Person centered planning is the fulcrum idea behind services to people with disabilities, and yet it is often misunderstood - to the point where sometimes people refer to it as "the perversion of person centeredness" - one way to make it meaningful is to break it down into elements and break those down to see what means what and what might be done to make those parts mean more. This is a version of a presentation that was given at TASH 2013 and at Cornell University as part of their Citizen Centred Leadership webinar series.

When it comes to the Web, a lot has changed over the past 10 years (and some things haven't). Does your website give users what they need, how they want to find it? Does it serve your mission and current goals? How have the trends toward interactivity, social media, and responsive design impacted your website? Do you have a content strategy and resources you need to keep your site up to date? We'll have fun taking a stroll down memory lane - playing "name that year" on site designs and looking at some awesome successes and a few wonderful failures.

The industry move towards wearables is all the rage and taking advantage of these new devices doesn’t have to mean learning a whole new platform. For example the Microsoft Band is a multi-function wearable device that works with your smart phone to help you track heart rate, steps, calorie burn, sleep quality and be productive with email and calendar alerts and more. While you can quickly and easily build an app for the Band in just a few minutes how can you be sure the back end is up to the scale you’d need to support potential massive growth if it were to take off? Enter the cloud and tools available that we can use to load test and explore the performance characteristics of the solution. In this session we’ll take a look at what’s possible and walk thru the scenario to see first hand how it is done.

Digital Citizenship through Self-Awareness
FutureCasting™ is a curriculum of “life skills” that enables individuals of all ages to take control of their digital identity and personal reputation, identify the value systems that influence choices, define personal and professional goals, and build influence in a global society.
The goals of FutureCasting™ are to:
1. Increase individuals’ self-awareness, engagement in learning, and achievement
2. Enable individuals to develop globally recognized digital identities
3. Prepare individuals to contribute positively to local, national, and global communities.
The FutureCasting™ framework provide the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to create a digitally responsible and influential online identity while serving numerous educational goals. For example, Millennials (individuals aged 10-25), have never known a life without computers and access to the Internet. However, just because Millennials are “digital natives” does not mean they know how to use technology responsibly or effectively leverage the ubiquitous information available online. FutureCasting™ enables them to learn the skills of digital citizenship: Being responsible producers and critical consumers of information on the Internet. Skills like conducting research online, developing a professional network, and creating a website are combined with critical self-examination to help users attain truly integrated success.
FutureCasting™ has the potential to benefit anyone who wants to increase their online presence, align their digital footprint with personal and professional goals, or learn the skills of socially responsible action. Students, ages 12-25, can use FutureCasting™ to create a digital portfolio that reflects the intersection of personal interests with academic productivity. Meanwhile adults entering the workforce can use FutureCasting™ to develop an online presence that highlights their unique talents; making their successes more accessible to future employers and putting them ahead of their competition.
In an era when information and opportunities are driven by access to information on the Internet, a tool like FutureCasting™ is what empowers people to leverage that information to catapult themselves into a future of their own design.
FutureCasting, a framework of “life skills” enables young people to connect who they are today with the person they will be in the future.

Leading Without Seeing: managing distributed teamsShane Pearlman
The rules are the same. Treat people well. Expect great things from them. Be human. The details though, they make all the difference. Managing the nuances of engagement and productivity with a couple thousand miles between you and your team is both science and art. My name is Shane. I have been running a fully distributed team of 20-40 North American creatives for the last 5 years. Our success has come from a cohesive set of technical and cultural systems: the right people, the right environment and the right tools.

In the year 2030, NASA intends to send humans to Mars (the red planet). Gifted students in our classrooms today are the scientists, engineers, pioneers, and innovators who will make that plan a reality, but they cannot accomplish this without motivation, determination and perseverance. These students must learn the skills that will enable them to take initiative, work autonomously, make decisions, and persevere in the face of obstacles to become the creative and independent producers that the future needs. Join us as we explore activities that support students in developing the strategies for awesomeness.

The Internet provides access to information and enables connection in ways that no generation before has ever experienced. While gifted students in our classrooms may have the intellectual maturity for Internet participation, they may lack the social and emotional maturity. How then do we help them develop the skills of digital citizenship while maintaining safe boundaries and limiting their access to the Internet? This session introduces teachers to FutureCasting and provides activities for participants that can be implemented immediately. Join us as we help students use technology to be productive, participate in an online community, and develop a digital presence!
The Internet has become the great equalizer of the 21st Century. Today, gifted students have access to information and networks of influence previously reserved for adults. With this access, comes great opportunity and great responsibility. Gifted students can pursue interests, showcase their abilities, and even advance their career before ever leaving middle school, but are they ready to launch their talent onto a global stage?
Attaining success requires resiliency in order to overcome challenges along the way. Yet many advanced learners expect to “get the right answer” on their first attempt and once faced with truly challenging situations, give up before trying. This session provides parents with strategies to support high potential youth as they engage in the struggles that lead to meaningful SUCCESS.
Serendipity, that unexpected but fortunate discovery or learning experience that happened accidentally, is often characterized by successful people as a “chance encounter” or a “lucky break”. In reality, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity (Roman Philosopher, Seneca), and gifted students in particular have the preparation, but may not have the skills to leverage technology to create opportunities. This session highlights how gifted students are uniquely qualified to leverage technology to achieve their goals, illustrates the strategies successful individuals use to make their own luck, and provides concrete examples and activities that can be applied in classrooms or at home to enable gifted students to manifest their potential for self-fulfillment and the betterment of society.

The usefulness of the information that exists
about you and how consistent that
information is with you you say you are and
what you claim to value

think of their current selves and
future selves as different people.
(Pronin & Ross, 2006; Wakslak et al., 2008)
83. Future Self
• Limited ability to imagine one’s
future self leads to opting for
immediate gratification.
(van Gelder, Hershfield, & Nordgren, 2013)
84. Seeking
Immediate Gratification
• Future consequences are not considered
• Respond reflexively rather than
intentionally and with control
• Negatively related to “joy” and “happiness”
85. • Living in the “here and now” is one
of the strongest correlates of
