Prezi (primeiras experiências)

Informative Text on Prezi

Esta ferramenta pode ser muito mais interessante do que o Power Point, pois melhora o resultado final do que seria uma simples apresentação. Não é necessário fazer qualquer instalação no nosso computador. Só requer uma inscrição gratuita, podendo os alunos e professores beneficiar de um ligeiro upgrade em relação à versão básica.

O princípio é simples: agrupar, dispor e organizar os conteúdos - texto, imagens e vídeos (write, copy, paste), e criar de seguida as ligações entre eles (path).

Quem já domina o PPT e gostaria de se aventurar noutras apresentações, aqui está uma ferramenta útil para variar e inovar.

A minha primeira experiência é ainda muito simples, mas já dá para ter uma ideia.

Experimentem!

Comemoração do Dia da Escola ESFF - 11 OUT 2010

Celebrating John Lennon on his 70th anniversary

If John Lennon had only been one of the four members of the Beatles, his artistic immortality would already have been assured. The so-called “smart Beatle,” he brought a penetrating intelligence and a stinging wit both to the band’s music and its self-presentation. But in such songs as “Strawberry Fields Forever,” “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown),” “Rain” and “In My Life,” he also marshaled gorgeous melodies to evoke a sophisticated, dreamlike world-weariness well beyond his years. Such work suggested not merely a profound musical and literary sensibility - a genius, in short - but a vision of life that was simultaneously reflective, utopian and poignantly realistic.

2010 Nobel Prize Announcements: The Father of the Test Tube Baby

Robert G. Edwards

Born: 1925, Manchester, United Kingdom
Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Prize motivation: "for the development of in vitro fertilization"

Robert G. Edwards, the 2010 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, battled societal and establishment resistance to his development of the in vitro fertilization procedure, which has so far led to the birth of around 4 million people.

As early as the 1950s, Edwards had the vision that IVF could be useful as a treatment for infertility. He worked systematically to realize his goal, discovered important principles for human fertilization, and succeeded in accomplishing fertilization of human egg cells in test tubes (or more precisely, cell culture dishes). His efforts were finally crowned by success on 25 July, 1978, when the world's first "test tube baby" was born. During the following years, Edwards and his co-workers refined IVF technology and shared it with colleagues around the world.

Approximately four million individuals have so far been born following IVF. Many of them are now adult and some have already become parents. A new field of medicine has emerged, with Robert Edwards leading the process all the way from the fundamental discoveries to the current, successful IVF therapy. His contributions represent a milestone in the development of modern medicine.
