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC) as we share with you our 2018–2019 lineup. From legends with decades of excellence under their belts to stars still on the rise, there is something for everyone. I know you want to check out who is coming to the stage, but I want to quickly tell you about our Mission as a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that strives to make the live performing arts and arts education accessible to everyone in our diverse community. September is an exciting time because school is back in session. The Performing Arts School (“PAS”) at bergenPAC, located down the block from the theater at 1 Depot Square, provides 1,300 students ages 3 to adult with introductory- through preprofessional-level classes in music, dance and theatre. Our chorus ensemble also performs on stage with headliners. In keeping with our Mission, scholarships are available so that no child is ever turned away because of financial hardship. As schools across the state face budget constraints, beyond bergenPAC, our outreach arm, brings arts education to 124 schools in 79 districts throughout 8 counties. We reached a total of 14,086 students last year with in-school residencies, workshops and assemblies, as well as trips to bergenPAC for our School Time Series. This was the first time many of these students experienced a live professional performance. Our Arts Access program is lauded by many as the best of its kind in the country.
