  • a clique is merely a close group of friends or coworkers with similar interests and goals who may be seen by outsiders as exclusive. Whether they are or aren't depends on the group and how they treat those who are not currently members.

    "Unchecked cliques chip away at the productivity of an organization, and stifle organizational growth. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, these groups create tension, pollute the work environment, destroy trust, and sometimes even drive good workers out of the job. I have never seen the contaminating of the workplace a managerial goal."

    Bringing iPods into the classroom is a great way to give students access to learning tools. However, there are so many things to keep in mind to make the iPods work smoothly in the classroom. While my list of dos and don'ts is for iPod touch, much of the same advice can be given for using iPad, iPod classic, and iPod nano in classrooms. The list is for large or small class sets of iPods

    Asking "who would take my place" gives you all the information you need to start the more detailed aspects of succession planning, and is a question you should ask at least quarterly of your key personnel to ensure that you will not be left in a dangerous position should one of them suddenly depart due to injury, scandal, buses driven by aliens, or anything in between.

    You can troubleshoot some problems by knowing what to listen for: samples of various 56k handshakes are presented below. All newer V.90 firmware includes a distinctive DIL (digital impairment learning) sequence: if you don't hear it, your modem doesn't have later firmware, or you're not attempting a V.90 connection. If you get a 'double handshake', 56k has been attempted and failed. If you leave the modem speaker on during a connection, you'll be able to hear retrains, speedshifts, and null speedshifts.

  • Microsoft’s tablet troubles are indicative of the larger problems that are haunting today’s Microsoft — similar teams competing for resources, minimal collaboration between similar projects, and not enough vision from the top to get everyone pushing in the same direction

  • If adopting 'best practice' is fraught with difficulties, and 'good practice' often noted but ignored, perhaps it is useful instead to look at 'worst practice'.  The good news is that, in the area of ICT use in education, there appears to be a good deal of agreement about what this is! Here's a list of some of what I consider to be the preeminent 'worst practices' related to the large scale use of ICTs in education in developing countries, based on first hand observation over the past dozen or so years.
