  • critical thinking demands objective examination of a topic and then a conscious response to that examination.
  • The ability to think critically is arguably the most important skill for the 21st century person. It’s the equipment anyone can use to navigate a world of ideas that are increasingly unmitigated and available—everyone is tweeting, blogging, and broadcasting into the ether, so sorting through all the static is that much more important.
  • Consider who wrote the piece.

  • Figure out what the writer is saying—and what she isn’t saying.
  • When you’re considering the “what” of a piece of writing, you’ll have to consider what you know about the topic as well, which colors your ability to assess it.
  • Context is so important; you’ll need to consider it.
  • Looking into when means looking at the political and economic time frame of the argument, both on a national level and in the writer’s personal life.
  • What prompted the whole thing, anyway?
  • How did this piece of work get into your hands anyway? Was it intended for you?
  • You’re going to have to leave your emotions out of it, or at least be aware of them and separate them from the task of critical thinking.

  • By David Harley, Pierre-Marc Bureau and Andrew Lee Apple's customer-base has rejoined the rest of the user community on the firing line. This paper will compare the view from Apple and the community as a whole with the view from the anti-virus labs of the actual threat landscape.
  • By David Harley This 1997 paper reviews the shared history of viruses and the Mac, summarizes the 1997 threatscape, and considers possibilities and strategies for the future. It's been made available for historical interest because so many people asked about it at EICAR 2010. First published in Virus Bulletin 1997 Conference Proceedings.*
  • By Craig Johnston and David Harley This paper looks at the ethical, political and practical issues around the use of "policeware", when law enforcement and other legitimate agencies use "cybersurveillance" techniques based on software that resembles some forms of malware in its modus operandi.

Redesigning Education: Why Can't We Be in Kindergarten for Life? | Fast Company - 2 views

  • While listening to the teachers' presentation at my twins' school, I had a moment of clarity: The kindergarten classroom is the design studio.
  • The kindergarten classroom is the design studio. All of the learning activities that take place inside the kindergarten classroom are freakishly similar to the everyday environment of my design studio in the "real world."
  • Like the design studio, the kindergarten environment places human interaction above all else.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • In a kindergarten classroom, while there are walls with white boards or smart boards, the "front" of the room is indistinguishable. Every available wall and surface is an opportunity to display student work. The design allows students to explore many different ways of learning in the classroom--it's learner-centered space.
  • The learner-centered paradigm should extend beyond the kindergarten classroom.
  • Unfortunately, most educational institutions follow a model that creates an impersonal environment where adults, teaching, and authority are at the center.
  • For example, at the Henry Ford Academy: School for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, self-contained classrooms are replaced with clustered learning spaces.
  • Many schools and work environments are embracing the reality that we live in multidisciplinary global world. The challenges and opportunities that we face in the 21st century require creativity, innovation and a deeper understanding of the complexities of the global economy, politics and culture.

Politics beware!

  • At a time when citizens need jobs such proposals to raise taxes should be a non starter. Higher taxes are job killers. Pawlenty's record is not one of raising taxes which should bode well for him.

    I love how supporters of Reagan economics refuse to do what he did time and time again, raise tax's when we NEED to!
