Panoramic, 3D Interactive Tour of the Hagia Sophia « Indiana Jen - 0 views

  • The Hagia Sophia (in Greek Ἁγία Σοφία) is one of the most famous churches in all of Christendom. Prior to the building of Saint Peters in Rome, it was the Christian church. The current iteration built by the Emperor Justinian in the 7th century served as the center for Christendom until its fall to the Muslim Turks in the 15th century. For 500 years, it served as a mosque until Atatürk turned it into a state museum. The Hagia Sophia  is one of the greatest landmarks in history and merits an extensive visit. In fact, I spent 24 hours on a train from Romania to Istanbul just for the opportunity to walk through its halls and visit its famed dome. However, travel is a bit extensive. Here is an exceptional 3D, interactive tour of the Hagia Sophia. Don’t worry about the Greek on the website (unless you happen to know modern Greek). The information in the tour itself is actually english. You can pan, zoom, turn, examine close-ups, etc. It takes a minute to load, so be patient!

21 Free Motivational & Inspirational Videos Clips That'll Warm Your Heart at Goal Setti... - 0 views

  •  
    "Whenever friends or family forward those jokes emails or motivational videos clips, the first thing I'll do is to delete them. Pardon me, but I seldom see any true value in those emails to really justify the few minutes reading or watching them. But a few days ago, something made me watch a motivational videos clip. It was sent by my sister. And I was glad I did that. It was so heart wrenching and yet motivational that for the first time I realize there can be gems in such emails! I cried. And I just couldn't stop. Because of that, I've decided to compile a list of all the wonderful motivational videos clips that I can find and hope they'll inspire you just like how they've motivated me. Live your life to the fullest pursuing your dreams. Regardless of whatever odds you may face. And be absolutely grateful for everything around you. Be it your friends, family, classmates or even your neighbours."

Cyberbully? No Way, Not Me - Atomic Learning - 0 views

  •  
    his project promotes an awareness of digital citizenship, specifically related to "cyberbullying." This term refers to the use of digital tools, such as email or instant messaging, to send or post text or images that have the effect of intimidating, frightening, or embarrassing another person. We will be creating a blog (Web log) of student experiences and discussions about this topic, using freely available Web tools. A sample of the questions and comments posted on the blog include exploring what is meant by cyberbullying, whether it is possible to be a cyberbully without being aware of it, and what steps a person should take if they are a victim of cyberbullying. Additional discussion questions, assessment rubrics, and information about adapting and extending the example project are included in the resource materials available for download with this project.
