This document appears to be notes from a presentation given by Brian Housand on February 22, 2019 to the Catawba County Schools in Newton, NC. The presentation focuses on topics related to gifted education such as critical thinking, creativity, curiosity and collaboration. It provides definitions of nerds and geeks, discusses clickbait and evaluating online information. The document encourages developing curiosity through exploration of various websites and getting "stuck" can spark creativity. It concludes by promoting adapting to change and collaboration/improvisation.

Geek. Nerd. Dork. Dweeb. All terms that were once derogatory and served to
alienate and ridicule highly intelligent individuals who are passionate about
specific areas of interest. Yet, in 2014, these have become terms of empower-
ment to a great number of gifted students and a source of true pride. This keynote
session begins by examining the origin and evolution in the portrayal of stereotypes in popular culture while exploring the differences between each of these terms. From there, we will explore a collection of powerful online tools and resources for the geeks and nerds in your life. Come and GET YOUR GEEK ON!

Cultivating Curiosity through Questioning
Humans are naturally curious beings, but as Sir Ken Robinson suggests, schools may have unintentionally squashed out the creativity and inquisitive nature of many of students. While ubiquitous digital devices provide us with the opportunity to find the answer to almost any question, many students struggle to find accurate information online. Now more than ever, we must teach our students to be critical consumers of the information that they encounter. Together we will explore and construct technology resources designed to engage students’ curiosity and learn ways to compose better questions for application and synthesis.
Culture Feasts on Innovation: Here's What you Can Do About ItReuven Gorsht
You can have the best talent, best ideas, best processes, abundance of cash.
If your culture does not align, being successful with innovating starts looking as if it’s a matter of luck.
Este es un keynote que me encontré en el 2014 que trata puntos muy buenos sobre Innovation Culture o bien, Cultura de la Innovación que vale la pena revisar.
From an innovation session held in a club, early morning, for Media24 in Cape Town.
Everyone got field notebooks and my inescapable goading to use Evernote to capture cultural change and pain points, and a healthy dose of Tom Chi to get them prototyping.
A call to nerdery, niches and documenting their data.

Superheroes and the gifted often possess virtues like compassion, altruism, and a sense of justice. Hope for the future relies not on superheroes miraculously saving the day but instead on empowering today’s gifted kids to conquer the problems of tomorrow. This session compares gifted youth to superheroes and examines the type of support necessary for their own hero’s journey.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

98. Creativity is just
connecting things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995
When you ask creative people how they did
something, they feel a little guilty because they
didn’t really do it, they just saw something.
It seemed obvious to them after a while.
That’s because they were able to
connect experiences they’ve had and

124. Dear Moon,
I admire you so much. Your complete lack of water is
something that I can only aspire to. My humidity is rarely
lower than 5%. You force all visitors to adapt to you, just
like I do. My animals grow large ears, sleep under rocks,
and travel at night just to survive. Your barren and open
landscape is a true inspiration, especially the Lunar Maria –
once thought to be a sea, like my own Great Sand Sea.
Keep it dry and barren!
Yours,
The Sahara Desert
125. Dear Meteorite,
I want you to know that we were
meant to be together. I know that
you and I are from the same place,
although I was more successful on
crashing into Earth. But my love for
you is burning, literally, I’m on fire!
I’m entering the atmosphere and
I’m slowly burning up.
