Innovation and educational tools for the classroom

Es importante tomar conciencia de que un verdadero docente no puede limitarse al mero tradicionalismo sino que debe tener inquietudes y descubrir las nuevas metodologías existentes para así llevar a la práctica la parte que considere más oportuna y conseguir sesiones más motivadoras y provechosas para el alumnado. A través del presente artículo vamos a analizar por tanto la importancia de tener presente la innovación en el campo de la educación. Se trata de hacer un recorrido por las principales metodologías que actualmente se aplican y destacar algunas de las plataformas y herramientas más novedosas.It is important to be aware that a true teacher cannot be limited to mere traditionalism but must have concerns and must discover new methodologies to implement in order to achieve more motivating and profitable sessions for students. Therefore, in this article, we are going to analyze the importance of innovation in the educational field, taking a look at the main methodologies currently applied and highlighting some of the most innovative platforms and tools

The importance of approaching labor reality and work contracts for the students

Los datos estadísticos oficiales muestran que en los últimos años han aumentado las contrataciones laborales de los Técnicos de Formación Profesional frente a otro tipo de titulaciones. Por ello es de suma importancia que los estudiantes conozcan las características de los principales tipos de contratos laborales que pueden firmar y dominen los futuros derechos y obligaciones que se deriven de los mismos. En este artículo analizaremos cada una de las características más significativas de estos contratos y trataremos de fomentar una cultura de la realidad laboral dentro del sistema educativo.Official statistical data show that in the last few years labor contracts for Vocational Training Technicians have increased in comparison to other types of degrees. It is of upmost importance that students are aware of characteristics of the main types of employment contracts that they may sign and master future rights and obligations arising from them. In this article, we will analyze each of the most significant characteristics of these contracts and we will try to promote a culture of labor reality within the education system

The complete mitochondrial and plastid genomes of the invasive marine red alga Caulacanthus okamurae (Caulacanthaceae, Rhodophyta) from Moss Landing, California, USA

Caulacanthus okamurae is an invasive red alga that forms extensive mats in sheltered marine habitats around the world. To determine its genomic structure and genetic relationship to native and other non-native populations of C. okamurae, high-throughput sequencing analysis was performed on an introduced specimen from Bennett Slough, Moss Landing, California, USA. Assembly of 23,146,595 filtered 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequencing reads yielded its complete mitogenome (GenBank accession MT193839) and plastid genome (GenBank accession MT193838). The mitogenome is 25,995 bp in length and contains 50 genes. The plastid genome is 173,516 bp and contains 234 genes. Comparison of the organellar chromosomes to other Gigartinales revealed a high-level of gene synteny. BLAST analysis of marker sequences (rbcL, cox1, cox2) of C. okamurae from Moss Landing identified four identical DNA sequences: one from a specimen from a native population of C. okamurae from South Korea and three from specimens representing invasive populations from France, Spain, and the USA. These genetic results confirm the presence of C. okamurae in central California, USA, and represent the first complete mitogenome and plastid genome from the Caulacanthaceae
