Animated Videos in Education Posted by powerhouseanimations on January 16th Braden Holtby Jersey Womens , 2014
If you’ve read our previous blogs, you’ll know that we have discussed how animation grabs attention. If not, we wrote earlier that Dropbox attracted millions of users by explaining its service with a simple animated video – commonly known as an ‘explainer video.’ This video was the only thing on the homepage of their website in its early days, and it quickly became a hit.
The same fact applies for schools and for children. Explaining concepts, ideas Christian Djoos Jersey Womens , and events through animation appeals to children more than simply reading it. Young children tend to enjoy the creative and cartoonish style of animated videos. An animated video will stay with them longer and can be used many times. Children are imaginative beings, and animated videos tend to draw heavily from imagination, something the kids enjoy and are often drawn to.
Educational animation is used beyond just elementary and middle school. Explaining complex biological concepts and structures, such as cell reproduction or DNA, is best done through animation. It doesn’t matter if your audience is 7 or 70. Remember the video the scientists use in Jurassic Park to explain how they brought the dinosaurs back to life? While the information was of course fiction Brendan Leipsic Jersey Womens , this is a technique widely used in the scientific community to translate complex ideas into an accessible format that almost anyone can understand.
Animation technology is better today than it has ever been, and there are professionals all over the world able to make animated videos about anything imaginable. The rise of tablets and animation software in schools has also opened the doors for more animation production and usage, paving the way for students of all ages to engage in this art form. Implementing animation using this new technology will help viewers learn and interact on a new level.
With the level of technology increasing, the ability to incorporate animated videos and lessons into all levels of education has the potential to improve the learning experience of students. As mentioned earlier, complicated concepts can be better visualized and explained through animation Lars Eller Jersey Womens , helping our professionals teach and learn the concepts that are changing the world today. The face of education can be changed here drastically because of the amount of increase in this field of technology. Animation has the potential to work its way into curriculum and enhance education on an unprecedented level, allowing for a quicker understanding and mastery of concepts for our students young and old.

Over the past decade, the popularity of bottled water has increased substantially in North America(1). Sales of bottled waters have increased by 400% Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey Womens , and 1 in 5 households now use bottled drinking water (2). Annual per capita consumption has risen from less than 8 gallons in 1991 (1,2) to 12.7 gallons in 1997 (Arthur von Wiesenberger, personal communication). Since bottled water is beginning to assume a prominent place in the North American diet, its health effects require evaluation. It is more important to remove any harmful pollutants from your water than to save beneficial minerals in it.
Drinking water produced by distillation alone is not free of all potential pollutants, regardless of the brand of distiller; drinking water produced by the combination of any distiller plus an adequate filter will insure the purest drinking water but without minerals. Also because of the lack of minerals the pH of this water will drop and become more acidic on standing.
Ultra Pure water produced by Reverse osmosis sytems that have a UV light added are good and have a few electrolites in it. The pH will drop as this water has no buffering capacity also.
The drinking water most conducive to good health is that which contains a moderate to high mineral content.
The acidic Distilled water and Ultra Pure Reverse Osmosis can leach pollutants from its containers T. J. Oshie Jersey Womens , so the choice of storage containers is important. Glass is best and seamless stainless steel and inert plastics are next best. Don't store distilled or ultra pure reverse osmosis water in soft plastic bottles.
When your water has a pH below 6.5 it is considered acidic. When this occurs, water can actually start to eat away at pipes and stain silverware, imagine what happens elsewhere. Since this is happening, you will need to neutralize your water.
Where distilled water or reverse osmosis water is the drinking water of choice, the consumer should pay attention to insuring a plentiful source of minerals from food andor supplements.
With the CRL-pH+ remineralization filter developed at HealthSmart Nutrition placed after the RO system or distiller this problem with the pH drop is lessened. The water is adjusted to a mild alkaline pH for a smoother taste and a healthier water.
