Connected Educators 2014

Swipe Copy

 Connected Educator Month: Those who do, teach. Own it, worldwide. October 2014.
A celebration of community, with educators at all levels, from all disciplines, moving towards a fully connected and collaborative profession. Convened by the connected education community, with the full support of the U.S. Department of Education, building on the success of previous years with hundreds of new events and activities from dozens of organizations and communities. We’ll be working together, in October and beyond, with all stakeholders, leaving no device unturned, no country or learning environment unexplored. Get involved at connectededucators.org.

About Connected Educator Month

Millions of educators and others around the world have participated in hundreds of professional development opportunities as part of Connected Educator Month (CEM) the past two years. Originally developed by the U.S. Department of Education and its partners as part of the Connected Educators initiative, CEM offers highly distributed, diverse, and engaging activities to educators at all levels. Based on its success in 2012 and 2013, the initiative is poised to reach even more educators in 2014, through expanded partnerships and enhanced programming.
Highlights of CEM 2013 included:

• More than 300 major education organizations, companies, or communities officially participating, including, for the first time, entire states and districts
• More than 600 national events and activities conducted officially (on the CEM calendar), many more conducted independently
• More than 1 million web pages and other online locations referencing, promoting, or discussing the event (a 300% increase over CEM 2012)
• More than 14 million educators and others reached around the world via Twitter alone (more than triple the reach of 2012)
• Recognition as one of the top educational technology news stories of both 2012 and 2013 

For more information about the first two years of CEM, see our reports on the 2012 and 2013 events, and/or this post and video by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan (who hosted his first Twitter chat as part of the 2013 celebration). Connected Educator Month in 2012 and 2013 was convened by the American Institutes for Research and its partners in the Connected Educators project (2010-2014), on behalf of the Office of Educational Technology of the United States Department of Education.

CEM 2014

As successful as CEM 2013 was, there are still educators who are not connected, and many more who are not yet taking full advantage of the opportunities connected education affords. More broadly, the field of connected education itself is still in need of further stimulation and development. Based on participant feedback, we hope to:

• Make the event more fully global, to better incorporate learnings from around the world, supporting multiple countries in the development of full event slates as part of the celebration
• Make the celebration more fully mobile and blended, in reflection of trends in educational practice and educator use
• Provide a greater emphasis on collaboration in our planning, tools, and activities, as the logical next step beyond connection, and address participants’ desire for a more action-oriented approach (2x+ as many events were collaborative in 2013)
• Launch a series of ongoing connected education initiatives during the month (our own and others) to keep momentum building throughout the year, as well as develop more year-round resources (like 2013’s district toolkit)
• Include more events/activities that pull in other education stakeholders—parents, students, whole school communities, policymakers—to magnify the event’s creative impact We also expect to enhance CEM’s editorial programming and infrastructure to keep the event fully accessible as it continues to grow, as well as engage in more extensive capacity-building to empower the broader community to take more ownership of the celebration.

The song is included on his 2006 cover album, We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions. The Seeger Sessions consist of three recording sessions (a 2-days session on 01 and 02 Nov 1997, a 1-day session in Dec 2005, and a 1-day session in Jan 2006), during which all the album's songs were cut live in the living room of Bruce's New Jersey farmhouse. The songs were not rehearsed and all arrangements were conducted as Bruce and the band played. It is not clear during which one of the three sessions O MARY DON'T YOU WEEP was recorded.

KREMACJA WROCŁAW

Czym jest kremacja

Leave a reply

Kremacja według Słownika Języka Polskiego to "palenie zwłok ludzkich, jako obrządek pogrzebowy".
Kremacja jest jednym z rodzajów pochówku zmarłego, polegającym na bezdymnym i bezzapachowym spaleniu ciała, w urządzeniu służącym do spopielania ciała ludzkiego (w piecu kremacyjnym). Kremacja to jeden z możliwych w Polsce sposobów na pochowanie zmarłego. W odróżnieniu od tradycyjnego złożenia ciała w trumnie do grobu, tu następuje pochowanie urny z prochami, które pozostały z procesu kremacyjnego.Proces spopielenia odbywa się najczęściej w trumnie kremacyjnej pozbawionej warstw farby i lakieru, ozdób i uchwytów. Jest on przeprowadzany w specjalnym piecu kremacyjnym. Kremacja odbywa się w temperaturze 750-1200 °C. Spalanie trwa ponad godzinę. Prócz popiołów wydziela się woda i dwutlenek węgla. Krematorium (łac. cremo = 'palę' cremare – spalić) – budynek, w którym przeprowadza się pośmiertne spalenie (kremację) zwłok przed pochówkiem.

Przebieg kremacji w szwedzkich piecach kremacyjnych (m.in. na podstawie strony firmy TABO)
W szwedzkim piecu kremacyjnym (TABO Incinerator AB) zainstalowanym, między innymi, we wrocławskiej spopielarni każda kremacja jest przeprowadzana oddzielnie. Procesem steruje komputer PLC, którego zadaniem jest takie przeprowadzenie procesu kremacji, aby był on nieszkodliwy dla środowiska naturalnego, bezpieczny dla operatorów oraz sprawny pod względem energetycznym i czasowym.
Obecnie wszyscy producenci urządzeń kremacyjnych korzystają z zastosowanego jeszcze w XIX w. patentu generatora cieplnego. Współczesne piece spełniają bardzo surowe wymagania unijnych norm ochrony środowiska dotyczące emisji dwutlenku siarki, tlenków azotu i węgla, metali, dioksyn, bifenyli oraz rtęci.
Szczątki pozostałe po kremacji są pulweryzowane w odpowiednim urządzeniu – zwanym w technologii TABO – kremulatorem, dzięki czemu do urny wsypywany jest jednolity drobny pył. Średnio po kremacji dorosłego człowieka, w zależności od wagi i płci, pozostaje od 3 do 5 litrów prochów.

Since the moment, I met her - to this day I have always been impressed by her amazing personality. I would like to express my comprehensive respect for her expertise, professionalism, teaching skills and methodologies. She teaches Polish language at all levels, runs English lectures and develops teaching programs. The widespread recognition among executives, teachers, colleagues, as well as students is her commitment to the work, the aspiration to provide students with the latest knowledge using the most recent techniques and technologies. Halina gained exceptional high opinion, thanks to her awesome and determined enthusiasm in the search for refining excellence of teaching methods as well as implementing new pedagogic approaches. She continually educates and develops professionally. Each time I see her at the Wroclaw University of Technology, Halina is learning and updating her teaching skills.

 Face-to-face meetings are especially important when establishing and nurturing relationships to colleagues and customers, assert employees and their bosses in jobs in the fields of management, PR and communications, government and research.
Key reasons given for a physical presence at the place of work include the opportunity to exchange ideas and avert the misunderstandings which could crop up in our physical absence.

Despite that, the advances in ICT have reinforced expectations that we stay available after working hours. This has ripped away many of the former boundaries between work and leisure time. As a result we work more than before, often without any remunerative compensation.
Whips are not necessarily being cracked. The office workers who participated in the study often choose to be online and available to customers, colleagues and employers after working hours.
