If your school uses Google accounts, listen up. YouTube For Schools has just launched and it's an easy way for schools to manage YouTube access. It lets school administrators have a more granular way to oversee the type of content viewed in school. A typical way it'll be used is letting admins and teachers log in to watch any video while students are limited to only YouTube EDU videos.

In a presentation given to us by Pieter Spinder, the tribe-cheerleader himself, he describes his vision of what leadership could mean in the 21st Century:
Leadership qualities that he firmly believes are integral to be a successful leader both for yourself and the world include: humility and integrity.
“If you lose your integrity, you lose everything.”
the courage to fail and learn from it is essential to being a successful risk-taker.
The 21st Century leader can coach teams in collaboration, consensus building, and conflict resolution.
“If you are passionate about something, that’s where you will lead.”
Further qualities Spinder addresses include magnanimity and openness.
“A leader must have vision, must engender respect, be determined and honest, must be able to bind people and analyze, inspire and motivate, must be able to listen but take decisions. A certain degree of charisma is also desired. It’s a combination of vision and perseverance on one hand, and modesty and openness on the other. “
