Meanwhile, as teachers we struggle to effectively manage truly differentiated learning environments. However, this need not be the case. Together, we will explore the possibilities and potential afforded by today’s technology and empower you to utilize technology resources to make learning personal, meaningful, and differentiated for today’s connected students.

How ANYONE can make insanely better slidesSean Johnson
My wife was showing me slides from a meeting she recently attended. I’m sure the material was great, but I didn’t read to find out. The slides literally made my eyes bleed.
Between my time as a partner at an early stage venture fund and a digital consulting company, I effectively live in Keynote. Creating proposals, reading pitch decks, making presentations.
I am convinced great slide-making is a tremendous skill to develop. It will make your internal presentations more persuasive. It will help you win more business or close that round of funding. It will accelerate your career.
You’ve no doubt seen gorgeous presentations at conferences and other events, but don’t know how to make them.
But you don’t need to know how to make those kinds of presentations for your day job. What you need are some simple tips for polishing up your decks. Making copy more readable. Making tables and charts more useful. Telling the story you’re trying to tell.
This deck is my attempt to help you with that. I hope you find it useful.
LEAP was designed by entrepreneurs and reflects the real life obstacles faced when trying to start a business. The event covers everything from nailing down your idea, to selling it and making money, and everything in between. It was built to be useful for anybody at any stage of the business lifecycle. Whether they are just flirting with the idea of a business, or already have some groundwork down and are trying to grow, LEAP will challenge participants to think outside the box and solve real business problems.
All too often, business events end up being 1 person talking in front of a crowd with minimal engagement. LEAP is the exact opposite. Every participant is involved with every obstacle. Every participant learns a new skill and learns how to adapt that skill to their existing business.
Don’t settle for another boring business event. LEAP into action

Prokaryotic cells are the earliest cells to evolve and lack membrane-bound organelles. They have genetic material located in the cytoplasm and ribosomes as their only organelle. Bacterial cells have a cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm containing ribosomes and nucleoid, and sometimes a mesosome. Eukaryotic cells evolved later and have a membrane-bound nucleus and organelles. They include membrane-bound structures like the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, and a cytoskeleton. Plant cells also have a cell wall, chloroplasts, and a large central vacuole.
This document discusses building a digital toolkit for career development and job searching. It identifies tools available like Optimal Resume, Interview Stream, CareerSearch, and social media platforms. Optimal Resume allows resume building and accessing job postings. Interview Stream is for practicing interviews. CareerSearch is a database for researching companies. LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube can be used to network, research employers, and market yourself. The document emphasizes using digital resources to support in-person networking as most jobs are found through contacts, not online postings.
This document provides tips on effectively using social media, especially LinkedIn, to brand yourself and conduct a job search. It recommends completing your LinkedIn profile with a professional photo, headline, summary and recommendations. It also suggests joining groups, posting regular updates, and using LinkedIn to research contacts and potential employers.

This document discusses generational diversity in the workplace. It reviews the characteristics of different generations currently in the workforce, including Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Next. It notes that while generations have different strengths, a diverse workforce provides opportunities for information exchange and mentoring across age groups. When employers understand generational differences and provide flexible work options, it allows all employees to contribute and the workplace to benefit from everyone's talents. By maximizing each generation's qualities, companies can create collaboration and inclusion that helps both younger and older workers.
Brian, a 75-year old man with bladder cancer, used an exit bag with sleeping pills to die peacefully. He prepared the sleeping pills beforehand to ensure he fell asleep inside the bag. As he fell asleep, the bag was positioned around his neck and he peacefully died as oxygen levels dropped and carbon dioxide rose inside the bag.
Joanna, a 69-year old woman with heart failure, used an exit bag with helium gas which caused oxygen levels to plummet immediately upon inhaling from the bag, causing her to lose consciousness quickly and die peacefully. Helium displaces oxygen and flushes out carbon dioxide, speeding up the hypoxic death process compared to using only an exit bag.
International conflicts can occur when countries have disagreements over issues that threaten their national interests, such as competing over territories, scarce resources, or differing ideological beliefs. There are several types of conflicts, including those over territories where countries seek to extend their power, border conflicts where boundaries are disputed, and conflicts over scarce resources as countries try to gain more of what they need. While countries often try to resolve conflicts through negotiation, compromise or appeals to international organizations, some disputes ultimately lead to war if not solved through more peaceful means.
This document discusses intellectual property law and how it relates to the internet. It covers copyright, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets. Key points include that copyright protects original creative works, trademarks protect commercial source indicators, and fair use is assessed using a four factor test.

Overall, the document examines how intellectual property law tries to balance rights of creators with new technologies like the internet.
1) Always-on research communities allow companies to continuously engage with consumers and gain insights directly from them.
2) By empowering consumers and gamifying the research process, communities can generate more meaningful engagement from members who are committed to contributing high-quality on-topic content.
3) Moderators must commit to creating engaging experiences that inspire consumers to act as co-researchers, going beyond traditional debriefs to spark real discussions and actions.
We hear it every day: Everything is changing. Social media, globalization, climate change are just a few of the powerful and complex forces at work in our every day lives. Not only are people more connected than ever with constant access to a world of opinion mixed with fact, but they’re also feeling less confident, lacking control over everything from home to work to politics. So, the world is complex and facing major challenges, competition is fierce, and brands mean more. So what?
The document discusses the concept of "CareerAgeTM" which measures factors like a person's use of technology, image, knowledge of pop culture, and attitude towards work to determine how up-to-date they appear for the current job market.
