The New Sustainable Economy and You
Slides for my talk about three things:
1.) The state of our current economy and the opportunity to build a better economic system.
2.) What such a change can mean for you (the audience was b-school students).
3.) What social entrepreneurship and social enterprise mean and why it can make a difference.
Snapdeal Case Study
Snapdeal launched a #GooddeedwithSnapdeal initiative to encourage people to perform good deeds and pay it forward, nominating two friends to continue the chain of kindness. A video and dedicated microsite were created to popularize Gandhi's message of being the change you wish to see. People responded positively to the campaign during the festive season, allowing Snapdeal to position their brand in a good light while influencing human behavior through social platforms.
Our World Today
Technology is rapidly changing our world and way of life similar to how the Industrial Revolution changed society over the course of a century but compressed into just 15 years. Schools need to focus on teaching skills like creativity, collaboration, problem-solving and digital literacy that will help students thrive in this changing environment rather than skills only relevant to the industrial age. Educational institutions will need to change and adapt more quickly to remain relevant as technology continues to progress and change society.
Discussion Group PP
This document discusses the importance of imagery and multimedia in nonprofit websites. It states that images and multimedia can stir people to action according to experts. It provides examples of nonprofit websites like World Vision that use images and videos effectively to promote donations and showcase their work. The document emphasizes that for nonprofits focused on social change, multimedia content like videos and images can make a big impact and help drive people to support and engage with the organization.
Staying Private in an Increasingly Public World
This document discusses staying private in an increasingly public world of social media. It notes that publication is a self-invasion of privacy and introduces three panelists - Ellen Diebold, Janie Graziani, and Forest Kenney - who will discuss how to maintain privacy while using social media. The panel will touch on building community and advising CEOs on using Twitter.
Ideas + Ideals
The document discusses ways to save the world through teamwork and sharing ideas. It highlights several organizations and projects in the Philippines that are making a positive difference through corporate social responsibility initiatives, environmental protection, and youth social enterprises. The goal is to encourage collaboration between different groups working on social and environmental issues.
Streets The Little Things
The document discusses a campaign to raise awareness of depression among Australian youth. It notes that 26% of Australian youth suffer from mental illness and 37% have depression. The campaign aims to educate youth about depression in a fun way, encourage their participation, and leverage the brand of Streets ice cream which is known for making people happy. It involves sharing happiness through simple gestures like dedicating ice creams or a song to others, building engagement on social media and with bloggers over 6 months. Funds raised will support the mental health organization Headspace.
Tcom 220 industry innovation and infrastructure
This document discusses how industry, innovation, and infrastructure can help achieve sustainable development goals by promoting changes that reduce emissions, transition to renewable energy sources, and improve education and jobs. The author believes targeting this goal could have the greatest impact because changes to infrastructure can influence issues like poverty, hunger, and climate change. Locally, industries in Washington like Amazon, Costco, Starbucks, and Boeing could make a large impact through technological and energy changes. The author wants to contribute by spreading knowledge about how targeting industry, innovation, and infrastructure can help address root causes of problems and outlines how social media could uniquely share positive facts and data about progress in this area.

Engaging your communities - getting fit for the Social Age - Charity Learning...
Charities are intimately connected to their communities: they rely on them for fundraising, for spreading their stories, for finding and engaging volunteers and for generating political change in the name of their cause. But how are these communities built and how do they gain momentum?
In this presentation, we explore the role of technology, the nature of community and why we engage, and we look at why it's so important to be authentic in these spaces.
Professor David Grayson
The document discusses services for older people and promoting active aging. It defines a good later life as one where physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs are addressed with dignity and independence. Happiness comes from giving, relating to others, exercising, engaging with the world, and learning. The Second Half network aims to offer solutions to demographic change through intergenerational debate at the intersection of aging, sustainability and entrepreneurship. Hush Farms is presented as a case study of a social enterprise that uses farming activities to encourage a fresh outlook on life and build skills and confidence for participants.
Panel presentation social innovation margaret hancock-nov. 11_2011 ocasi ed
Most simply, social innovation is about new ideas that work to address old social problems like poverty, homelessness, and violence. Social innovation applies new learning and strategies to solve these challenges by profoundly changing beliefs, routines, resource flows, and authority within social systems to increase resilience. Successful social innovations have durability, impact, and scale. Social entrepreneurs identify resources where others see only problems, beginning with the assumption that communities themselves hold the solution. Governments can enable social innovation by developing supportive policies, financing tools, and an environment that mobilizes private funds for public good through social enterprises owned by frontline workers and communities.
Safari 2011 team stichting doen
Stichting Doen seeks to scale their social impact through labour (re)integration projects. A social safari team conducted research and interventions with Doen to develop a vision. They propose Doen take an active role in becoming the most inspiring foundation by launching an annual incentive-based competition called "The Doen Challenge" to spur social innovation. Doen would also adopt a social media strategy, create a knowledge sharing hub called "Doen Labs", and empower community involvement to spread their mission.

Over the last 21 years, PARK has worked with Design Leaders and Design Teams all over the world, helping them to maximise the business and consumer impact of Design.
As we look forward to the next 21 years, it’s clear that the business landscape is changing, and the companies that win in the future will be those that make a positive contribution to the world - those driven by an authentic, deep-rooted purpose.
At PARK, we believe that this shift creates a significant opportunity for Design Leaders to step-up and help business leaders address some of the world’s most pressing environmental and social challenges.
If you’re an established Design Leader that believes Design can do more; join us this September at Raymond 21 as we seek to collectively re-think the role of design, and work towards a humanity-centered future.
Looking forward to meet you in Hamburg!

http://youtu.be/curBWbG-dkM
This presentation explores how the emergence of the internet of things allows us to design and create digital games that turn our schools, our cities and physical spaces into digital play environment. Daniel does this through demonstrating different ways digital tools have been used to create serious transmedia, educational and community building games and play spaces.
The networked leader #singapore
This document discusses the importance of modeling learning behaviors for students and connecting with them on a human level. It argues that technology alone does not create engagement or meaningful change - educators must model open learning, see everyone as both teachers and learners, and forge relationships through social media to inspire innovation. The biggest shift for teachers is changing their mindset, not just acquiring skills, and focusing on empowering students rather than just compliance.
Leading Innovative Change #TIES13
1) The document discusses how to move from isolated pockets of innovation to a culture of innovation in schools. It emphasizes focusing on relationships, learning experiences for staff, and narrowing the focus to meaningful creation and an open culture.
2) Key steps outlined include focusing on learning over technology, creating meaningful experiences for both students and staff, narrowing the focus, embracing an open culture and building leadership based on strengths.
3) The overall message is that innovative change is a human endeavor requiring a shift in mindset to view everyone as both teachers and learners and empowering an intrapreneurial spirit through an open culture of collaboration, creativity and meaningful learning experiences.
Internet Jerk (PauseFest 2014)
The document discusses how designers can move from "value transfer" to "value creation" by focusing on making products and experiences that meaningfully improve people's lives. It advocates designing for people rather than pixels, thinking beyond just the digital world to add value in the real world, and shifting conversations towards solving meaningful problems. This approach can help reduce waste and avoid accumulating social and environmental debt by creating "thick value" that benefits humans, communities and society.

Slidecast media - mc502- final!
The document discusses the future of virtual and gaming worlds and their potential influences and effects. It examines issues like the impact of virtual currency, whether branded goods will have a presence in virtual worlds, expected improvements to computer technology, the usefulness of virtual reality, and both potential positive and negative social effects of increased virtual world engagement. The conclusion questions whether the positive effects will outweigh the negatives and if the impacts will be magnified over time.
Thaisim 2014 The Role of Gamification and Enabling Technologies in Education
The nature of education and learning and development has changed dramatically since the introduction of digital technologies. The ability to access knowledge and information on demand has shifted the role of teachers away from knowledge dissemination to knowledge facilitation and coaching. Gamification has been an effective practice for education since the dawn of civilization but technologies such as video games and the Internet create opportunities for self-directed learning and development that create new challenges for educators. This presentation explores the role of Gamification and enabling technologies in Education and provides thoughts on how to implement Gamification strategies relevant for today and tomorrow.
Participation culture and curation (1)
According to a recent Pew study, more than half of young people have created media content and about one-third of teens who use the Internet have shared content they produced. These teens are actively involved in participatory cultures, where users interact with each other in some way, whether by contributing to online forums, commenting on blogs, or helping shape the direction of a website through editorial control.
One important media literacy skill is differentiating between distraction and opportunity on websites - whether consuming passive content or actively contributing. This ability to discern how to spend time online is vital for navigating the internet effectively.
Curation involves users acting as information finders and evaluators for each other by collecting and sharing links. Sites
The Social Media Democracy: How Did Social Media Change the 2012 Election?
Social media played a significant role in the 2012 US election. Researchers found that a single Facebook message on election day led to approximately 340,000 additional voters turning out. Many political campaigns employed sophisticated online strategies, such as nanotargeting different messages to various voter segments and remarketing to further engage voters. This webinar discussed how social media changed the 2012 election landscape and the power of paid, owned, and earned social media for political outreach.

Social Media & Democracy
Ushahidi is a tool that allows citizens to share information and increase transparency in Afghanistan. It combines existing technologies like SMS and Google Maps to enable citizens to report on events. The success of such a platform depends on societal factors like education levels and infrastructure, as well as design decisions around marketing, policies, and contingency planning for the local context in Afghanistan.
Role of social media in strengthening democracy
The document discusses the role of social media in strengthening democracy through healthy debate, fearless journalism, citizen engagement with government, and activism. It outlines how social media enables these democratic processes by allowing for constructive criticism, political discussions, factual journalism, citizen participation in governance, and raising awareness for issues. However, it also notes that effective social media strategies require relevant, easy to share content, a real world connection, influential leaders to shape opinions, and sustained effort to achieve results while avoiding issues like crowd censorship and passive audiences.
Role of Media in Democracy
The media plays a crucial role in shaping democracy by informing the public and holding governments accountable. It provides information to citizens so they can make informed decisions and exercise oversight of elected representatives. By exposing issues and reminding politicians of unfulfilled promises, the media helps strengthen democracy. While not perfect, a democratic system requires an active and neutral media to function properly as a watchdog of the people over their government.
The Impact of Social Media on Society and Democracy
These are the slides for a talk I gave to The Foundation of Science & Technology at the Royal Society, London on the 11 July 2012, as part of a wider panel discussion with Julian Huppert MP and Mike Lynch of Autonomy. The UK government's Data Communication Bill gave a backdrop and context to the evening.
Social Media and Politics
The document discusses how social media and the internet have changed the political landscape and democratic processes. It outlines how politicians now embrace platforms like Facebook and YouTube to engage citizens, how citizens can use social media to discuss issues, communicate with politicians, and organize activism. Examples are given of Barack Obama's successful 2008 social media campaign and how social media was used in the UK 2010 election debates and Arab Spring uprisings to facilitate activism and drive political change.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
