Make Education Worth the Time

Innovation in Everything!

I think, I know that we all need to be thinking about innovation in everything we do. Of course we don’t or we like to say we are not innovative. The biggest failure today in pretty much every industry is failing to see the ability to innovate what we do. And education is top on [...]

Understanding Media Consumption.

We have a problem in the marketing and education world. The problem is that we, the creators of content and delivery systems, are not paying enough attention to how people or which people are using media and how. All too often we are relying on old data or how we are using media. But if [...]

Women in Film and Television UAE

Media people, be them in print, film or some place in between are an interesting bunch. I recently had the opportunity to speak to the co-chairs of the UAE chapter of Women in Film and Television. It constantly amazes me that there is still such a glass ceiling in place when it comes to women [...]

Media “focus on entertainment over news” is this a bad thing?

Entertainment vs news is there really an us versus them situation in front of us? Is it really that bad if news begins to take on a more entertaining stance? Isn’t the real issue whether the message is getting through? The Swiss have found that what is being covered in their constituency is entertainment and [...]

Cool Idea!

We all go to conferences, a significant investment of time for sure, but do we have any measure of the value of the conference to others? Not usually. Sure we do a survey here and there but do we have any other way to figure out what impact the conference or meeting is having on [...]

Today TEDxZU Was Launched!

    Well today was a special day, TEDxZU was launched. Since 2009 I have been a curator or co-curator of 3 different TEDx events, spoken at a TEDx event and helped mentor 2 events. After my last TEDx, TEDxAbuDhabiU which was excellent, I went back to the drawing board. Actually I asked myself why [...]

TEDx Global Music Project

TED is cool. TEDx is cool. And a few TEDsters got together and asked what happens to the original music that comes out of TEDx events? Of course that indie music just went up into the ether. Well now there is the TEDx Global Music Project. I love this project because it is all about [...]

Are We Ready to Re-imagine Journalism?

Are we ready to re-imagine journalism and do we want to? Or should the question be do journalism schools want to re-imagine what they are teaching, why and how? The journalism of yesterday and the journalism of today are rather different! Sure the physical act is the same, sort of, but the environment is changing [...]

The Grass is Greener!

I have a serious case of envy. And my plan is to fix my own, distracted time-management skills, to eliminate the envy I am feeling. I am envious of Wilma (named changed for anonymity) because she has managed to, very purposefully, focus all of her time on her immediate tasks at hand. Every conversation, every interaction, [...]

Story in the story!

I posted the Storify video interview yesterday. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvPBqON3yUQ[/youtube] What is really cool is that these guys are huge Hugh MacLeod fans! Check out the images in the background! And did you catch the Seth Godin quotes? Very cool!
