The document discusses the transition of the Northwest College Review from a printed publication to digital formats. It summarizes the challenges faced in moving to an iPad EPUB publication for national distribution through the iBook Store. This proved difficult and they ended up with both an EPUB and Flash version to overcome limitations of each format. The document considers pros and cons of each digital format and notes new opportunities for publishing faculty works as open educational resources going forward.
The document discusses how Web 2.0 technologies can reshape classroom instruction through advanced communication and collaboration. It defines Web 2.0 as technologies that make creating and sharing content as easy as driving a car. Examples of Web 2.0 tools that can be integrated into instruction include social networking, messaging, bookmarking, annotation, authoring wikis, publishing blogs, and sharing photos and videos. The document provides three examples of how digital storytelling, Flickr for art history, and Wikipedia for term papers can implement Web 2.0 pedagogy.
Ripple in the Pond: The New Media Seminar at NWChaymest
The document summarizes the impact and outcomes of the New Media Seminar at Northwest College. It discusses how the seminar engaged innovators and leveraged collective intelligence through knowledge sharing. As a direct result of the seminar, the NWC Tech Council was formed. Additionally, seminar graduates participated in Apple's Challenge-Based Learning Project and the New Media Consortium's Learning Analytics Workshop. In total, 23 new perspectives were gained from the seminar.
The document outlines a framework called EACOS for reinventing education through the use of technology. EACOS stands for Ends, Augment, Creativity, Opportunities, and Systemic and provides a model for bootstrapping pedagogical innovation through a teaching incubator that uses rapid prototyping, frequent iteration, data collection, and collaboration. The overall goal of EACOS and the teaching incubator is to take a systemic approach to addressing "wicked problems" in education and scaling classroom innovations throughout institutions.
This document discusses achieving agency in the changing technology ecosystem of education. It argues that technology is a means, not an end, and that the ends of education should drive technological adoption. Three approaches are outlined: augmenting human intellect, the SAMR model of technology integration, and considering technology within an ecosystem. The EACOS model is proposed to achieve teaching agency by focusing on ends, augmenting teaching with technology, engaging in creative problem-solving, pursuing opportunities, and taking a systemic approach. Educators are encouraged to let the outside world drive strategies rather than technology alone.
State legislatures are responsible for redistricting congressional districts in a way that reduces competition and protects incumbents. This has led to fewer swing districts over time where election outcomes are more predictable based on political party. While redistricting does not have a huge impact on election outcomes compared to incumbency, it disincentivizes political debate and compromise by making most districts non-competitive between parties.

The document discusses how to build a career in operations by developing an operational mentality. It emphasizes that operations is not just a separate role but should be integrated into all roles, and developing an understanding of how systems will be operated from the beginning leads to building more robust systems. Treating operations as a craft and pursuing excellence through experience, discipline, and sharing knowledge with peers is key to success.
This document discusses how schools can better connect with digital natives by embracing social media. It notes that conventional forms of communication like email and SMS are declining among youth, while online social networks and groups are growing in importance. The document advocates that schools fully engage with social media like having active Twitter and Facebook presences to better develop and market themselves to current and prospective students. It provides examples of some schools that have successfully blended various social media platforms into their operations.
The document discusses the concept of a "tech-nowist" as someone who embraces change, experiments with new technologies, and leverages them for competitive advantage. It outlines a 4-step process for being a tech-nowist: understand available technology, experiment with it, learn from experiments, and leverage learnings. The rest of the document discusses forces driving change like the accelerating rate of technological growth and the rise of a new digital generation. It emphasizes the need for companies and leaders to think differently, inspire innovation, and prepare for an unpredictable future.
The document appears to be notes from a presentation on social media and the internet. It discusses topics like the rise of user-generated content sites like YouTube and Tudou, the growth of internet-connected TVs, and the power of online video. It also covers Google AdWords, new companies like Yubby that allow creating custom video channels, and the increasing number of daily YouTube video uploads.
The document is a slide presentation about technology and its impact on advertising, media, and creativity. The presenter, Faris Yakob, is introducing the topic of his talk, which is called "Stuff That Doesn't Work Yet." He explains that new technologies have brought fundamental changes and that his ideas are inspired by others, though adapted and expanded upon. He hints that he will make a point about using available space for communication.
