Elections and Democracy
A moment ago I took part in today's election. It's great that after decades of oppression, we can participate in free elections.
When uploading the completed card into the ballot box, overtook me, however, a reverie. Is it really a good thing that the public can vote? What this will lead us?
Frankly, I have serious doubts whether such a hipermarketowy cashier should have the right to vote. Bo and on whom he might vote? Remember in the end, the average laborer is generally set antybiznesowo, and hence, there is a real danger to support his party, which only retard the development of Polish, scaring away foreign investors and making it uneconomic to employ Polish workers.
After a brief thought, I conclude that the right to vote shall have only those fully financially independent - such as business owners, officers, directors, and possibly even the steering wheel. Of course, such a solution is also defective, namely, the right to vote gives the heirs of fortunes, who do not have to be disposed probiznesowo while disregarding the professions such as lawyers, however, who could yet make a very worthwhile choice.
seems to me, however, think that if the matter further, would be sure to establish the optimal list of groups of people entitled to vote. People who would be able to make a wise and fair choice, thanks to which Poland could develop at an unprecedented pace in other countries. I just watched a movie

Education 2.0 - it's time
high time - to promote activities that show that education should not continue to be afraid and fight to the Internet, technology and new media, but most of all - the skill to use them and show how it can assist in learning and be a great field of possibilities for talented, creative and creative youth. This was the beginning of the conference Fri Education 2.0 Warsaw, which took place last Tuesday, and was prepared for the Bureau of Education of Warsaw by Alek Tarkowski 
Filiciak
and
Edwin Bendyk
. Teachers ... it's time to stop being afraid and get started. And with what and how. As it turns out computers in schools is in abundance, the problem is that they stand in the halls pozamykanych the padlock, and their use is taking place only on the lesson. Assuming that teachers are not technology problems (oby!) and that students are able to show the meaning and purpose of acquiring knowledge, and instill a critical attitude, you can at conferences such as this to show them the various tools and projects. Presentation of a few such key tools on Tuesday took place. And they were for example:

Remigiusz Lisa, one of the main objectives SDL is to support teaching and learning) Wikipedia and its discretion (articles, Wikibooks, Wikimedia Commons) Google Docs (and use them for chasing the students to share their tasks and to improve teacher) Google Maps, Picasso (as by the students tools to create interactive maps of historical cities)
- Free Reading and Free Manuals (presented them Jaroslaw Lipszyc )
- Youth TV
- animated film and of course e-learning platforms (using the environment
- Logomocja ) Examples of these I do not think you need to discuss;). My impression, however, that for most teachers will not matter so much new, but need to break up, it's probably the hardest ao. Edwin Bendyk, summarizing the presentation of the digital library, said: most important function in the library is no longer the custodian, but the hacker . And I think you need to rephrase this sentence by inserting a teacher there. Active participation in media culture and its co-creation - that education can not ignore ... Then somehow the gap between school (teachers) and students to grow, and examples of its effects appeared in numerous speeches by Zbigniew Holdys, which ended (after all, in a positive mood), conference:)
