Is there a key to success?
Have you ever spent any tie looking at the Berlin School of Leadership site? Bill Roedy did the 5th Anniversary and graduation speech for the Berlin School. AMAZING! Not that I was hearing anything new but it was great to hear these ideas from another voice. Tips to success from Bill the cable guy. [...]
Student Power
One of the most under used resources is our youth. We know this, we talk about youth all the time BUT are we doing anything about it? No. Well I am doing my part, sure I am patting myself on the back but hey what are you doing? I make it possible for students at [...]
Why We Need to Give Students a Voice
I am very lucky to be an educator who has access to the mass media as a talk show host. I can be a real pain in the neck as an educator with a voice that can reach many people through the mass media. Recently I asked myself why there isn’t any student radio on [...]
Finally! The teaching tool I need is here!
SmartBoards, SmartPhones, GoogleDocs, DropBox, Web, Wiki…. there is an ever growing number of tools available to educators today to help make the information exchange process easier. And I am sorry to say 95% of the technology enabled tools, my estimation, are useless. Sure 95% of those technology enabled tools are cool, sexy even, but they fail [...]
We got education wrong!
I really do think we are going about the art of informing and developing our children on the wrong way. Not that the whole process is broken, but it does need a serious renovation. So where do we start? I think the starting point is a huge issue. We have old school administrators looking at the problem [...]
Designing a Convergent Media Space
If you could dream big and design the ultimate learning/lab space to transform the way we think and do communication today what would it look like? The problem, and there is a problem, is that the space needs to function as a classroom, lecture hall, studio, think tank, recording facility, technology incubator, and new convergent [...]
Do and be International Baccalaureate (IB)
Don’t get me wrong I think that the idea behind an IB education is grand. Hey my own children have gone through an IB program at the PYP level! In fact last night at Uptown School the grade 5s did a fantastic Exhibition with acting, dancing and the whole 9 yards to really demonstrate what [...]
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 [...]
The power of youth!
The single greatest problem today is not listening to our youth! Why is that an issue? We professors, we bureaucrats, we parents, we …. are truly bankrupt of creative ideas. What we do have is a means to implement ideas but what we lack are ideas, new innovative,creative ideas. Look at Greece! How do they [...]
Journalists need retraining, sort of!
Today more than ever journalists need to be retrained on how to connect their stories to their multiple audiences. The problem faced by journalists today is very simply that their occupation is transforming and they do not know how to transform along with it. When we academics talk about the changes taking place to journalism [...]
