Twenty years ago today, John Lennon was senselessly murdered by an
obsessed fan outside his New York City apartment. An icon to millions
to this day, Lennon is remembered for both his music and his activism
for world peace. Vigils and memorial services have been planned
worldwide, including ones at Strawberry Fields in New York's Central
Park, Lennon's childhood home in Liverpool, and the John Lennon
Museum outside Tokyo. Readers can find out more about these tributes
and Lennon's legacy beginning with the BBC's site, which includes
analysis, related articles and links, and some audio and video
selections. ABC News offers a feature-rich interactive Webumentary on
the life and music of John Lennon (and his FBI files), with photos, a
discography, commentary, and audio clips. Additional coverage and
commentary is available from the _New York Times_ (free registration
required), the _Baltimore Sun_, _The Nation_, and dotmusic. Finally,
users may want to visit the Website of NPR's Fresh Air with Terry
Gross. Her show today features three interviews remembering John
Lennon, with Yoko Ono, historian John Wiener who uncovered the secret
FBI files, and Cynthia Lennon, his first wife. [MD]

Uri Geller is suing Pokemon (from ETNI - http://www.etni.org.il )
------------------------
Uri Geller is suing Pokemon because he claims one of the Pokemon characters
is names and styled after him. A wonderful chance to compare different
newspaper articles on the same topic in class. Find the articles from Game
Pro Magazine, The National Enquirer, USA Today, New York Post and Guardian
all neatly organised together on one Pokemon webpage with obviously pictures
of the alleged "Ungeller" Pokemon card:
http://www.tcom.co.uk/hpnet/pokemon.htm
[ un sujet que les élèves connaissent bien, et 5 articles assez simple dont
des extraits peuvent être utilisés dès la 4ème, et dont la comparaison en
lycée peut amener à une réflexion sur la presse. Un exercice de base serait
de retrouver le fait d'origine à partir des articles, puis lister les
différences. Remarquez par exemple l'importance donnée à l'étoile sur le
front du personnage dans la version de USA Today, aussi mentionnée, mais de
façon plus modérée dans le New York Post, et dans aucun des autres
articles. Quel impact cela a-t-il sur le lecteur? ]

Santa Lucia (Activity Village News 8)
------------------------
In Denmark and Sweden on 13th December they celebrate Santa Lucia.
Read all about it on this lovely page:

[ un texte sur l'histoire de Sainte Lucie, une martyre.....]

"Merry Christmas" (Activity Village News 8)
------------------------
Say "Merry Christmas" in lots of different languages
http://www.planetpals.com/merrychristmas.html
[ un nombre impressionant de langues différentes!]

Christmas carols (Activity Village News 8)
------------------------
http://www.night.net/christmas/songs12.html-ssi
A Karaoke site for Christmas carols. Children love to read and sing
along and this site is nicely presented.
[ Un site très sympa. Les paroles et des musiques entrainantes. Par contre,
j'ai parfois eu des mal à mettre les paroles sur la musique...]

The Story of the Candy Cane (STUFF> Teacher Stuff - December 8)
------------------------
http://www.hereintown.net/~kountry/candy.htm
[ pour l'info des enseignants. Je n'aurais pas pensé qu'il y avait une
telle signification religieuse à cette friandise!!!]

Hanukah (ETNI - http://www.etni.org.il )
------------------------
Check out the Hanukah page on Etni website:
http://www.etni.org.il/holidays/hannukah.htm
[ une page de liens très complète, des explications, des leçons et des
activités, en direct d'Israël. Par curiosité pour les enseignants, voyez le
site sur les miracles. Leur façon de présenter des histoires sous forme de
parabole à des jeunes du 21ème siècle est surprenante!]

school education in England (from: Jane.Franklin@BRITISHCOUNCIL.ORG )
------------------------
this is DfEE's Parent site and contains lots of useful information about
school education in England, from the subjects studied in the National
Curriculum and how they are tested, through to advice on what to do if a
child is refused a place at a chosen school.
http://www.parents.dfee.gov.uk
[ pour découvrir comment fonctionne le système scolaire britannique....et
comment il est présenté aux parents.
Voyez par exemple la page sur 'tests and assessments'
http://www.dfee.gov.uk/ncat/
et la page sur 'bullying'

aspects du problème, et conseille des actions à chacun: les enfants, les
parents, les profs, etc... :

CONCEPT TO CLASSROOM (wNetSchool Bulletin - December)
------------------------
http://www.thirteen.org/wnetschool/concept2class/index.html
A new workshop, "Interdisciplinary Learning in Your Classroom" launches at
the end of this month! This workshop was created in consultation with
interdisciplinary learning expert Dr. Heidi Hayes Jacobs, and guides the
user through the step-by-step journey of creating an interdisciplinary unit
for his/her class.
The site will also be updated to include "tools" to print out and take to
your district to apply your work in all of the workshops toward continuing
education credits. Be sure to take advantage of this valuable professional
development opportunity! In the meantime, check out our current selection
of ongoing workshops which address relevant issues in education today. This
series is a wNetSchool collaboration with Disney Learning Partnership.
[ pour enseignants. Ce site, déjà signalé à plusieurs reprises l'an
dernier, présente de façon interactive et dynamique des théories
d'apprentissage et des stratégies d'enseignement , avec des témoignages et
des exemples concerts.]

Christmas site (VIRTUAL> Virtual Teacher 7)
------------------------
All the planning for Christmas is done for teachers on our special
Christmas site - http://www.brainways.co.nz (password: festive).
This site provides teachers with a fresh approach to a festive study.
Teachers and their students use de Bono's Six Thinking hats to launch
into exploring Christmas around the world. Christmas customs, food,
songs, poems and crafts can be discovered through learning centre
activities based around Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences.
Information on Christmas around the World is presented at three
reading levels, catering for all ages and stages and making extensive
use of the Internet. Ranges of activities for students at two levels
develop essential learning skills.
The site offers templates for quick easy use by teachers when setting
up their learning centre and opportunities to create a call to social
action encourages the children to explore the real spirit of Christmas.
[ Pour enseignants. Une démarche intéressante à prendre en compte. Le
contenu n'est pas particulièrement intéressant, centré sur l'histoire de
Noël pour des petits, mais les activités sont adaptées aux différents types
d'apprentissage de Gardner : une approche différente à étudier...

Computer Viruses (Blue Web'n® Update: December 8)
------------------------
Northern Light Special Edition: Computer Viruses
http://special.northernlight.com/compvirus/ *****
It used to be that most viruses came to PCs via infected floppy disks.
That is no longer the case. Anyone involved in use and maintenance of
networks at schools and libraries has to be current on viruses, how they
work, and preventative measures for avoiding the pests. This webpage
lists links to viruses and hackers in the news, organizations that offer
educational resources and companies that offer anti-virus software
solutions. One organization I found useful was E-mailAbuse.org, which
offers advice for those managing e-mail systems.
[ un site de référence pour vousinformer et trouver des solutions. Mais
rien ne vaut un bon antivirus avec une mise à jour régulière!]

ICT School Challenges (The Scout Report -- December 8)
------------------------
A group of teachers working for the "Groupe d'Expérimentation Pédagogique
Langues & Multimedia »" (CRDP of Versailles) is organising ICT School
Challenges on a variety of school subjects. All pupils are invited to take
part in these Internet challenges. They have to work on thematic
questionnaires adapted to their different levels:
- Primary schools : Getting to know Germany, Getting to know the United
Kingdom and other English speaking countries. (in French)
- Lower secondary schools : Culture and civilisation : Germany, the UK and
other English speaking countries (in French, English, German) ; Sport in
Germany and the UK (in French, English, German)
- Upper secondary schools : Sport in Germany and the UK (in English, German)
Each "challenge" is a list of 10 to 20 questions. There are no prizes except
the satisfaction of doing well and possibly the "glory of being the best"!
