The mechanics and art of photography unveil an intriguing metaphor for thinking about learning and our world view. For a photographer, the operation of cameras-- exploiting apertures, shutter speeds, optics, -- coexist with the artistic skills of pre-visualization, framing, composition. It is no longer a field dominated by pros with expensive gear, we can all make photographic art.
Taking the metaphor farther, creating an engaging learning experience is much more than point and shoot or flipping the settings into automatic mode. Photography is a beautiful example of how you can get better at doing something just by regularly doing (and sharing) your craft. Regular acts of photography, such as the Daily Create, are a model of informal learning that works.

For a photographer, the operation of cameras-- exploiting apertures, shutter speeds, optics, filters-- coexist with the artistic skills of pre-visualization, framing, composition. We meld with the camera, the boundary between tools and our human capabilities blur.
Taking the metaphor farther, creating an engaging learning experience is much more than point and shoot. Few successful photographers are born innately with their skills- it is a craft, as is learning, that often improves in the act of doing, trying, and reflecting.

Banish Your Inner Critic - UX Munich 2015Denise Jacobs
Your inner critic is an unconscious deterrent that stands between the seeds of great ideas and the fruits of achievement, keeping you stuck by telling you you’re just faking it, that others have more talent, that you’ll never achieve the success you seek. Let's discover how to anatomize this pernicious inner force, and then learn techniques to banish this critic so that you can have the mental space and energy to let your true talents emerge -- and help you be a badass with your work.
The Value of Leadership, the Leadership of Value: Remaining Relevant in times...Peter Bromberg
Script and supporting materials at: http://peterbromberg.com/sla
Throw out those 5 year strategic plans, change ain't what it used to be. Change no longer happens in slow, predictable, macro waves that allow us the time to make and execute big plans. Change now happens in a continual series of microbursts, each one potentially changing our experiences, behaviors, perceptions, and expectations in unexpected but potentially powerful ways.
A new type of leadership is called for. A leadership that not only provides a map for change, but also empowers people in your organization to throw away the map and respond to clients' needs in the moment. A leadership that questions best practices, holding only lightly to the ways of the past. A leadership that monitors societal trends and embraces small innovations and good ideas no matter where they come from.

Digital Ethics or The End of The Age of Legends v5Darren Kuropatwa
Slide deck in support of a conversation with educators about how to embed the teaching of digital ethics across the curriculum and holding up a mirror to our own ethical online behaviour before becoming too critical of the students who learn from us.
Held at the EARCOS Leadership Conference in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. 31 October 2014.
We live in an age where everything is recorded digitally – in pictures, video, and text – live as it happens; it's the end of the age of legends. "Selfie", according to the Oxford dictionary, is the word of the year 2013. Often the selfies our students are sharing aren't putting their best digital foot forward. As teachers, how can we help our students leave digital footprints they can be proud of? Is only sharing your "best stuff" such a good idea? How do we address the issue of digital ethics across the curriculum and in our classrooms?

Here is a not so secret method for how to be successful at anything. Practice it every day. But there's more to sustaining this than repeating it for 10,000 hours. That's boring. We have something in the DS106 Open Digital Storytelling course that has helped people improve their creativity and imagination. The Daily Create is modeled the defunct Daily Shoot, which offered a daily challenge designed to help people practice their photography skills. For over two years, the ds106 Daily Create has offered a daily creative prompt in written, photographic, drawing, audio, and video form. These challenges are now to no stake and encourage participants to try things that may have never done before. What makes this different from exercising or learning to play the saxophone is that the Daily Create is fun, open, and generates connections between people around the world. And you can modify the same approach for any subject.
Invited keynote for Riding the Wave of Change conference, Gimli (Manitoba) May 2014
"Storytelling" is a long time resident of the charts of educational ideas. As a topic of workshops and presentations (I've done plenty), books (none for me), TED Talks (definitely not), the word to me conjures up the idea of performance. Plus my own internal conversation-- "I'm not a storyteller". Peel away the connotations of campfires, cave drawings, and performers on a stage, the elements of storythinking are much more important to me than the show. A hook of interest, the shape of a narrative, a character to care about, suspension of belief, using less, media metaphors are story techniques that you can integrate into your work as educators. While technology provides plenty of tools to tell stories, more compelling is what they afford us to practice and develop our own skills of making and incorporating story not only into teaching, but many forms of expression. I will share my own experiments in improvisation (pechaflickr), visual storytelling (Five Card Flickr Stories), a method hidden within a list of tools (50 Web Ways to Tell a Story), and online teaching (ds106) -- not as magic answers but perhaps a way of thinking about story elements beyond the performance aspect.

Enquire Within Upon Everything: True Stories of the Wondrous WebAlan Levine
Keynote presentation for the eLearning Consortium of Colorado 2014 conference -- their 25th year of the conference; the firs took place a month after Tim Berners-Lee got approval for his World Wide Web project.
A Victorian era book represented the best technology of its time to organize, via a crude hypertext system, a collection of world knowledge. In the hands of a young boy growing up in the 1960s, it inspired a spirit of magic, wonder, and the vision of an open portal to the world of information. As an adult, he invented the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee's original vision was of "the Web being so generally used that it became a realistic mirror of the ways in which we work and play and socialize. That was that once the state of our interactions was on line, we could then use computers to help us analyse it, make sense of what we are doing, where we individually fit in, and how we can better work together."
As an open, connected space, the web remains a near infinite place we ought to revel that same wonder. Our educational careers begin in kindergarten, knowing intrinsically the value of sharing. Somewhere between there and graduate school, we lose track of this simple concept, be it worrying about theft of intellectual property or questioning the value of what we do. The open ecology of an Enquire Within Upon Everything web can undermine this limiting attitude and rekindle that sense of wonder. It's all about creating more potential serendipity. Let's celebrate the True Stories of what happens when educators share something openly on the web.

The ds106 Files: Outbreaks of Infectious and Open Acts of CreativityAlan Levine
Keynote presentation for TechFest 2013, University of Alaska-Fairbanks http://www.alaska.edu/oit/techfest/
While much of higher education seems hunkered down in crises of a broken system or MOOC takeover, reports are filtering in from the distal portions of the internet where open, spontaneous, volunteered acts of creative expression seem to be spreading at alarming rates. These reports have been traced to a loose federation of registered students, teachers, and openly participating individuals of all ages in something known as ds106, an open course in digital storytelling. Patient Zero has been traced to students at the University of Mary Washington, but activity has spread to multiple institutions, K-12 schools, retirees, artists, and people of various affiliations across North America, Europe, Africa, and Australasia. The report highlights the manifestations of this creativity in individually managed internet domains and self-hosted blogs, demonstrated in visual, audio, video, and remixed media, extensively reflected upon. Intense activity has been spotted in blog comments, twitter, Google Plus, and social media platforms, including the current incarnation as a "headless" course. The most intense focus areas are around atypical course constructs of daily creative challenges, a web-based radio station, and an open assignment bank.
It is likely some of you will be affected by contact with this information and may end up devoting time to creating animated GIFs, remixed movie trailers, and radio shows.
Keynote presentation for the 2013 TCC World Online Conference
Dim the lights, cue the music, roll the open credits… but the ds106 show is not where the audience just sits quietly in their seats. You will not only learn how this open online course in digital storytelling works, but have a chance to try a few of the creative challenges and assignments we give to our students.
Digital storytelling 106 (ds106) offers a versatile opportunity to create a learning community. This open online course in digital storytelling is part of a networked architecture built of participants’ own blogs to which our web site subscribes and shares back content published by individuals. Special features of ds106 include an open assignment bank that participants populate, a daily creative challenge, and even its own internet-based radio station. You can tune in to the show at any time; we are located at http://ds106.us/ on your Internet dial.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

and proclamations of self importance, let me
be very blunt: where there is no artist, there is
no art. No matter how beautiful or powerful
the feats of nature you photograph, if all you
do is record them using photographic media
without introducing your own sensibilities into
the final product, they are not art!Your images
should provide viewers with an experience
they could not have had, and would never
have seen or felt, if it were not for your
sharing it with them.”

If you mash up this photo a dog will bark at yoy!
what’s wrong?
51. "It has changed me more as a father than it has as a
photographer. There are lots of difficult things you go
through as the parent of special needs child. Yet to
see his photo showcased prominently on something I
care deeply about, such as Flickr, and to see him
being praised by my friends and colleagues gives me
a sense of pride for my son. Also his images has
been used for campaigns and posters for Autism.
This photo has produced some redemptive and
endearing qualities since I posted it online."

context
65. "Without a caption, without a context, without some
idea about what the picture is a picture of, I can’t
answer. I simply cannot talk about the photograph as
being true or false independently of beliefs about the
picture. A captionless photograph, stripped of all
context, is virtually meaningless. I need to know
more.And yet, this idea that photographs can be true
or false independent of context is so ingrained in our
thinking that we are reluctant to part with it."

77. "Photography is an art and a craft. Getting better at
both requires practice—lots of practice. The Daily
Shoot is a simple daily routine to motivate and inspire
you to practice your photography, and share your
results! It’s not a contest and there are no prizes. It's
simply about encouraging you to pick up your camera
and make photographs.That's it. There aren't any other
rules. You aren't going to get demerits if you miss a few
days, nor will you get gold stars for doing every
assignment. We're just here to help you with a little
nudge every day. The rest is up to you!"
The Daily Shoot, (http://dailyshoot.com/)
81. "The intelligent, polite and talented DS
photographers expand my creativity by
showing so many possible good approaches
to the same photographic problem.
Commenting on other photos and having my
own photos commented on is yet another
enhancement to the learning.”

82. "Daily shoot has really forced me to look more
closely at my world and experiment more with
my photography. I am trying different angles,
lighting and composition. By shooting
everyday, I am also able to see when I fall into
a rut or a pattern thus forcing me to try new
things.”

83. "'Forcing' yourself to take a photo every day
means you have your camera with you at all
times and you start to look at objects and
events with a more artful eye. I find it that I
frame shots in my head even if I am not going
to actually press the shutter button.
I have always loved photography but this kind
of project actually made me fall in love with
photography all over again.”

85. “I remember walking around campus that day thinking about preparedness, looking
for preparedness, wondering what preparedness was. No luck.That evening,
though, I was thinking about how Leatherman’s were an example of preparedness,
and then I remembered an old pocketknife my grandfather had given me. I tried to
think of how I could make it interesting. It needed… atmosphere. It needed…
lighting. But just shooting it with a flash turned out bland, so I figured out how to get
the flash focused on a small area of the scene (it’s called a snoot).
It’s clear, I think, that absent the constraint of needing to take a certain kind of
picture that night, I probably wouldn’t have ever headed down the path which
resulted in the picture, nor would I have gained further practice in photography.”

86. “Despite knowing that photographing water is difficult, I
walked around our campus after school looking for it; I
should have been looking for liquids. Then I saw it.
Beautiful, dense, thick buckets of mud. A blend of earth
and water and gas and everything mushed together. I
have always loved mud, so with great pleasure I
snapped a round of shots. I am glad I didn't go with a
more traditional glistening form of liquid, and I tried
something a bit different.”

87. “I often see people and think that I’d like to take their
portrait. It sounds creepy in my head as I write that but
I promise it’s a fairly widespread idea (
http://www.100strangers.com). I just happen to think
certain people look interesting but I don’t ever do
anything about it. I worry my social skills are not up to
it.
But you see a photo at the top of this post. A photo I
took of a stranger. That may not seem like a big deal to
many of you but it took some serious psyching up for
me to do that. It’s not the best picture but it does
represent something I’m glad I did.”

88. “The assignment’s taken me on some pretty
unexpected adventures. Almost everyday I’ve
started with a completely different idea (or no idea)
of what I was going to photograph, then stumbled
upon something extraordinary. It’s forced me to
think about things in new ways and it’s shown me
that sometimes it’s easier to make art when you
take a more hands-on approach and don’t
overthink it.”

Editor's Notes
[twitter]Starting “Looking Through the Lens” presentation on photography as a metaphor for learning[/twitter]
Hi, my name is Alan and I am a photographer... of that is the wrong talk. Oh, wait, it is the right one.
For some, photography seems hard.
[twitter]So what is a photographer? Only for pros to say “I Exist”?[/twitter]
But this guy looks happy. He is a “professional” and as a pro-- he has the Big Lens, he is on some exotivc location... as a pro his photography says “I Exist”
Bullshit.
The only thing about being a professional is that you get paid to do something everyone else can do if they choose. Think of the oldest profession in the world...
This photo is not be a quote/unquote professional. It makes a statement. It says I Exist.
She’s not a pro, but look at her expression. Do you question her assertion of existence?
This guy to exists... in pain. Maybe the pain is because he is not a Professional?
[twitter]Instagram creating new niche of photographers http://bit.ly/gF7mdA[/twitter]
Mobile photography is opening up creative opportunities for people who might not have considered themselves a photographer. Photos like these from my colleague Kim Flintoff are casual, in the moment, intimate.
Who in the audience has a camera?
Not these kind, put your big guns away.
These kind. Every smartphone user has a device to take both bad and excellent photos...

[twitter]Used slow shutter speed, layering to create six word story http://flic.kr/p/9FSfvk [/twitter]
Easy to take a snapshot of this interesting photo gallery. But more went in to it, wanted to explore perhaps creating a scene or story. With camera knowledge, I forced a slow exposure to make cars blur, and thought the arrangement of people made for layers. In post (I tossed 4 that did not work) I decided to make this a six word story.
