I just found three links that I really want to try out. While the first is a german website showing workouts for breaks in the (home)office, the others are some cool tools for drawing/mind-mapping/whiteboarding.
In case you are intested in Spielzeug: let`s prototype something!
One advantage of block-based programming while comparing it to “normal” one is that while learning it you get prepares for a job.
Next to clarify if the argument is too weak their exist two other motivations to continue my research:
-The interest in academia for a better distinction in the definitions
-With visual programming students from low-income or/and non-technical families can learn without requiring keyboards and in particular (and maybe more important) keyboard writing skills
Please share your experience 🙂
Because of the current circumstances we could be forced to just work remotely to keep distance for long term and not spread the disease.
Fortunately, a software engineer team nowadays can work completely online. Supervisor and supervisee here exchange messages or files and met or will meet just in a call. In the last years there is evidence of a trend towards remote work. 39% of workers in the US worked some time remotely in 2012 vs. 43% in 2016 and 15% of these remote workers just had online contact in 2012 vs. 20% in 2016. From Gallup’s “State of the American Workpace” report in 2017 page 150 and 156
But which tasks will or should be changed in management (like reading body language to better understand your supervisee) while working online?
Next to this experimental study on the impact of the change to remote work in the Chinese travel agency Ctrip and that website I’m curious if there is more!
I keep the idea of the cave art and now skyscraper will be a second key element. The contrast is quite interesting and as I lived in a city with a lot of tall buildings, research doesn’t need much time anymore.
The question which has to be answered is:
Why is the cave art undiscovered?
To answer with concept art you need some additional constraints to “stay in the track”:
What do you think ?

I want to present an idea for a software which was designed by my dear friend Ren Rainier Robles and me during the class in Software Entwicklung in the faculty of Computer Science at the Freie Universität Berlin.
DIDAKTHEK is a host for curricula and other lesson materials. Our software is designed for teachers. Our functionality includes getting and giving files. We believe that our users can help to create and continuously improve them.
Our software allows teachers to reach a lot of materials, which are open to use, or even edit to suit their individual classes. The teacher can also share own materials.
Categorising the files is another useful functionality because it is a requirement to place it into the right position in existing and used framework curricula. User can use this and also the search-function while looking for new inspirations. Tags are relevant to associate topics and methods with my filename.( For example, if my lesson plan called “force” is using the method “think-pair-share” to motivate: I should assign the tag with the name of the method to the files)
We want to help improve the quality of the curricula, lesson plans, worksheets, electronic resources and even drafts for blackboards. We believe that this improve lessons and therefore improve the grades of students. The teachers have to be supported.
You can trust us! Our system is transparent and clear. If you upload the files on our website we allow every user to use it and you can use everything that’s in our database if you are a user.
But becoming a user can’t be for free and our plan is to have schools as a partner which sponsor access to their teachers, but we want also other sponsors like organizations, companies, people and all other investors who are interested in improving Education. This global mission funded by the private sector helps schools and give us the resources that we need for programming and establishing.
Our first reference: Dropbox allows to share all types of files, but it’s not designed to publish and it’s also not designed for teachers. Picture source
DIDAKTHEK is something new and we do expect “resistance to change” … in the beginning!
We are trying to achieve that the platform help reducing the very time consuming activity of creating the same things by different people again. While using existing and shared materials user can link references and invent something that is really new.
Github is used to share globally and allows to link to other user’s files, but it’s designed for software developer. Picture source

My personal background as a teacher is the reason why I’m already experienced situations where this software would be a great value and if somebody want to make this dream reality or has already seen something similar please tell me.
