In his blog post “La Mancha and the Heart of a Teacher” Pete Reilly draws a parallel between how Don Quixote, the famous ‘knight of woeful countenance’, sees Aldonza and how teachers (should) see their pupils: I believe it is essential for teachers to have the heart of ‘Don Quixote’, the Man of La Mancha. Don [...] Die Pädagogin Melanie Unbekannt, alias “Literatenmelu”, hat in ihrem Blog dazu aufgerufen, dem Motto “Mehr Bildung in Blogs” gemäß einige Aspekte zu behandeln, die mit der Erinnerung an die eigene Schulzeit, mit damaligem und heutigem Medieneinsatz, mit der Lehrerausbildung und der Rolle des Internets für die Nachhilfe zu tun haben. Da es inzwischen schon mehrere [...] Taylor Mali has made another poem about his (and our) profession: Miracle Workers is about our daily bread, as it were. The final lines give a good impression of the general tone of the poem: “Education’s the miracle, I’m just the worker./But I’m a teacher, /And that’s what we do.” This is a lot less [...] The TED site (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, founded in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds; since then its scope has become ever broader) offers a speech by Jose Antonio Abreu “on kids transformed by music” (16:58). On The New York Times’s op-ed page, William Falk, the editor in chief of The Week magazine, alerts us to some things that happened while our attention was absorbed by the two party conventions (is it necessary to add that we’re talking about “political parties”? not the ones where you get food and drink [...] The fabulous Language Log has quite an amusing (and informative) posting today: Test obscenity, taboo avoidance, and prescriptivism. It is about how two websites, Times online and Associated Press, manage to avoid actually printing the obscenity which pupils wrote on the GCSE exam papers, and not so much about the fact that these pupils in [...] I thought I had written a post on this about a year ago – but as I went through the TulgeyWood archives, no Mali post turned up. So it appears I had just bookmarked it or only put it on my YouTube favorites list. Anyway. I still find it impressive, funny and – in a [...] Die Comedy-Serie “Not! The Nine O’Clock News” lief zum ersten Mal im April 1979, und nach einigen Änderungen bei der Besetzung blieb man bei diesen vier Protagonisten: Rowan Atkinson, Mel Smith, Griff Rhys Jones und Pamela Stephenson. Ähnlich kreativ und witzig wie “Monty Python”, aber weniger aggressiv, wurde die Reihe bald so populär, dass man [...] The following video was published by AdCouncil – and it very cleverly demonstrates how permanently the internet preserves everything you put up somewhere … at some homepage or guestbook or blog. It won’t go away. Ever. Comedian Seanie, master imitator of accents, offers two videos on his web site where he gives his audience a quick course on all (or most of) the accents of the British Isles, starting in his native Scotland, going south, east and west … Quite enjoyable. Accents of the British Isles (~ 17 minutes) dto, DELUXE edition (~ [...] |
