Yesterday, the 10 October, Google celebrated with a doodle the 106th birthday of the most active war journalists of the 20th century. Clare Hollingworth’s  a pioneering war journalist.

Clare Hollingworth - who died this year on January 10th aged 105 - was the first war correspondent to report the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

She had been working at the Telegraph for less than a week when she broke the story, described as the "scoop of the century".

Just one week after joining The Telegraph, Clare showed the world why she was called “the doyenne of war correspondents.” 

Travelling alone across the Germany-Poland border, she witnessed the outbreak of the Second World War on September 1, 1939 when, as a novice Daily Telegraph stringer, she was woken at her hotel in the Polish town of Katowice by the sound of anti-aircraft fire aimed at German bombers.

Before she landed "the scoop of the century" as a rookie reporter, Clare Hollingworth had already saved the lives of thousands of Eastern European refugees, getting them out of harm’s way as German and Russian armies advanced.

“I would never use my femininity to get a story that a man could not get,” Clare once said, a testament to her taste for danger, and her belief that better stories came from the most dangerous assignments.

Because today is the Day of the Girl, I think it's important to say girls should dream big and most of them do. They aspire to be austronauts, scientists, artists, teachers, writers and why not war journalists.
And now, it's time to the review of the most popular posts of September:

October 1st was the World Music Day.  I love music, I have a master degree in Music/Piano. I celebrated the day in an emotional way.

But October 1st was also World Ballet Day. Well, to me Ballet belongs to the World Dance Day celebrated every year on the 29th April.

However some countries celebrate the World Ballet Day on 1st October as we can watch the vido below:

Ballet is a pretty well-loved theme in many children’s books and movies, and we often find some novels or movies with ballet at their heart.

To celebrate the day in honour of plies, here a movie and a book about ballet that teachers can explore in school.

Both based on true stories of ballet dancers: Jamie Bell(UK) and Misty Copeland (USA). My tribute to World Ballet Day.

And now my rundown of thr most read post in September.I wrote a few posts in English and French, sharing some educational resources to ease and enrich the lives of educators and their students in order to facilitate effective teaching and learning.

No doubt ! Harry Potter books continue to be the ah-ah of chlidren books. And continues on my blog.

Important values of special days, books, apps, or animated movies can always be integrated in school curriculum if we know how to explore these digital resources in the classroom. 

Here are the most popular posts of the last month:

Schools : Harry Potter books again ? Yes, by magic !

Oh la ! La rentrée 2015 et les nouveautés 

Schools :International Literacy Day 2015

Education : European Researcher's Night is Wonder-ful!

Teachers : Join the World's Largest Lesson 

Education for a different world : International Day of Peace

Hope you are happy with your new students and have good lessons. And of course new ideas to continue integrating different digital resources as video games, animated short movies, apps and social media to that enhance the curriculum you are teaching. 

Wherever you are, be creative, happy, even you are feeling tired- September, the first month of the new school year is the worst- don't lose your joy and spontaneity of teaching. Teaching is a challenging work with many unique frustrations, but the rewards of are numerable. Keep that in mind. 

I'm back to posting the normaç roundup every week.

I can't finish this post without remember Steve Jobs. Yesterday, October 5 exactly three years ago Steve Jobs left us. But his legacy will last forever. Steve not only created one of the world's most valuable enterprise but his perspective on technology in education (iPads) have and will continue to inspire us to teach using technology to enhance learning. On his third death anniversary, here my tribute. 

Here is the Steve jobs inspiring speech which teaches most important life lesson for students, entrepreneurs, teachers, employees and everybody else.
