How Has Technology Helped In Memory Retention For Exam Success

0

This may sound absurd, but teachers are as stressed by exams as students are. After all, how the students fair in their tests is a direct reflection of the capabilities of their teachers. The entirety of the situation depends on the students in question – they cannot hope for good results if they cannot retain the information that has been given to them.

However, this does not mean that there is no way for teachers to ensure that their students perform better in their exams. Using alternative methods of teaching, especially those involving technology, can yield positive results. Using the right kind of technology is very important for MBA admissions consultants.

The right kind of technology for the classroom

Audio-Visual Technology

Nowadays, most smart classrooms come equipped with a whiteboard, a projector, and a computer. The purpose of this is to promote the use of audiovisual techniques of teaching. Instead of providing students with a verbal account of events, teachers can now show them the real deal with the audiovisual equipment.

This has shown to have a significant positive effect on the performance of the students, enabling them to engage and immerse themselves in the lesson completely and therefore retaining a lot of the information they have gathered. Of course, simply using the audiovisual method won’t be of much use- teachers also need to find the appropriate content they want to put forth in front of their students.

For example, a boring documentary that runs on for hours will quickly put the students off, while shorter videos that are fun and interesting will keep them hooked. The teacher needs to use their discretion while using this technology.

The art of flexible teaching

The classroom has always had a limited amount of resources, a limitation that did not allow teachers to experiment with their methods much. With the arrival of the internet, this problem has been dispelled.

Instead of rigorously sticking to a pre-planned lesson plan or method of teaching, teachers can now talk about a wide variety of topics, and even encourage students to give their opinions on certain matters. You will be able to keep the attention of each and every student on yourself when you do this, and having the students engage in such a detailed way will help them remember a lot of the discussions that had taken place in your class.

For example, if you are talking to the students about environmental studies, you can show them certain relative information in the classroom space itself for them to remember it during the exam.

Technology helps in revision too

Since you can achieve an advanced level of interactivity, engagement, and flexibility with the help of technology in the classroom, it also helps them when they are revising for their exam. As a teacher, you can also impart some of the information from your classroom to the students to help them during the revision process.

For example, if you have used a PowerPoint presentation to aid your lectures, you can share it with your students before the exam to help them revise the topics concerned. It’s a great way to keep the students certain that they have all the information they need to ace the exam.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds: Where to Find the Best Sniper Rifles

0
pubg-kar98k

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds features three different sniper rifles to use in-game, or four if you count the Kar98K. Finding a sniper rifle early significantly increases your chances of winning the game, but unlike H1Z1, they can be found outside of just airdrops. Rather, you can find them around the map, though they are quite rare and you’ll likely have to place yourself in harm’s way to scavenge them. Here’s where you can find the best sniper rifles in Battlegrounds.

pubgmapoverview-6763351

AWM

The AWM is absolutely absurd. If you find one, I would recommend quickly finding a suitable secondary then immediately leaving. This is by and far the best sniper rifle, and you want to protect yourself with distance.

You should be one-shotting most other players with this gun, but be aware: when other players hear you shoot, you will be hunted.

Availability: Extremely Rare.

Usual Locations

I’ve encountered this sniper rifle twice in Battlegrounds and they’ve only ever come from the airdrops.

M24

The M24 is nearly as great as the AWM, but slightly less powerful. You aren’t going to one-shot many players with this sniper rifle unless they’ve failed to heal themselves completely, or unless you get a headshot.

I would still treat the weapon like an AWM by heading to the woods once you’ve found it.

Availability: Super Rare.

Usual Locations

Similar to the AWM, one M24 may spawn within the Military Base or Georgopol. However, you might also find the sniper rifle in the gun range in Battlegrounds — the one located within the J7, D3 gridmarker. I wouldn’t bank on any sniper rifles being found in random houses. They are generally tied to higher populated areas.

SKS

The SKS is the only sniper rifle in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that features a semi-automatic fire rate. It’s not slow, per se, but there’s a small delay between shots.

When you encounter players without armor you should be getting kills with only two shots to the chest. When you face off against players that have armor, it’ll take you three.

Availability: Super Rare.

Usual Locations

The SKS can be found everywhere the M24 spawns are, but the semi-automatic also bleeds into a few of the smaller cities. In addition, you might also find the SKS at the Mylta Powerplant.

Kar98K (Assault Rifle)

The Kar98K is a rifle you should only pick up when there’s nothing else available. It’s extremely mediocre, in my opinion, but might still get you a few kills. It has a slow fire rate and takes three hits to kill another player without armor.

Trade it out for an assault rifle or different sniper rifle when you get the chance.

Availability: Common.

Usual Locations

You can find the Kar98K almost everywhere in PUBG — they even spawn in sheds occasionally.

Sniper rifles in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds are quite rare and you should protect your find when you scavenge one. Keep your distance and let the shots ring out.

Not only is Bungie changing the weapon slot system in Destiny 2, they are also implementing a new category of gun: the submachine gun. Following the gameplay reveal of the game, Bungie allowed attendees to playtest an early version of Destiny 2, which held a number of different weapons including three new Exotics.

Submachine Guns

During his playtest, MoreConsole found two different submachine guns available for the Titan Striker: the Phosphoros MG4 and the Red Mamba-3MG. Both of the two submachine guns found were classed in the new Energy weapon slot.

It seems as though all of the submachine guns with have a shared perk, Lightweight, which allows you to move faster while using an SMG. As shown in both pictures, there’s a second modifier that may be randomly assigned when the gun is dropped. The two modifiers shown are:

  • Melee kills reload a portion of the magazine.
  • Grants a short period of Increased Stability and Accuracy on initial trigger pull.

You can preview some of the other weapons that are included for the Titan Striker in the video below.

Exotic Weapons

Three of the new Exotic weapons were available during the Destiny 2 playtest: the Sunshot, Sweet Business, and Riskrunner.

Sunshot

The Sunshot is a hand cannon and was given to all Hunters during the playtest. The weapon deals 200 attack damage, and can shoot 150 rounds per minute. Here are the perks for the Sunshot are the following:

  • Sunburn, which produces explosive rounds which highlight targets.
  • Sunshot, which makes enemies explode in Solar Energy.

Sweet Business

Sweet Business is the Exotic auto-rifle carried by the Titan Striker subclass available after the gameplay reveal. It deals 200 damage and can fire up to 360 rounds per minute. Here are the perks that were attached to the weapon during the playtest:

  • Payday increases hip fire accuracy and total ammunition in the magazine.
  • The other perk title isn’t actually listed and only shows a placeholder icon. However, when you hold down the trigger, you will receive a boost to the weapon’s range and rate of fire. In addition, whenever you pick up ammunition, it’ll automatically load into your magazine.

Riskrunner

The Riskrunner was provided to the Warlock class during the event playtest. The Exotic Warlock weapon is an SMG which deals 200 damage at 750 rounds per minute. As for perks, it has the following:

  • Arc Conductor increases your weapon’s power when you take Arc Damage.
  • The other perk adds a modifier to the weapon allowing it to fire chain lightning shots and return ammo. This perk only activates when Arc Conductor is active.

You can preview the Exotic weapons in the video below.

Destiny 2 releases on September 8 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, while the PC version has no set release date yet.

Call of Duty: WW2 Guns Confirmed

call-of-duty-ww2-guns-2

As confirmed through in-game and development footage shown during the worldwide reveal, Call of Duty: WWII brings back many of the notable weapons from the Great War era. We were able to catch only glimpses of a few of the guns, though some were expressly revealed by Sledgehammer themselves.

Since Call of Duty: WWII is returning to its roots, many of these guns were seen in previous titles. Many of them will feature identical ammo capacities and firing rates, though the “feel” be different. The minute fine-tuning from CoD title after the CoD title should have the weapons feel more rewarding or fluid.

Without further ado, here are all the weapons confirmed for Call of Duty: WWII:

Thompson Submachine Gun

The Thompson was first seen after the initial reveal announcement as Activision changed their Call of Duty login page.

Call of Duty’s Tommy Gun is an infamous addition in every version it’s been featured in.

Kar98K

As an effective German bolt-action rifle, no World War II game feels complete without it. The Kar98K was shown for just a second in the trailer but was shown in greater detail during the behind-the-scenes footage.

M1918 BAR

Though heavily used in World War II, the BAR was not straight up shown during the reveal but was seen at various angles throughout the trailer. Its unique barrel separates it from most other World War II weaponry and will reappear in Call of Duty: WWII.

The soldier on the far right is holding the BAR.

M1 Bazooka

Shown in development footage of CoD: WWII, the Bazooka should come as no surprise. There may not always be vehicles to point it at, but there’s fun with using it on random enemies.

codwwiiguns5-6928235

M1 Garand

Of all the World War II weapons, the M1 Garand is a unique and surprisingly fitting for shooters. Hearing the M1’s “ping” when emptied is, personally, extremely satisfying.

codwwiiguns3-1944240

MG42

We may see this weapon available in the multiplayer, though it may be only available as a terrain-fixed addition on some maps.

codwwiiguns-5187283

M1903 Springfield

When playing as a sniper in Call of Duty: WWII, you should expect to unlock the M1903 Springfield at some point. The Springfield rivals the Kar98K in appearances in video games.

codwwiiguns1-8242453

Grease Gun

Officially named the M3, this gun uses .45 caliber rounds just like the Thompson. The Grease Gun was cheaper to produce and lighter but was not as accurate.

codwwiiguns2-1066431

Not all of these weapons will be available in Call of Duty: WWII’s multiplayer, though everything should be included in the single-player campaign.

Call of Duty: WII pre-orders are now available and the game releases on November 3 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
