Arianna Huffington: GPS for the Soul: A Killer App for Better Living - 0 views

Blog post by Arianna Huffington, 4/16/12 on GPS for the Soul "The Internet and the rise of social media have, of course, given us amazing tools to connect, and to effect change in ways large and small. At the same time, there's a snake lurking in this cyber Garden of Eden. Our 24/7 connection to the digital world often disconnects us from the real world around us -- from our physical surroundings, from our loved ones, and especially from ourselves. We see the effects of this in every aspect of our lives. Writing in the Harvard Business Review, Ndubuisi Ekekwe, founder of the non-profit African Institution of Technology, notes how over-connectedness is actually bad for the bottom line. "We're also jeopardizing long-term productivity by eliminating predictable time off that ensures balance in our lives," he writes. Ekekwe also points to Professor Leslie Perlow, author of the forthcoming Sleeping with Your Smartphone: How to Break the 24/7 Habit and Change the Way You Work. Perlow presents research showing how deliberately disconnecting from their digital devices led to people feeling more satisfied in their jobs and their lives."

love slide 18 on digital literacy by creating, curating, accessing, and selecting capabilities. Also like slides 46 & 47 on consulting, speaking, collaborating, and learning with the world. Also like slide 50 on global mindset. The series on the Global Educator profile starting at slide 51 is well done, too. (52-explorer attitude; 53-global connectedness; 54-global imagination) Slideshare by Sylvia Tolisano on the NOW Literacies through the Lens of Sharing. Program has 65 slides.

By strengthening and connecting communities, our research was able to demonstrate (in a small cohort) that a wellbeing dividend from social connectedness might mitigate against mental and physical ill health in the longer term – supporting the case for investing in efforts to make communities more socially connected.
