2012

after a very quiet New Years Eve the normal life begins again.

I hope you all had a very good beginning of 2012  and now we should

start to work on our mini project?

Hope tp hear from someone in the near future?

I still have not complied with the request of Ralph and feel very bad about it.

Promise to work on it in the near future – hopefully!

Greetings from Mallorca  -  Carla

Last working day

At the beginning of the last working day, we analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of social networks, as Facebook, Wikipedia and others. We concluded that they can be freely used only in case that our privacy options are precisely defined. The great of the networks is possibility to be in touch with the dear people who are far away from us, to organize events, to direct people to a common goal,  etc.
After that we presented our mini-projects and discussed about them.
Free afternoon we visited the UlmMuseum, buying gifts for children and friends. At “the Last Supper” in the restaurant “Zur Teck”, we thanked toRalph and Manfred for their patience and dedication during the past week workshop

Planning of the possible small project

03.12.2011. Saturday
After a brief summary of what we learned in the past week “whole class” was tasked to give an idea of possible projects for seniors in the future.
My suggestion was that intergenerational (students, university experts and seniors) projects implemented in three years: The history of Europe since 2000 BS til today.
Workshop (WS) had finished dinner enjoyable days during which we exchanged impressions about our common teaching. We all agreed that brings us the knowledge acquired in Ulm raised to continue to learn a new way through the tools learned in WS.

Tuesday workshop reeport

30.11.2011. Tuesday
Today we had a presentation of the virtual meeting, and the ways in which seniors are able to learn and collaborate over the Internet. We met with the methods-tools that make it happen.
Understanding the tools – blog was interesting and I think we will continue to be very useful. In the evening’s dinner (team bilding) was excellent and efficient.

Hrvatski tekst( Croatian text):

Usprkos cinjenici da ima oko 800 000 stanovnika, sredisnju povijesnu jezgru i shoping zonu grada mozete upoznati u 2 sata lagane setnje. Svakako otiđite na tržnicu u samom centru grada, iza glavnog Jelacicevog trga, gdje seljaci iz okolice Zagreba donose svaki dan svjeze poljoprivredne proizvode i gdje mozete naci mnoga tradicionalna jela u restoranima smjestenim u okolnim slikovitim ulicicama, npr. Tkalcicevoj. Na Gornjem gradu vrijedi posjetiti Muzej naivne umjetnosti. Izlozeni likovni radovi poznati su u citavom svijetu.
