Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
Content personalisation is becoming more prevalent. A site, it's content and/or it's products, change dynamically according to the specific needs of the user. SEO needs to ensure we do not fall behind of this trend.
Succession “Losers”: What Happens to Executives Passed Over for the CEO Job?
By David F. Larcker, Stephen A. Miles, and Brian Tayan
Stanford Closer Look Series
Overview:
Shareholders pay considerable attention to the choice of executive selected as the new CEO whenever a change in leadership takes place. However, without an inside look at the leading candidates to assume the CEO role, it is difficult for shareholders to tell whether the board has made the correct choice. In this Closer Look, we examine CEO succession events among the largest 100 companies over a ten-year period to determine what happens to the executives who were not selected (i.e., the “succession losers”) and how they perform relative to those who were selected (the “succession winners”).
We ask:
• Are the executives selected for the CEO role really better than those passed over?
• What are the implications for understanding the labor market for executive talent?
• Are differences in performance due to operating conditions or quality of available talent?
• Are boards better at identifying CEO talent than other research generally suggests?
Bloom’s Taxonomy Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an important.docxAASTHA76
Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy provides an important framework for teachers to use to focus on
higher order thinking. By providing a hierarchy of levels, this taxonomy can assist teachers
in designing performance tasks, crafting questions for conferring with students, and
providing feedback on student work
This resource is divided into different levels each with Keywords that exemplify the level
and questions that focus on that same critical thinking level. Questions for Critical
Thinking can be used in the classroom to develop all levels of thinking within the
cognitive domain. The results will be improved attention to detail, increased
comprehension and expanded problem solving skills. Use the keywords as guides to
structuring questions and tasks. Finish the Questions with content appropriate to the
learner. Assessment can be used to help guide culminating projects. The six levels are:
Level I Knowledge
Level II Comprehension
Level III Application
Level IV Analysis
Level V Synthesis
Level VI Evaluation
Blooms Level I: Knowledge
Exhibits memory of previously learned material by recalling fundamental facts, terms,
basic concepts and answers about the selection.
Keywords:
who, what, why, when, omit, where, which, choose, find, how, define, label, show, spell,
list, match, name, relate, tell, recall, select
Questions:
• What is…? • Can you select? • Where is…? • When did ____ happen?
• Who were the main…? • Which one…? • Why did…? • How would you describe…?
• When did…? • Can you recall…? • Who was…? • How would you explain…?
• How did ___happen…? • Can you list the three..? • How is…?
• How would you show…?
Assessment:
Match character names with pictures of the characters.
Match statements with the character who said them.
List the main characteristics of one of the main characters in a WANTED poster.
Arrange scrambled story pictures and/or scrambled story sentences in sequential order.
Recall details about the setting by creating a picture of where a part of the story took place.
Blooms Level II: Comprehension
Demonstrate understanding of facts and ideas by organizing, comparing, translating,
interpreting, giving descriptors and stating main ideas.
Keywords: compare, contrast, demonstrate, interpret, explain, extend, illustrate, infer,
outline, relate, rephrase, translate, summarize, show, classify
Questions:
• How would you classify the type of…? • How would you compare…? contrast…?

7. Instructions for use
• Good to use with our STEPS programme at the S=
Set Scene stage (See Thinking Resources)
• This is based on but changes Anderson’s revised
taxonomy with evaluation becoming- evaluating and
synthesis becoming creating.. creating moving to
Level 6 as being a higher level than evaluating.
• Cut the sheets and photocopy and laminate for wall.
• Colour printer if you want the hats colour or.. select
the hats and choose from the Format picture menu
(picture toolbar) greyscale or black/white.. you can
then colour them by hand!
• The main 6 thinking hats that you may use at each
level are suggested
• This resource is from http://www.in2edu.com Feel
free to copy within school but please do not pass on
to other schools in digital form
Some Tips: Help pupils to break down a topic into subtopics, and to know enough about
each sub-topic to allow them to work out what they might need to know and then make up
questions. Children need some background information befoe they can make good
questions. This will involve exposure and scaffolding at first to good models. Don’t be
afraid to create questions alongside pupils and then give them a go on their own.
Get pupils to create some simple fact questions before trying more complex ones.
Finally, all students need to know that in applying questions they are like a detective
hunting for clues and building evidence. Answers don't leap out of books. Even less do they
leap out of the information jungle called, appropriately, the Web. 'Answers' are constructed
by mixing and matching, synthesising evidence from different sources, applying higher
level thinking skills and constructing knowledge from information. Complex questions
must be broken down and the factual 'bits' asked first.
