The violence in the computer games

The computer games are more and more violent often recreates the bloody images with greater exactitude, without considering that are going to be seen by children. All this causes that we do not see the true reality of the computer games, that also can be educative. There are numerous games that estan destined to the children with incapacities, these games estan very integrated in the education of these children and every time more advances in this subject are made, but all this forgets when it sees the violent games, these games are put on sale and are bought by small children or are supplied online and had access to great young them as as much small without control some. The control of the parents sometimes is not absolutely correct, since the parents estan very occupied with their works and they do not see that their children in front of the computer play. The children grow with greater violence, no longer only in the TV but also in the computer, numerous studies demonstrate that these children are the more violent. We faced a society composed of very aggressive children and must take care of these children. The children must be defense of the violent games and he is due to motivate to them so that they use the educative games where they to learn new things or to reinforce what they already know. In Spain, the educative games are used with the students with learning problems and to reinforce the acquired knowledge, nevertheless in reference to the violent games we are very lost and still there is much work to do. The Spanish society has measures of protection against these games but they are not sufficient. The teachers we must motivate our students to that they do not waste the time with games in which they do not learn anything.

Private or public?


The Internet use are broken the borders between the public and the private thing, now are no secrets. This is an advantage on the one hand and a great disadvantage by others, the people we want to maintain and to safeguard our privacy and sometimes is impossible, since Internet to us puts it very difficult.
There are pages web that sell our personal data to companies of publicity without asking the users but who controls this? it is penalized?.It seems that these people estan over the law, do not respect the privacy of the users.
Pages like Facebook, Twitter, allow to see images us and commentaries in time real, something really important, but sometimes those images can be harmful, according to those who are the people see who them. Therefore, the great question is public or private? who establishes the limits. It seems that no longer there are limits, in Spain is a Web very similar to Facebook, Tuenti call that is used by young people, and through this page they have threatened many young people who soon have been assassinated. Now in Spain there is a great controversy referring to the utility of this page and mainly if the parents of the young people must be present when their children esten using it. They have already been the three assassinated usuary young people of Tuenti and the controversy is served.

Utility of blog for a teacher.


The utility or the utilities that blog can offer to a professor is several and I can say, the communication or with the companions, other companions of other schools and mainly with our students. They can leave the tasks them of realising in house, but he has taken care of the class, or any other reason. Also they can use to publish the evaluations of each student, by means of a certain code that expresses dedicate to what student to that evaluation or that qualification. This is important so that it is not something public. They can use it to the students to speak with the professor of a private way.
We can use also we have it taste of the communication channel with the parents, to indicate a certain special situation to them that the group or the school can have happened in, the etc. Generally, blogs has a great interior of the utility as much then outside the school is only necessary to want to learn to use them and to see their utility without prejudicar. But everything is not advantages is necessary to consider the privacy of the students and who do not make an evil use. Some teachers do not want to use it since they do not see it safe and they are obstinate to that their tasks are public. The old teachers prefer to use books and say not to the new technologies. I fodder that is something useful and that when she is professor I would like to use with my students.
