This document outlines a challenge-based learning example for teaching students about energy conservation. It presents the big idea of energy conservation and essential questions for students to consider. The challenge asks students to create a plan to more efficiently use energy resources at home or school. The document provides guiding questions, activities, and resources for students to research energy usage and alternative energy sources. It presents a sample solution of five easy ways to save energy every day. Finally, it discusses assessing student projects and sharing them through online tools.
ATMTL23 - Remettre l'humain au coeur de l'agilité avec le Mind Mapping par Re...Agile Montréal
Atelier d'initiation au Mind Mapping. Nous allons brainstormer, analyser et presenter autour de ce que cela prend de remettre l'humain au coeur de l'agilite. A la fin de l'atelier, les participants auront acquis un savoir-faire utile pour reussir leurs projets et augmenter leur efficacite.
Équipe agile et performante : Des processus et des outils pour les individus ...Christophe Morin
Pour la plupart d’entre nous, le premier principe de l’agilité (Les individus et leurs interactions, plus que les processus et les outils) est une conviction profonde pour ne pas dire plus… (une philosophie quotidienne de travail ?).
Mais lorsque nous accompagnons des managers et leurs équipes pour développer l’agilité et l’humain au cœur de leur entreprise, une question se pose rapidement : « Développer l’humain, très bien, mais concrètement, comment on fait ? Il n’y aurait pas des processus ou des outils… ? ».
Effectivement, il y en a… et c’est ce que je vous propose de présenter dans cette conférence.
Nous prendrons l’exemple des personas Anthony, Aurélie et Julie, managers des équipes technique, commerce et marketing d’une SSII inspirée d’un cas réel.
Leur mode de management est différent, la maturité de leur équipe est différente, leurs enjeux également… Un très bon exemple pour présenter quelques principes fondamentaux puis différents outils et processus à mettre en œuvre pour développer l’agilité et évoluer vers une équipe performante.
Cette conférence s’adresse aux managers, chefs de projet, coachs, scrum masters mais aussi à toute personne intéressée par la gestion des équipes. Chaque participant pourra s’interroger sur son mode de management/relationnel, mieux comprendre le stade de développement des équipes et repartir (c’est en tout cas l’objectif de l’intervenant !) avec quelques idées à mettre en application au plus vite dans son équipe.

Call to Action: Challenge Based Learning for the Global ClassroomKatie Morrow
Learn how Challenge Based Learning can provide the inspiration and just the right amount of structure for students and teachers to collaboratively engage in global challenges and create actionable solutions. See how CBL is easier for teachers and makes learning even more engaging for students. An added benefit of Challenge Based Learning is how technology is leveraged throughout the process in meaningful ways. Examples of CBL projects with a global focus will be shared including ongoing challenges in which classrooms can join in immediately!
Crop Cardboard Freestanding Unit (FSU) in Coles - Case Study by Gush CreativeAndrew Fox
Gush Creative has been working closely with Devcos International, having helped design and produce a number of POS displays for their Savvy and Models Prefer brands in Priceline. In September this year, Devcos International launched Crop, a specific range of naturally derived skincare and cosmetic products. Gush was given the opportunity to bring to life the Crop temporary shelf display and freestanding unit (FSU) which was displayed in Coles Australia wide from September to October 2015.
We have put together this case study exploring the process involved with getting the FSU into Coles. We take a collaborative approach!
Onboarding Designed to Engage and Delight Customers by Dan Fisher and Gerry G...Engage
One of the keys to engaging customers effectively is to onboard and train your new hires quickly and effectively. Systematically well-trained employees who have fully bought in are enabled to engage and delight customers, helping your business grow. In this session with Dan Fisher and Gerry Gadoury, learn what common mistakes to avoid and best practices to implement to effectively hire, onboard, and train your new hires.
Beautiful design activates the pleasure receptors in our brain. Smart user experience shapes human behavior. Elegant strategy creates a perfect marriage between the two.
As technology and data analytics evolve, we gain richer and deeper insight into how we do what we do. The first iteration of this involves understanding basic human action: did the design and the placement of the button encourage people to click? Did they click more often if it was moved it from left to right? Then came a deeper understanding of not only what was done, but who did it. Integration through Facebook and other social profiles created rich demographic-driven insight into who was doing what in response to interface in design. Now we find ourselves on the edge of a third wave, driven by geo location, wearable technology and advances in human biology, among other things.
We are now at a new frontier where the conversation is shifting from how we change behavior to how we can actually change the way that people process the world around them. The question then becomes how do artists, designers and engineers use this shift to create products that change the way people see and respond to the world around them.
Sarah Hall, founder and CEO of Harley & Co, will discuss how we can use things like GRIT, the Halo Effect, pattern recognition, the Availability Heuristic and more to drive the way we create. If you’ve ever wanted to leverage human biology and cognition to your advantage in design and creativity, join us.

Presented at Southwest Workshop Days in Durango CO October 2009: Sustainability, or going green, is more than a buzz word but the way we must all embrace the future to meet the triple bottom line: equity, the economy and the environment. Libraries are meant to be the center of their schools, campuses, and communities drawing together diverse entities & disciplines, acting as catalysts for exploration and as models for their community. This session will explore the politics, behaviors and partnerships required for libraries to influence, educate and model the idea of going green. Some tips on how to get started on going green will also be shared and discussed
