The document describes a project using Wikis through the eTwinning platform to teach history and civic education. Students from Spain and Bulgaria researched the history of cities like Madrid and Kazanlak, developing pages on the wiki about each city's history, buildings, and culture. The goals were for students to practice English, collaborate internationally, and learn about being European citizens. Teachers acted as facilitators while students took the lead in researching, setting up wiki pages, and reaching agreements through discussion features. Despite differences, initial results found students enjoyed learning about each other's cities and cultures.

UNICollaboration.eu is a platform developed by Robert O'Dowd to facilitate telecollaborative practice between universities. The platform was created based on a review that found telecollaboration is still seen as an add-on activity rather than an integrated part of university study. The objectives were to review telecollaboration in European universities, develop solutions to increase academic integration, and create an online platform with tools, resources and networks. The resulting UNICollaboration.eu platform allows users to search for classes interested in online exchange projects, create profiles to connect with other classes, access task collections and assessments, learn about setting up exchanges through sample projects and training modules, and discuss issues with colleagues.

Maharauk13 plus sshots
Mahara is a creative space that allows students to tell their own stories and showcase their work through a narrative approach. The narrative approach forces students to consider their audience and purpose, and gives them autonomy over their presentation. However, it also presents challenges as there is no set model to follow and students must be resourceful in getting support and acquiring new skills. Examples of student work submitted in Mahara demonstrate creation using mixed media, consideration of audience, development of intercultural skills, and increased digital competencies.

La Edad Media: El Feudalismo
Este documento describe el sistema feudal que surgió en Europa durante la Edad Media después de la caída del Imperio Romano. Bajo este sistema, los reyes entregaban tierras a los nobles a cambio de lealtad y servicios militares. Los nobles, a su vez, dividían las tierras entre los caballeros. La mayoría de la población eran campesinos que vivían y trabajaban en las tierras de los nobles, pagando impuestos y cuotas a cambio de protección. El documento también explica los roles de la Iglesia, los nobles
The Middle Ages: Feudlism
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Europe lacked central governments and faced constant warfare between kingdoms. As kings had no professional armies, peasants turned to local nobles for protection in exchange for their labor and submission. This led to the development of feudalism, a social system where peasants were bound to manors and obliged to work for lords, who in turn provided military service to the king. Society was divided into estates of clergy, nobles, and workers. Feudalism dominated the political and economic organization of medieval Europe.
The bombing of hiroshima
The document summarizes the bombing of Hiroshima during World War 2. [1] In July 1945, the US successfully tested an atomic bomb and President Truman decided to use it against Japan.

[3] The intense heat and radiation killed tens of thousands immediately and caused widespread destruction.
II World War
1. Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939 starting World War 2 in Europe. Using blitzkrieg tactics, Germany swiftly defeated Poland and then invaded Western Europe in 1940, occupying France.
2. Britain survived the German air attacks during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Germany then invaded the Soviet Union in 1941 but its army was stopped near Moscow by the harsh Russian winter.
3. The tide turned against Germany as the Allies invaded Italy and the Soviets pushed the Germans back on the Eastern Front. On June 6, 1944 the Allies launched D-Day and invaded German-occupied Northern France. Germany surrendered in May 1945.
Hitler and the Nazis
The document discusses the rise of the Nazi party in Germany from 1919 to 1945, including how Hitler became Chancellor in 1933 and established a totalitarian dictatorship. It describes how the Nazis gained support by reducing unemployment and appealing to nationalist sentiment, but also discusses the repression of political opponents and persecution of Jews under the Nazi regime.
The Weimar Republic
The document summarizes the establishment and challenges of the Weimar Republic in Germany following World War 1. It discusses how Germany was defeated and faced chaos, influenza and harsh peace terms from the Allies to become a democracy. Despite opposition, elections were held and the Social Democratic Party came to power. However, the Republic faced opposition from Communists and nationalist groups as well as severe economic problems due to reparations and the Ruhr occupation. The Dawes Plan provided loans that stabilized the economy in the mid-1920s under Foreign Minister Stresemann, who improved foreign relations through the Locarno Treaties and Germany's entry into the League of Nations. However, long term economic and political stability relied on continued foreign loans.
Roaring twenties
This document provides an overview of the economic boom of the 1920s in the United States and its eventual collapse.

Charles V was born in Ghent in 1500 and became King of Spain in 1516, ruling alongside his mother Joanna the Mad. His empire contained territories in the Low Countries, the Crown of Castile including American possessions, the Crown of Aragon, Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia. In 1558, Charles abdicated his possessions, giving the Holy Roman Empire to his brother Ferdinand and his Spanish possessions including Spain, Italy, Flanders, and the Americas to his son Philip II.
Charles II, the bewitched
Charles II was the last king of Spain from the Hapsburg dynasty who ruled from 1661 until 1700. He took the throne at age 4, so his mother ruled as regent until 1675 which led to social and economic crises in Spain. Charles' foreign policy was characterized by wars and loss of territories worldwide. Without a son, he named Philip of Bourbon as his successor in exchange for France returning conquered lands. After his death, the Spanish War of Succession resulted in Spain losing more lands to France and Germany.

The ribat of madrid rachel tania[1]
The Ribat of Madrid was a small fortified community built between 860-880 AD by order of Emir Muhammad I. It consisted of a 2 km walled enclosure that housed a castle-fortress, civilian medina, and mosque, home to between 2,000-3,000 people. The Ribat was strategically located on the Manzanares River to defend against Christian conquest. After reconquest, it was expanded and renamed the Royal Alcazar of Madrid, which now occupies the site of the original Ribat as the modern-day Royal Palace of Madrid.
The fundation of madrid by the muslims
The Muslims first established control over Madrid between 860-880 AD when Emir Muhammad I ordered the construction of a ribat, or fortress, in the location of the current Royal Palace of Madrid. The ribat was built to monitor traffic on the Manzanares River and defend against attacks from Christian kingdoms. Remains of important early Muslim monuments in Madrid include parts of an Islamic watchtower in Oriente Square and segments of the old Muslim city walls near the Royal Palace and in the Almudena Cathedral crypt. Madrid derives its name from "Mayrit," how the Muslims referred to the land rich in water located within the ribat. The ribat thus formed the foundation for the city of Madrid.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
