With each theme, partners bring in an assignment and one employee. As a tribe, together with that employee, we are going to work with knowledge, feeling and ideas. We are then presenting a real working solution for the assignment/challenge the partner brought in. We present this in a pitch, together with a quote and working plan. When the partner accepts the plan the students will work it out, for real. So by working on real life assignments four times a year we connect and implement the learning experiences into the assignment/challenge. Next to this we try to inspire and coach the Knowmads on working on their own ideas and projects.

Fatal flaws in website censorship plan, says report - web - Technology - 0 views

Professor Landfeldt, one of Australia's leading telecommunications experts, says some of the fundamental flaws of the scheme raised in his report include: � All filtering systems will be easily circumvented using readily available software. � Censors maintaining the blacklist will never be able to keep up with the amount of new content published on the web every second. � Filters using real-time analysis of sites to determine whether content is inappropriate are not effective, capture wanted content, are easy to bypass and slow network speeds exponentially as accuracy increases. � Entire user-generated content sites such as YouTube and Wikipedia could be blocked over a single video or article. � Filters would be costly and difficult to implement for ISPs and put many smaller ISPs out of business. � While the communciations authority's blacklist would be withheld from internet users, all 700 ISPs would have access to it, so it could easily be leaked. � The filters would not censor content on peer-to-peer file sharing networks such as LimeWire, chat rooms, email and instant messaging; � ISPs and the Government could be legally liable for the scheme's failures, particularly as content providers have no right to appeal against being blocked unnecessarily.

"innovation is life blood of businesses. We need to celebrate those pioneers who can see what others don't, who are willing to invest their time and money where others don't dare to." Paul Papadimitriou How do we disrupt public education to imbibe a learning that allows for all possibilities and reward uniqueness of each rather than conformity of the many? Should we do away with rewards even? How? What disruptions are already mitigating this innovation engine in other fields?
