higher education is changing

I want to post in this blog the relation of augmented reality and the visual style of learning.A lot of specialist think that this is one of the best way to keep all the information in our minds for a long time of period.How do you guys think that we better visualize any situation,reading any book or using augmented reality?.My answer will be the last one,Why?.Take a look in YouTube,or read any article that you can find on the Internet about this phenomenal advantage of the technology.When we work with augmented reality ,we are dealing with virtual objects that we can use in our real life.It is amazing how augmented reality can work or increase our higher education.As a future nurse,i think that will  be great using the augmentation of the reality in every class of my program to simulate any procedure,or any virtual treatment.Make any sense for you guys?????????.Think about it.

Higher education is changing


If we compare our old times in the school with today classes, is amazing how many changes the education has had. The techniques and technology that we can use in our classes enables us to become a better student, with more intellect. The use of blogs, eBooks, and chats are a very easy way to get connected with a lot of people around the world. We can share our experiences and receive information from students with the same major. Talk with doctors, surgeons, and bright people in general that can demonstrate different techniques on many procedures that we can see on YouTube. Higher education is changing inevitable and we are proud to be part of it.

The augmented reality.


The augmented reality is one of the best examples that 21 Century can show us as wonderful tool for a better education. The augmentation of the reality as a virtual reality is just amazing. Back in the old times how many times we thought about this as an impossible thing. Today the technology advance as digital camaras, GPS, wireless sensors, give us the opportunity to be more accurate.In the actuality we are able to have a viewing of the fetus inside of the mother’s womb, with his own movements it is incredible. I remembered when I was pregnant of my daughter, 2 weeks before my due day, the doctors did the ultrasound and I saw my baby face for the first time, was incredible! The technology advance as video games, 3D movies, smartphones and a lot of examples where we can appreciate the augmented reality are incredible. Can you guys imagine a virtual human body, with real organs where we can practice every day? This training will help us to become a better doctors and nurses. Can you think about how much perfect and accurate we can perform a surgery or any other procedure? In my opinion the Augmented Reality on the education will be necessary and will become a fundamental tool in ours school within the next years.

Smartphone as a tool for student


One of the greater things that 21 Century gives us is the use of Mobil device in the classroom. I think that is a wonderful tool when we need to do any research, find people, and have communication with other classmates. The access of the smart phones simplifies a lot of student materials, as paper, books, and other things. With a little device we can have a full access to everything at all time.

The EMR Program


One of the social media that is revolutionizing the healthcare industry is the EMR program. As a medical assistant in a pediatric office we are installing the EMR to do our work better and easy.Litlle by little we are discovering new things every day. The electronic access to patient data, labs results, allergies, medications, treatments and a lot of things. Find doctors, make appointments. We can save paper and time. This program really works when you have a busy practice like our office.

Driving over 65 years old????????????


Driver test for people over 65 years old 

   When we reach a certain age, our physical and mental capabilities start to drecrese.We can develop serious illnesses such Alzaimer’s disease, and many others disabilities that can cause impossibilities to perform different types of activities as drive. Therefore it is practice to test everyone who is over 65 years old and still driving.

   We can mention many reasons and examples that validate this argument.First, older people can take up to twelve tablets of medication per day. Each of these medications can cause dizziness, low blood pressure, and many things that give inability to take a car and hit the road full in traffic. The pills or tablet are prescribed by a doctor, and if we read the prospectus, the side effects of the medication I can guarantee, that no one can even think to drive under the effect of them. The government and the driver license office should know that. The second reason which is very important is that people over 65 years are unable to react at the moment of danger. When we drive, our minds must be focused not only on our car, but also on everything that is happening around us. The mobility of their hands and legs are not the same. Even the speed of their minds is very slow compared to younger adults.

    In conclusion the driver license office and the government need to realize all the limitation that people over 65 years can have. Mandatory driving test should perform, in my own opininon.Check the labels on medications and make sure with doctors and driver office is recommended too. This does not mean that everyone over this age can be disqualified. But we can save the society and population of more accidents on the road,

Cuba

This summer I am planning to go to Cuba. I am very excited because I have a lot of people that I love over there. For a long time I am waiting this moment and finally have the opportunity to hug my family and friends one more time. I have a little sister down there waiting for me, and I can count the hours to see her face  like in the old times. Touch my land, hug my people and enjoy my culture, food and traditions are one of the biggest dreams of my life. This summer I will be full of love. I can’t wait till that moment, because I know that will be great for me.

pianists and writers


The other day, in the last class, the professor was explaining that the better way to become a powerful writer is when we are able to write a little be every day. He was compared the writing process with the people that playing piano. Back in my old times, I went to music school and believed or not I was one of the better students in my class. I know how to play piano. I can remember my instructors from that school telling me the same thing. We were supposing to practice with the instrument two hours every day. Some days I was in front of the piano for five hours, and the end of the month we was able to perform a good concert. Since I came to the United States, my entire life change. Now I try to be a good nurse, and working in the health care field, but this will be impossible if I don’t know how to write properly. How I mentioned before it is hard for me, because I never went to the school in this country, and the process of the class and the language sometimes become a big problem. I try to practice every day, same as I did with my instrument. For sure at the end of this course I will be able to reach the top, as I did with my piano.

Difference betwen old and new education.


Century 21, the education revolution.

How many classes do I miss in my old times as student? I positive that the answer will be almost the same for everyone, A LOT…….Why? very simple. The class was bored. I can remember my big teacher, with square glasses, talking and reading the same thing over and over. Sorry but I was unable to be awake all day long. My mind was out of that class most of the time. Reading the same book, going to the same chair, write paragraphs to anyone, and follow up the same rules in every other class, sounded very boring. Now we have the opportunity to explore, to communicate, and to discuss different things. We are learning not only in the school, we keep our training of writing and learning all day long and using different ways. I am invite everyone to open a new door to our knowledge, enjoy our education, and become a better professional.Internet, bloogs, and comment with people that we do not even know are open to the world. Let’s take the chance now.
