Howard Zinn people's history of America, I'm reading it at the moment, is there any alternative?

Hello, I’m Italian and I’m reading what I understood to be a classic in American HIstory. I’m throug 100 pagesi in and I have the feeling that the author is a bit too partisan and unbalanced. Sometimes I feel that he had already decided what happened and then he tries to find facts that confirm his prejudices....

vanveen,

Yes, you are right. But it seemed very quiet there.

vanveen,

That makes sense

vanveen,

I do care aboutwhat is almost true. One gathers the facts and in the end gives an interpretation

vanveen,

THanks for the info: is there any resource online?

vanveen,

unfortunately yes, it is. I rather prefer to be kicked in the nuts than read the whole thing. Believe me.

vanveen,

to be kicked in the balls? or to find ocr resource?

vanveen,

Oh man, you don’t want to know: Manual for the Written Exam of the School concourse with Summary Sheets on Pedagogical, Psychopedagogical, and Didactic-Methodological Competences

vanveen,

the title is a bad translation I did from Italian. If you are very very curious I can write down a list of book I desperately want to read but I can’t because of this friggin’ book

vanveen,

I appreciate the irony 😀 😀 .
There you go: manuale per la provascritta del concorso scuola con schede di sintesi su competenze pedagogiche, psicopedagogiche e didattico metodologiche. Really, a digital copy doesn’t exist.

vanveen,

is that a Joke? Subtle but I like it

vanveen,

(⁀ᗢ⁀)

vanveen,

the subject is superboring, I need to study in a short time and I am not a schoolboy (unfortunately) anymore. I need to do it for a teaching recruitment competition. The book – probably written by a bot – is foul. I love study and I love reading, but this is a torture. I turned to technology to save some of this torture. That’s all.

vanveen,

thanks, I’ve never thought of it, but the won’t never do such things, that would have seen as ‘peculato’. Here in Italy where corruption is a major problems that is an hyperlegislation to avoid it. Peculato would be, I believe, in English embezzlement

vanveen,

did not know that. Thanks a lot!

The desire to build a self-defense kit from Google and the Internet as it is today

(if you don’t want to go through all my strident words) Thus, after this rant, my question is: where do I start from to build my surviving kit and my right to be private and disclose personal information to who and when I want to. How I become the actual owner of my device?...

vanveen,

Sorry, but I haven’t a clue of what you are saying.

vanveen,

where do I start from scratch, taking into account that English isn’t my mother tongue and Italian is? Could you point me a guide, video, something for dummies that can explain, and is authentically conceived to educate and teach to person like me who wanto to learn but 4 times out of 5 ends up with frustration for the jargon and language for initiated the is in forums often spoken?

vanveen,

thanks a lot man, this is really helpful: veyr understandable. (first time that I read in clear letter that this kind of technologiy is designed primarly to share information. And it is a shame that here in Europe laws don’t force corporation to build technology that has as a goal the privacy first. I am passionate in literature and Cultural studies, thus if we were living in another world I believe I would not read this stuff, because my heart beat for humanities (in a finite and short life: reading all Cormac McCarthy’s opus for a second time it would be for me highly preferrable than learn about networks, but this is the world I live in and I am tired of these damn corporation that treat people like objects)

vanveen,

thanks a lot, very very kind. A curiousity: why google translate and not deepL that seems way more accurate than the previous?

vanveen,

Unfortunately I do need, there’s a lot of garbage, but also a lot of superinteresting stuff and so fare there’s no any solid alternative.

vanveen,

Could not agree more.

vanveen,

Sorry, I don’t understand: is there a degoogle magazine? I checked online and I could not find anything that goes under this name.

About Google and Degoogling in schools

Here in Italy, often schools, the educative relationship betwenn teachers and students is kept through google classroom. Once I’ve worked in a school that had both solutions: Moodle (the usability is very very scarce) and Google classroom. During the years I’ve developped an increasing grudge toward Google, because in the...

vanveen,

google classroom is neat, clean and monstrously easy to use. Moodle isnt’, at least the inteface implemented in my school wasn’t. Correcting an essay on moodle was a utterly uncomfrotable.

vanveen,

Public school in general are place out of time and out place. The majority of people, the princpals do not have a clue about anyting pertaining these fields. Most of the teachers don’t feel the privacy issue as a major problem and often talk to each other and with students via what’s app. It is a mess, a big one. No strategy, no plan whatsoever. Not even the need to learn and become slightly litterate about this matter. what’s look cool and American, siliconish valley is right and felt as modern.
