Despite the myth of "digital natives," most of my students have very little experience using technology as anything more than a consumer device. It doesn't have to be this way. By using the design thinking cycle, teachers can foster creative thinking in every content area.

These slides are from a presentation which I gave on the creative culture of Pixar, as told by Ed Catmull in his recently-published book titled Creativity, Inc.
Most people are born creative. As children, we revel in imaginary play, ask outlandish questions, draw blobs and call them dinosaurs. But over time, because of socialization and formal education, a lot of us start to stifle those impulses. We learn to be warier of judgment, more cautious, more analytical. The world seems to divide into “creatives” and “noncreatives,” and too many people consciously or unconsciously resign themselves to the latter category.
And yet we know that creativity is essential to success in any discipline or industry. According to a recent IBM survey of chief executives around the world, it’s the most sought-after trait in leaders today. No one can deny that creative thinking has enabled the rise and continued success of countless companies, from start-ups like Facebook and Google to stalwarts like Procter & Gamble and General Electric.
In this presentation you will discover why you lost your creative confidence—the natural ability to come up with new ideas and the courage to try them out, and how to restore it back.

Tools and Technologies for Making Policies.
With the current technologies advancement in the field of information and communication policy making processes is faced with numerous opportunities to make it look modern to enhance efficiency and help develop great policies that can help optimize and minimize waiting time for passengers.
With the help of enhanced data collection and processing capabilitiesin train environment, there will be reduced time taken in working on and interpreting data related to passenger and train movement. Data mining technologies will be used to process passenger information and provide timely schedules using computer aided decisions. With increased human resource coordination, higher technology in data collection and processing strategies, there will be timely schedule and in the smart city environment (Kamateri, Panopoulou, Tambouris, Tarabanis, Ojo, Lee, & Price, 2015).
The provision of education, training and outcome hearing is a major factor that need consideration in reducing train waiting time and improve time scheduling. This way will reduce energy wastage and also make a great contribution to the success of all other tools and technologies. These all are procedural tools that follow each other where understanding and proper implementing them will yield great results. Incorporating the above two tools and technologies in the smart environment, there will be vast movement of information a prompt passenger movement schedule that is timely and energy saving (Rowlands, 1996).

Useful Tools in Policy Making
Policy-making involves effective decision-making. Various techniques and tools are applied in organizing thoughts towards making and implementing working policies. In policy-making, long-term decisions have to be made in order to avoid fallacies that can fail big projects. For instance, the transport industry serves a lot of people every day. The industry needs policies that can help in improving their services. Train and bus services need to be time conscience by working with policies that favor the movement schedules of most of their clients. People living within SmartCity environments depend highly on technology to access information and communicate. This means planners and policy makers have to create an effective transport network to make life manageable for city inhabitants.

Optimizing Local Government Management through Performance and Data AnalyticsHarry Black
Time is of the essence for local governments in this age of
the Internet of things and big data. A fundamental question
is “Can government be disrupted?” The answer is yes, and
it will happen, brought about by driverless cars, drones, big
data-driven algorithms, and robots. The way that we currently
conduct business in government will change, requiring fewer
people, fewer facilities, and less equipment.

Strategic use of digital information in Government - Rwanda-CMU-2014Rajiv Ranjan
Guest talk at Carnegie Mellon University in Rwanda on Strategic use of digital information in Government delivered on October 23, 2014 to the students of M.S. in Information Technology [Strategic use of digital information in enterprises]
Public data is an underutilized resource developers and entrepreneurs should be able to use to build apps and businesses. But not all government agencies see the value in making their data publicly available. Go Code Colorado challenges developers to create apps that solve business problems and create new businesses in the process. Join us to hear how Go Code is creating a community that values open data, from state agencies that are making their data public, to developers that are creating innovative solutions to make Colorado a better place to do business.
At the 32nd annual IT Symposium, James Kauth provides an update on how the State IT services organization is tackling innovation: it covers accomplishments to date, the activity underway now and the exciting opportunities on the horizon. This includes partnering in hackathons and open data, extending open source to our application sourcing, an enterprise mobile application development strategy, and creating a public innovation website beacon to develop more public-private partnerships in the future.
The SpotDy City Pulse™ is built on top of cutting edge big data technologies along with deep data science and AI algorithms, for Governments to deliver right actions at right place at right time.
SpotDy BigAITM introduce a completely new model for building operational intelligence, giving companies a competitive edge by put all their data to work to uncover new insights in timely fashion without friction.
Webinar: How Penton Uses MongoDB As an Analytics Platform within their Drupal...MongoDB
NorthPoint Digital worked with the Penton and MongoDB teams to deliver a MongoDB based solution, Govalytics, to serve city and county governments. We will review the design decisions made and steps taken to implement and integrate into the existing digital platform.
In the session, we will review:
How Govalytics fits into Penton's entire digital platform?
What were the business drivers for choosing MongoDB (with Product Owner testimony) and why it was so successful?
How NorthPoint Digital implemented a complete, highly interactive UX solution powered by MongoDB as part of an integrated solution and not just as a database
Roadmap for the future – how the solution was designed to be independently scalable
Watch the recording of this session and learn why nearshore outsourcing is the next big thing and why a lot of companies are looking into Costa Rica in particular.
IoT can be complex and confusing with many definitions often perceived by enterprises. But it's not a futuristic trend because it's already happening and we can start small with existing 'things'.
The Internet of Things powers a new era of innovation that opens new opportunities to re-imagine the future of our city, so city leaders can more proactively address city priorities such as reducing energy consumption, improving public safety, and nurturing innovation and growth.
Public scrutiny and agency accountability are at an all-time
high. Agencies are looking for a better understanding of the issues that are important to their customers. In an era of strained financial resources, it is necessary to order priorities that are important to the people that support the transportation system through taxes and fees. The Public Engagement Planning (PEP) program at the Texas A&M Transportation
Institute (TTI) provides research innovations and coordinated support to sponsors in the areas of public engagement planning and public opinion research.

97. In Summary
✦ Data Visualisation isn’t just about making pretty charts,
it has its own language.
✦ Making your visualisation more accessible and seen by
more people is good. But if it miscommunicates, it can be
worse than not being seen at all.
✦ Data can be cold, add emotion to humanise your story.
✦ Design should happen before data is processed.
✦ Who, What, Why, How?
