What is Distance Learning and Why Is It So Important?



1 Distance learning – any form of remote education where the student is not physically present for the lesson – is booming thanks to the power of the Internet. In fact, there are a number of advantages of learning remotely over even traditional teaching models. As the Internet blurs the line between near and far, distance learning is set to disrupt the current paradigm of education.
2 Historically, distance learning described correspondence courses in which students would communicate with their schools or teachers by mail. More recently, distance education has moved online to include a huge range of systems and methods on practically any connected device.
3 Distance education is clearly different from regular education in terms of a student or teacher‘s physical presence. For the most part, it translates into increased freedom for both learners and educators, but it also requires higher degrees of discipline and planning to successfully complete the course of study.
4 The enhanced freedom of remote learning is most clearly seen in the fact that students can choose courses that fit their schedules and resources. (Teachers can do the same.) And in the case of digital learning, students can also choose the location and teaching styles that best suit their needs.
5 Remote education is certainly not a magic bullet and there will always be a place for in-class learning. At the same time, distance learning still has a lot of untapped potential to reach students where they are and connect educators and learners in new ways. From increased flexibility to new learning styles, it seems that the future of learning will be as diverse in time and place as it will be in thought.

Observe o parágrafo 4: “Instead of dinner and a movie, which seems as obsolete as a rotary phone, they rendezvous over phone texts, Facebook posts, instant messages and other “non-dates” that are leaving a generation confused about how to land a boyfriend or girlfriend.”

Texto 3



Dinner and a movie. A walk in a park after a picnic for two. They might not be original, but these are classic date ideas.

Do people your age go out on dates? Or are you more likely to hang out with a big group of people that includes people who are seeing each other exclusively?

In "The End of Courtship?" Alex Williams writes about Shani Silver, who recently waited to hear from the guy who had asked her on a "date" that evening: at 10 p.m., he texted to ask if she wanted to join him and "a bunch of friends from college" at the place where they were hanging out:

Turned off, she fired back a text message, politely declining. But in retrospect, she might have adjusted her expectations. "The word 'date‘ should almost be stricken from the dictionary," Ms. Silver said. "Dating culture has evolved to a cycle of text messages, each one requiring the code-breaking skills of a cold war spy to interpret."

"It‘s one step below a date, and one step above a high-five," she added. Dinner at a romantic new bistro? Forget it. Women in their 20s these days are lucky to get a last-minute text to tag along. Raised in the age of so-called "hookup culture," millennials — who are reaching an age where they are starting to think about settling down — are subverting the rules of courtship.

Instead of dinner and a movie, which seems as obsolete as a rotary phone, they rendezvous over phone texts, Facebook posts, instant messages and other "non-dates" that are leaving a generation confused about how to land a boyfriend or girlfriend.

"The new date is 'hanging out,' " said Denise Hewett, 24, an associate television producer in Manhattan, who is currently developing a show about this frustrating new romantic landscape. As one male friend recently told her: "I don‘t like to take girls out. I like to have them join in on what I‘m doing — going to an event, a concert." 

(…) Relationship experts point to technology as another factor in the upending of dating culture.

Traditional courtship — picking up the telephone and asking someone on a date — required courage, strategic planning and a considerable investment of ego (by telephone, rejection stings). Not so with texting, e-mail, Twitter or other forms of "asynchronous communication," as techies call it. In the context of dating, it removes much of the need for charm; it‘s more like dropping a line in the water and hoping for a nibble.

"I‘ve seen men put more effort into finding a movie to watch on Netflix Instant than composing a coherent message to ask a woman out," said Anna Goldfarb, 34, an author and blogger in Moorestown, N.J. A typical, annoying query is the last-minute: "Is anything fun going on tonight?" (…)

A
Os jovens da atual geração não encaram mais o namoro romântico, de longa duração, com provável casamento. Preferem os relacionamentos e encontros on-line, pois, nessas circunstâncias, não se envolvem em conflitos com seus pares.
B
As jovens nova-iorquinas ainda se comportam como milhões de garotas do mundo inteiro, desejando que rapazes as convidem para um jantar romântico e/ou um cineminha, valorizando bem esse tipo de relacionamento.
C
Para os jovens de hoje, há certa dificuldade de se encarar o namoro tradicional, com convite para sair, jantar a dois e/ou algo mais, preferindo, geralmente, as saídas em grupo, ao qual poderá ir se juntar uma 'namorada'.
D
O namoro presencial nos grandes centros urbanos, como Nova York, é restrito aos casais maduros que ainda preferem sair para jantar ou caminhar no parque, sendo poucos os que se arriscam a frequentar uma boate ou coisa semelhante.
E
Há um novo cenário no que diz respeito ao namoro: os rapazes se empenham em convidar garotas para encontros animados, sendo comum o envio de mensagens para se juntar ao grupo de convivência da pretensa namorada, a fim de ―curtirem‖ a noite em seus múltiplos eventos.

US President Donald Trump has defended his use of social media in a series of tweets, following a row over comments he made about two MSNBC TV presenters.


"My use of social media is not presidential – it's modern day presidential," he tweeted on Saturday.

His tweets are condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike, despite the White House springing to his defence.

Mr Trump's aides have previously expressed concern over his tweets.

But the president said on Saturday that social media gave him the opportunity to connect directly to the public, bypassing the mainstream media, whose content Mr Trump regularly labels as "fake news".

"The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media," he tweeted, adding: "But remember, I won the 2016 election with interviews, speeches and social media."

Mr Trump also stepped up his attack on CNN after the US news network retracted an article alleging that one of the president's aides was under investigation by Congress.

"I am extremely pleased to see that @CNN has finally been exposed as #FakeNews and garbage journalism. It's about time!"

The story that caused the upset, which was later removed from the website following an internal investigation, resulted in the resignations of three CNN journalists: Thomas Frank, investigative unit editor and Pulitzer Prize winner Eric Lictblau and Lex Harris, who oversaw the investigations unit.

CHIANG MAI, THAILAND

Care for Elephants

Asian elephants face many threats – especially loss of habitat due to encroaching development, which can lead to conflict with humans. Today the elephant population in Thailand is estimated at only 3,000 to 4,000. Lend a hand with the least fortune of these animals at the Elephant Nature Park outside Chiang Mai. As a sanctuary for orphaned and disabled elephants, some of which have been abused as work animals, the center invites visitors to help feed and bathe the gentle giants, as well as assist with general maintenance around the park.[…]

SOUTH DAKOTA

Explore the Badlands

Over the past half million years, erosion has sculpted sediment deposited by the ancient sea that once stretched across the Great Plains into buttes, spires, and pinnacle formations, leaving us the Badlands. Named by the Lakota for its unwelcoming terrain that they believed was riddled with the remains of a mythological horned serpent, the striking landscape inspires awe among visitors today, especially during the magic hours of sunrise and sunset, and under a full moon.[…]

COSTA RICA

Rescue Sea Turtles

Commercial fishing, coastal development, humans harvesting eggs, marine debris, oil spills: The threats to sea turtles are staggering. Only an estimated one in 1,000 to 10,000 survives to adulthood, which is why conservationists around the world depend on volunteers to give these primordial creatures the best shot possible.

Explore the Badlands

Over the past half million years, erosion has sculpted sediment deposited by the ancient sea that once stretched across the Great Plains into buttes, spires, and pinnacle formations, leaving us the Badlands. Named by the Lakota for its unwelcoming terrain that they believed was riddled with the remains of a mythological horned serpent, the striking landscape inspires awe among visitors today, especially during the magic hours of sunrise and sunset, and under a full moon.[…]

COSTA RICA

Rescue Sea Turtles

Commercial fishing, coastal development, humans harvesting eggs, marine debris, oil spills: The threats to sea turtles are staggering. Only an estimated one in 1,000 to 10,000 survives to adulthood, which is why conservationists around the world depend on volunteers to give these primordial creatures the best shot possible. Help conduct nightly patrols along the black-sand beaches of Tortuguero National Park on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, one of the most important nesting sites in the Western Hemisphere.[…]

CHIANG MAI, THAILAND

Care for Elephants

Asian elephants face many threats – especially loss of habitat due to encroaching development, which can lead to conflict with humans. Today the elephant population in Thailand is estimated at only 3,000 to 4,000. Lend a hand with the least fortune of these animals at the Elephant Nature Park outside Chiang Mai. As a sanctuary for orphaned and disabled elephants, some of which have been abused as work animals, the center invites visitors to help feed and bathe the gentle giants, as well as assist with general maintenance around the park.[…]

     Countries band together to promote trade, defend human rights, protect the environment and repel threats. They sign treaties and join international groups, and each time they do, they give up a bit of independence. That happened in a big way with the creation of the European Union, a freetrade zone and global political force forged from the fractious states of Europe. The question always was, could this extraordinary experiment hold together? Faced with the choice in a June 23 referendum, the U.K. shocked the world by voting to leave the bloc it joined in 1973. The way many Britons saw it, the trade-offs they'd made to be part of the club — notably control over immigration — no longer served their interests. They chose what's become known as Brexit. 

     Voters supported the split by 52 percent to 48 percent after a rancorous 10-week campaign that divided the nation. The result prompted Prime Minister David Cameron, who had pushed for the U.K. to remain in the 28-nation bloc, to say he'll resign by October. The vote jolted financial markets, sending the U.K. currency tumbling. As the vote plunged the country into political turmoil, Scotland's devolved government paved the way for a second referendum on breaking away so it can remain part of the EU. The U.K. will have two years to negotiate the terms of an exit once it takes the legal steps to leave the bloc, with talks to unwind agreements in areas as diverse as fishing quotas, financial services and health and safety standards. Cameron had warned that a withdrawal would trigger a recession and a decade of uncertainty for jobs, trade and the broader economy. Advocates of a split, including the country’s leading tabloid newspapers, want Britain to regain control of its borders, laws and finances. Because the free movement of citizens is a basic tenet of EU law, leaving the bloc is the only sure way to stem a larger-than-expected influx of immigrants. Young voters were keen to remain in the EU, while older ones preferred to leave.
