Democratic Education and Culture.

Hi, there!

Today we want to share with you a website on Educational projects, culture, social issues... It is called Proyecto Atlántida: http://www.proyectoatlantida.net/ 

This is an interesting web because it offers us many resources on education, citizenship, social tabboos, curriculum... Concepts we are all concerned with because of the PCE subject. We recommend you to have a quick look through it.


Have a nice practicum-time!

A BIG step in a cubic millimeter

Happy Monday everyone!

Since we are dealing with Innovation and Research in Education, our interests are narrowly related to the use of new technologies, or ICT, as you may prefer. That is the reason we must keep up to date to any piece of news on it. The following link will lead you to an article published by a blog of El Mundo newspaper in which we are told about a cubic-millimeter pc developed by Michigan University.

Big steps are being made every day by researchers within the field of information and communication technology. How far will technology bring us?



We hope you like reading and thinking about it.

By-e!

INTERNET CENSORSHIP!

Good morning, everyone!

Today, while reading news online, we surprisingly found the following headline: Un mapa del mundo presenta el estado de la censura de Internet (http://www.antena3.com/noticias/tecnologia/mapa-mundo-presenta-estado-censura-internet_2011021700109.html you can read the whole news following the link).

This is the map showing the levels of censorship, quite astonishing because of the service we get everyday from Internet, isn't it?

Just in case it is not clearly appreciated, these are the meanings of the different colours:

 Blue: no censorship.

Yellow: some censorship.

Red: under surveillances.

Black: pervasive censorhip.

1. How much important is Internet in our lives?

2. Do you use Internet everyday?

3. What does Internet offer you?

4. No Internet= chaos?

These are some open-answer questions we leave here for all of us to think on the role(s) Internet plays in our daily lives.

Have a nice weekend!
