El documento ha sido redactado en forma de carta a una tía imaginaria, recién nombrada Secretaria de Comunicaciones de un país latinoamericano. Este pretexto narrativo nos permite abordar de manera creativa la discusión de temáticas y propuestas que ayuden a sacar mejor provecho de las oportunidades que brindan las tecnologías de información y comunicación, TICs, para el desarrollo humano en la región. ...

"El problema más serio que nos encontramos al ver programas que tienen que ver con TICs y desarrollo es que muchísimas veces, demasiadas, éstos están desconectados de lo que sucede y se necesita en el mundo real de las personas"....

A través del arte, la literatura, la exploración de ciudad a partir del cuerpo, su casa y el vecindario, los participantes desarrollan experiencias de ciudadanía desde las formas tradicionales y modernas de comunicación. La cuestión central que el documento resolverá es, ¿cómo pueden contribuir las TIC a la construcción de un proyecto de Educación para la vida? De acuerdo con esto, el libro ha sido dividido en 7 capítulos, el primero de ellos dedicado al lugar y el contexto donde se desarrolló el proyecto, el segundo a hacer un recorrido, desde lo local hasta lo continental, sobre los usos de las TIC en la construcción de ciudadanía y gobernabilidad; el tercer capítulo relata el proyecto desde la comunicación y la cultura, el cuarto lo hace desde la educación, el quinto desde la identidad, el territorio y la memoria, el sexto capítulo se enfoca a revisar lo que ocurrió en el proyecto desde la ciudadanía. En el séptimo capítulo desarrollaremos las conclusiones y las perspectivas de trabajo a partir de lo construido. ...

“La actividad cultural -dice Bernardo Kliksberg- ha sido vista con frecuencia, desde la economía, como un campo secundario ajeno a la vía central por la que debe tratarse de hacer avanzar el crecimiento económico. Ha sido con frecuencia tratada de hecho como un área que insume recursos, que no genera retornos sobre la inversión, funcionales económicamente, que es de difícil medición, y cuya gerencia es de dudosa calidad. A su vez también ha existido desde el terreno de la cultura, una cierta tendencia al auto encierro, sin buscar activamente conexiones con los programas económicos sociales. Todo ello ha creado una brecha considerable entre cultura y desarrollo. Ese estado de situación significa pérdidas considerables para la sociedad”...

While your child will enjoy doing Gol-Gol Games, you as the parent/ teacher/ facilitator may need to figure out how to guide your child through Gol-Gol Games, or play the game with your child.

We are trying to use the “Socratic” method, as in asking questions and letting children think about the answers. We suggest you allow children to think and write the answers. Try not to draw either the objects or the circles for the child. Try to avoid suggesting techniques and methods of thinking. Children can develop their own ways of thinking. Less help in finding answers is a good thing for children! It makes them think. More time in finding answers is a very good thing for children! It makes them think without pressure. Read a book while the child draws. Relax....

Imaginamos escenarios posibles y mejores a través de un proyecto; planeamos ese escenario, hacemos cuentas, pensamos, escribimos y avanzamos en lo que hemos imaginado. Al tiempo nos damos cuenta que lo imaginado no fue con exactitud, que algo faltó o sobró. Hay proyectos a muy corto plazo, como una comida entre un grupo; hay otros para toda la vida como la gestación de un ser humano, hay otros proyectos que salen del marco familiar y se meten en otros vecindarios, buscando mejorar lo presente. ...

Una comunidad de aprendizaje asume que toda comunidad humana posee recursos de aprendizaje, agentes instituciones y redes que necesitan ser identificadas, valoradas, desarrolladas y articuladas para asegurar las necesidades de aprendizaje de todos en la comunidad. Una comunidad de aprendizaje adopta una visión amplia de educación y coloca el aprendizaje en el centro, abarcando educación, talleres y ambientes de aprendizaje. Una comunidad de aprendizaje está basada en la premisa de solidaridad, cooperación y alianzas entre casa y escuela, educación fuera y dentro de la escuela, instituciones privadas y públicas, a la par de un recurso humano, alrededor de una estrategia compartida de desarrollo y transformación comunitaria. ...

Franklin D. Roosevelt - “The public library is a nation’s act of believing in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgement in creating their own future.” The traditional library is changing, fast. Paper books,and the multi-level structures that house them, are becoming a thing of the past while digital books, eBooks, pave the way for a new future of instant, worldwide accessibility to knowledge. The World Public Library is at the forefront of this movement. I. History A. Purpose of the Library 1. Origins Hi, I’m Mia with the World Public Library and I would like to invite you on a journey through the library’s past present and future. Along the way we will explore what has made the library such a unique and important place historically and what the World Public Library is doing today to make the library more useful and vital than ever before. It’s impossible to think about the progress mankind has made without calculating the role that the library has played. Any city that has had a great impact on learning has had a great library behind it, fu...

Let’s be honest. No other parenting books even try to show you how to make your son or daughter a great American. We do. Thirty-two (32) great men and women from across many professions, genders, politics, religions, and walks of life—the products of extraordinary parenting and mentoring. This book offers the exact techniques, words, phrases, mantras —to propel your offspring to incredible success — toward rich, vivid lives. They worked for those parents and mentors. They can and will work for you too. Mantras are the 21st Century way to lock your ideals, standards, ethics, and principles into formative minds. By definition they demand repetition. The phrasing may stay the same or almost the same. The stories, the elaboration, the background, the colors may bob and weave. But the cores of the mantras stay fixed. Stars to remember and guide one through life. MANTRAS. The exact words used to motivate and guide those great future Americans. Distilled from over 500 biographies. These techniques, these words and phrases, WORK! This book uniquely brings you the best parenting and mentoring advice. Straight up. No bu...

“A person waking up today from a hundred years' sleep would get quite a fright. Many things would have changed, but I think the most shocking impression would be that the world has become much smaller. Not only can we travel around the globe in much less than 80 days, but money and information can do so in seconds. Markets, wars and products are all becoming globalized, as are environmental impacts and the circulation of ideas”. ...

In The 2nd Conference on Combinatorics and Graph Theory of China (Aug. 16-19, 2006, Tianjing), I formally presented a combinatorial conjecture on mathematical sciences (abbreviated to CC Conjecture), i.e., a mathematical science can be reconstructed from or made by combinatorialization, implicated in the foreword of Chapter 5 of my book Automorphism groups of Maps, Surfaces and Smarandache Geometries (USA, 2005). This conjecture is essentially a philosophic notion for developing mathematical sciences of 21st century, which means that we can combine different fields into a union one and then determines its behavior quantitatively. It is this notion that urges me to research mathematics and physics by combinatorics, i.e., mathematical combinatorics beginning in 2004 when I was a post-doctor of Chinese Academy of Mathematics and System Science. It finally brought about me one self-contained book, the first edition of this book, published by InfoQuest Publisher in 2009. This edition is a revisited edition, also includes the development of a few topics discussed in the first edition....

1.5 ENUMERATION TECHNIQUES 1.5.1 Enumeration Principle. The enumeration problem on a finite set is to count and find closed formula for elements in this set. A fundamental principle for solving this problem in general is on account of the enumeration principle: For finite sets X and Y , the equality |X| = |Y | holds if and only if there is a bijection f : X → Y . Certainly, if the set Y can be easily countable, then we can find a closed formula for elements in X....

• A very unique ValueArt+Com project. Composed in Mainz/Germany, the hometown of Johannes Gutenberg and the hometown of the culture of communication. • Dedicated to all of us, to become or to keep smart communicators! • The iBook publishing process for iPad will start soon. Via gutenberg.org you could have a preview (without animations and videos, for sure!). Background „The moment I have prepared the scenario for my research project, I wanted it to be something entertaining but serious to provide an effective scientific learning about the real value of communication via experiencing a beautiful city; Mainz as a cultural center of communication. As a Sociology student from Bogazici University, Istanbul, I have created this iBook with a professional analyst, Andreas Weber, in order to showcase the interviews, blog posts and researches we have created as a content for Value Art+Communication Project as a part of my official work in Value Communication AG, Mainz.“ About the iBook It is all about art and culture as key issues of communication! — The German city Mainz is situated in Rheinland-Pfalz state with a rich c...

“Johannes Gutenberg was our first geek, the original technology entrepreneur, who had to grapple with all the challenges a Silicon Valley startup faces today.” —Jeff Jarvis (Introduction by 
Şükran Ceren Salalı, Value Art+Communication Fellow, Istanbul) I always enjoy meeting new people from various countries and different perspectives as a Sociology student from Turkey. After doing my AFS Exchange Program in Belgium and getting involved in an international peace project in the Netherlands, I said “why not to apply the Erasmus internship program which gives an opportunity to work in different European countries for 3 months”. The city of Mainz was a kind of un-existing place for me a few months ago. I have never heard the name of this beautiful city when I was in Turkey. I think, and also what I have heard so far, when it comes to speaking about Germany, is that most of the people from other countries only know; cities like Berlin, Frankfurt, or Nürnberg, but not Mainz. When I have arrived here to start my Erasmus internship in an international research and publishing company, Value Communication AG in where I get the chan...

Introduction An easier childhood? There is a deep-seated river that contrarily runs through most American parenting. The belief that “my children” should have it easier than we, as parents, had it — when we were growing up. That is the worst mantra of parents! Spoiling your kids is the worst curse you can bestow upon your kids and yourself. It will come back to haunt you. Over and over and over. And then it will be too late. An old adage. Well, maybe we’ve grown up a little and are now more accomplished at avoiding corporeal punishment, except in the most egregious situations. But we continue to spoil them in other ways. Excess money. Excess toys. Excess time on their hands with nothing constructive to do. Excess trivia in their lives....
