Hey, you Hemingwaywantabes out there. If you desire to read the really best in historical life, make n't lose Lecherousness for Life by Irving Rock. It is the heart-pounding, high-stepped, run-as-fast-as-you-can tale of the one of the greatest artists in history, Van gogh.

Too, with the huge sum of work that I ask to catch upwards with, essays to indite edit and submit, I 've conditioned myself to make at least a couple of hrs of productive beat theweekend..on top of giving tuition, cell grouping, nursery committedness and church. it Holds been fruitful and I chance myself coming back to school on Monday with a greater purposefulness and strength!

I simply added the copestone to my essay that Holds due for entry ulterior today... a constituent of me wishes that today was a vacation for us in NUS but unfortunately, it is not.

On a side-note, after getting into the way of inditing essays, my fingers are now conditioned to typewrite: ctrl+S after every twosome of sentences... to salvage my work, even when I 'm group a blog station!

This hebdomad is attending be yet another busy hebdomad... there is much to make both in school and out of school but I am constantly boost by the hardworking people around me: Terence, jieyun, pauline, audrey, Rachel, mrlim, Sun, PST kongetc. they make so with small ill and they make what they take to/want to with much excitement, passionateness and study, I 'm fortunate to hold these good frameworks to admire!

Before family starts in 12mins, i tought i 'd revisit some blogs that I hold n't been to in a age... read PST kong 's blog and his response to reactions to Sun 's blog videos and her work.

It Holds our error

This will be an exciting weekend. I was thrilled to observe yesterday thatmy twoContributor'sCopies of the book P.S. What I Didn't Say: Unsent Letters to Our Female Friends holded comed in my mailbox!

I hold ( along with many, many other authors, editors, friends, and house ) been eagerly expecting the launch of this awing anthology.

Upon opening the book, I was so pleased to see that everything was perfect: name spellings, author 's bio, and the narrative itself. I too love the layout and designing of the anthology.

Now, I 'm looking frontwards to two things. Foremost, sitting downwardly andreading all of the narrations in the book. 2nd, participating in our first unrecorded reading at the noted Elliott Embayment Bookstall.

On the heels of a middling up-and-down hebdomad that could hold maintained me downward, this is marvelous tidings and a perfect reminder not to permit negative and hostile people steal your joyousness in life and activities. There are so many more cheerful, positive, and energetic people to plow with, and they intend the most.

Without farther fuss, here is an image of the recently established anthology, P.S. What I Didn't Say: Unsent Letters to Our Female Friends.

Julie Lindsay holds positioned upward a notice on the Oz Teachers mailing listing alarming its members to the Flat Schoolroom Projects that hold been formed for the following 12 months. Enquiries were raised as to `` What is a Flat Schoolroom? '' Julie and Vicki Davys ( coolcatteacher ) begined the construct several geezerhood ago.

So, I shall respond that inquiry, from my point of perspective holding participated a figure of these labor over the last 12 months with my categories. The projects themselvesare now being patented and affect labor based acquiring activities. The class holds been developed by two of the most forward-looking, difficult working instructors that I hold come across - Vicki Davis ( coolcatteacher ) from U.S.A. and Julie Lindsay from Qatar. In simplistic footings, `` flatclassroom '' in practical footings, for me, intends that my educatees work in little groupings, on projects readied by Julie and Vicki, beyond my schoolroom walls with educatees from other lands including America, Canada, Spain, Japan, Pakistan, NZ, Oman, Qatar etc Therefore my schoolroom walls hold been flattened '' and, as a staffer I work collaboratively in virtual squads to assure that the labor for all pupils to get the best possible results. Nonetheless, this differs a good deal to the formal definition happened on the wiki. So the formal definition is the one to utilise.

How I got regarded As my yr 12 pupils were canvas virtual squads as component of their class, I detected on twitter , that people were being sought to get the 'sounding board ' for the Horizon Project Shortly after, calls were played educatees to be portion of the following Flat Classroom Project , so I enrolled my twelvemonth 9/10 pupils therein task. Pupils are grouped with 5 other pupil members, each from a different school and usually a different nation. They socialise and acquire about each other on the flatclassroom ning , where they can post images, videos, blog stations and enter into treatment themes. Each grouping is given a subject which is linked to the current and future utilisation of the cyberspace, usually in didactics. Educatee groupings make wiki pages together, utilizing the discussiontab to work together in asynchronous clip. At the terminal of the 10-12 hebdomad plan, pupils finish a picture that is uploaded onto the ning and embedded in the wiki for judging by planetary justices. Portion of this picture will include an outsourced picture magazine by another educatee in another nation.

Regular staff meetings are maintained in elluminte to secure that all instructors regarded are fullly informed. At the completion of each undertaking, both educatee and staff meridians are maintained in elluminate, inviting world-wide participants to listen to the ruminations. These Sessions are too entered and associated on the wiki. In the current flatclassroom task, we were able to utilize videoconferencing to be component of the keynote speech on citizenship journalism ' exhibited by a University reader in journalism from Doha Katar.

Our participation intended that three educatees and I could attend the F lat Classroom conference in Bida, Qatar in Jan 2009 where pupils seed their virtual category mates, confront to confront and worked again on tasks that were of concern to all of them.

The netgened undertaking was a grotesque experience and the large ventures of all so far. Pupils worked with Don Tapscott, best selling writer of `` Grown Up Digital ''. The awardings ceremonial was maintained in Reaction Grid of Clear Sim, a virtual existence where a large phase holded been assailled on an island with the powerpoint slips uploaded to denote the victors of each family. Pupils, staff and other interested parties took incarnations and were dressed in ok signifier for the presentation. The Digiteen task is less demanding and a good entree point to the task. It works on constructing efficacious digital citizenship conceptions.

For me, personally and likewise for my pupils, this holds took us on another astonishing journeying applying the emerging engineerings and holds boosted our practical noesis of digital citizenship, cyber safety, collaborative work in virtual squads, netiquette and applying wikis and nings efficaciously. It forces the pupils beyond their comfortableness zones and gives them real world acquisitions. Several schools from Australia hold been affected. Delight join us in the following undertaking ( seconds ) for an astonishing journeyin your instruction calling - one that takes you beyond your schoolroom in the digital age that is ours today.

Here are the proposed projects for 2008-09
