Lunch n Learn with Possibility Thinking

Have you ever found a lunch you like and just keep going back for more?  I have, with this great video showcasing Ben Zander and The Art of Possibility (buckle up your seat belt…on second thought – don’t):

Much thanks to Conversation Agent, Valteria Maltoni for feeding me this great discussion.

Disqus Flagged & Flogged the Spam

I received a note from Disqus this morning, as they flagged a comment on an old post as spam.

NOTE: This message has been flagged as spam.  You may respond with "Delete" to delete this message or "Approve" to approve this message.  You may also respond with your response to automatically approve the post and post your response at the same time.

Bullseye! The comment was on a post from last year and was definitely spam.

I implemented Disqus commenting on the fly recently, but I’m excited about its potential. More to come soon as I catch up, but visit the Disqus tu-tour pages for more info.

Update: And check out how Disqus and Seesmic work together on video commenting below this post.

I’m at Panera U — All Day

The travel schedule has been a whirlwind (though nothing like globetrotter Drew), but I’m back home for awhile.

Today, I’m at Panera U all day. Stop by, we’re having a Manager’s Special:


You might find yourself on a video test:-)

Seesmic – New Tool in the Set

I’m trying out Seesmic video today. Seesmic is one of the latest tools I’m starting to use in the conversphere to engage and connect.

I’ve also been using FriendFeed (LOVE IT!), BrightKite, Twine, Disqus, and UStream (we live-streamed one of Angela’s workshops yesterday)

More to come soon. The globetrotting is slowing down next week.

The Death of Education or the Dawn of Learning

This video is circling around the ed-tech conversation space — but everyone should watch and learn from it (5 1/2 minutes!)

I’ve said for awhile, our kids aren’t living with "short" attention spans, but with "quick" attention spans.  Some classrooms are stagnating (boring!) the learning process by stubborn 20th century practices.  Some businesses are guilty of this too.  The first step towards change is taking the step. 


UPDATE (5/20)
: As of right now, the original uploiad of this video is unavailable in its original format. Here’s another link to Learning to Change on YouTube (submitted by a different user) or Learning to Change on TeacherTube

Here’s your first step:

Visual Literacy: Periodic Table of Visualization Methods

Great Table for Visualization Methods

Vizmethods

Funnel_3
Much like the Marketing Table we shared last fall, this visual literacy table is an interactive tool that could be used in many different ways, and at the minimum a brainstorming tool.

Click on the images to get to the VisualLiteracy.org site and give the table a go.

Lunch n Learn with Renee Hobbs

I witnessed a nutritious presentation the other day on Media Literacy by Renee Hobbs (Media Education Lab)

Pay special attention to the remote control slide (slide #3, think Signal V Noise, Infosumption) and more importantly, how to implement Media Literacy into your classroom or boardroom!
