  • WikiLeaks fascine la presse, qui voit en lui une partie de son avenir.
  • Une équipe mystérieuse
  • Menacé par les services secrets américains et par tous les acteurs qu'il bouscule, WikiLeaks se protège. Pas de bureau ou d'adresse physique : seule une boîte postale à l'université de Melbourne, ainsi que des adresses e-mail anonymisées permettent aux informateurs de contacter l'équipe.
  • L'infrastructure technique, parfois en peine par manque de financement, est basée en Suède, chez un hébergeur lié au très controversé The Pirate Bay. D'autres serveurs sont répartis dans le monde entier,
  • le budget annuel de 600.000 dollars n'en est pas pour autant bouclé.
  • Le porte-parole, Julian Assange, a toutefois mis en place un comité éditorial restreint, dont neuf noms sont dévoilés. Parmi eux, Wang Dan, l'un des 21 étudiants "les plus recherchés" par la Chine après les manifestations de Tiananmen en 1989, le Britannique Ben Laurie, génie mondialement reconnu de la cryptographie, ou encore le Brésilien Chico Whitaker, cofondateur du Forum social mondial.
  • WikiLeaks a travaillé avec des élus islandais sur l'Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI)
  • Son objectif dans la vie ? "Provoquer ou orienter des réformes politiques", en révélant des informations jusque-là cachées aux citoyens. Un peu comme ce qu'avait fait son modèle, Daniel Ellsberg, en 1971 : cet ancien analyste de la RAND Corporation (un très influent think tank américain) avait alors transmis à la presse les "Pentagon papers"

Education Week Teacher: Teaching Secrets: Communicating With Parents - 1 views

  •  
    Teaching Secrets: Communicating With Parents By Gail Tillery Premium article access courtesy of TeacherMagazine.org. You will face many challenging tasks as a new teacher. Dealing with parents is probably among the most intimidating, especially if you are young and in your first career. While communicating with parents can be tricky, a little preparation will help you to treat parents as partners and to be calmer when problems arise. Here's the first rule to live by: Your students' parents are not your enemies. Ultimately, they want the same thing you want, which is the best for their children. By maintaining respectful and productive communication, you can work together to help students succeed. Second, whenever problems arise, remember that parents are probably just as nervous about contacting you as you are about returning the contact-and maybe more so. I'll confess: Even after 26 years of teaching, I still get a little frisson of fear in my belly when I see an e-mail or hear a voicemail from a parent. But I have seen time and again that parents are often more nervous than the teacher is-especially if their child doesn't want them to contact the teacher. Indeed, some parents may even fear that if they raise concerns, their child will face some kind of retaliation. Remember that parents' tones or words may reflect such fears. In your response, try to establish that everyone involved wants to help the child. Here are some practical tips for communicating effectively with parents: Contact every parent at the beginning of the year. Do some "recon." Telephone calls are best for this initial contact, since they are more personal than e-mail. Ask the parent to tell you about his or her child's strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes, etc. Make sure to ask, "What is the best thing I can do to help your child succeed?" Remember to take notes! Once you've gathered the information you need, set a boundary with parents by saying, "Well, Ms. Smith, I have 25 more parent

Book: 45 Secrets That All High School Teachers Need to Know by @RichardJaRogers - 36 views

  •  
    Mastering the art of teaching appears to be easier for some colleagues than others. Some teachers just seem to have a presence, gaining respect and credibility from students, colleagues and parents alike. Did they undergo some mysterious, magical training that wasn't covered during your teacher training course?  Well, no. They just have mastered how to manage their working relationships, using their personalities to generate rapport, which is respected by students of all age. It's not rocket science - it's far more complicated than that. Personality and behaviour clashes in classrooms are inevitable, but looking at all the different elements of daily interactions can help you gain respect from students and colleagues alike...

The Shanghai Secret - NYTimes.com - 26 views

  •  
    HANGHAI - Whenever I visit China, I am struck by the sharply divergent predictions of its future one hears. Lately, a number of global investors have been "shorting" China, betting that someday soon its powerful economic engine will sputter, as the real estate boom here turns to a bust. Frankly, if I were shorting China today, it would not be because of the real estate bubble, but because of the pollution bubble that is increasingly enveloping some of its biggest cities. Optimists take another view: that, buckle in, China is just getting started, and that what we're now about to see is the payoff from China's 30 years of investment in infrastructure and education. I'm not a gambler, so I'll just watch this from the sidelines. But if you're looking for evidence as to why the optimistic bet isn't totally crazy, you might want to visit a Shanghai elementary school.
