CNN the Cable News Network TV NEWS 24-hour news coverage [...]

This week’s task was to inform ourselves about the use of computers in our old grammar school.
One could think that, since I just graduated 3 years ago, not much has changed since then. But going back to my “old” school, teaching as an U+-Kraft, I realized that many things were done in order to improve [...]

Way to go or What the f***?
Communitication via the internet has become more and more important during the last couple of years – especially for the “younger” generation.

The Dumbest Generation – revised
Right after I had written my post on Bauerlein’s provocative interview/book, I read the post, Mr Sperl wrote about our first session.
