Busy Is a Sickness | Scott Dannemiller - 1 views

To extend Friday's conversation even further . . . "The second type of busyness also results in health problems, but it is a sickness we bring on ourselves. Like voluntarily licking the door handle of a preschool bathroom or having a sweaty picnic in the Ball Pit at Chuck E. Cheese's. It's busyness we control. Self-created stress. Ever since my conversation a month ago, I realized that my busyness is this second type. Busyness we control. In fact, many times I create rush and worry where none exists. Any typical morning, you can find me riding my kids like a couple of three-dollar mules in a sea of marbles, begging them to move faster." h/t D'Arcy Norman

A wave of change aims to produce young doctors who are better prepared to meet the demands of the nation's changing health-care system - using team based learning, more interactive and hands-on learning opportunities, etc. Great quote from the article: "We've replaced 'the sage on the stage' with 'the guide on the side,' "

The developers who wrote Drupal and Wordpress, two important pieces of blogging software, both recently expressed anxiety over the open web’s future. Since so many of these social networks are operated by algorithms, whose machinations are proprietary knowledge, they worry that people are losing any control over what they see when they log on. The once-polyphonic blogosphere, they say, will turn into the web of mass-manufactured schlock.

For all the talk of their radical openness, blogs had mostly been the domain of those with hosting space, programming experience, and the time to write them

The thumbnail came out too small to read on my computer. This is an excerpt from a white paper about technology in health profession education that speaks to the need for faculty development opportunities in the effective use of educational technologies. Thank you ALT lab and OLE for your work to meet this need!

When a new generation of scholars more familiar with the technology comes along, different results often appear — and that's what is happening with gaming, he said.

Interesting. My first thought: if music can throw off one's moral compass, what does that mean for listening to music while driving.

WebQuest - 0 views

A Webquest is an online activity planned for the student to explore/investigate/synthesize multiple sources of information. Students are provided with a scenario or problem, and are given links to websites where they have to search for information to answer questions or complete a task. This is a great activity for online classes. I have used a webquest in an online course about veteran health care. The students were given a scenario about a homeless veteran they cared for in a clinic setting in their personal hometown. They had to research homelessness, the services offered in their home town, and the disease processes of their veteran. They had to develop either a speech to present the issue at a town hall meeting, develop a proposal to supply a service that was needed by the veteran or write an op-ed piece for their hometown newspaper.
How to Think Like a Maker: Values Your Company Should be Adopting | WIRED - 3 views
-
Embrace imperfection. Makers are more interested in learning and experimenting rather than perfection and that's OK. They try (and fail) often to perfect their projects and to make lots of small bets which eventually lead them to THE BIG IDEA. Makers do it for the fun first and iterate and refine as they go.
Love the process. A focus on trusting the process rather than outcome is essential to the Maker mentality. Creativity and making is an ongoing rhythm, a lifestyle which is more a way of being than a hobby or isolated event. -
Other thoughts on this interesting link. Writing a grant focused on the iterative process of improving health care this is exactly what the funders are looking for. How to set up teams (with the 'right' mix of individuals) that are working in an environment where they can fail (without hurting anybody) and improve processes both for the team and the rest of the organization. The later is much harder - how to disseminate good processes that others can then improve upon in complex organizations. But yes the goal is to always work on the process improvement (the makers mentality as it is called in this piece).
