Lockers for this year

Posted by admin | Education | Sunday 23 January 2011 9:38 pm

School Lockers were one of the necessity of student on our school. That is why as assigned for the Lockers I am going to look for a reliable locker that the student can use. If before we only use wooden or build cabinet and serves as the students locker this year we are planning to have a better one for the Gym Lockers and the Wood Lockers. Still I prefer the one that was made of wood for the student locker but on the gym would be a metal one. But still we are waiting for the approval from the parents and students it they agree on having the metal locker on the gym or still prefer the wood. God thing that the Lockers for sale was on the internet we can show the parents if what are the others options that we can choose and buy. With my laptop and the school projector on the parents and teacher meeting I can be able to connect such devices and let the parents sees the locker that we are thinking to buy.

The Ten Greatest Olympians of All Time

Posted by admin | Education | Wednesday 15 December 2010 11:08 pm

You want to talk about a crowded field? It’s this one. If ever there was a crowded field of talent, near impossible to choose the best of the best, it’s this one. But we’ll give it a try anyway, and offer up our suggestions for the 10 greatest Olympians of all time.
10 Top Olympians
First off, this list is not necessarily in order…as if choosing just 10 wasn’t enough, then try to choose who is better than each best!? Secondly, you should know, we took it easy on ourselves and kept the list restricted to contenders in the “modern” Olympic games only. And now, here they are…in no particular order….even though they’re numbered…
Michael Phelps. It’s tough to leave Michael off a list like this, considering his record-breaking performances, and also coupling that with the actual number of unique events he participates in. The man simply does more and wins more, and has the medals to prove it.
Jesse Owens. Jesse not only had the courage to be a dedicated athlete, but he also had the courage to defy the race barrier…not only in his native U.S., which was bad enough in the 1930′s, but also in Hitler’s Germany, where he won 4 medals in track and field in 1936.
Mark Spitz. Without Mark Spitz, Michael Phelps wouldn’t have so many records to break. Phelps upped Spitz’s record of number of gold medals won in one Olympics by just one, and Spitz has maintained a tie for the total number of medals won for decades.
Nadia Comaneci. When Nadia scored her perfect 10 in women’s gymnastics, the board was not even capable of displaying it….no one was ever expected to accomplish that feat.
Sonja Henie. She’s been forgotten by many by now, but Henie, a female ice skater, did worlds to move the women’s sport while also being a big medal-winner at a very early age (competing first at the early age of 11, and winning gold by 15).
Eric Heiden. Heiden, an American speed skater, was the first to 5 individual golds during the 1980 Lake Placid games.
Carl Lewis. For four straight Olympics, Carl Lewis was “the face of the Olympic Games”. Like Phelps, he excelled in a crowded field of competition under a grueling competition schedule.
Larissa Latynina. Latynina had a medal average of 6 medals per game for 3 straight Olympics from 1956 to 1964 in gymnastics. She totaled 18 medals, 9 of them gold.
Alberto Tomba. Tomba makes the list for his skiing prowess, but moreover for his sheer enthusiasm and charisma, something of a hallmark of the games.
Evgeni Plushenko. There are many skaters from the former Soviet nations who probably deserve a spot on this list, both male and female alike. Being a list of individuals, though, we’ll suffice to let Plushenko represent that steam-roller talent that has so dominated the field throughout the years.
These are simply 10 top Olympian suggestions, really…feel free to add to the list, argue the merits, or devise a list all your own, but any way you slice it, these are 10 who deserve our respect and admiration for their Olympic contributions.

Origins Of Blogging

Posted by admin | Blog,Business,Education | Thursday 18 June 2009 7:02 am

Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet, commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists] and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software, such as WebEx, created running conversations with “threads.” Threads are topical connections between messages on a metaphorical “corkboard.”

The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. Justin Hall, who began personal blogging in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College, is generally recognized as one of the earliest bloggers, as is Jerry Pournelle.[citation needed] Dave Winer’s Scripting News is also credited with being one of the oldest and longest running weblogs. Another early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person’s personal life combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as sousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters.

Dr. Glen Barry started publishing the first political blog — the Forest Protection Blog (originally entitled “Gaia’s Forest Conservation Archives”) at http://forests.org/blog/ — in 1993, both to campaign for forest protection and as his Ph.D. project. It began using Gopher in 1993, and has been on the web continuously since Jan. 1995, making it possibly the web’s first blog, and certainly the oldest continuously running web based blog. The work has since evolved into the world’s largest environmental portals.

Early blogs were simply manually-updated components of common Web sites. However, the evolution of tools to facilitate the pr

There are a variety of ways in which learners in the connectivism course are being distributed to the world, and I’ll break down each one and try to establish how i feel they’re working at this point. Overall the communications weight on George and Stephen is huge, they’re involved in a large number of conversations, and have been trying to follow the vast weight of the content that has been produced… not sure this is a sustainable model, nor would it necessarily work as well for a different teacher who didn’t already spend a large amount of time working on the web.
