ONE Love! WITH KILFORD THR MUSIC PAINTER
What happens when you combine music and art? ONE LOVE! Kilford is one of those rare people who had a passion as a kid, actually wanted to work at Disney as an artist at 6 and was rejected as being too young and returned to the art passion! He takes a song, listens to it, [...]
To be young and foolish!
I often ask myself if it was a perfect world how would I build a team to actually make change happen! And I keep coming back to the idea of being young and foolish! The people who we charge with making change, on the whole, are old, tired, jaded and pretty much worn out as [...]
Brand You?
Back from a great surf break and full of ideas! After a while in Bali you start to ask yourself, ‘how can I make this lifestyle more permanent?’ One of the obvious answers is you need to create a way to make your skills of some marketable value beyond sending out a CV to a [...]
Do students want the education they need?
This may sound like a silly question with the obvious answer being YES, but wait a second. We are sitting on the break of an education revolution and the mobile environment is just the leading edge of the emerging wave. This Fast Company slide show tells us a lot about the very young student and [...]
How transperent do we want our education? Bring on the curious public!
By the very nature of going to a school, 4 walls to separate the students from the curious, and then rooms to further separate the spectators from the curious, we have bought into an idea of education that promotes elitism and anything but transparency! Teachers go behind closed doors and deliver classes to a small [...]
Do we need more social connections in the classroom.
I am wrestling with the use of technology in my university classes. To be very honest the use of new communication technology excites me! I love the way Twitter, #jamesed_me, allows me to communicate links, materials and ideas to my students. Facebook creates another forum for interaction, especially if the group is protected. Livestream allows [...]
Branding for Women
For the last few years I have been very interested in how we brand ideas and concepts for the different segments of the population. The mud on the wall method of delivering content, if some sticks it is ok approach, is simply not good enough. Again and again I return to Michele Miller and Wonder [...]
Just got back my time!
For years my wife has been telling me that we are in the middle of one of the greatest con-jobs ever, time theft! I am sure you are repeating those words, time theft and wondering what can I be talking about. Well, if you are anything like me you spend a bit of time on [...]
The new world of work
THE 2009 DALTON CAMP LECTURE IN JOURNALISM Listen One of the toughest parts of working in education is knowing that you are teaching a group of students of which some will go into careers that at this exact moment do not exist. So, the question has to be, am I giving them the skills they [...]
apps are the future.
The 4th screen (your mobile/cellular phone) holds the key to your information world. And are we teaching app creation, management, imagination in our schools? I suspect many teachers/professors have only a passing knowledge about apps given that they are not using phones that easily take on board advanced applications. My advice to students, anyone really, [...]
