My comrade in arms and I- just another working day at battle station

At the beginning of our project, he was the first recruit as representative of students and coordinator of tutors volunteers, now he is my team mate and the friend of Special Middle School "Constantin Paunescu". He spoked, he translated, he wrote on the blog, he danced, he sang, he went with us at every event.

We wish him good luck and success in the future! Good job, Toma! Don't forget that you must LEAD THE WAY! :)

News about friends: Are the personal assistants welcomed into classrooms? (educational communities that work)/Noutati despre prieteni: Sunt asistentii personali bine-veniti in clasa?(comunitati educationale care functioneaza bine)

Today I will tell you about two young girls that have chosen to be personal assistants for children with disabilities.
They come to school and stay into the classroom every day with the children that they have in care.Two years ago when they appeared it was a veri first experience for School "Alecu Russo" in the matter of having personal assistants into the classroom. At first, everybody was cautious on making a  prediction about how effective will be their presence among children.
Let me tell you about how they evolved.
Or, better, guess who organized the most part of the classroom celebration of Mother's Day????
...Yeap!
"Elena" and "Maia", those amazing and beautiful girls!
... To be functional an educational community needs EVERYBODY to contribute! As result, ANY child will be welcomed, integrated and accepted!
The education of children is a job that must be shared by each member of the community... Other ways, the school becomes a lost island with no contact with the real world.
  Good job, girls!
Both of you are my heroes too!
Let me show you some photos to see how they danced and sang with the children!

Anatomy of A Great Teacher ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

There are so many discussions about teachers' commitment for their jobs...Seems to be a global issue these days. Some people are concerned that teachers don't do enough, that they don't protest enough! Well, maybe they are too busy to solve some day-by-day problems, such as providing food for their hungry students or buying teaching materials that the school doesn't offer.
Teachers fight in the trenches, on the front line. As to judge them, you should have fought at least one time with them.
So, enjoy reading!
