After 272 km (or 323 or even 346), the Thames flows into the North Sea east of London.

Click on the photo below to read more about it, its past and present importance for the British capital city. You will also find plenty of information (in Italian!) about London, what to do and see, where to stay and so on.

Happy Birthday

Pubblicato il 21 Aprile 2013 da Susanna Massa

Today, April 21, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her 87th birthday.

The official celebration, though, wil take place in June- this year on June 15- with the ceremony known as Trooping the Colour.

Why not today, you may ask? Well, for a very simple reason: any day in June promises to be a summer day, and knowing what the English weather is usually like, we can understand why it is held in June.

What is a LiveBinder? It is a virtual tool to help you organize whatever you would put in a 3-ring binder, like web-pages, PDFs, images, videos, text. What’s more, you can share it online.

For example, I have collected information and websites on Infographics in this Livebinder

LiveBinder created here.

INFOWHELM

Pubblicato il 30 Marzo 2013 da Susanna Massa

Have you ever heard the word InfoWhelm, where Whelm means “sommergere, sopraffare” (as in “to overwhelm”)? It is what happens today with the Internet:

We are bombarded with torrents of of information in everywhere we turn and the thing is most of this information is just junk […]

A solution is information literacy/fluency

to be information literate, a student must be able to recognize when information is needed, and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information .

(from here).
