In addition, this course is not conducted in a single place or environment. This type of course is called a ‘connectivist' course and is based on four major types of activity: 1. We will give you access to a wide variety of things to read, watch or play with. Every day you will receive an edition of ‘The Daily', which will highlight some of this content. You are NOT expected to read and watch everything. 2. Once you've read or watched or listened to some content, your next step is to keep track of that somewhere. Here are some suggestions: 3.

Yes, weekend! Низкоуровневое планирование. Получить эту фотографию в полном формате. — АПЧХИ АПЧХИ, — отзываются эхом американские города и поселки.— БУДЬТЕ ЗДОРОВЫ БУДЬТЕ ЗДОРОВЫ. «Идеальный слуга», Уильям Берроуз Здесь в Окленде в городской библиотеке распродают старые книги. Когда-то давно, сидя в академгородковской хрущёвке по улице Академической я насмотрелся на фотографии из холмистого Сан-Франциско, красного Большого Каньона, хвойные леса реднекского Вайоминга, небоскрёбы заснеженного Нью-Йорка. Английский язык я учил по сериалам «Секс в большом городе», «Секретные материалы» и, конечно же — «Друзья» Десять сезонов по двадцать серий в каждом — три раза подряд. Может быть для кого-то это станет новостью, но переезд и закрепление в «Кивиляндии» — часть многолетнего плана по выбору места для жизни. Впрочем, не обойтись без ложки дёгтя. Двадцатилетнего паренька остановил полицейский, попросил выйти из машины. Про присущую любому полярному государству старой формации борьбу с невидимым врагом я уж и не буду начинать.
10 TED Talks for Entrepreneurs ? The Educated Entrepreneur's Blog A fellow entrepreneur gave me a slight nudge today that motivated me to post today’s blog. I think you will certainly find value in it as it incorporates some of the best minds of the 21st century. Remember….. The secret to learning as an entrepreneur is to mix equal parts of inspiration and perspiration. Hard work without a vision is futile, while a great idea without execution is similarly worthless. In these TED talks, you’ll find the inspiration you need and the know-how to get it done. Seth Godin on Standing Out: What makes you so special? Like this: Like Loading...
100 Websites You Should Know and Use In the spring of 2007, Julius Wiedemann, editor in charge at Taschen GmbH, gave a legendary TED University talk: an ultra-fast-moving ride through the “100 websites you should know and use.” Six years later, it remains one of the most viewed TED blog posts ever. Time for an update? We think so. Below, the 2013 edition of the 100 websites to put on your radar and in your browser. To see the original list, click here. And now, the original list from 2007, created by Julius Wiedemann, editor in charge at Taschen GmbH.
18 Things Highly Creative People Do Differently Creativity works in mysterious and often paradoxical ways. Creative thinking is a stable, defining characteristic in some personalities, but it may also change based on situation and context. Inspiration and ideas often arise seemingly out of nowhere and then fail to show up when we most need them, and creative thinking requires complex cognition yet is completely distinct from the thinking process. Neuroscience paints a complicated picture of creativity. And psychologically speaking, creative personality types are difficult to pin down, largely because they're complex, paradoxical and tend to avoid habit or routine. "It's actually hard for creative people to know themselves because the creative self is more complex than the non-creative self," Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist at New York University who has spent years researching creativity, told The Huffington Post. They daydream. According to Kaufman and psychologist Rebecca L. They observe everything. They take time for solitude.
It's Good Reader Boy! 3:30 Weekdays... I’ve wanted to come up with a clever way for students to remember their thinking for reading strategies. A list just seems too boring. One thing I’ve learned in BrainSMART is to connect information to parts of the body to make it more memorable. So I came up with this Good Reader Boy poster! The poster connects like this: Head: Think. Eyes: Infer. Nose: Importance . Mouth: Questions. Heart: Visualize. Stomach: Schema. Waist: Purpose. Hands: Synthesize. Knees: Monitor Comprehension. Feet: Text Structure. Is the little fella a little…um…disproportionate?

25 TED Talks that will change how you see the world Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” If this sounds like a philosophy you can relate to, then you’ll love TED talks. Their aim is simple: To inspire ideas and change attitudes around the world. 1. Hailed as the greatest pickpocket in the world, Apollo Robbins studies the quirks of human behavior as he steals your watch. 2. Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. 3. Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. 4. In this fun, 3-min performance from the World Science Festival, musician Bobby McFerrin uses the pentatonic scale to reveal one surprising result of the way our brains are wired. 5. Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. 6. 7. 8. You’ve never seen data presented like this. 9. 10. 11. 12.
What, Me Biased? Our False Sense of Fairness and Impartiality New research finds we retain our unwarranted faith in our capacity to be objective, even in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary. Pretty much all of us are prone to “bias blindness.” We can easily spot prejudice in others, but we’re oblivious to our own, insisting on our impartiality in spite of any and all evidence to the contrary. Newly published research suggests this problem is actually worse than we thought. It finds that even when people use an evaluation strategy they concede is biased, they continue to insist their judgments are objective. “Recognizing one’s bias is a critical first step in trying to correct for it,” writes a research team led by Emily Pronin and Katherine Hansen of Princeton University. “Even when people acknowledge that what they are about to do is biased, they still are inclined to see their resulting decisions as objective.” The students who saw these names conceded that the format lent itself to bias. So what’s the answer here?

Пейте, дети, М+ At Raven, we experiment a lot. We consider our projects as our own version of skunkworks. Sometimes the experiments are driven by mere curiosity, while others are meant to see how far we can push the boundaries of a service. When we first created the kl.am URL shortener, we did it to solve a problem. Campaign variables are great, because you can assign a source, medium, and name, like Twitter and/or Social Media Campaign. So campaign variables is the main reason we built kl.am, period. Several months after we debuted an SEO friendly URL shortener that supported campaign variables, many existing and new shorteners added them to their service. With the mass support of campaign variables, it wasn’t necessary for us to keep kl.am running. Spammers use of kl.am became epic. We appreciate everyone who properly used kl.am in their campaigns and on a daily basis.
My Advice for Starting a Business By Leo Babauta Recently I encouraged my 13-year-old daughter Maia to start a vegan cupcake business, and it’s so exciting to watch her get started. As I talked to her about starting, she had some worries: She didn’t know how.She didn’t know what kind of business to create.She was worried she’d fail. Do any of those sound familiar? Worry about not knowing what to do, how to do it, and whether you’ll fail … these stop so many people from starting. I’ve launched numerous ventures, from ebooks to courses to my Sea Change membership program and more. Today, I’d like to share the lessons I’ve learned about starting a business, in hopes of encouraging you to get started making something you love. Look for opportunities. Get started, my friends!
