. 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:

Presentation of a few such key tools on Tuesday took place. And they were for example: 
Silesian Digital Library (presented by the very interesting 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:)

Cost For Brazilian Wax
Employee of the Month
Fri Employee of the Month (link below). Critics consider him as a silly comedy - and this is true, however I have noticed in him some extra meaning.
little over a month ago I wrote about Polish bosses, who are the best in the world. Well, this movie confirms this thesis! Or at least confirm that the heads of Polish Americans are worse.
But to the point. The film tells the story of the so-called. "Life shop floor" employees of the U.S. hypermarket. That's it. Employees are required to give the work a very rich life non-work activities. Stress: non-work activities, at work. And guess now, Dear Reader, who pays?
course, for their love affairs at work your employer pays. Although the "pay" is a very appropriate term, because the employer did them for not paying, or at least does not do it consciously. Rather, it shamelessly steal, defraudując time you have to devote to work!
They steal them or indeed in many other ways: intentional destruction of goods to buy, "inadvertently destroyed" at a lower price, lack of full concentration on the designated purposes, leading to lower efficiency, playing cards between the pallets of goods, mutual sabotage their activities in the name informal and unsolicited competing among themselves, etc.
begs the question: how is it possible for one who has committed such a situation? The answer is as simple as and conclusions arising therefrom: managers at the supermarket is incompetent and completely unprepared to manage the employees of this caliber. And if the average viewer is not guessed, was added in the movie thread brother director supermarket, which comes in a rather brutal way mental and emotional immaturity of that director.
serious problem, however: while this one director can (and should) release (aside from the fact that it's a movie), it is a real one thousand of directors, American supermarkets, slow down and be replaced by a well in practice is impossible. You can not, because Americans are generally not well prepared to govern. They are indeed (statistically) better mental capacity and education, which can and do better in the professions, but in a completely hierarhicznych structures do not give advice.
a model may be precisely here that the Polish leaders. Consider, networks, supermarkets Ladybug, or Tesco. Is it possible in their markets, to employees outside their working hours of boredom went skating over the surface of the commercial? Of course not, even for two reasons. Firstly, the introduction of commercial space is strictly limited to eliminate the rogue employee, such as who can eat branded apple without paying for it (theft), or perform any of the "tricks" as shown in the film.
Secondly, in good company employee should never have time for boredom. The work carried out in a supermarket are the most exciting advantage that can be exercised after a very brief training session, and therefore no need for assigning specific employees to specific work according to the unique qualifications. Therefore, if the shelves with goods are currently being well-arranged, the staff associated with them can begin eg cleaning toilets. If toilets are cleaned, you will find Many other fascinating activities for young people.
And that is what the advantage of Polish companies (and their managers) over the U.S. counterparts. In America, companies have much stronger finances, but their returns are proportionally much smaller. One of the main reasons for this phenomenon is the poor management of employees. Polish worker actively contributes to building the power of their employers, while shamelessly playing the American card ...
