Have you ever thought backwards in time about how you learned things in the past? Or are you more like me when you think about how you are going to learn things in the future? In these fast paced days in my life, I am pre-occupied with the future and how I am going to teach the newer generation of technologists. There is a lot available to teachers today like, textbooks, videos, online distance learning and of course the traditional classroom and curriculum. However, change is coming into the educational scene.

Well, if you have taken advantage of the information I post from time to time this might be useful to you.  I get many industry newsletters everyday and I do go through them when time permits.  I have been saving a few of them to make a small post out of them when I had enough to do so.

I know how that might sound but it really does take a lot of people who are real experts in the educational field to plan school subjects properly with well balanced subjects.  Even to come up with curriculum that will help the young student get to where they would like to be someday takes even more careful planning.

R&D can work together with the Casino Industry

Diversification is needed to share the risk in your financial portfolio.  But what happens when cities and towns do not share that same risk idea?  There is an initiative to bring different high tech jobs and manufacturing to the desert area we call Las Vegas.  Casinos and Shows can be exciting but jobs are needed for the large work force that is outside of that industry.  A Research and Development Center is being thought about if the right people can get behind it.  A Silicon Valley in the Desert?

What Happens When Oil Coats the Ocean Surface?

By Corporal Willy, June 30th, 2010

        I had to do a little backyard experiment to test out what I was pretty sure I knew already.  It is not surprising that Crude Oil and Ocean Water affect each other, but did you think about this?  The results were alarming.

A Combination of Really Good Things Leads to Championships.

 By Corporal Willy May 24th, 2010

    A truly interesting visit was made to the Cimarron-Memorial High School very recently in which our SolidWorks User Group was able to have the World Champion Robotics Team do a presentation in both technical and actual demonstrations.  We were all entertained and had lots of fun watching they young people show us their creations.

 A Memorable Trip 

By Corporal Willy April 2010

   I took some pictures on my way back from driving a truck to haul my son's stuff to California.  I asked myself are some states going to have electric power and others not enough?  Who will have to pay a high premium to those that do have it in abundance?  Come along and hear some of my thoughts and see some pictues too as I drive along?

PayBac

    Is it ever worthwhile to help guide children into a better life?  We the members of PayBac, think it is.  A quote I saw many years ago that I don't know the author of states and I quote " We never stand so high as when we stoop to help a child."

Power, Features, Tools, Capabilities and NOW Turbo Charged to Boot. 

By Corporal Willy, April 7th, 2010

  It is hard to keep a good man down and it is just as hard to keep a program like TurboCAD from hitting new heights and it is moving aside those that thought they were safe from competitors.  The latest most powerful TurboCAD yet is version 17 Professional and it has just recently hit the shelves.  This is a "can do CAD" program that is seriously worth your looking at it.

Kicking Off Cardboard Constructions in Schools

By Corporal Willy, Feb. 23rd 2010

Education should not be boring and unrelated to things that kids cannot understand.  The idea here is to help make education fun, which will leave a long lasting learning experience in their minds.  When a teacher sees that the class is fully involved and interested in a project, it can be a great pleasure to teach with great results.  Check out what happened here in this instance.

 Free to Teachers and Anyone else that can use them.

by Corporal Willy,  Jan. 8, 2010

    Santa left this under my Tree by mistake and I am one of his official helpers too.  I know he didn't mean to do it.  He thought I was a teacher, so I will have to write him when he gets back off of his well deserved vacation after doing that extraordinary one day event.  He uses elves for the most part to do much of the work, so when he makes a little mistake I am there to help fix things.  Here is something he wanted me to have but it really was meant for our teachers, so I'm posting these two web site links so you can check things out for yourselves.
