  •  
    from Forbes.com, Leadership: Jeanne Meister reports that the average worker today stays at each of his or her jobs for 4.4 years, millennials for less than 3 years, and Gen Y for less than 2. The changing landscape of the economy as well as the desire for younger generations to have challenging, fulfilling work results in this job-hopping. For Gen Y, it is a necessity as they are hard pressed to find consistent, full time work any other way.

The table napkin test - Cognitive Edge - 1 views

  • One of the golden rules of sense-making is that any framework or model that can’t be drawn on a table napkin from memory has little utility. The reason for this is pretty clear, if people can use something without the need for prompts or guides then there are more likely to use it and as importantly adapt it. Models with multiple aspects, more than five aspects (its a memory limit guys live with it) or which require esoteric knowledge are inherently dependency models.
  • So apply the table napkin test before you take up any new method, model or framework

How Curiosity Leads to Creativity -- Science of Us - 0 views

  • We live in a culture that very much fetishizes passion and certainty. I think sometimes people lose their way in the creative path because they’re being told to follow their passion. It can be a really cruel piece of advice
  • Forget about the notion of passion, and give your attention to your curiosity. Passion burns hot and fast, which means it can come and go
  • I have followed things in my life that barely had a pulse, but it was the only thing that was there that day
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • But part of that path, of leading a creative life, is to believe that there’s a reason that you’re into this thing, whatever it is.
  • Every time I hear someone talk about discipline all I see is the scratch marks on the walls they left with their fingernails. All that anxiety. You’ve got to take it easy on yourself. You’re doing an inherently weird thing. You’re investing time and money into making something that nobody asked you to do. It’s inherently a wacky thing to do. You’re going to have strange feelings, especially about the uselessness of it all. But then you think, I’m going to stay with it, because it’s more interesting than anything else.

It's Time to Review Your Adjunct Employment Policies - Commentary - The Chronicle of Hi... - 0 views

  • Also swelling is the number of adjuncts. They now make up 50 to 75 percent of those teaching in higher education. Why colleges rely so much on adjuncts has been discussed thoughtfully and at length elsewhere; chief among the reasons are that they are not as expensive as tenure-track professors, their scheduling can more easily align with the needs of the college, and firing them is not fraught with the same peril as firing full-time faculty members. It should hardly come as a surprise that all of the factors that make adjuncts attractive to administrators make them equally attractive to union organizers. For example, at Washington University in St. Louis, where adjuncts voted 138 to 111 in favor of organizing, the core issues were low wages, lack of benefits, and lack of job security.

7 Important Reasons to Unplug and Find Space - 0 views

  • 1. Powering-down helps remove unhealthy feelings of jealousy, envy, and loneliness.
  • 3. Solitude is harder to find in an always-connected world.
  • 4. Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • But no matter how much I interact with others through the miracle of technology, there is something entirely unique and fantastic about meeting face-to-face. The experience of looking another person in the eye without the filter of a screen changes everything. Each time, I am reminded that life’s most fulfilling relationships are the ones in the world right in front of me. And spending too much time looking away from them does a great disadvantage to my soul and theirs.
  • Take one extended break on a regular basis. I have found great value in choosing 40 days each year to power-down unnecessary apps (leaving only phone and text privileges on my phone). And I have completed the exercise each of the last two years. It has taught me about technology, relationships, and myself. Whether it be for one weekend, one week, or 40 days, there is great value in taking an intentional extended break from technology. Pick something. And get started right away. Your life is waiting.

What's a Good Faith Effort? - 0 views

  • One of the reasons I wanted to post on this topic was that my thinking about the grading process has been fuzzy, and I knew that the effort required to get a post together would help clarify my thinking. Students, on the other hand, see learning as good when it happens easily, without any struggle.

9 Tips To Apply Adult Learning Theory to eLearning - eLearning Industry - 0 views

  • While one adult learner may be well versed on how to search for resources online, another may have very little experience using the Internet.
  • Survey your audience beforehand to determine any technical knowledge limitations they may have, as well as to assess their education levels.
  • As we get older, we tend to gravitate more toward learning experiences that offer some sort of social development benefit.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Create activities that encourage adult learners to use sites like LinkedIn and Google Plus as invaluable tools. This can help them to not only build their social network, but collaborate with those who share the same interests.
  • However, mature learners prefer to engage in eLearning experiences that help them to solve problems they encounter on a regular basis (in the here-and-now, rather than the future).
  • Motivation is key with adult learners. As such, you will need to motivate them to learn by offering them a reason for every eLearning activity, assessment, or eLearning module they'll need to complete.
