Spanair..
he tail of the crashed Spainair plane sticks out as firefighters and members of resue service wor at the crash scene where a Spanair aircraft crashed on take off from Barajas Airport, Madrid, 20 August 2008.
It was heading for Gran Canaria. Spain's civil aviation chief has said that the aeroplane that crashed on Wednesday, leaving 153 people dead, must have suffered more than one kind of failure. Some witnesses had said the aircraft's left engine caught fire as the plane was taking off, although authorities never confirmed this. "The video shows that the plane caught fire only after it hit the ground," the paper said. engine failure alone would not be enough to bring the aeroplane down because modern aircraft are designed to fly on just one engine in an emergency.


Intake 'not cause' The aeroplane's takeoff from Madrid's Barajas airport had been initially delayed because of a mechanical problem with what the airline called an air intake valve near the cockpit. Experts, however, said the repaired valve could not have caused the crash - Spain's worst air disaster in 25 years. Only 19 people survived the crash of the Spanair twin-engine plane bound for the Canary Islands. Relatives of those killed in the crash continued on Friday to identify the bodies. Many bodies were burned beyond recognition and forensic teams are taking DNA samples from relatives.
Only 50 sets of remains have so far been identified.

-¡TECHNOLOGY AND EDUCATION!


Every time the technology is used in more places, now practically we have in all the places, that one of they are in the schools, in the education.

The people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in the classroom of the school. Will children lose their ability to relate to other human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with the invention of the printing press, radio, and television. All of this can be used inappropriately, but all of this have given humanity unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge. Appropriately used.. interactively and with guidance.. they have become tools for the development of higher order thinking skills.

Inappropriately used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be "plugged into computers" to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures.

The technology and education, is the new teachings of the future, applying the criteris of now education , the benefits of the future.
