Yello Wood Finger Board



Anyone who enjoys a spend time observing people and what happens around him can find great satisfaction going up on public transport.


I climbed on the subway, gaining a little corner where you can also put my luggage, when looking up I noticed an elderly woman sitting not far from me. He wore dark glasses with big lenses, light brown hair conveyed the unnaturalness of their color, her tiny body showed signs of old age, his skin tanned vaguely similar to the fragile tissue paper. She was dressed in an accurate but simple, with particular attention to detail.

dachshund in her arms a fawn: the look proud, composed attitude, the look impenetrable. Sitting on the legs of his mistress from time to time he dropped his head on the shoulder of the woman, leaning slowly toward her. For any movement, the woman approached showing the natural affection that united them. Continue their dance of contacts, whose time was sometimes marked by dachshund, sometimes by the woman.

lose myself in their movements and could not help but smile tenderly proud of compounds, in a dirty, smelly subway full of people crowded together, they confirmed their belonging together, as if had nothing else in the world but themselves.


Their dance was abruptly interrupted by the voice of a woman who could not see, but I guessed it had to be sitting right in front of my pair. High-volume voice praising the beauty of the dachshund and gave great ideas to his boss to tell of his precious companion.

The subway stopped, many people came down and I finally was able to identify where it came from the voice: it was a great lady, vulgar movements and inappropriate words. However the elderly woman did not matter that the voice had broken a sweet and melodious rhythm and crept Allanton now to the harmony of their movements. The dachshund, on the contrary seemed quite annoyed by this intrusion and begins staring coldly that she was facing. Meanwhile, his mistress, regardless of the questions that the woman placed on the animal began the story of his amazing story.


The dachshund was a female, was called Akkub. She had been donated by the wife of Commander Che Guevara when he was only a few months. He was fed only with appropriate choice meat from the butcher, cooked and served with boiled zucchini pasta: what one might say a balanced diet.


But after a few stories, the old woman seemed to have decided to return to its previous state and together with the dachshund, they resume their position, scompostasi following discontinuation.


I got to my stop leaving inappropriate voice that tried to resume his disruptive and my careless couple who took over the dance of his membership.

Velicity Tear Trousers

JumPC

Tuttoscuola public, "Brunetta: soon a million PCs in primary schools."

Dschola TV posts a video on the progress of the project of introducing netbooks in primary schools.

The comments of children, teachers and parents are thrilled. Also I would love to use JumPC with my students.

But I wonder: who will train the teachers? And above all, how many have the desire to innovate school renewing?

How To Become Basketball Referee In Florida

passions and emotions

I confess that I approached the course of training policies with a sense of boredom, phew ... will be the "usual" in the classroom, with many books to study ...

Well, I have to think again. I'm reading the text "Geopedagogia" Raniero kingdoms mentioned by Henry in his post , and meeting so many considerations, many ideas, which have resulted in this course, the blogs of colleagues, and to Andreas reported in other blogs, like those of Gianni Marconato and Antonio Saccoccio .

In particular page. 27, by the opposition places / non-places, the author asks: "The school is becoming a non-place? A space that does not take any more, neither students nor teachers how to develop the school into a welcoming place ?.

Antonio Saccoccio in a reply to a comment writes: "@ John, I agree. Issues such as the decline of attention by me under daily observation. I'm trying to avoid by adopting different strategies. I tell you that so far a winner thrill the kids, talk to them with passion. That they can "distract you from disattezione.

Always Prof kingdoms in the book "The school in Europe," writes "Because there is a desire to learn there must be pleasure and joy. Passion is the mother of thought, emotion is the mother of knowledge. Then it is necessary to promote forms of social spaces and animated by the desire to create social connections and thought ".

I like this combination of thoughts, this" match "of views. Passion, emotion and involvement are key elements that really trigger in the students a desire to learn, but we must also apply to teachers. Only a passionate teacher who gets excited at seeing the "achievements" of its pupils, a teacher who is creative challenges, careful to pick up the signals of distress that arise daily in our classrooms, a teacher who designs and redesigns based on the input coming from their students succeed in creating a peaceful learning environment , interesting and motivating.

writes Claudia : "The teacher can not think of applying the infinite standard repertoire, but his box of tools must be open, modernized, updated and most often used."

When the teacher plays the role with passion and enthusiasm, the students respond, commit, give a contribution, they accept the effort even if prolonged. This is only my opinion.

And you, what do you think?

Giorgina How I wanted to document an activity done with my pupils for the first course in educational psychology and evolutionary processes.
The theme was "the dream" and the questions were three:

  • Where are the dreams?

  • With what do you dream?

  • When you're in bed and dreams, where is the dream?

demand and led to a conversation in which every child has expressed his ideas ... Some were amazing :-)
then each transferred into a drawing a dream.

How To Write Tv Program Proposal

And now?

I too have been impressed by the images of the seminar Andreas: engaging, funny (which nice to hear laughter the kids!), certainly a surprise, in fact I found myself laughing alone here in my study, but also to reflect.

But the image that struck me most and that I have in mind is that of Andreas, before starting his "lesson", move the chair in a corner, the chair that still characterizes it strongly ' school environment-and to teach a certain type of class. Dismissing the chair, Andreas has "abdicated" its role as a teacher to establish a direct relationship with no barriers, with his students.

And now ...?

From Friday evening there is a question I pounds, how can I replicate in my class lesson Andreas? In my mind there is a small light that effort, however, to materialize.

This is certainly the course that gave me more food for thought in these three years of college, is the course that has a deeper crisis in the model school where I work every day, the way I teach, my report with children, my approach to knowledge. The issues we face are absolutely current, reflecting the moment we are living, concern about the world in which they are immersed our students, but also with an eye to the future. It is not a course that looks back at the past, but part of this, from what is, to project into the future.

These days I have thought much about my students, that make a huge effort to pay attention, to focus, to maintain a long-...
These students are very different from those of five years ago, we must realize that you will never go back, will never again be schoolchildren than once. The school must change, we must do something to adapt to our students, following the methods of approach and working methods that characterize them. It is true that they are unwilling to learn, indeed, but want to learn in different ways; much they want to talk, to express their feelings, have a great desire to interact with their peers, we must start from their needs, from "how "and" as live "on / in the world today. On these items you need to set our intervention.
