250 Google Tools Tutorials for Teachers
A few years ago I decided to start making video tutorials for the many Google tools that I write about on this blog and feature in some of my professional development workshops. This week I created my 250th Google tools tutorial. All of my Google tools tutorial videos can be found in this YouTube playlist. The tutorials in the playlist cover a wide range of features of Google tools for teachers and students.

Carlsberg has a new 'snap pack' that dramatically cuts plastic waste
In what Carlsberg (CABGY) describes as a world first, the Danish company will introduce a new "Snap Pack" where cans are bonded together with glue. It claims the new packaging will reduce plastic waste globally by more than 1,200 tonnes a year — the equivalent of 60 million plastic bags. Plastic rings, which have been used on multipacks of canned drinks for decades, pose a risk to wildlife and have been heavily linked to increased ocean pollution. "We are working hard to deliver on our ambitious sustainability agenda and to help tackle climate change," Cees 't Hart, CEO of Carlsberg Group, said in a statement. "We look forward to giving our consumers better beer experiences with less environmental impact." The "Snap Pack" will first be introduced to the United Kingdom on September 10 in a number of Tesco (TSCDF) supermarkets, and will debut in some other European markets from late September.
Design Thinking and Other Priorities for Education in the Automation Economy
This post was originally published by The 74. From a drafting board to Autocad, from a legal pad to a tablet, from eight-track tapes to downloads, my 40-year career spanned the information age from beginning to end. As monumental as those changes have been, my granddaughter may see an order of magnitude more change in her life. The election of 2016 signaled the end of the information age and the beginning of the automation age. With terrible force, 2017 ended with a series of once-in-a-century storms heralding a new era of urbanization, globalization, and automation, human systems colliding with natural systems in unpredictable ways. We’re one year into this new age, an era of novelty and complexity. This automation age is being driven by artificial intelligence, big data (and internet of things), and enabling technologies (like robotics and CRISPR). The age of automation offers unparalleled opportunity for contributions to health, longevity, safety, and prosperity. How to prepare?

Pourquoi les marques réussissent ? On a trouvé la réponse ! - L'ADN
La formule est connue. "Les gens n'achètent pas ce que vous faites, mais la raison pour laquelle vous le faites." Une histoire de "sens" donc ! Et - très bonne nouvelle - la philosophie est faite pour nous aider à le trouver. Une tribune signé Philippe Nassif. De la philo en entreprise ! Entreprise et philosophie : voilà une rencontre plutôt incongrue. A cette question, c’est Simon Sinek qui a récemment donné la meilleure réponse. Ca marche pour Martin Luther King — qui n’a pas dit « j’ai un programme » mais bien « j’ai un rêve ». Bref, pas d’entreprise qui réussit sans une puissante raison d’être. "Pourquoi", le repère essentiel de l'action Or voilà : la question du pourquoi est loin d’être étrangère à la philosophie. Non pas le désir vécu comme un manque douloureux. Surtout, si la pratique philosophique a ici son mot à dire, c’est qu’elle est d’abord un véritable centre d’entraînement au « pourquoi ? Apprendre à questionner, argumenter, définir Comment on fait maintenant ?
M&S is transforming its marketing team into specialists rather than generalists
Marks & Spencer (M&S) is restructuring its marketing team to take a “specialist rather than generalist” approach to ensure it has “absolute expertise” in everything it does and is a business fit for a future online. From visual merchandising and paid search, to CRM and search engine optimisation, a number of specialist teams have been brought into the function, which M&S says is allowing it to work in a much more agile and collaborative way than it has done in the past. “We’ve structured the marketing with agile teams in order to be able to respond to things like changing weather; or when products sell out online we are able to respond really quickly in terms of the content we’re serving up to customer, making sure we’re contextually relevant through channels,” explains Nathan Ansell, marketing director of clothing and home, speaking to Marketing Week.
