Let’s begin blogging!!!!!!

Everybody must start blogging actively...

It’s a pleasure for me to find you here. From today on, we will begin blogging actively in order to develop our writing and blogging skills. As we know, blogs are useful tools for teachers nowadays because blogs provide a communication space that teachers can use with students whenever there is a curriculum need to develop writing, share ideas and reflect on work being undertaken in the classroom. 

I know that some of you already have a blog, and you already have experience sharing your ideas, opinions, and whatever comes to your mind. Nevertheless, some of you still don’t. For that reason, we will unify concepts and knowledge about blogging using a different site.
In this way, we will begin with the definition of a blog:

A blog is a web page containing brief, chronologically arranged items of information. A blog can take the form of a diary, a journal, what’s new page, or links to the other web sites.
From an education perspective the availability and ease of use of blogging software makes creating blogs a viable classroom activity and a means for teachers to communicate with other teachers. So I hope you enjoy blogging and you stimulate your imagination.  Do your best!!!!!

« ORIGAMI FOR EVERYONE

ORIGAMI FOR EVERYONE

Origami (折り紙, origami^?) (from oru meaning “folding”, and kami meaning “paper”) is the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. The goal of this art is to create a representation of an object using geometric folds and crease patterns preferably without the use of gluing or cutting the paper,and using only one piece of square paper.

Origami only uses a small number of different folds, but they can be combined in a variety of ways to make intricate designs. The most well known form is probably the Japanese paper crane. In general, these designs begin with a square sheet of paper whose sides may be different colors or prints.

The origin of the art began as Chinese Paper Folding. The Japanese origin began in the 6th century when Buddhist monks from China carried paper to Japan. The first Japanese origami is dated from this period.

Origami had already become a significant aspect of Japanese ceremony by the Heian period of Japanese history. Samurai warriors would exchange gifts adorned with noshi, a sort of good luck token made of folded strips of paper. Origami butterflies were used during the celebration of Shinto weddings to represent the bride and groom.

In the 1960s the art of origami began to spread out, first with modular origami and then with various movements developing, including the kirikomi. Origami is now an international art.
