"Build a brand not a business (Construye una marca, no un negocio). El docente como marca personal. Aunque el concepto de marca personal esté muy ligado al mundo empresarial, me gustaría que pensaras por un momento en ti como un referente, como un docente que deja huella en sus compañeros de profesión y en sus alumnos. En el artículo titulado ¿Qué tipo de docente eres? ya me referí a cuatro categorías de docentes. Eran estas: El docente mediocre El buen docente El docente superior El docente que inspira Si lees con detenimiento el artículo, observarás que hay una distancia enorme entre estos cuatro tipos de docente. Pues bien, el docente que inspira a los demás vendría a ser el docente que se convierte en su propia marca personal, en un referente para sus compañeros y alumnos. Pues bien, MJ DeMarco en su libro The Millionaire Fastlane te enseña que lo primero que uno debe hacer para convertirse en una marca personal es tener lo que él denomina Unique Selling Proposition o USP (Propuesta única de venta). Si trasladas este concepto a tu labor como docente, te darás cuenta de que tan sólo se trata de cambiar el concepto de venta por el de enseñanza. La propuesta única de enseñanza para un docente. ¿Qué es? ¿Cómo se consigue? Puede ser que lleves años en la docencia y nunca te hayas planteado cuál es tu verdadero propósito. Me explico. En muchas ocasiones la zona de confort en la que un docente se instala le impide ver el auténtico propósito de su profesión. Esa zona de confort es la que, precisamente, hace que un docente acabe únicamente por explicar en lugar de enseñar. Si quieres ver la diferencia entre explicar y enseñar, aquí te dejo un enlace. En mi opinión no se puede enseñar si no se tiene claro el objetivo de lo que se está enseñando. Y este es precisamente el objetivo de cualquier negocio que fundamente dicho negocio en una marca personal. Y ahora viene la pregunta: ¿Cómo me convie

"WordPress has many uses that most of us are exceedingly familiar with. It can be a blog, business website, art portfolio, e-commerce store and so much more. Over the last few years another use case has become more and more popular: WordPress as a Learning Management System (LMS)."

"The Fairphone is a modular handset designed with repairability and ethical sourcing of its materials as headline features. It sold 60,000 units. Amazingly, for what sounds like a nerd-phone, almost half of those buyers had never owned a smartphone before. Now the Fairphone 2 is launching, and with a totally-new, in-house design. The new phone is even easier to repair, and because it was wholly designed by the FairPhone team, its supply chain is even more responsible than ever. The Fairphone is thicker than the latest iPhone or Samsung flagship, but that's the point. Instead of packing everything into a tiny case and keeping it there with glue, the Fairphone is designed to be taken apart. The lightweight magnesium frame supports modules that can be easily replaced by the user. "We have designed it with an aim to last three to five years, looking at making it robust and modular-for repairability," says Fairphone's chief communications officer, Tessa Wernink. "Obviously how long it lasts depends quite heavily on the user, so what we as a company are doing is offering an ecosystem around the phone that supports long-lasting use, first-hand or second-hand." Inside the case (itself one of several options) you'll find the core unit, containing all the chips and radios; a replaceable battery pack; a display that can be snapped off and replaced without any tools (not even a screwdriver); a receiver unit, which contains the front camera, sensors; the headset connector and microphones; a speaker/vibrator unit; and a camera module. These modules are designed to balance manufacturing complexity with repairability. For instance, the display comes as a standalone unit, but less-vulnerable components are bundled into one module. The camera, which people are most likely to upgrade as better versions become available, is also housed in its own module. That way you don't need to toss out your whole phone just to get a better camera. "In fact, the motto from the maker mo

Although many can turn their blogs into a revenue stream by offering goods and services somewhere in the mix, there are various reasons you might not be in a position to do so. For example, you may not be running a commercial business. You could be managing a non-profit organization or have no current goods or services to monetize. Many designers, writers, and voluntary groups find themselves in this situation and need to explore alternative sources of income. Donations are one of the most common ways to do just that, and they can sometimes even be more effective than ads or sponsored posts. If your readers are ready to put their hands in their pockets, you just need to provide the means. In this article, we've gathered together five of the best WordPress donation plugins to help you make that process simple. Why Use a Tip Jar? At first you might have some reservations about placing a donation button on your website. Some might feel it's in poor taste - as if you're begging your readers for help. Others doubt that it'll work, thinking readers will automatically ignore it. But the truth is that a tip jar is a great way to garner support for your WordPress site. It can provide supplemental income if you're a freelance designer or developer, and the amount brought in over the course of a month or year can offset hosting costs for your website. Furthermore, with the growing use of ad blockers, donations can be more effective than traditional online revenue streams. For startups and non-profit groups, donations are a vital means of funding campaigns. Other sites may choose to use tip jar

"In 1973, near the height of the 'population bomb' panic, a computing programme called World1 offered up some predictions for the future. It anticipated a grim picture for humanity based on current trajectories. Tracing categories such as population, pollution and natural-resource usage, World1 calculated that, by 2040, human civilisation would collapse - a century after the best year to have been alive on the planet: 1940. This film was originally broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) News as part of a report on predictions for the coming decades made by cutting-edge computing technology and leading thinkers of the time. The second segment features interviews with members of the Club of Rome, an elite think tank composed of government officials, academics and business leaders focused on the future of humanity. Their view is a bit sunnier, anticipating a world where global governments are forced to cooperate to solve complex problems, people widen their cultural horizons and work fewer hours, and limited consumption - not wealth - becomes a mark of prestige. Viewed today, it makes for an engrossing artifact, raising far more questions than it answers about humanity's ability to effectively predict its future and correct its course."

"The Kaua Moho was the last species of it's entire genus and it was the last genus in it's family. This male was not just the last of his kind, he was the last being on his entire branch of the evolutionary tree, there was nothing left on the planet that was even close to being like him. That kind of loneliness is unimaginable. No other avian family has had every single species within it go completely extinct in modern times. Different species of Moho lived on each island of Hawaii and their evolutionary cousins the kioea birds lived alongside them, but starting in 1800 (about the time Europeans started arriving to the islands in significant numbers and also about the time the native human population of Hawaii also got decimated by diseases) one by one they died out due to the introduction of foreign avian diseases and parasites, habitat loss, and hunting for their plumage. 2 hurricanes within 10 years of each other finished them off. They are all gone and that song or any song like it will never be heard again save for in recordings. The hurricanes dealt the final blow, but 95% of it was humanity's fault. This has become common in Hawaii due to having so many species that only exist there. A LOT of those species are gone now because the arrival of Europeans brought disease, invasive species, and people straight up killed them or destroyed their habitats. It is a similar situation on every isolated island or area in the world as humans have expanded and explored every nook and cranny on the planet, no matter how hard it is to get to or how little business we have there we feel the need to interfere in even the most delicate and tiny ecosystem. Even the large, continent sized ecosystems are suffering. It doesn't matter if there are millions or even billions of an animal or plant, we will find some way to kill them all. It is only in the last few decades that serious steps have finally been taken to preserve the few areas on this world that we have not destroyed, but

"The time is now. For decades, scientists have been raising calls for societal changes that will reduce our impacts on nature. Though much conservation has occurred, our natural environment continues to decline under the weight of our consumption. Humanity depends directly on the output of nature; thus, this decline will affect us, just as it does the other species with which we share this world. Díaz et al. review the findings of the largest assessment of the state of nature conducted as of yet. They report that the state of nature, and the state of the equitable distribution of nature's support, is in serious decline. Only immediate transformation of global business-as-usual economies and operations will sustain nature as we know it, and us, into the future."

"Las estimaciones de la trayectoria business as usual indican que el clima se calentará entre 3 y 4 °C para el 2100 y hasta 8-10 °C con posterioridad. El clima estable del Holoceno hizo posible la agricultura y la civilización. Hasta entonces, el inestable clima del Pleistoceno las hacía imposibles. Las sociedades humanas después de la agricultura se caracterizaron por el exceso y el colapso. El cambio climático fue causa frecuente de estos colapsos. El futuro cambio climático devolverá al planeta Tierra a las condiciones climáticas inestables del Pleistoceno y la agricultura será imposible. La sociedad humana se caracterizará una vez más por la caza y la recolección."

"Muchas de estas presentaciones, conocidas como TED Talks (Pláticas TED), discuten ideas que son particularmente valiosas para los emprendedores. Yo armé una colección de TED Talks que todos los emprendedores, incluidos los propietarios de tiendas de comercio electrónico, encontrarán interesantes y dignas de consideración. Ya que muchos de los presentadores a continuación han escrito libros, he incluido un link para su compra. Todo el dinero recaudado a través del programa de afiliados de Amazon se donó a Acumen Fund, una organización sin fines de lucro que ayuda a emprendedores en países en desarrollo."

"Every smartphone in the world has an FM tuner built in. But here in the US, just one-third of them actually works, even though the Federal Emergency Management Agency says radio can save lives in an emergency. "We know that if Internet networks or cell phone networks go down, FM still works so long as you have a battery to turn the device on," says agency spokesman Rafael Lemaitre."
