Test Of Three

Test Of Three

"Test of Three?" "That's correct," Socrates continued. "No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it." "All right," said Socrates. "No, on the contrary..."

YouTube im Unterricht Details Geschrieben von Beat Küng YouTube und andere Videoplattformen werden noch immer erstaunlich selten im Unterricht genutzt. Zum Teil ist die Plattform in Schulen sogar gesperrt, was aus medienpädagogischer Sicht mehrfach kontraproduktiv ist. Wir müssen den kompetenten Umgang mit Videoplattformen vermitteln. Dabei interessiert uns Medienpädagogen nicht nur die Rolle der Konsumenten, sondern ganz besonders auch die des Produzenten. Das Dossier „YouTube im Unterricht“ führt durch die Plattform und zeigt vom Erstellen eines Nutzerkontos bis zu den online-Bearbeitungsmöglichkeiten das Potenzial für die Medienbildung auf. Das Dossier kann als PDF heruntergeladen werden. Version 2013_7, komplette Überarbeitung Version 8-2012, mit der neuen YouTube-Funktion "Gesichter automatisch unkenntlich machen"

Go On A Blind Date... With A Book They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover — but what about the title, author and plot? In a bid to lure customers back from the ebook market, one plucky book store has begun selling novels that are completely wrapped in brown paper. A few vague words are your only hint to what lies within… It’s no secret that book stores are doing it tough, with Collins, Angus & Robinson and Borders all shutting up shops in recent years. We therefore admire the sheer gumption of Elizabeth’s Bookshops in NSW and WA, which is attempting to sell its wares sight unseen to indecisive customers — they call it the paperback “blind date”. “A lot of people who come into our store don’t know what they want to buy so they just browse or ask for a recommendation,” explained Ryan, an Elizabeth’s Bookshop employee from the Pitt Street store in Sydney. “One of our staff members thought it would be a good idea to set up a kind of lucky-dip table where you get to pick a book at random.
