Difference Between Herpes And Folliculitis

Disseminating Health Information Literacy Using Information Literacy, Web 2.0

One of the first actions were made in the Literacy Program Informational Cuban National Health System was to develop activities in medical libraries for motivation and awareness of information literacy.

In those days the National Clearinghouse for Medical Sciences InfoMed started a new project incorporating the key tools Web 2.0, was the emergence of that months later would be called InfoMed 2.0, offering users Telematics Network of Health the ability to create your blog, build wiki content, share their favorite images to work with, among other facilities that already had as background Virtual University Health and intranet using Plone and content management system development by users Supercourse, discussion lists and the development of virtual teaching-learning (VLE) using Moodle.

We had the technology ready and available to all health professionals in the country also supported by computerization program that favored the Red all Medical Library with 4 PCs connected and providing services 24 hours, but that served all that valuable human capital investment if it was not ready for proper use?

was then that without realizing what we did (for lack of knowledge) decided to conduct motivational activities linking the main aspects of information literacy with Web 2.0, so as we say in good Cuban "kill two birds with one stone" we would get Participants identified the importance of achieving knowledge, skills and attitudes to recognize a need for information and the ability to identify, locate, evaluate, organize, communicate and use information effectively to both decision making and continuous learning, appropriating addition to the basic skills for using the services of Infomed 2.0.
was
National Meeting in Provincial Centre Directors (Oct/2007) that the idea of \u200b\u200brealizing concrete in each province and finalized the details with the directors of the Information Centers for their implementation, the fixed schedule and defined its objectives and resources; 10 days Camaguey welcomed us starting the motivational process in the country.

immediately began to create personal blogs, thematic and institutional and planets were created that grouped and promoted the use of RSS, appeared infomedwiki projects such as a book of pediatric neurology at the collaborating professionals around the country, also had a repository of images of EEG Infomedgaleria Cuban children are socialized favorite sites leveraging the collective experience of members of the network to select and characterize sources of relevant information that can be reused and categorized based on their own criteria then had to teach what was a cloud of tags.

curiosity for novelty and relevant content could be of interest to the present and therefore the motivation was totally spontaneous, both librarians, computer specialists and for teachers in our medical schools and even some managers who participated in these workshops territorial.

After 7 months we get in all the provinces appear Program leaders and facilitators of the workshops to continue replicating and expanding the necessary motivation to achieve ownership of core competencies of information by health workers and use the tools Web 2.0 to manage the information they need to manage knowledge that is imposed on any of the functions they perform, much care, teaching, researching and management, and also recognize the library as the ideal and librarians as fundamental link in the process, incorporating the teaching teams and turning them from passive participants in assets.

are aware that the challenge is huge, this is only the beginning of a long road, but as we sang Serrat, "is made by walking" and the UNESCO workshop that enabled us to participate and share with many people locked in the same objective and facilitators who have already traveled part of that road, we provide safe ride for ours.

Urgent: MEDUCA ARE REQUIRED TO TEACHERS TO BE IN SCHOOLS IN JANUARY ....




________________________________
MEDUCA TEACHER IS REQUIRED IN JANUARY TO MAKING SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ARE NOT ORGANIC LAW TELLS



After numerous complaints received in grassroots organizations, Veraguense Educators Association, has extended MEDUCA note requesting in writing the legal basis on which the support orders issued to principals of schools, where they contend that
communicated by teachers that must be present in their schools starting in January, once the holiday period, to strengthen, serve "happy holidays" cleaning
schools, preparation of teaching material and other activities not related to our
teaching, as these do not appear in legislation typified Panama as part of teaching activity.

clearly in Article 208 of the Consolidated Law 305 of 2004: "The teachers of the schools officers will be entitled to thirty days furlough with pay, which will pay for the time that students are on vacation ...

expiration of the mandatory period of rest from work, the Ministry of Education may convene educators and educators to attend teacher training courses, ensuring that its implementation corresponds to the period immediately preceding the start of the year following school .. "

instructions, to be in January in the schools, have been given verbal, in schools. It seems everything old is due to the government's strategy to give verbal commands and then nobody is responsible for what they say. It is therefore necessary that regional directors and school, know in detail what he says educational legislation, and so avoid profanity.

Specifically, the AEVE is demanding the

MEDUCA not be pressuring teachers or supervisory meetings with the Head of School to be presented to give reinforcement to the commencement of work, happy holidays or other activity that clearly violates the provisions of the Education Act and other laws.

That when an order emanating from a higher office, we require it to communicate with all formal requirements for all subordinate positions, to know clearly where decisions emanating Well contrary to law even if the Minister Salvador Rodríguez, it must also comply with the law

also AEVE are requesting a certified copy of document ordering principals, which may be communicated to teachers who must be present in their schools starting in January, once the holiday period, to strengthen, serve "happy holidays", cleaning of schools, making teaching material and other activities not related to our teaching.

".. what happens is that you save MEDUCA budget execution, as the world tells them shockingly failed neoliberal standards the IDB and the World Bank, taking teachers battle horses that will solve the inefficiencies that neither this nor previous ministers have been resolved ... this legal aberration shows, by far, once again, that those who currently run the country's education totally ignore the institutional and out with Legalese how are you. Unfortunately we live the government of ignorance in education management and how we will not have an educational crisis accelerated ... "said Professor Juan Ramón Herrera to this drafting table.

AEVE, demand action to curb PRD slip-PP electioneering under Executive Order 428 on Permanent Appointment of Teachers

government recently issued Executive Order No.

428 of August 26, 2008

"TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PERIOD LABORATORY FOR TEACHERS IN CONDITION NAMED INTERIM OR TEMPORARY UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR EFFECT OF PERMANENT APPOINTMENT. " This decree at a glance seems to have a good intention, it does justice to a large number of peer educators year after year, their aspirations have been denied access to a decent life ensuring its stability with a permanent appointment aspiration has not been possible since the MEDUCA, ignoring the provisions in laws governing appointments processes, year after year, has not undergone permanent most of the vacancies that annually claim the education system, but increases the TEFAS number of temporary, not to compromise budget, for obvious IFIS tax advice to the budget.

While the purpose of the decree is positive, the teachers know the system Corsair politician who is under the Panamanian Education, fills us with suspicion by being in full electioneering period in 2009, where the slogan of the party government is to perpetuate itself in power as the only valid reference neoliberal business sectors, with the beloved daughter of the head noriegato, Balbina Herrera.

If this decree applies politicians, this will be a source of conflict with teachers unions, that is, if its implementation is not done in a fair and transparent mechanisms

by scientists who seek really satisfy the rights of teachers. Therefore, to stop the politicking that could be unleashed by the government, is urging the MEDUCA AEVE following:

"List of educators, with years of national service that meets the requirements of this decree (3 years and 5 years are difficult to access in urban areas). Furthermore, we demand that this list is published. Vacancies ....

difficult to access national school will be given to these teachers. We demand that these vacancies are posted. criteria or requirements to consider when the time of granting a vacancy a tie between

educators.

Send

vacancy listings (point 2) and lists of teachers (point 1) to the respective selection committees in the country. "(part of letter sent to MEDUCA).

These points help to make transparent the application of this decree, so that teachers have the right and meet the requirements stability will be granted, and do not come to blur the traditional Panamanian education lists of members or the cousin's cousin's aunt and the aunt of a high oligarch, congenital disease of corrupt political system we live.

_______________________________ Fraud

the OCAS

One of the wildest inventions, machined by various ministers who have gone through the MEDUCA in the last period of neoliberal governments has been to the OCAS, teacher trainers agencies. And politics is that repeats the vicious circle of ignorance that sustains electioneering party political system, therefore, to which education is a major political spoils. So CBOs have proved to be an extension mechanisms of ignorance politicking, giving the ruling party members and friends, these training contracts for teachers, whose plans do not have neither feet nor head resulting waste of millions of dollars.

With mind on the planet from scratch, the brand new neoliberal administrators have made a circus theme of the training, less quality, clear objectives and terms of comprehensive scientific reference for agencies contracted trainers are really capable. The time will come when these officials are called for justice to account.
