Course Description
Many teachers feel alone. They wish they could share information and ideas with other teachers around the globe. This course provides teachers with opportunities to collaborate with other teachers on how to blend and flip their classes with technology.

This is a free hands-on professional development course for educators and/or anyone who wants to share information in a socially meaningful way. The course includes live online classes (with recordings), content (via the courseware), discussions (via the course feed), and hands-on activities.

Participants will learn how to create videos using Webcams via WizIQ classes, screencast-o-matic, PowerPoint presentations, and Google drive. They will upload the video files to Youtube and Vimeo for blended learning, the flipped class, and to market their online courses. Participants will learn how to teach with web technologies such as blogs, wikis, google drive, badges, the WizIQ live class, Moodle, social networks, and videos.

Participants who complete the tasks will receive a certificate of completion.

Poland’s Road from Oppression to Freedom

http://www.nobelforpeace-summits.org/informations/polands-road-oppression-freedom/

 Under the pressure of social revolt, the communist authorities signed agreements with the striking workers. They also had to agree to register the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union “Solidarity” which was led by Lech Wałęsa for the years that followed.

“Solidarity” was not a purely trade union or worker organisation, however, as it was impossible to establish a political party then, it remained an enormous (with 10 million members) power opposing the communist system. The Polish United Worker’s Party did not tolerate this role of “Solidarity” and perceived the organisation as a great threat, especially as they had no intention to give up or share their power.

The Polish United Worker’s Party and the Soviet Union were outraged by the “Message to the working people of Eastern Europe” adopted in autumn 1981 at the First “Solidarity” Congress. In line with the Polish tradition of fighting “for our freedom and yours”, the message supported and empathised with the struggle for free trade unions in Soviet bloc states.
