Project in Twinspace

This month, we are working in two different project in eTwinning. The eTwinning action is an initiative of the European Commission that aims to encourage European schools to collaborate using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by providing the necessary infrastructure (online tools, services, support). Therefore, teachers registered in the eTwinning action are enabled to form partnerships and develop collaborative, pedagogical school projects in any subject area with the sole requirements to employ ICT to develop their project and collaborate with teachers from other European countries (at least two teachers from two different European countries are needed). The primary workspace for the eTwinning action, is the eTwinning Portal (www.etwinning.net) and it is available in twenty-five languages. How I said we are working in two different projects, counting both there are schools from  Lithuania, Slovakia, Italy, Turkey etc... In total we are 10 teachers and around of 120 students. But If you want to know in the first project we are working with a turkish school and in the other with a Lituanian, Slovakian, Italyan, Turkish, and Spanish schol.

                             

We are going to be learning about the participating country's and them culture, we are chatin with the students, asking for information and answering with information.

We actually have just started so I can't tell more thing but I will wirte anothe post with more information. Because this project looks amazing and I have such a desire to work but we have a enormous problem that in the start we didn't notice, the hour, In all the country's is a different hour so is difficult chat in the same time. But this will not stop us from studying other cultures.

What to read, watch or play at Christmas

In this post I will recomend you what to read, watch or play at Christmas. Because at final we have a lot of free time betwenn celebrations an we spend that time doing nothing so here you have one book, one film and one game to play (from my point of view).

Lets start with the book, the book that I recomend for you is called Nerdy Dozen is a trilogy writed by Jeff Miller. In the first book, Nerdy Dozen, the protagonist Neil Andertol is a nerd he goes to school and suffers bullyng from some guys from class and they call him Neandertol. But when he arrives at home he becames a pro of the videogames he is part of a club of gamer's where the members has to overcome the national recor from one game. After that the host of the club, a hacker, gives you acces to the page. But that weekend the hacker uploaded a game to the page. It was called Chameleon and you became in a warplane pilot. There were rumors that that game was a simulator of a real warplane created by the government. After some weeks of playing a misterious car appeared at Neil's house and kidnaped him...

The book looks tasty, and is very funny becuase finnaly the history can be real in a part. The other two book's from the trilogy are Nerdy Dozen, Close encounters of ther NERD kind and Nerdy Dozen, 20,000 NERDS under the sea.

Let's follow with the film, is difficult to chose only one film to recomend one, but for not to see the "special films" from christmas almost everything. As we are in christmas and in this celebration the inportant thing is the family and to forget the romantic films from the TV I recomend FAST & FURIOUS 8 is an action film where the protagonist Dominic Toreto  is blackmailed to betray his family (his friends). Ad you will think but that is like another film about betrays, NO, because on other films Toreto explains clearly that the family is the inportantest thing, so, how will act his family (group of friends).


And to finish lets recomend a game I'm a fantic of war games so i will recomned you the game Call of Duty: WWII  Call of Duty is a saga of war games developed by Infinity Ward and Activision. They started with a Call of Duty based on WWII they made 3 games after that they made the Modern Warfare (4 games) and Black Ops based on WWIII,  after that they made some games base on technological future: Black Ops 2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3, Infinitie Warfare and now they have returned to the beginnings and they made (the game i recomended before) Call of Duty: WWII. In this game you became a soldier that fighted in the WWII took part on the D-day and helped to win the War. Also has ans espectacular multiplayer system and a room where you can find other online players.

Violence Against Womens

The reason for this post is to follow the movement started by the Basque journalist Iñaki Gabilondo. In this movement Iñaki speaks about a very polemical thing but very inportant: The violence against women. He tryes heping people to realize the problem.

I did a text to speak a litlle bit about that theme:

50 year's (short post)

This month our school is going to celebrate it's 50th annivesary and we are celebrating at school. They have done videos of old students and old teachers speaking about they anecdots in school, on saturday 28th of october 2017, some people is going to do a performance in the streets, but only in place's were the school has been placed. Also tha saturday is Tolosa Goxua a day where a lot of bakerys of the basque country come's to Tolosa and you can buy them. ¡IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC DAY!

Today I have been working in a mindmap in a new web sites and is very usefull. At first is going to be a little bit complicated but after some time it will becames easyer. If you want to see my first mind map (I have done it fastly to try the web) click here.

I use gifs a in my post and I will follow usingn it so I thinked to start with midmap about gifs.

Medicine and Phisiology Nobel prize winners in 2012

Today I'm going to speak about Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. In 2012 Sir John B. Gurdon & Shinya Yamanaka winned the Nobel prize because of the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent. Bacause of this invention we are going to be able to create new animals.

Sir John B. Gurdon:

Sir John B. Gurdon is a British development biologist (Developmental biology studies the processes bywhich organisms grow and develop) .  He studied in Eton College  but his love to the natural science were not reflejated in his notes. After that studied humanityes in  Christ Church of Oxford, but he finished licenciating in zoology in the University of Oxford and in the University of Cambridge.

In 1958 he cloned a fly and he became a reference in development biology and in nuclear transferency. In 1962, he initiated cloning experiments using non-embryonic cells, specifically, cells from the intestinal lining of the tadpole. Gurdon thought the tadpoles were old enough that the extracted cells could be differentiated. Gurdon exposed a frog egg to ultraviolet light, which destroyed its nucleus. He then extracted the nucleus from a tadpole intestinal cell and implanted it into the enucleated egg. The egg developed and became a tadpole that was genetically identical to the DNA donor tadpole                                                                                                                                                                    
Shinya Yamanaka:

Shinya Yamanaka is a japanese medicine researcher, Yamanaka is currently a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Science and Director of the Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), the Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS) at Kyoto University. He was a visiting scientist at the Gladstone Institute at the University of California, San Francisco in 2007. He graduated from Kobe University in 1987 and completed his doctorate at Osaka City University Graduate School in 1993.
He received the Shaw Award in 2008 for his recent key innovations to reverse the process of cell differentiation in mammals, a phenomenon that advances our understanding of developmental biology and represents a great promise for the treatment of human diseases and improvements practices in agriculture. He has been awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award 2010 in Biomedicine "for demonstrating that it is possible to reprogram cells already differentiated and to return them to a state of the pluripotent cells. Their work represents an important advance for regenerative medicine."

Reflection on the social web sites and cyber bullying

Today I'm going to speak about the reflections on the social web sites and cyber bullying. Because they are very important things nowadays.

The reflections on social websites:

We have to reflect  a litle bit about the social websites because almos everybody likes instgram, facebook, twitter etc... because we wan't to upload photos, we want to follow friend's, we want a lot of followers; but we don't know who are the mayority of the followers, they can be a good person, or a bad person, the last one can use you images to manipulate you ther is people taht take's your images and creates count's saying that they are you, and doing bad things. But that is inebitable so the unic thing we can do is to have care withe pictures that we upload


The cyber bullying:

The cyber bullying is one of the biggest problems nowadays in the world. Why? Because everybody has a mobil phone; also the litle kids, and they are unconcious about what happens, and children didn't know nothing about the internet so if they are in a game or a social network, if there is a "bad" person is going to try to use the kid to obtain what he wants, and the child, like hasn't idea about what is happening is going to facilite the thins to the "bad" person.
