We have adopted the new phase of learning with the emergence of the Internet and technology. The transformation in the education sector demands digital learning by replacing books, notebooks, posters and hard copy documents with the websites and applications. Digital Learning is becoming a standard part of the classroom teaching and learning experience. Its various forms include blended learning, virtual schools, online courses, etc., but they all have the same goal to strengthen a student’s learning experience and improve educational outcomes. The learning is facilitated by technology that gives students some element of control over time, place and path. It is the key concept that needs to be embraced by educators in today’s classrooms.

It’s amazing how we can grow into our jobs much the same way we grow throughout our lives. Sometimes, either one is not easy. As time clicks forward, I find both to get easier.
Take my job, for example. When I first started delivering furniture a bit over six years ago, I had no idea what I was getting into. My previous truck driving job was tough, mostly because I was new, but it was mostly dock-to-dock, with most (but not all) offering big chunks of real estate to maneuver in. In my present-day rig, things can get hairy, and really crazy, on any given day.
We have a stop on Farmington Avenue in Hartford, Connecticut that serves as a fair reminder to me of what it means to grow. There is a narrow driveway, with a brick building on one side, and a metal fence on the other. Both are enemies of a safety bonus if you should hit one with a tractor-trailer while backing up into a spot where you shouldn’t be. Still, it must be done because everyone who has anything to do with your paycheck needs you to be. I’ve been to this place ten times by my best estimates.
The first time I showed up there, I wanted to cry. “You want the trailer where? Why? How?” I was terrified. In the end, I managed to block four lanes of traffic with honking horns and put my box-of-furniture where it needed to be. I sweated profusely.
The second time I visited I thought, “I can do this. I did it once before, and I know it’s a possible proposition.” It was scary but I knew it could be done, and so it was. It didn’t take as long, and didn’t contain as much sweat.
On my third visit, I showed up, swung across the road with four ways a blazing, and parked the darn thing without thinking twice. A polite grandmother beeped her horn and gave me the thumbs up. There was no sweat involved.
This week, on my tenth time around the block, I rolled my eyes and thought, “Piece of cake.” Then finally, something different happened. As I was backing up, I became captivated by the duplex across the street. After that, I grew an instant attachment to the black metal fence I didn’t want to hit, and the way it meshed with the house across the street. I wondered, out loud, just how many times that building had watched me do this maneuver. Most of all, I wanted to record that moment of time. What else is new?
All this happened while I was safely out of the road. I wanted to be a good employee, so I unloaded twenty-five pieces of furniture before I made my next move. When it was time to go, I inched my combination forward and set the brakes. I opened my door, leaned out against the fence, and took this picture. I left quickly, wondering if it was any good.
A day later, I got to check out my work. I don’t believe it is the best thing I have ever shot. I do enjoy the angle I shot it from. It adds in air of interestingness to the scene.
I like to look at everything I captured in the frame. With old houses, I always like to look closely at the windows, in the off chance that I caught a ghost looking back at me. I did not see any, but I did see that there was a heart in the middle window on the left. (You may have to press “L” on your keyboard to see it clearly.)
Why would it be there, and what does it mean? Maybe the house loves seeing me visit, or likes how I can put a truck into a spot without destroying anything it has to look at all day and night. I’ve even considered that it’s a direct reflection of the love I have for the universe. It treats me well most of the time, how could I not adore it?
A big part of growth is learning. One of the things I’m most proud of learning, is how to look at things differently. My Nikon has helped me to do that. (Learning how to back a truck into close corners without incident has come in handy too.) Seeing things from new angles applies to other aspects outside of photography; I’ve learned a lot about people too. They have told me personal stories through pleasant conversations, and they have taught me things about the city or town I happen to be standing in at the moment. It’s also helped me to think about things from a fresh perspective. That in turn keeps me happy because I like to think. Who knew that learning could be so much fun? It was not enjoyable during my school days. Someone should have told me I was going there to grow, instead of calling it learning. It might have also helped if someone tucked a camera into my backpack.

Another banking Eagle photo...they can turn on a dime. You have to be ready with the camera anticipating their turns and dives. Watching them and learning their behavior is very helpful when photographing these birds.
This is the second pillow I've made just so I can practice hand quilting. I'm normally impatient so I'm surprised that I enjoy this!

that's our son Yagiz playing it safe for the moment in the middle. The boy falling next to him was a joy to watch, I don't think he spent more than a few seconds upright the whole time and laughing the whole time. much better on black

"Now that is what I call a Re-enactment!
Bartimaeus the blind beggar
May the Peace of the Risen Christ be with you! Easter is here.
We had a most successful Re-enactment of Our Lord's Passion. After so many months of preparation, sewing machines running hot updating costumes, actors learning lines, sound systems being upgraded and more, there we stood at 11am on Good Friday with microphone in hand: "Welcome to the 2018 Re-enactment of Our Lord's Passion!" And so it began.
How do we measure "success" in regards to our re-enactment?
On one measure you can use crowd numbers, donations, "Likes" and Shares and that would be appropriate if this was just a normal play. Even on that basis our event would certainly be considered a success with somewhere around 5,000 people participating and lots of great feedback and support.
But how do you measure success for a play that tries to be an authentic re-enactment of the Passion of Jesus Christ based on scripture and tradition of the Church? In this case we were told by the Pauline Fathers that many people came back and they were hearing confessions the whole day.
We saw many people following the play and praying along with us.
Crowning with Thorns
Many came up to us after the play thanking us for such an invigorating presentation of our Lord's Passion. Here are some of the early tales we have been told of the day.
One of the biggest challenges with a moving play is the safety of actors, crew and pilgrims as the play moves from scene to scene. We try many methods such as fixed tape and ropes as well as rope held by our marshalls. Enforcement for keeping the crowd back tends to fall towards the soldiers who, like in a theatre restaurant, instruct the crowd to move back for their own safety. Our photographer, eager to get "the photo", allowed a little old lady to sneak past the barriers so she could touch the cloak of Jesus. As the Centurion swung his arm giving orders to his soldiers, this lady who stood upright under his swing moved forward. "What the?" cried the Centurion and firmly moved her back with instructions. I thought she would be concerned at the firm treatment but she was grinning ear to ear and holding her bag telling her family, "I touched his cloak!"
I touched Jesus' Robes!
Some of our Marshalls volunteered to help on the day. Often these had not experienced the fluid intensity of a moving play like this and even though they were holding on to the rope barrier, found themselves sucked into the crowd. When the Centurion or one of the soldiers noticed their lost marshall and we heard the cry, "Get him out of there!" as they reached in and brought him back into line.
Our marshalls and soldiers request people to stay back for their own safety. When the Roman soldiers and Jewish guards broke out into another scuffle we heard the cry, "They're fighting again!" and the crowd suddenly made space. "Please stand back for your own safety," we once more cried as the procession moved on.
When Jesus was being scourged, the process started with one Roman making a few lashes. Then he gets moved back with the cry, "Let someone do it properly!" The primary flogging Roman soldier let fly with the whip dipped in the fake blood. Drops of blood flew in an arc and the soft straps struck Jesus with a satisfying slap and Jesus cried out. The crowd stopped chattering with an audible gasp.
One of our new actors had not actually attended the play in past years so this was all an amazing experience. When Jesus was being scourged and mocked, tears came to her eyes, but the Woman of Jerusalem in charge held her and said, "Don't cry yet. We have to call for his crucifixion in the next scene." So she held back her tears and like a trooper joined the crowd calling for Jesus' crucifixion. As she said afterwards, it won't be the same contemplating the story of Jesus' Passion in future.
At the start of the play we made sure the actors and crew knew that this was a "Live" play. That meant no retakes, no pause to re-do the scene, no stepping in to try again. "The play must go on!" we instructed. "After all, the pilgrims haven't read the script and the story won't be affected if your lines are not exact. So long as we get the important bits in the right order, no-one will know." That was good advice.
When Pontius Pilate was standing majestically on the balcony addressing the crowd, the sign of Roman Superiority detached from the balcony railing and fell to the ground with a crash. Pontius Pliate's eyes opened wide for a brief moment and then he turned his gaze back to the Crowd and Caiaphas and the Jews and continued as if nothing was wrong. The crew quickly removed the sign and all moved on as if this was part of play. We were told afterwards how clever this was, the falling of the sign representing the fall of Roman Justice. The play must go on.
Although we have a script which covers all the main dialogue and actions, the flavour comes from the interactions and improvised dialogue of the actors. Insults between the Jews and Romans provided occasional humour too. At the crucifixion, one of the Jewish Chief Priests called out "How many Romans does it take to Crucify someone?" Being sick of their taunts a Roman Guard approached them and said, "I have room for one more. Are you ready?" The Chief Priest stepped back behind the Jewish Guards and replied, "I have an appointment tomorrow and can't today."
We will report further tales as they come to light, but I want to end this post-play post with some heartfelt thanks. When organising an event like this where there are months of preparation involving over 100 cast, crew and support organisations, the whole thing only works when people do their part. This year worked so well because everyone did their part, no matter how small that part may have appeared. The actors didn't just remember their lines, but they also worked with their fellow actors and added their own ideas for their character. For example, the actor playing the blind beggar Bartimeus had the idea of having a blindfold and sat in his spot near the start of the play, begging for alms for about 20 minutes before the play reached him. Then he improvised with many calls for alms and requests about what the commotion was. It was a great job which really brought out the character of the blind beggar. It may have only been a bit part, but it formed part of the greater whole.
The same applied for each of the roles, from the primary speaking parts through to the behind the scenes actors of the Women of Jerusalem and Apostles before and after the abandonment of Jesus.
So many people have done their parts and done them well I am very proud to have been able to assist in co-ordinating and directing the play. An event like this generates a great camaraderie and fellowship and fosters a deeper understanding of not just this critical point in salvation history, but also the very human element that is the point of the whole Passion. Every actor and member of the crew and supporters must know that all the work and effort has been worthwhile to so many people.
Thank you.

The second public school of Partskhanakanevi, Georgia
Akaki Fertsuliani, a 19-year-old teacher at Partskhanakanevi public school in the village of Fartskhanakanevi in the Tskaltubo municipality, is one of those rare people who understands the technological pulse of the modern world and realises the need to adapt to new realities in the wake of progress.
Akaki was in the 12th grade and had already created several games, when Ilia State University, together with partner organisations, within the framework of the EU "Education for Employment" (Skills4Jobs) program, started the project, "Network of Youth Technology Clubs ". The project invited schools from eight regions in Georgia to provide students with knowledge in coding or technical entrepreneurship. As part of the project, the second public school of Partskhanakanevi decided to teach students Python.
Akaki has become a trainer at the technology club, as well as a programmer, a technology guide and a confident assistant.
