Critical Thinking: What Is It, Anyway? - 1 views

  • 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.

      When it comes to Brainstorming fear is a major obstacle. Facilitators need to design brainstorming exercises so that fear is mitigated in individual participants - this is often accomplished by adding anonymity to the exercise - if groupware is available then groupware should be used - if a low tech approach is required then initial rounds of brainstorming can be done with participants individually brainstorming and then having a moderator capture all the ideas on charts or boards for future rounds and elaboration.

Perplexing ethical dilemmas of online marketing - iMediaConnection.com - 1 views

  • That is, agency-side audience networks are leveraging the targeting data in which pu
  • lishers have invested to target and segment audiences across the web.
  • Question 1: Who owns data?
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Question 2: Is it morally correct for agencies to be opaque with publishers and/or clients as to how they're leveraging data?
  • Question 3: Is it OK for agencies to both buy and sell inventory to the same advertiser?
  • There's that issue, plus the question posed by the arbitrage situation itself. What's the "acceptable" margin for ad inventory if an agency acts as both buyer and seller to an advertiser? Is that situation even morally permissible?
  • We all need to be thinking about these questions. And we need to think about it more deeply than simply drawing parallels to what happens in the traditional direct marketing business or by propping up imperfect analogies that don't apply in the digital world.

  • What 10 digitals tools should educators know about?
  • Here are some ways that I'm using RSS at my school and in my professional life to make things easier and to tie things together. 
  • Using this same idea, students have to write a reflection about their GCW Trips (Global Citizen's Week) that we went on last week. The trip leaders don't have all the student blog addresses and we want the students to own the reflection, we want it to become part of their learning/eporfolio here at ISB.

What is the law? - 3 views

  • One easy way to understand laws is to think about the rules of a game. All games have rules. They help solve arguments and make the game fun to watch and to play. But for that to happen, everyone playing the game must know the rules and obey them.

Hot Rods & Droids: A George Lucas Profile (Part 1) | Flickering Myth Movie Blog - 0 views

  • “I was as normal as you can get,” stated American filmmaker George Lucas when reflecting upon his childhood.
  • A major acquisition by the teenager fueled dreams of becoming a professional race car driver. “It was a very small Fiat, which I souped up.
  • “I loved working with film and I was pretty good at it. So I took the bit and ran with it. I was introduced to film editing – the whole concept of editing – and I think ultimately that film editing was where my real talent was. Still is, I guess.” Freiheit (1966) is a three minute production that stars Randal Kleiser as a student who tries to run across the Berlin border to freedom.
