'Your whole life is the Holocaust!' The woman who was born in Auschwitz It was at the age of seven, when asked at school to write down her name and place of birth, that Angela Orosz was first made aware she had been born in Auschwitz. “I really had a hard time with that word,” she said. “I was begging my mother, ‘can we change it?’ She said ‘no, I’m not going to change it, this is what you have to know’.” Orosz said she had no idea then what Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp, actually meant. It would take her more than a further half century before she felt able to recount the story of her and her mother, who died in 1992. She had weighed just 1kg and was too weak to cry. But it was in a German courtroom just over a week ago that the now 71-year-old made one of her most courageous decisions yet, to take to the witness stand in the case of Reinhold Hanning, a 94-year-old former SS guard, in what will be one of the last from the Nazi concentration camps. That meant she had been chosen for forced labour, rather than the gas chamber.

11 Quick and Amazing ways to use PowToon in your Classroom by PowToon! I recently read a study on creativity that blew my mind: “A major factor in creativity is education: not whether you had a “good” or “expensive” or “public” education, but whether you were encouraged to develop your creativity starting at an early age and continuing throughout your school years.” – Adobe.Inc We saw this first-hand, when Edson Tellez, a volunteer teacher in rural Mexico, wrote to us about how PowToon changed the way his students viewed the world, “they’re getting more creative, more receptive, and more dynamic in each class.” The mind blowing fact is that developing creativity is the number one determining factor in the overall success of your students!

It is based on input from Irish school children. The clip - which features the voices of school children attending the Rutland Street Primary School (in North Dublin) in the 1960s - is from "Give Up Yer Aul Sins." How (and why) the tapes were made - and then resurfaced decades later - is a story all by itself. Even more improbable is how the recordings were used as source material for this animation (which was created by Dublin-based Brown Bag Films in 2002). The story of how “Give Up Yer Aul Sins” came to life is one of personal, social and creative serendipity that would be completely implausible if it weren’t true. This video - "The Story of St.
Four Assessment Strategies for the Flipped Learning Environment Flipped learning environments offer unique opportunities for student learning, as well as some unique challenges. By moving direct instruction from the class group space to the individual students’ learning spaces, time and space are freed up for the class as a learning community to explore the most difficult concepts of the course. Likewise, because students are individually responsible for learning the basics of new material, they gain regular experience with employing self-regulated learning strategies they would not have in an unflipped environment. But because initial engagement with new material is done independently as a preparation for class time rather than as its focus, many things could go wrong. If students do the assigned pre-class work but don’t acquire enough fluency with the basics—or if they simply don’t do it at all—then the in-class experience could be somewhere between lethargic and disastrous. A key to achieving this kind of environment is assessment.
The bloody origins of Britain's St. Patrick's Day shamrock tradition It's a quaint tradition that continues to this day: Every Saint Patrick's Day, a member of the British royal family presents the Irish Guards with shamrocks for their headgear. Sometimes the green clover falls so far it covers their faces. But many people may not be aware that this shamrock tradition has a grisly history. Queen Victoria devised the "wearing of the green" in 1900 in support of one of the British empire's most brutal wars. The shamrock tradition originated with Irish deaths in the Boer War The Queen Mother presents shamrock in 1997, almost 100 years after Queen Victoria began the tradition. The Boer War was fought from 1899 to 1902, and was, in part, precipitated by gold. "we are not interested in the possibilities of defeat" Britain thought the war would be a cakewalk. Throughout it all, Queen Victoria remained staunch in her advocacy of the British military, saying in 1899: "We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. And that brings us to the shamrock.
