Moodle:  is a virtual educational environment, course managementsystem, free distribution, which helps educators create onlinelearning communities. This type of technology platforms is also known as LMS (Learning Management System).

Moodle was created by Martin Dougiamas, who was WebCTadministrator at Curtin University of Technology. He based hisdesign on the ideas of constructivism in teaching which asserts that knowledge is built on the student's mind rather than beingtransmitted unchanged from books or teaching and collaborative learning. A teacher who operates from this point of view creates astudent-centered environment that helps to build that knowledgebased on their own knowledge and skills rather than simply publish and transmit the information to be considered that students shouldknow.

A blog,:  or Spanish is also a blog is a regularly updated websitethat collects chronological texts or articles from one or moreauthors, the most recent appearing first, where the author always retains the freedom to stop creating relevant published. The blogname is based on log books, travel books that were used on shipsto report the development of travel and were kept in the log.Although the name has become popular in recent years due to its use in different areas, or log workbook has been used ever since.

The English word blog or weblog comes from the words web andlog ('log' in English = daily). The term blog, referring to the oldlogbooks of ships, is used when the author writes about his own life like a diary, but published on the web.

Write a song in English:

Sorry if my error will cause much trouble
That was never intended as such ...
know one last thing ...?
explain to me who was at fault?
... sorry we are not the same as before
everything was left behind ...
goodbye and never till ..

Lyric of the song with or without you u2 (class day 13 may, 2011)

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait. without you

With or without you
With or without you.

Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you.

With or without you
With or without you.
I can't live with or without you.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you.

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you.






Lyric of the song with or without you u2 in Spanish 

Mira la piedra en tus ojos
Mira la espina retorcida a tu lado
Yo te espero

Truco de manos y jugada del destino
En una cama de clavos ella me hace esperar
Y yo espero sin ti

Contigo o sin ti
Contigo o sin ti

A través de la tormenta nosotros llegamos a la orilla
Tu lo das todo pero yo quiero más
Y yo te estoy esperando

Contigo o sin ti
Contigo o sin ti
Yo no puedo vivir
Contigo o sin ti

Y tú te entregas
Y tú te entregas
Y tú das
Y tú das
Y tú te entregas

Mis manos está atadas
Mi cuerpo herido, ella me tiene con
Nada que ganar y
Nada más que perder

Y tú te entregas
Y tú te entregas
Y tú das
Y tú das
Y tú te entregas

Contigo o sin ti
Contigo o sin ti
Yo no puedo vivir
Contigo o sin ti

Contigo o sin ti
Contigo o sin ti
Yo no puedo vivir
Contigo o sin ti
Contigo o sin ti

Conic Sections

Conic sections were named and studied as early as 200 BC, whenApollonius of Perga undertook a systematic study of theirproperties.
A conic section is a curve obtained by the intersection of a coneunnos examples of conic sections are the siguinete:
The parable: it is a conic section, the intersection of a right circularconical surface and a plane parallel to a straight line from thegeneration of this area, you can open up, down, left, right, or in an arbitrary direction has many important applications, the headlightreflectors for misilesbalísticos design. They are often used inphysics, engineering and many other areas.

The ellipse: it is a flat curve is the intersection of uncon by a planein a way that produces a sharp curve, are closed curves and thelimiting case of seccionescónicas, the curves resulting from the intersection of a plane and conocircular not passing through itsapex, the other two (open and unlimited) cases are parabolas andhyperbolas.

Hyperbole: is a curve, in particular soft unacurva is at a level that can be defined either by its geometric properties orecuacionespara type which is the solution set has two parts, calledconnected components or branches, sonimágenes that mirroreach other and look like two arches infinito.La hyperbola is one ofthe four types of conic section formed by the intersection of a planeand a cone.
