Culture Before Strategy

Clark Quinn

In an insightful article, Ken Majer (full disclosure, a boss of mine many years ago) has written about the need to have the right culture before executing strategy. And this strikes me as a valuable contribution to thinking about effective change in the transformation of L&D in the Revolution. I have argued that you can get some benefits from the Revolution without having an optimized culture, but you’re not going to tap into the full potential.

David Kelly

Eliminating “Character Writer’s Block” with uinames.com

E-learning Uncovered

Recently, I was writing storyboards. When I came to a scenario, I felt that old, familiar feeling coming on: What names should I use for the characters? It’s a strange sort of writer’s block. We all know lots of names, right? And we couldn’t possibly have used all of them in one set of storyboards. And yet, if you’re like me, you’ve found yourself staring out the window, trying to think of all the people you know, searching for a name that brings the scenario to life.

iNACOL Leadership Webinar

eLearning Evangelist

One of the things I realized as I was planning this presentation, is that I had assumed that by now school leaders would know they shouldn't create a policy to specifically exclude students with disabilities (special needs students). It wasn't something I've really included in the most recent set of presentations. There is brief mention of this in my iNACOL publication but basically I felt it was something that was obvious.

Why schools shouldn't ban smartphones

Learning with e's

I was asked to write an opinion piece for the Western Morning News earlier this week as a response to the comments from Ofsted and their advisers on the use of technology in schools.

My view is that children can and do use technology to support their learning but they need to be guided to do so responsibly.
