Lms.mysdhc. Education chief wants textbooks to become obsolete. WASHINGTON (AP) — Worried your kids spend too much time with their faces buried in a computer screen?
Their schoolwork may soon depend on it. Education Secretary Arne Duncan called Tuesday for the nation to move as fast as possible away from printed textbooks and toward digital ones. "Over the next few years, textbooks should be obsolete," he declared. It's not just a matter of keeping up with the times, Duncan said in remarks to the National Press Club. It's about keeping up with other countries whose students are leaving their American counterparts in the dust. South Korea, which consistently outperforms the U.S. when it comes to educational outcomes, is moving far faster than the U.S. in adopting digital learning environments. "The world is changing," Duncan said. The transition to digital involves much more than scanning books and uploading them to computers, tablet devices or e-readers. But adopting digital textbooks isn't as easy as a directive from Washington.

Illed with rules and tales about management, the gray-colored Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management was originally part of a PowerPoint presentation the CEO made to engineers and scientists at the Waltham defense giant.
But Swanson, who has spent his entire career at Raytheon, was later asked if he could put his rules down on paper. So he did: in 3-inch-by-5-inch spiral-bound notebooks handed out to executives and customers. Some of the rules were originally published over 60 years ago as The Unwritten Laws of Engineering (1944) by W. J. King. Learn to say, "I don't know. " In the Business 2.0 article that made Swanson's little book famous, they expounded on his rules and added the following: You can't polish a sneaker.You remember 1/3 of what you read, 1/2 of what people tell you, but 100 percent of what you feel.Treat your company name as if it were your ownWhen faced with decisions, try to look at them as if you were one level up in the organization.
