The Top 10 Digital Learning Apps Teachers Can Actually Use (By a Teacher Who Actually Uses Them). 2012 has been an amazing year for my growth as a professional. The main catalyst of this growth was when I started engaging with like-minded educationalists around the world on Twitter in January of this year. In particular, I learnt about new methodologies like brain-based learning, flipping the classroom and a variety of technology-based teaching aids. The area I explored most fervently was the bewildering array of educational software and apps for learning. Keep in mind that these are applications I have actually used, and my analysis is based on my own experience in applying these in my own classroom context. Ready? 1. Edmodo is a safe and secure social networking platform for students, teachers and parents. But the best thing about Edmodo is the ability it gives you to create and award badges to students for doing great things. 2. I like Pinterest mainly for how effortlessly I can create of boards and add pins even on an iPad. 3. 4. 5. Goodwill Community Foundation. 1. 2. 3. 5. 6.

Witajcie! Witajcie! Zainspirowany komentarzem użytkownika syrena_elektro postanowiłem napisać kilka rad i wskazówek dla ludzi którzy chcą zacząć uczęszczać na siłownie. Sam specem w temacie nie jestem jednak postaram się podzielić z Wami tym czego nauczyłem się podczas 1.5 roku swoich treningów na profesjonalnej siłowni a później swojej własnej domowej. Wiedzę czerpałem najpierw od instruktorów a później z internetu, w większości przypadków z forum sfd.pl + własne doświadczenia, próby i eksperymenty. Jeśli napiszę jakąś bzdurę, fachowcy niech mnie poprawią. Oczywiście wszystkie rady będą dotyczyły treningu amatorskiego, można by rzec rekreacyjnego ;) Na początek: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. -pierwszy dzień treningowy: Klatka + Biceps -drugi dzień treningowy: Plecy + triceps -trzeci dzień treningowy: Nogi + barki Pamiętaj aby co jakiś czas zmieniać te zestawy i ćwiczenia bo mięśnie się przyzwyczajają a wtedy wolniej rosną. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27.

Why you should learn to lucid dream | Yes, I Can! by Robin Nixon If you’ve never experienced it then you may find it hard to understand what lucid dreaming is all about. In fact you may be thoroughly sceptical and dismiss the whole thing as silly nonsense. But I can tell you from personal experience that lucid dreams are very real and something that many millions of people regularly enjoy. Note: Due to the huge amount of interest that this post has generated I am now seriously considering writing a book on the subject, and I would welcome input from anyone with an interest. If you have any anecdotes, suggestions, dreams or anything else you’d like to share with me for possible inclusion in the book, please email me.
