The document discusses the educational role of Web 2.0 technologies and the shift towards learner-produced and social learning. It defines Web 2.0 as technologies that enable reading, writing, sharing, social networking, and participation through blogs, wikis, and other collaboration tools. The document advocates using these tools to produce collaborative work and learning through case studies, while relating practices to one's own teaching. It notes that Web 2.0 requires learners to be producers in charge of their own learning process through social software and networks.
This document discusses asthma and contains true/false questions about common misconceptions regarding the condition. It notes that asthma is not psychological, episodes can be dangerous, and there are usually early warning signs before an episode. Different triggers can cause episodes and while there is no cure, asthma can be controlled through medication and avoiding triggers.

Telemedicine Clinic (TMC) is Europe’s leading teleradiology provider. TMC pioneered teleradiology services in Europe when it was founded in 2002 and has since become a vital partner for more than 100 radiology departments in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, UK, Spain and Germany. This year, our team of more than 120 highly specialised radiologists will report more than a quarter of a million cases, making a significant positive impact in the life of hospital staff and patients.
This is a book about our culture. About who we are, why we do what we do, and how we go about it. Our culture is the most precious asset our company has. In the long run, it will be our culture that determines our success. We need to preserve it and develop its strengths. We do not invent our culture with this book. We only document our existing culture and make it explicit. This book is a communication tool.
At the heart of our culture are our core purpose and our core values. Our core purpose reminds us why we are in this business. Our core values describe how we do things at TMC, the behaviours we need to consistently demonstrate in our daily work. We also explain the beliefs that lead us to hold and promote these specific values.
Common purpose and values create alignment, focus and help us make the right choices—in big and in small matters. All our decisions need to respect and reflect the philosophy expressed in this document.
We wrote this book for us, the team members of TMC. But we happily share our thoughts with clients, partners, vendors and people interested in working with us, hoping they hold us accountable to what we claim on these pages.
The document summarizes that the difference between poor and rich countries is not due to age, natural resources, or intellectual ability, but rather the attitudes and principles followed by their people. It lists principles like ethics, integrity, responsibility, respect for laws and others' rights, work ethic, savings, and punctuality that are followed by the majority in rich countries and a minority in poor countries. In conclusion, it states that countries are poor not due to lack of resources or nature, but due to lack of functional attitudes and will to teach these principles that make societies rich and developed.
Most Indians lack access to quality healthcare as specialists are concentrated in cities and rural healthcare is unreliable. This online consultation service provides second opinions and consultations from over 1000 specialists at major hospitals within 24 hours to address this issue. It has helped over 100,000 patients since 2008, often changing diagnoses or care plans. Patients have rated the process, procedures and quality of diagnosis and therapy very highly.

Astronomy curricula for different ages and cultural backgroundsJacekKupras
This document outlines astronomy curricula for different age groups and cultural backgrounds developed by EUNAWE Germany. It provides guidelines for teaching astronomy concepts to children ages 4-10 in a developmentally appropriate way that links both mythical and scientific thinking. Younger children ages 4-6 focus on observational skills and classification through stories and pretend play. Children ages 6-8 learn about the earth, sun, moon and planets through models and explanations while inspiring curiosity in astronomy. For ages 8-10, the curriculum emphasizes abstract thinking through hands-on observations, models, explanations and biographies of astronomers while introducing more advanced topics like other solar systems. The overall approach aims to foster interest in science, global citizenship and intercultural understanding.
EU-Universe Awareness uses astronomy to encourage children's interest in science and technology and foster global citizenship. Its Universe in a Box program provides hands-on activities and materials to teach difficult astronomy concepts simply to children ages 4-10. The program aims to help children understand their place in the greater universe through activities on the moon, earth, sun, planets, and constellations while promoting respect for other cultures and environmental stewardship. Universe in a Box uses a modular approach with inquiry-based learning to gradually expand children's worldview.
Curiosity is a car-sized Mars rover launching in 2011 to explore Gale Crater using a variety of scientific instruments. It will characterize the planet's geology and climate, assess biological potential, and prepare for future human exploration. Curiosity will use a sky crane maneuver for the first precise landing on Mars and employ a nuclear power source to investigate rocks and soil with tools including cameras, a laser, spectrometers, and a drill. The rover is expected to operate for one Martian year, relaying data to Earth via orbiters to further understand if Mars could have supported microbial life.
The document describes a 21st Century Skills Map created by The Partnership in cooperation with the National Science Teachers Association to illustrate the intersection between 21st Century Skills and the core subject of Science. The map was developed through extensive research and feedback from educators and business leaders. It provides examples of how skills like critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication can be integrated into Science learning at various grade levels. The goal is to help students advance their learning in core subjects and prepare for the future.

1. W stronę Księżyca: MoonKam (prawie) dla każdego
Jacek Kupras www.djkupras.blogspot.com
"Zapraszamy do wzięcia udziału w NASA MOONKam. NASA odda w marcu b.r., do dyspozycji uczniów szkół
na całym świecie pokładowe kamery dwóch sond kosmicznych GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior
Laboratory)." - można przeczytać na EuHou. Tak, EarthKam to nie wszystko, co Sally Ride Science oraz NASA mają
do zaoferowania naprawdę szerokiej publiczności, bowiem "polskie szkoły i projekty edukacyjne sa 'eligible', to znaczy
ze mogą się zarejestrowac i wziąć udział w misji, która rozpocznie się na początku marca." Tymczasem na stronie
projektu ukazał się krótki film, przedstawiający "ciemną" stronę Księżyca widzianą "oczami" jednej z sond Grail:
Rejestracja i udział w programie wymaga znajomości angielskiego. Pozwoliłem sobie jednak zrobić pewien
eksperyment i wczytując stronę uruchomiłem usługę tłumaczenia wbudowaną w moją przeglądarkę. Ponieważ
używam Chrome'a, to po każdym wczytaniu nowej obcojęzycznej strony ukazuje mi się widok jak poniżej:
Ponieważ tłumaczenia z angielskiego na polski bywają dość "koślawe", z reguły wolę oryginalny tekst. Tym razem
jednak postanowiłem zaryzykować, kliknąłem w przycisk Tłumacz i ...:
2. Choć wynik miejscami wygląda humorystycznie, to zawartość strony stała się zrozumiała nawet dla osoby totalnie
nieznającej angielskiego. Kliknąłem następnie Register Now wywołujący formularz rejestracji:
W tym przypadku tłumaczenie wyszło jeszcze lepiej, na przetłumaczonej stronie praktycznie nie ma językowych
"dziwolągów". Jak widać z wypełnieniem formularza rejestracji nie powinno być problemu, z wyjątkiem rzecz jasna
pewnego drobiazgu którym jest chęć.
3. Na zakończenie mam jeszcze ciekawostkę, na którą trafiłem u
Bruce'a Irvinga (fajnie, że jednak od czasu do czasu Bruce daje
znać że żyje). Pisze on o francuskiej grupie Air, która stworzyła
ścieżkę dźwiękową do niemego filmu z 1902r. "Wyprawa na
Księżyc". Na płycie znalazł się również sam film, w nowej,
pokolorowanej wersji. Z jego fragmentem można zapoznać się
na YouTube. Film w wersji oryginalnej można obejrzeć w sieci -
odsyłam do tekstu Tropami Galileusza: Niezłe kino:) który
powstał w prawie trzy lata temu, w trakcie Międzynarodowego
Roku Astronomii. Tak przy okazji - wówczas to właśnie luty był
dedykowany Księżycowi. Opracowane na tamtą
okazję materiały edukacyjne nic nie straciły ze swej aktualności
i mogą się przydać również gdy będziemy się zastanawiać nad
wyborem celów dla kamer MoonKamu. I pomyśleć, że
wszystko to rozpoczęło się od Galileusza. Ciekawe, jakie cele wybrałby on?
