Hervé Lambel Télécharger en PDF Pour une ré-oxygénation de l’économie française Agir sur la compétitivité par la suppression de la TVA interentreprises Dans un contexte économique de crise qui n’épargne personne et appelle nécessairement à l’équilibre budgétaire, nos entreprises, créatrices de richesses et d’emplois, seul et unique rempart contre la récession, en plus de souffrir des politiques de taxation, doivent également faire face à un problème croissant et de taille : une trésorerie insuffisante. En effet, rien que sur l’année 2012, les défaillances de ces dernières ont connu des taux supérieurs de 50% à ce qu’ils étaient avant la crise de 2008. Or il est inconcevable de fermer aujourd’hui les yeux sur l’hémorragie du tissu économique français, car des entreprises qui ne peuvent plus payer, sont des entreprises en faillite, soit autant d’emplois supprimés et de pouvoir d’achat sacrifié. Pourquoi la TVA interentreprises pèse inutilement sur la trésorerie des entreprises 1.
FilerFrog: add a slew of useful functions to your context menu FilerFrog is a free program that can install a wide array of useful tools into the Windows context menu, in the vein of such useful context-menu based apps as Lammer Context Menu and Freewaregenius favorite FileMenu Tools. It works with both 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows This program offers a wide range of commands, including many of the usual file management operations, but it also offers an interesting list of image manipulation functions (resizing, publishing lists of images to PDF), and a unique “desktop sorting” tool designed to organize the desktop.

Keep Your Desktop Neat and Tidy With These Built-in Organization Wallpapers I second that, Fences is an amazing program that honestly microsoft should start building into windows. For those of you who don't know what fences is, it is a program that runs and allows you to make areas on your desktop and label them, you can then throw as many icons as you want into those areas. The areas are scrollable so you can hide away many of your icons to get a cleaner look while still having access to everything. It also keeps all your icons organized when you change resolutions, so when you update your graphics driver you don't have to sort your desktop out anymore. Best of all the basic version is free. I third this. stardock fences is great. yup, first thing I thought of when I saw these wallpapers was Fences. Also, Dexpot is a great utility as well, if you like organizing what windows you have open so you're not constantly going back to the taskbar.

Mind mapping pour les exposés et l’apprentissage des leçons J’avais indiqué dans un billet précédent que nous travaillons l’apprentissage des leçons avec mes filles par une retranscription des notes de cours sous la forme de carte heuristiques (en fin de billet)… Ainsi l’un de mes usages du Mind Mapping et des cartes heuristiques est pédagogique ! J’ai commencé avec la plus grande, celle qui est en 6éme. Mais le p’tit bout de chou de CM1 a demandé elle aussi à bénéficier de l’emploi des cartes de mind mapping, pour apprendre principalement ses cours d’histoire. Elle apprend selon ses dires (mais je constate les effets positifs) bien mieux les dates de cette manière Le travail consiste à une réorganisation et à une hiérarchisation de l’information plus simple, sans se perdre dans les détails ! Autre usage que nous faisons des cartes heuristique à la maison au niveau éducatif : la préparation des exposés ! Pour éviter les copier-coller pur et simple, le travail de l’exposé que nous préparons (je dis nous car j’encadre leur travail WordPress:
WorkAwesome | Be More Productive at Work Content Curation: The Art of a Curated Post [Infographic] For content marketers wanting to economically increase content production, content curation is the optimal solution.

In fact, according to Curata’s study, best-in-class marketers use a content marketing mix of 65 percent created content and 25 percent curated content. But many people interested in content curation—and some who are already curating—may still have lingering questions about best practices. What should a curated post look like? How much of the original article should I include? To help answer some of these questions and outline the anatomy of curated piece of content, we created “The Art of a Curated Post.” 1. It’s vital to always craft a new headline to avoid competing with the original article in search engine results. Remember, even if a title worked well on the original post you’re curating (it got you to click, didn’t it?) 2. 3. 4. 5.

Focus on Form-ative Assessment A few months ago I wrote a post about the value of utilizing Google Forms in education and shared a super cool resource containing 80+ ways to incorporate them into the classroom. Well, I’m back again… With more reasons why you should become a fan of this edtech gem… Yep, this geeky girl love, loves this particular component of Google Apps for Education. Why? Because forms can be created quickly and easily for an unlimited amount of purposes: assessment, polls, surveys, questionnaires and so much more! That said, whether you are a forms believer or not, check out the interactive image shown below—one I developed with ThingLink for a professional development session I facilitated last week in my district. Be sure to hover over the image to reveal the really good stuff! And by the way—no, you are not seeing things. A full screen version of this image can be found here.
