  •  
    GENEVA - An worldwide conference on Sunday accepted a U.N.-brokered serenity strategy that demands the development of a adjusting govt in Syria, but at Russia's insistence the bargain contract remaining the entrance start to Syria's chief professional being aspect of it. The U.S. supported away from requiring that the strategy should clearly contact for President Bashar Assad to have no part in a new Syrian govt, expecting the concession would motivate Italy to put higher stress on its long time best friend to end the aggressive attack that the resistance says has stated more than 14,000 life. But even with Russia's most specific declaration of assistance yet for a governmental changeover in Syria, it is far from certain that the strategy will have any actual impact in reducing the assault. A key expression in the contract needs that the adjusting relating to human body "shall be established on the foundation common approval," successfully providing the existing govt and the resistance veto energy over each other. Syrian resistance results instantly denied any idea of providing in a changeover with Assad, though the contract also needs protection power chiefs and solutions to have the assurance of the individuals. Assad's govt had no immediate response, but he has regularly said his govt has a liability to remove terrorists and will not take any non-Syrian style of government.

  • While a certain amount of technical skills are important, the real goal should be in cultivating digital or new media literacies that are arising around this evolving digital nerve center. These skills allow working collaboratively within social networks, pooling knowledge collectively, navigating and negotiating across diverse communities, and critically analyzing and reconciling conflicting bits of information to form a clear and comprehensive view of the world.
  • These new media literacy skills are expanding our definitions of literacy but must be cultivated from the foundation of traditional literacy.
  • "Traditionally we wouldn't consider someone literate if they could read but not write. And today we shouldn't consider someone literate if they can consume but not produce media."

  •  
    Of all the topics that can be discussed around Education, homework is possibly the one most likely to cause heated debate. It is either an essential component of learning, the foundation of positive behaviours for learning as an adult or a waste of time and energy that robs students of valuable time with family and friends. But can we make homework something that benefits everyone?

    "In my new book, "The Innovator's Mindset", one of the things that I discuss is understanding that we are not able to change others, but are able to create the conditions where change is more likely to happen.  Instead of  pointing fingers at others, it is important to recognize what we have the ability to do, and develop conditions where innovation is more likely to happen. Below are five focuses I share in the book on how to "Unleash Talent", with a quick synopsis and some questions."
