Smell This!
Frank Baker is by and far one of the most prolific media literacy resource collectors in America. When we thought about media literacy 30 years ago the terrain was pretty bare. Today media literacy includes 4 screens and an assault on the senses. Think Lovemarks! What about the senses? Here are some great links, smells [...]
Physical Commuication
Do you read cool hunting? Cool Hunting pointed me towards yet another way to communicate. There exist few limits to a child’s potential for creativity, and the blocks that accumulate on the playroom floor may seem equally boundless as kids are left to explore. Breaking down the boundaries between various branded construction sets like K’Nex, [...]
Just Amazing!
Are you reading the Duarte Blog? We are in the midst of a visual revolution or return really. When you think about it, go back to 3000 BC the 1st forms of communication codified on clay tablets were visual. Then we have Egypt, visual. China and early writing! Visual. And then in and around 751AD [...]
A Must Watch
Why go to school? What is a teacher? Public education? Smart? Not? Economics vs intellectual? I am moving to a new school in September to help create the UAE’s leading mass communication program. I say leading because if we are going to just do what is typical today there would be no point in moving [...]
The Training We Need
I am constantly amazed by how ill prepared students really are to go out into the big bad world of work. YES we do give students a wealth of ideas and knowledge. YES we do tes the life out of students to prepare them for failure and criticism. But how well do we prepare the [...]
Advertising to New Hights?
I teach a communication history course and the general theme is that communication change comes from 2 things. The 1st thing that provokes change is the environment, the larger lay of the land at any time. The second thing that provokes change is people and their curiosity to try things, invention! What I believe today [...]
Parents,Music and Goals
Chris Isaak talking to George Stroumboulopoulos on TheHour on CBC TV. This is a fantastic 3 minutes. The worth of validation, our parents, communication, luck… So many things happen around us that we take for granted. Maybe we need to sit on the sofa and take a look at our lives once in a while? [...]
Teens and the Internet
(Reuters Health) – One in every 25 teens had “problematic Internet use” in a new study of high school students from Connecticut. Are we doing enough to make our youth aware of the risk and danger to their physical and mental health with excessive internet consumption? This Reuters article should make us all sit back [...]
Who did what?
One of the greatest problem faced by any organization, unless it is a solo operation, is understanding the value of what people do. Too often we all play the ‘I did/You did’ game which is wholly destructive to any organization. And add to the above, ‘what I did is more valuable than what you did.’ At the [...]
Put up or shut up
We academics are a funny group of people. We spend our days sitting in relatively well furnished buildings dispensing the building blocks of information to the generation that is going to fix the mess we have made. But as a rule we academics do very little when it comes to actually practicing what we teach! [...]
