In August Cheap Udonis Haslem Shirt , I wrote a review of the powerful and moving documentary, The Interrupters, which follows the work of Project CeaseFire, a grassroots organization that employs ex-gang members to attempt to mediate neighborhood disputes in Chicago before they turn violent. I wanted to share another movie that also deals with the ethical choices people make to try to survive in a conflict zone, In the Land of Blood and Honey, a fictionalized account of the civil war in Bosnia-Herzegovina between 1992 and 1995. A conflict that is estimated to have cost 156 Cheap Justise Winslow Shirt ,000 people their lives, with another 175,000 seriously injured or disabled.
The movie has received strong attention in the press, no doubt because it was written and directed by Angelina Jolie. (Full disclosure: Jolie is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.) Overall, it succeeds as the rare example of harnessing star power to get a movie made about a difficult and rarely-remembered event, including with Serbian Cheap James Johnson Shirt , Bosnian, and Croatian actors speaking in their native dialects. Moreover, it does not require the viewer to recall what happened in the Balkans in the early 1990s, since the complexities of the civil war are distilled into a narrative focused on two people and set in one location: Sarejevo.

Physical or Virtual Classrooms ?
The main difference between the physical classroom and the Virtual Classrooms is those of location, time and spaces required by students and teachers to access and partake in classroom activities. In the physical classroom a physical location must be visited at a fixed time in order to participate Cheap Kelly Olynyk Shirt , while a virtual classroom is not physically accessed and has no real fixed time or location which is a great boon.
The manner in which a teacher delivers educational material remains an important factor in the success of both classrooms. Though both the classrooms employ similar learning theory, curriculum design and pedagogy, live face-to-face interaction is missing in the VCR method, which may have a negative influence.
May be the solution is the blended method where physical classroom training is combined with the virtual classroom training, thus accommodating a wider range of student needs.
As teaching in both the physical and virtual classroom is learner-centered, students learn by engaging in group work Cheap Tyler Johnson Shirt , projects, discussions, and other content relating to real-world contexts. The VCR is used to provide additional communication and material, along with the learning that occurs in the physical classroom.
VCR Tools
The important communicationparticipation VCR tools are
These tools can be further divided into two methods of learning Synchronous and Asynchronous learning.
Synchronous VCR Learning
Synchronous learning is communication or exchange of information at the same time between two or more people i.e. in real time. In virtual classrooms, synchronous communication is used by students to communicate with fellow class members and their teachers. This provides real time interaction and encourages group discussions. Chats, Videoaudio conferencing Cheap Wayne Ellington Shirt , Podcastingvodcasting, Teleconferencing are all Synchronous learning tools.
Asynchronous VCR Learning
Asynchronous learning or communication does not occur in real-time, students or teachers are not present in the same space and time as each other. The instructions are delivered at one time and the work is done at a different time. Asynchronous learning allows the student to study at their own space and in their own time, plus both the teacher and the student benefit from because the entire discussion is recorded and can be repeated continuously. E-mail, discussion groups, whiteboards Cheap Josh Richardson Shirt , wikis, weblogs, and forums are all Asynchronous learning tools.
Conclusion
The virtual classroom transcends the boundaries of location, time and space providing a flexible learning environment for all. Schools, universities and corporate organizations benefit form VCR Learning because it provides an excellent way for experts to teach a geographically dispersed group of students without hassle.
