The Smartphone Marketplace and Reason-Based Choice Apple's new iPhone 4S came out this week. For a lot of people, that means it's finally time to stop delaying and get a new phone. But the new iPhone is underwhelming. So which phone to choose? If you go into an AT&T store, or check on Verizon's website, you'll find yourself faced with two levels of choices. You have to choose a specific phone, but you also have to choose between categories: iPhone or Android? In the iPhone category, there's just one option: The iPhone. We usually think of more choice as being better. The reason it's different is a phenomenon called reason-based choice . If people were rational, the root beer should be chosen less, because a third good option is on the table. Why? Reason-based choice may be helping the iPhone. Getting a good deal, and making a good choice, is an intrinsic part of the value of any transaction, but one that's not captured by simple economic models.
7 Useful YouTube Channels for Science Students and Teachers Last month I posted a list of useful YouTube channels for history teachers and students. That list proved to be popular so I thought I'd follow-up with a list of useful YouTube channels, not named Khan Academy, for science teachers and students. The Periodic Table of Videos is a YouTube channel produced by The University of Nottingham. One of the more useful playlists in the channel is The Elements. I covered this a couple of weeks ago, but it's worth mentioning again. Science/Math Concepts with Mr. Bright Storm is a company that I've covered before when writing about online mathematics help. NASA has a few different YouTube channels, but the one that has the most universal utility for teachers and students is NASA eClips. The Open University another resource that I've previously written about in other contexts. Do you have a favorite YouTube channel that should be added to this list?
Psychology : Centre for Social Sciences : Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences : Athabasca University A Quick Course in Creativity by Paul McNeese This quick course in creativity is designed to give you a platform to stand on as we look at the various ways you can handle home, social and workplace situations, job-search details and career-path decisions. Let's examine what creativity might look like. Here are some of the ways in which creativity expresses itself. Perhaps the creative idea is one that mixes and matches items or ideas that haven't been combined in just this way before. A wonderful example of this comes from Anita Roddick, who founded the Body Shop, a chain of personal care products and stores. Or, perhaps the same item could be used in a different way. Perhaps you can take a new approach that works. Finally, you might use your creative powers to develop special mastery in areas that can contribute to workplace effectiveness. OK, now it's time to examine the process of creativity itself. First, there's PREPARATION. Now let's look at the ten keys to creativity. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Color Psychology by David Johnson Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. It is ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Colors often have different meanings in various cultures. Black Black is the color of authority and power. White Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. Red The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Blue The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. Green Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. Yellow Cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. Purple The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. Brown Solid, reliable brown is the color of earth and is abundant in nature. Colors of the Flag In the U.S. flag, white stands for purity and innocence. Food for Thought While blue is one of the most popular colors it is one of the least appetizing.

The 20 Greatest Motivational Quotes Of All Time I was playing about on Twitter the other day when I noticed an exchange about Life Coaching between two people I vaguely know. As you can imagine I had to have my say and I was told by the person in question that they managed to learn all they needed to learn about self development from reading blogs and furthermore nobody needed to hire a Life Coach. This exchange had me thinking for the millionth time, “There is no how it is, only how it is for you” It seems shameless to quote my own quote, but it is really at the core of what I do and also what I believe. 1. Apparently it’s statesmanlike to stand firm and not change your mind. 2. 3.
American Psychological Association (APA) Little Words with Absolutely Huge Meaning - Use Them As children many of us hyped the statement, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Clearly, it doesn’t take long to realize that words have far more weight than we want to realize.
