English. DR Congo Olympians 'missing' in London. 13 August 2012Last updated at 15:28 ET Cedric Mandembo lost his first judo match in London after 49 seconds Four members of the Democratic Republic of Congo's Olympic delegation have gone missing in London, reports say. Cedric Mandembo, who competed in judo, and coaches with the athletics, boxing and judo teams have not been seen since the closing ceremony on Sunday.
The DR Congo - represented in London by four athletes - failed to win a single medal. The delegation is due to fly back home later this week. More than a week ago, five Cameroonian boxers deserted their Olympic squad. The boxers told the BBC they wanted to stay in the UK to develop their careers. 'I don't know' Mandembo competed in the +100kg (220lb) category in London, but lost his first match after 49 seconds. The four other missing Congolese officials are reportedly boxing coach Blaise Bekwa, athletics coach Guy Nkita and judo coach Ibula Masengo. "I don't know. English iPad Apps. Home.

Skipped school quite a bit, and I really didn't find education exciting until I got to college, because then I got to control how I was going to learn. My name is Stephen Zipkes, I'm the founding principal Manor New Technology High School, in Manor Independent School District, Manor, Texas. Manor New Tech is a 100 percent project based instruction school. Students at this school not only get the knowledge, but they learn the application, so the knowledge then becomes relevant when they have to apply it to a real world situation. Mary: I'm super excited about this project about the Hunger Games.
Michael: So what's your standards you're going to be covering in this? Mary: We're going to do 5A, which is analyzing scenes, 5B, analyzing different characters' moral dilemmas, and this is huge. Steven: We have no choice on what we teach, really. Mary: What are yours again, that we're hitting, so I can go ahead and write this out? Student: Okay, we done here? I Teach English to Great Kids...A Blog: Goodreads in the Classroom: Reprise. I've been using Goodreads with my students now for over a year and we love it. Okay, I love it and most of them like it more than I thought they would. Last spring I started using it with juniors and this year I have used it with my freshmen all year long. Students can set up a Goodreads account using their Google login information. That's a great short cut for them. I haven't tested that with a Google Apps for Education account, so I'm not sure if that would work.
My students add me as a friend on Goodreads and then I can see their updates about the books they are reading, and their book reviews. I am amazed at the insights Goodreads gives me about their reading behavior. With my freshmen this year I found they needed a push to read independently. Today I asked students to use the recommend feature to suggest books to friends and me. NOTE: Good reads will suggest recommendations for you if you have rated over 20 books. *My original post about Goodreads in the classroom. 2. 3. Technology and Education | Box of Tricks. Posted by José Picardo on October 17, 2011 Triptico is an excellent resource for teachers to use in conjunction with their interactive whiteboards that currently contains around 20 different interactive resources – all of which can be easily edited, adapted and saved for later use.
Because Triptico is an application that runs in your computer (it runs on Adobe Air, so it’s compatible with both Macs and PCs), it can be used with any make and model of interactive whiteboard. This and the fact that it is free makes Triptico an absolute must have for every teacher wishing to make better use of technology in the classroom to engage students and foster classroom participation.
Once you have installed and launched the application, you can explore the different activities available by scrolling from left to right in the main screen or simply by clicking on favourites, which returns an very handy navigation pane. What do you think about these resources? José Picardo. Learning Made Easy - For Educators.
