Learn The Latest Trends In Chemistry

Learn The Latest Trends In ChemistryHow can you know the latest trends in Chemistry? One way to get a good idea of which field is heading the way and which one is not is to take the profession itself, the history of the science, and the outcomes from research. Consider, for example, the chemical composition of a certain compound. It is something that the scientific community has studied for some time.In recent years, the concept of chemical evolution has been taken into account and, while this approach has its roots in the past, it is one that has remained a good fit for research. The study of molecules in large amounts means that molecules with similar properties are present in the same concentration. And so, if an observation or experiment provides information as to how a molecule behaves when combined with other similar molecules, one can find that this composition does indeed exist.It may seem to be the most straightforward approach but, as a general rule, the combination of mole cules is determined by their molecular structures. The simplest methods exist in the composition of many compounds, but if some complicated processes are needed, the way forward is the use of machines that may have been around for centuries. For instance, there are many times when groups of chemicals are used to control the boiling points of an entire container of liquids.These machines are incredibly complex but, to date, they are the primary roles that these machines play. They work to address the problems of working with molecular formulas that do not always match up with the atomic ones. They can be found in some of the most laboratories on earth and, because of their sophistication, they are also usually quite expensive.There are two different types of equipment that one can encounter in the laboratory and each type has a different role. The first of these is the ion source. This is a device that uses an electric current to transfer energy into the molecules and allows them to react.One can imagine, for example, that these types of equipment would have played a key role in the development of the elements that have become known as the elements Bismuth Telluride and Titanium. At a time when scientists were running out of atoms and needed new ones to create new compounds, these new elements were created and they became key contributors to the discoveries of many in the field.The chemistry trends that will determine what kind of science we are getting will continue to change and evolve. So while chemical composition will be one of the factors that determines the course of the profession, it is also one that has plenty of room for innovation.

Minimizing Technology Distractions in the Classroom

Minimizing Technology Distractions in the Classroom One of the unfortunate realities of teaching in the digital age is the volume of distractions. From smartphones with all kinds of tools and games to many different types of social media platforms, there are lots of ways for students to get sidetracked in class and when doing homework. What can you do? Huntington recommends the below tips to offer your students: Set and stick to a schedule. The more your students structure their days, the better they will be at minimizing wasted time including technology time. Encourage them to develop a detailed daily schedule that blocks out time for all of their have-tos as well as their want-tos, including online and phone time. Establish classroom expectations. You must outline rules for digital devices, including when students are allowed to have their phones out in the classroom and when they are prohibited. Encourage parents to set rules. Your students are only with you for part of each day, so make sure you communicate your classroom expectations to parents. Hopefully, this will inspire some rules and guidelines for responsible phone and technology use at home as well. Help students build good habits. Try teaching the Pomodoro method, which has students set a timer to work for 25 minutes and then take a break for five minutes a simple but effective way to maximize productivity. Those short breaks can be used for checking social media and replying to texts. The benefit: students will grow accustomed to staying focused when its time to work. Suggest helpful apps. There are many tools that can help students be more aware of what they spend their time on and quit wasting it on unproductive activities. Check out RescueTime , a program which runs in the background of computers and mobile devices, and SelfControl for starters. Theres so much to distract students today. Help yours embrace good habits so that the many digital tools and devices out there help and do not hinder their lives.

Virginia Tech Goes Social, Offers New Course for Students

Virginia Tech Goes Social, Offers New Course for Students Photo credit: Steven Voss In spring 2012,  Student Adviser  recognized more than 6,000 U.S. colleges, universities, and post-secondary schools that offered a mastery of public social media methods. However, it wasnt until this semester that Virginia Techs Pamplin College of Business began offering social media marketing (MKTG 4984) to students. Bloomberg Businessweek Favorite Professor recipient  and graduate certified social media professor Donna Wertalik campaigned for the new course. It started a couple of years ago when we were doing research for the Pamplin College of Business, Wertalik said.  [The focus] turned to social media and then [we] got into the discussion of big data and measurement and how important data is in creating marketing as a hard science. That’s how I rallied people to [support] this course. Emphasizing the importance of data and analytics, the class provides students with a 360-degree perspective and foundation of social media marketing and how businesses today actively use popular platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest to interact with both current and prospective consumers. Groups of students will also aid local New River Valley clients, such as the Blacksburg Farmers Market and Roanoke Community Garden Association, in social media marketing campaigns  as part of a semester-long project that involves creating and running Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress accounts for the nonprofits. By exposing students to every format of social media and real world application, Wertalik wants students to have educated conversations about data and gain hands-on experience in business marketing. For students especially business majors and minors that experience is increasingly important once outside the confides of Virginia Tech. In 2012,  88 percent of small businesses reported that social media currently does or has the potential to impact their business, according to the  New York Enterprise Report. But its not just small companies using social media today. In a  study  conducted by Burson-Marsteller, the number of Fortune Global 100 companies using at least one social media platform was found to have increased by nearly 10 percent to 87 percent since 2010. Individually, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are each used by more than 74 percent of those companies. Clearly, social media marketing has emerged as an important marketing strategy, reads the course syllabus. Wertalik, who developed the courses curriculum, refers to the class as an offshoot of graduate courses taken as part of her recently  received masters of science in marketing at Southern New Hampshire University. I love marketing; I find it fascinating. There is always something going on it is really relevant, Wertalik said. It is that same passion for marketing that led Wertalik to found Pamplin ReInventing Social Media -  the first social media organization on campus and possibly in the world of which she is the faculty adviser. PRISM works closely with Pamplin Dean Richard Sorensen and other influential faculty to best serve and represent the college and its brand, which continues to rank among top undergraduate business schools in the nation. Wertalik believes the institution must embrace social media and PRISM to prevent inventing the past. There is a lot we can do through communication, social media, and data [to] measure the future, she said. We cant just say the words ‘Invent the Future, we really have to showcase it and do it. Lets back it up. Through the continued development of social media courses and PRISM, Pamplin plans to continue doing just that.

Back at Home for the Summer 5 Ways to Adjust

Back at Home for the Summer 5 Ways to Adjust 5 Ways to Adjust to the Transition of Going Home For the Summer Being back home presents a huge transition for a college student who has just completed their freshman year. For the most part, new college students hit the ground running and dont get a chance to stop until the year is over. Sometimes, students will arrange for an internship or part-time job while other times students simply need to rest and recuperate from the previous semester. It can be difficult to adjust to being in a different town or state, but there are several things students can do to keep their summer at home productive and prepare themselves for their sophomore year as a university student. 1. Short-term internships Students who would like to participate successfully in an internship but also want to have some rest should consider getting a short-term internship. Many internships are only a week or two weeks long and allow students to get a sneak peek into what a longer internship would be like down the road. For the most part, these positions simply allow college students to see the office environment they might be working in while they help out with support tasks. Students who are feeling overwhelmed after their first year of college are encouraged to consider a short-term internship and enjoy the remainder of their summer (READ: 5 ways to learn about art this summer). 2. A Paycheck Getting a paycheck over the summer can make the school year a whole lot easier. Many students work part-time every week throughout the school year, but others will only work during the holiday break and summer. If this is the case, every dollar becomes more important, and summer work allows students to have more fun and flexibility during the year. Additional funds give students the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities such as clubs and organizations and avoid additional part-time work during the year so they can focus on academics. Students may even save up a little bit of money for a study abroad opportunity. 3. Volunteer work in your field Another excellent way for students to make a summer at home productive is to do some volunteer work within their major field of study. This is a little bit more complicated than filling mandatory volunteer hours to graduate high school in that the student will have to do a fair amount of research to find the best fit for them. There are many websites that help match potential volunteers with appropriate organizations, and once students turn 18, there are more things they can participate in within a professional environment. Some volunteer work is casual, and students can just attend a few hours a week while other positions are full-time and require an application similar to that for a paid job (READ: Why you should get a test prep tutor over the summer). 4. Road trip Another great way for students to fill their time while living at home during the summer is to go on an educational road trip. Depending on where a student lives, there are tons of things from natural habitats to state parks to national monuments that are of educational and historic interest. If a student travels to a neighboring state, they will be able to broaden their horizons and view life a little bit differently. Road trips are often ‘just for fun’ but they can also hold educational and cultural value. 5. Rest and recuperate Freshman year of college can be extremely draining because students need to adjust to the advanced academic rigors that are required. In many ways, just resting and relaxing after the first year of college can be of great benefit to students so they can fully participate in their sophomore year. Hopefully, college students will show up to their second year on campus with a renewed interest in education and ability to participate in more advanced educational courses.
