    This is great. How many of these spaces do you have in your school? What infrastructure, AUPs, development, wireless access, etc. do you need to facilitate these environments?

Ellen Galinsky: Rethinking How We Learn and Work - 0 views

  • As Linda Stone has written, we can't continue to function on what she calls "continuous partial attention," which she differentiates from multi-tasking. We aren't just shifting from one task to another, she has written, but we are hyper-alert, paying attention to input coming from every direction at the same time, including listening to conversations, responding to computers and smart phones

    Linda Stone (of the theory conscious computing; here's Jenkin's interview with her: http://goo.gl/7ngpi) is compared to others concerned with scattered brains. Yikes!

Brain scan: Making data dance | The Economist - 0 views

  • “THE biggest myth is that if we save all the poor kids, we will destroy the planet,” says Hans Rosling
  • that it no longer makes sense to consider the world as divided between developing and industrialised countries; and that people everywhere respond similarly to increasing levels of wealth and health, with higher material aspirations and smaller families.
  • The best measure of political stability of a country, he believes, is whether fertility rates are falling, because that indicates that women are being educated and basic health services are being provided.

  • Within a year Google had bought Gapminder, and a version of the bubble-graph software is now available free online under the name Google Motion Chart.
  • Do the data give any sneak previews of our future? “For most of human history, the world has been dominated by Asia, and it will be again within 40 years,” he says. “While nothing now can stop the surge to 9 billion, if the poorest 2 billion get improved child survival and the ability to buy bicycles and mobile phones, population growth will stop. We cannot have people at this level looking for basics like food and shoes. Lower-middle-income countries will also forge forward—but only if we invest in the right technologies to avoid severe climate change.”
  • “We can stop population growth, we can eradicate poverty, we can solve the energy and the climate issues but we have to make the right investments,” he says. “I know a good world is possible if we leave emotion aside and just work analytically.”

    The data minded Hans Rosling allows us to peek into his mind and how he approaches the presentation of data and how we can learn from it. I love his approach to change: "Leave emotion aside, and just work analytically."

What Are The Standards To Judge Reform Success? Part 2 - 0 views

  •  
    He who controls the frame controls the policy. If the right has taught us nothing else, it has taught us that. You have to play the hand you're dealt, or figure out a different way to deal. The left (and I include most education leaders here) have not been able to control the frame, hence, the policies we have today.

  • We added people based on talent, not on the proximity by location. 
  • In the knowledge economy, not doing so would be foolish and would limit our prospects. The deciding factor was prospective team members’ connectedness.
  • With the rise of broadband, a new factor has come into play: connectedness. Connectedness allows companies big and small to exist as a stateless entity.
