Breath!
A huge part of my day is delivering an academic show. Today I put on 2 shows, one was on the basic infrastructure of a newspaper and the second was an intro to semiotics. Whether you are in a service, knowledge or manufacturing industry you are working your mind hard for several consecutive hours. Yet [...]
What Makes a Good Work Space.
After 10 years of teaching at Zayed University I have finally created a working environment that inspires me. How often does a university professor speak about being inspired by their office? My office is small, has a minimal amount of furniture, little storage and the walls are being used. But what makes the office work [...]
New Media to New Education, living convergence! A humble start.
The world of media and the world of technology are changing, whether they like it or not. As much as we talk about new media and new education both seem to be caught in the mud of their old ways. TV/radio/press/film all talk new but are doing very little that is new. New media is [...]
The power of a good Story
Last night I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Chris Johns the Editor in Chief of National Geographic Magazine. Since 2005 Johns has led the magazine and its redesign, his photojournalism roots are very obvious! Johns is worth listening to not only because he has gone from being a photographer to editor of a [...]
Looking for education innovation
There is a lot of noise out there today and too much of it revolves around innovation that is not innovation at all. Mark Hurst of Good Experience spends a lot of time looking at the experience we have in a retail and even education environment and has tapped into 3 examples of innovation on the [...]
Time/Technology-need a reboot
Last night I had an interesting discussion about technology with many people in Dubai. The big question was is technology working for us or against us? Do we rely too much on technology today? The discussion was interesting to say the least, give it a listen if you want. What I took from the conversation [...]
Can a professor be a social media expert?
www.gapingvoid.com for the image! Social media is an important part of our education, communication, political and economic environments today. I have seen the writing on the wall for a bit over 2 years and the writing is in neon paint! The problem we are confronted with is academia really has not been listening, walking around [...]
Ian Gilbert @ TEDxDubai 2009 Re-Imagining Education.
Ian Gilbert Live at TEDxDubai 2009. I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Gilbert about a year ago. I instantly knew that Ian had a story to tell and many people with ear plugs in need to listen and hard! We have a global education crisis today because bureaucrats, CFO’s (chief failure officers), accountants and [...]
Hold on tight to your passion
Have you been following the99.org? Last night I had a chance to catch up with Dr. Naif, he did an amazing talk at TEDxDubai, and as usual was amazed! The message from Dr. Naif is simple, follow your passion and hold onto what you believe with both hands. Have a listen to the conversation. Dr. [...]
A little food radio?
I cannot stop listening and watching the Jamie Oliver TEDPrize speech. All I keep asking is what can I do? Sadly, as Oliver says in his opening sentence, I am not so sure people know where to start or if they can see where how! For 3 months I have been saying, “there must be [...]
