Ever heard about Edupunks? :)

"The challenge is not to bring technology into the classroom, he points out. The millennials, with their Fa.ce.book and their cell phones, have done that. The challenge is to capture the potential of technology to lower costs and improve learning for all."

Read the whole articel at Fast Company:

a quote:

"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all" - Leo Rosten

libro de caras:

: Name: sarita; Location: Switzerland

THIS IS: a personal logbook, capturing experiences, rencontres, thoughts and ideas; a way to stay in touch with family and friends, letting them know where I am, what I'm doing and how I feel I AM: a swiss farm girl, back home after having travelled a little bit of this world, curious and awake, enjoying every breath I take and the moments that take my breath away. I LIKE: my family, cats, Lindor chocolate, books that make me forget the world around me, connecting with people, experiencing other cultures, going out of my comfort zone, playing around with html, other people's trust, getting hugged, drinking milk coffee, meeting new interesting people, tea with honey, acting on my gut feeling, early mornings and late nights, talking to friends and living life consciously I DON'T LIKE: if you don't remember me, coca-cola, feeling inefficient, confrontation, lost opportunities, zero-sum games.
