Website Survey: 'Mac vs PC' stereotypes broadly true | MacNN - 25 views

  • Mac owners broadly knew: that they see themselves as hip, liberal, verbally-oriented, more adventurous and more creative, while PC people see themselves as very mainstream, conservative (in the general sense of the term, not just politically), math-oriented and less comfortable overall with computers and technology.
  • Mac users can seem trendy, shallow, arrogant or pretentious -- the favourite soft drink picked by Mac users was San Pellegrino Limonata, while the PC users chose Pepsi -- and from a Mac person's view, PC users tend to be rigid, close-minded, conformist and boring.
  • Mac users are 80 percent more likely to be vegetarian; PC users prefer Harleys to Vespas by 70 percent; PC users love the cute captioned cats of I Can Haz Cheezburger, while Mac users get their smiles from Boing Boing
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Mac users are better educated (67 percent of Mac users completed a four-year degree, while only 54 percent of PC users did so), more liberal (58 versus 36 percent), more urban (52 percent said they live in a city while PC users tended to live in rural or suburban areas) and younger (18-34 demographic) than their PC counterparts (who tended to be more in the 35-49 demographic).
  • PC users, the survey found, like fitting in over "making their own mark" (twice as often as Mac users); prefer staying at home to "partying"; enjoy mainstream TV shows (such as "The Tonight Show") and TV channels (The History Channel, Syfy, USA) much more than Mac users (who tend towards edgier shows like "Parks and Recreation" and channels like Bravo, Showtime and HBO); they prefer to be "later adopters" of technology and are twice as likely to find it a "struggle" that's akin to learning a foreign language, and PC users tend to stick with well-established brands in everything from restaurants to painters, while Mac users bent towards the newer, more fashionable trends.

    Who's hipper? Mac folks, of course - more educated, too!

Can a Playground Be Too Safe? - NYTimes.com - 13 views

  • “If children and parents believe they are in an environment which is safer than it actually is, they will take more risks. An argument against softer surfacing is that children think it is safe, but because they don’t understand its properties, they overrate its performance.”
    • Steve Ransom
       
      True in online social spaces, too!
  • “What happens in America is defined by tort lawyers, and unfortunately that limits
  • “Children need to encounter risks and overcome fears
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The best thing is to let children encounter these challenges from an early age, and they will then progressively learn to master them through their play over the years.”
  • “Risky play mirrors effective cognitive behavioral therapy of anxiety,
  • “Older children are discouraged from taking healthy exercise on playgrounds because they have been designed with the safety of the very young in mind,” Dr. Ball said. “Therefore, they may play in more dangerous places, or not at all.”
    • Steve Ransom
       
      Yet another parallel to be found here with online interactions and social/learning spaces. Banning children from these spaces does nothing the teach them how to use them wisely... and they find ways around our filters anyway without the benefit of wise adult guidance.

wall street stock - 0 views

  •  
    But the importance of the stock market can not be compromised. Grant certainly has a leading position worldwide. And high-income people are attracted by the magnetism of this market. It seems a dream world too, as it will help to multiply their money quickly if abnormal earnings caused by large corporations. Rising stock prices gives high dividends and therefore a quick buck. Unless the element of risk, the market seems an evergreen tree, where the money if you sow the seeds would be the investment and fruit in the form of high dividends appreciated for a lifetime.

Fight With Your Financial Crucial Time With Debit Card - 0 views

  •  
    When you have to do so, it is only because you don't really have much of an alternative. Much of the instances revolve around your inability to deal with expenses that come up all of a sudden. In these circumstances, you will always look for a way to attain the funds at a short notice and that too against viable terms. In a way, you can then consider applying for debit card loans.

Teacher Agency vs The Collective Voice - The Learner's Way - 2 views

  •  
    With good reason, much is made of learner agency but the concept of teacher agency is important too. If we hope to build a profession in which we are all self-navigating life-long learners, we must acknowledge the role that teacher agency plays.

Transforming Homework to Home Learning - The Learner's Way - 5 views

  •  
    A recent strategy to alter the negative image that homework has built is to re-brand it as "home learning". But is this enough and if we are going to "get it right" what do we need to change besides the name?
  •  
    I loved this quote from the article: "...options should be constructed that are relevant to students' interests and goals (autonomy support), are not too numerous or complex yet not too easy (competence support), and are congruent with the values of the students' families and culture of origin (relatedness support).' (Katz. & Assor. p439. 2007)."

The challenge of educating for unknown unknowns - The Learner's Way - 2 views

  •  
    It is almost precisely eighteen years since Donald Rumsfeld uttered his now well-regarded commentary on the danger of "unknown unknowns". At the time his remarks brought more confusion than clarity and reinforced for many a belief that politicians use words to conceal the truth. Somehow though, Donald's words from 2002 seem to fit the world of today, and the challenges confronting educators all too well.

Taking risks outside our comfort zone - The Learner's Way - 8 views

  •  
    Possibly the most dangerous place to spend too much time is inside your comfort zone. Only when we take a risk and step away from the safety of the familiar and the ways we have always done things do we expose ourselves to new ideas and become open to the possibility of learning and discovery. The trouble is having the confidence to take that first step, to embrace discomfort and become open to the risks that come with trying something new.

Taking a Reflective Stance - The Learner's Way - 3 views

  •  
    To ensure reflective practice is more than an activity added to our schedule, we need to take a reflective stance. Too often, reflection becomes the thing we do at the end of a task or the end of the day. We look back and contemplate what was, and with that in mind, we look forward to what we might do differently next time. It is in this way a very reactionary process. By all means, this form of reflection has its place, and it can be a powerful strategy to deploy as we seek to learn from experience. If we value reflective practice, we will be sure to set aside time for this form of reflection on a routine basis. By engaging in reflection habitually, we ensure that it is a routine part of our day. But adopting a reflective stance can make this more powerful.
