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 [...]
Think Niche
You want to know what our problem is? We collectively think too much about the big picture and the latest and greatest technology FAILING to realize that we live, work and breath the small picture and that most of us are using old tech (over a year old) to do most everything! Want to succeed? [...]
The New Face of Journalism I Imagine.
I believe journalism is in a crisis situation, the crisis of being irrelevant. I believe that journalism is on the brink of becoming irrelevant as a field of study NOT because students are abandoning the field of study, but because the professors and practitioners of the trade are unable to grasp, see, live, adapt to [...]
The Landline.
Don’t email. Don’t SMS. In fact push the technology away for 1 hour a day and during that hour try to communicate old school! (share with me your experience!) Recently I have started to do just that, communicate old school. What I have done is commit to spending Xamount on my long distance telephone bill. [...]
Back from a Blog Break.
Do you ever just tune out? Stop blogging, stop email (well I did answer 5 messages from my students), hold the tweets, facebook freeze? What do you have to lose is the big question. Maybe continuity. Maybe followers. Maybe nothing. What I find whether I take a 7 day or 7 week break is that [...]
Books Redeployed.
Sometimes we stumble on ideas in the places we least expect to find them. The OECD is full of bright ideas that often seem to be left hanging. The OECD in its work on sustainable development talks about the idea of books on demand. I do not want to suggest that the bookstore is going [...]
Do you TWITTER?
I really like TWITTER. I have been using TWITTER for a while and find it a great way to send bits of information fast and wide! MY SITE is a place where I tend to post that stuff that is between a blog and that which I might include in a more formal educational format. [...]
The right stuff?
I found this on BoingBoing.net. You been to BoingBoing lately? Give the piece a read! What I am wondering is if we need to think about this when we talk about education? No not the phones but the idea of giving people what they really need and not the crap that we want them to [...]
University thinking.
What if the university student and university professor had to change places for a week? Really! I cannot imagine it would be pretty. But what would result was a profound re-thinking of higher education from both stakeholders. Too little time today is spent by professors imagining the environment students are coming from (don’t forget professors [...]
The power of cooperation!
WEB 2.0 is a fact of life. WEB 3.0 has been tentatively defined in WIKIPEDIA as… Web 3.0, a phrase coined by John Markoff of the New York Times in 2006, refers to a supposed third generation of Internet-based services that collectively comprise what might be called ‘the intelligent Web’—such as those using semantic web, [...]
