The document discusses various digital design software used for costume, set, and technical designs. It describes using Photoshop layers to add fabrics to a costume design and transfer a face image. AutoCAD workshops covered creating shapes to scale and showing dimensions, and students were assigned to design a floppy disk. 3D Studio Max allowed manipulating shapes, exploring tools, and creating a table leg and scaled stage with copied legs.
Este documento resume conceptos clave sobre electromagnetismo y máquinas eléctricas. Explica los imanes y electroimanes, y los experimentos fundacionales de Oersted y Faraday sobre electromagnetismo. Luego describe diferentes máquinas eléctricas como motores eléctricos, generadores, dinamos y alternadores, enfocándose en cómo usan campos magnéticos y corriente eléctrica. Finalmente, menciona otros mecanismos electromagnéticos como timbres y relés.
This document summarizes the potential global effects of a regional nuclear war involving 100 Hiroshima-sized weapons. It finds that 20 million people would die immediately, with megacities likely abandoned. 5 tons of smoke injected into the atmosphere could trigger unprecedented climate change through global cooling. This could have severe agricultural effects like shortened growing seasons and reduced yields, threatening global famine as world grain stocks would only last around 50 days. Epidemics and conflict over scarce resources could further endanger human life worldwide in the aftermath of even a small-scale regional nuclear exchange.
La carta describe un futuro distópico en el año 2070 donde los recursos hídricos se han agotado irreversiblemente debido a la contaminación y el cambio climático.

Este documento discute el uso de la tecnología en la educación. Señala que la tecnología debe usarse como una herramienta para facilitar el aprendizaje, no como un fin en sí mismo. Permite a los estudiantes acceder a múltiples fuentes de información y compartir lo que aprenden. Sin embargo, los proyectos de aprendizaje deben guiar el uso de la tecnología, no al revés. También destaca que el aprendizaje es tanto individual como social, involucrando la colaboración y discusión.
