Teaching & Learning

"Despite the abundance of devices, online content and tools today, many classrooms struggle to make full use of digital technologies. Technology must be interwoven with a holistic approach that considers all relevant aspects, in particular pedagogical practices and training, to prevent it from being misunderstood as a standalone factor."

The British flag is often called the “Union Jack”

This is in fact a nautical term as a “jack” is a ship’s flag to show the ship’s nationality.
The British flag is the union of three flags in one, since it represents the crosses of the patron saints of England, Scotland and Ireland.

The American flag is usually called the “Stars and Stripes”
When the first thirteen colonies proclaimed their independence, they needed an emblem of their union. Congress decided that the flag of the United States would have thirteen alternative red and white stripes and a constellation of thirteen white stars on a blue background.

Today, when you look at the American flag, you can still count the thirteen red and white stripes which represent the original thirteen states but you have fifty stars representing the fifty states belonging to the Union today. So the stripes represent the past and the stars represent the present.

The Cone of Experience

How is it possible that a theory created in the 40s is still so updated, concerning the concepts of multimedia/hypermedia learning?

The 4th of July

The Constitution provides the legal and governmental framework for the United States, however, the Declaration, with its eloquent assertion "all Men are created equal," is equally beloved by the American people.
Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the USA's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. There, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expre…
