The use of social media in the educational environment.

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The use of social media for educational purposes is a thing what have caused lots of talks. Of course, there are interactive message boards, what bases in the same technology than Facebook, what is mentioned for communication between the teacher and students. In some of those environments is a possibility for making the tests and use it for the document storage.

But there are more effects, what social media might bring in the learning environment. There is a possibility to make the interactive lectures on the Internet, where everybody has choices to answer the questions of the lecturer. In this scenario, the students will use their game headsets for answering the questions, what the lecturer will make. And the lecturer can finally look for the records of the answers after the lecture, and this way sees, who knows the real fact about the thing, what has been in the key question in the lecture. So everybody in the course might be noticed in this system.

Also, virtual environments can grow the size of the group without limit of chairs. And because all material is on the net, can students make their jobs in the home. If there is needed strong identification like in examine, might the system require telephone identification or fingerprint, and that allows the matriculation examination in the net. The person who observes the room can be anybody, and also security cameras can be used for observing the test. The virtual educational environment can use same style technology, what is used in many web-based computer games.

This kind of graphics and architecture might connect to the writing levers and that allows the use of script writing in the tests. And those surfaces can identify the persons by multi sensor systems, what connects the microphones, internet camera, fingerprints and retina pictures together. The mouse level can also identify the fingerprint, and that allows the strong identity in the tests, what are given in the university. This denies the opportunity for making the deceit in those exams. This might be future of studies in the global environment, where students can live in another country, but they are students of some universities.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

"This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things. That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries. "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

(Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft. Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things. In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion. If we th
