From evidence to action - it’s time to join the dots
A new research report says it's time to 'join the dots' and scale up successful examples of flexible learning systems to meet the 21st Century education needs of all Australian school students. The Case, released by the Dusseldorp Forum, brings together the findings of national consultations, a review of research evidence, and a review of current education policy and practice. The independent philanthropic foundation highlights the fact that one in five high-school-aged students in Australia are currently not attending school. It adds although retention rates to Year 12 have increased, recent research shows 21 per cent of youngsters leave school in Australia without a Year 12 qualification. The foundation estimates more than 600 000 students in the high school age group could benefit from more flexible and inclusive learning approaches; and the good news is there are already plenty of examples of effective practice across the country to build on.

Livre - La guerre de trente ans | Conflits
Des conflits interminables, des alliances improbables, le politique et le religieux souvent mêlés… La guerre de trente ans sous la direction de Marie-Nöelle Faure retrace les événements tout en incluant et interrogeant le ressenti des témoins d’époque. La guerre de Trente Ans, qui se déroule principalement sur le territoire du Saint Empire romain germanique, représente une mutation d’ampleur dans l’ordre européen. Elle marque la fin du Moyen-Âge, la disparition de l’idée d’un Empire universel suite à l’affirmation du fait national. A lire aussi: Podcast.

You are a global educator. It's time to start thinking like one
True online global collaboration takes place when students with different cultures and points of view gather information and co-create artifacts together, building knowledge and sharing with the world. Schools that foster this type of learning must have: Educators who participate in online global collaboration need professional support in understanding how to build engaging and successful relationships with others at a distance so that deeper global learning is realized. Online global collaboration features a number of typical or usual behaviors and actions, called norms, that are found in both synchronous and asynchronous modes. The eight norms of online global collaboration Be Prepared (connect, communicate)Have a PurposeBe able to ParaphraseBe able to PerceiveMake sure you ParticipateBe PositiveBe ProductiveRealize the Potential Be productive Productivity is a critically important norm. This norm homes in on collaboration and shares essential practices while learning globally online.

L’empreinte spatiale de l’ancienne frontière interallemande dans le Berlin d’aujourd’hui
1La frontière internationale qui sépara les deux Allemagnes, depuis le découpage du Reich en secteurs d’occupation en 1945 jusqu’à la réunification en 1990, a résumé à elle seule le conflit entre les blocs durant la Guerre Froide. A Berlin, la construction du Mur en 1961 a figé ces tensions sur un espace restreint et urbanisé. En cela, le contexte berlinois est à distinguer de la frontière qui traversait le territoire allemand de Lübeck à Hof ou même du Rideau de Fer, du fait de son caractère d’enclave hautement symbolique de l’Allemagne de l’Ouest dans le territoire de la RDA. 2Cet article présente un cas d’étude inclassable. Il ne peut s’assimiler complètement à l’examen d’une frontière comme on en trouve dans l’espace Schengen, c’est-à-dire une ligne qui tend à disparaître et n’empêche plus une coopération transfrontalière de plus en plus développée puisqu’à Berlin, l’ancienne fracture ne divise plus deux Etats et a juridiquement totalement disparu.

Networks, Networking and Network Literacy – Part One – Linking Learning
As I continue my research into how teachers experience learning through Personal Learning Networks (PLNs), I am spending a lot of time learning about networks, networking and network literacy. Before the internet became almost ubiquitous in the developed world, to many people the idea of networking may have meant dressing in business clothes, and attending some type of function, making small talk and exchanging business cards. Conferences and functions such as this still occur, and certain industries still depend on having the right background and knowing the ‘right’ people. However, networking is rapidly changing, and having network literacy now means more than the ability to balance a serviette and hors d’oeuvre while also shaking hands and looking impressive. This post began as an attempt to take on the huge area of networks, networking and network literacy. However, I am realising that one blog post will not do it justice. Are Networks Important? What are Networks? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
