Mobile Technology – Empowering The Workforce

Upside Learning

In an earlier blog post , Abhijit Kadle had written about a gradual but complete shift to mobile based devices for a whole host of activities, learning being just one of them. Today I came across a news article which strengthened that belief even further. In an article published on a British journalism website – www.journalism.co.uk , it was reported that the BBC is now set to broadcast directly from iPhones and iPads.

Jane Hart

Tweet A year ago I spoke at a conference in the UK – and one of the content development vendors said my use of Twitter as a backchannel in my session was “gimmicky&# !!

Great Advice from Stanley Kubrick.

TechSmith Camtasia

I stumbled upon this quote from film director Stanley Kubrick the other day. And, while he's referring to camera and film video, I think his advice holds true for screencasters as well. "Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all." - Stanley Kubrick quotes (American Film Director and Writer, 1928-1999).

How to Train Potential Leaders? Easy. Treat Leadership Like Any Other Skill

Mindflash

In my recent Mindflash post on developing leadership skills , I proposed three ideas. First, leadership is a skill set like any other. Second, it can be learned like any other.

With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.
