  • has to think, be flexible, change, and use a variety of tools to solve new problems. We change what we do all the time. I can guarantee the job I hire someone to do will change or may not exist in the future, so this is why adaptability and learning skills are more important than technical skills

    In this case, arts, entertainment and leisure influences science and health -- viral videos and the new way that information spreads is fundamentally changing activism and promoting change. Talk about something to another person and just have a "jab session" -- make a video that goes viral and you can change the world.
  • Vicki Davis on 03 Oct 08
     
    Interestingly, inconvenient youth is built on the Ning platform. Fascinating use. This video from the blue man group on the environment has been widely viewed around the world. Such videos spark social change -- these are not TV commercials but viral videos that spread from blog to blog and email to email. How information travels has fundamentally changed.

    Businesses see that the way to influence education is to provide meaningful, cool video for school children. This project with students shows how education and teaching can change in a new way. Kids and teachers are connecting directly to companies and one another in cool projects like this.

    Travelocity has worked to create a course on carbon offsets and wants help naming their eco-bunnies. This looks to be something fascinating for elementary teachers. Would love to hear what you think?

    Share this with your students who love video games. I love how Alfred shares his thoughts on the transition from gamer to game designer. This is a huge market especially as education moves to gaming platforms as well.

    This blog post is from one of Microsoft's bloggers and helps students understand what is required to create video games versus just playing them. Fits in well with Flat Classroom.

      This should be written like a wikipedia article in 3rd person so you'll want to rewrite this - also the current news section needs quite a few hyperlinks. How about all of the Google Docs and google type things that let you compute in "the cloud" -- also, things like timebridge let work flow around the world. Look at other things that help people work together like Elluminate, for example.

  • Workflow software can be used many ways for a government as well as politics and employment. Working as a group simultaneously is very important to fulfill some kind of difficult work, like administrating works such as Microsoft Sharepoint . Since the work that big companies do is very complicated and intertwined over and over with the part that do not really seem to be related that much, workflow software is almost mandatory to practice. Same as in politics and employment, the organization, association use this program for more efficient work capabilities (for their own profits).
