Project Based Learning and iPads/iPods Introducing an irresistible project at the beginning of a unit of study can give students a clear and meaningful reason for learning. Plus, they end up with a product or result that could possibility make a difference in the world! In project based learning students are driven to learn content and skills for an authentic purpose. PBL involves students in explaining their answers to real-life questions, problems, or challenges. It starts with a driving question that leads to inquiry and investigation. Students work to create a product or presentation as their response to the driving question. Technology can be helpful throughout a project, whether students use iPads, Chromebooks, Android tablets, laptops, or desktops.
Retail careers can be made by playing the numbers Ken Kuschei has always loved numbers. But when he took on a job in retail analytics with Longo's two years ago, he raised his skills to a whole new level. 'I'm the one who gets to go through all the data Longo's collects, then I analyze it, and pull out patterns and opportunities to serve customers,' says the director of consumer insights for the Vaughan, Ont.-based grocery retailer. Having previously worked as a business analyst and then with a loyalty program provider, he considers his jump to retail to be a lucky career break. 'I've always had a natural curiosity for numbers and reports and seeing how things are doing. But when Kuschei looks for new people to join his team, there's more on his wish list than an affinity for numbers. 'One of the beauties of this field is that there are a lot of different skills that add value. The Queen's School of Business in Kingston for example, is launching a 10-month master of management analytics program next summer.
Descubriendo las Inteligencias Múltiples El pasado 10 de mayo tuvimos el privilegio de asistir a la conferencia del Dr. Howard Gardner en el Palacio de Congresos de Cataluña, en Barcelona.

10 Of The Best TEDTalks On Improving Education There have been some rumblings that TED Talks may have jumped the shark–a topic our own Nathan Jurgenson took on recently. Either way, there have been some worthwhile talks given on ideas for changing education, and the folks over at TED have done us all a solid by piling 10 of them together in a single post, starting with the ubiquitous Ken Robinson “Bring on the Learning Revolution,” then including Emily Pilloton’s ideas on design in learning, Dan Meyer’s ideas on a potential math makeover, and Diana Laufenberg on the importance of mistakes.. You may have caught most of them, but if you haven’t here’s your chance. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 10 Of The Best TEDTalks On Improving Education
Inteligencia múltiples y iPad: guía completa Inteligencia múltiples y iPad: guía completa Las últimas semanas hemos publicado una serie de posts sobre las inteligencias múltiples vinculadas al iPad, como dispositivo que puede ayudar a desarrollar, consolidar y potenciar las distintas inteligencias de los niños y niñas. Tal y como hemos expuesto anteriormente, el iPad por sí solo difícilmente podrá un catalizador de las inteligencias, pero sus múltiples funcionalidades posibilitan y amplían contextos que enriquecen las inteligencias de los niños y niñas y las aproximan un poco más a un talento significativo. En este sentido, presentamos una guía que recopila de todos los artículos que hemos publicado en relación al iPad y las inteligencias múltiples, para ofrecer una visión completa de la cuestión. 1) Contexto IM y iPad 2) IM y iPad: Visual – Espacial 3) IM y iPad: Interpesonal 4) IM y iPad: Musical 5) IM y iPad: Lingüística 6) IM y iPad: Intrapersonal 7) IM y iPad: Naturalista 8) IM y iPad: Corporal – Cinestésica
Apps for multiple intelligences What makes the iPad brilliant is that it caters to all different intelligences. In fact most apps touch upon all different types of intelligences. I’ve tried to match all of my favorite educational apps with their corresponding intelligences. For those apps that matched with more than one, I’ve used equivalents. For example, Showme and Educreations are interactive whiteboard apps that have got the same functions and both fit in the Visual and Aural box. Just like I don’t believe all students fit only in one intelligence box either. Students can use whichever app they chose to study. Take the brilliant app “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. The debate whether Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences really excist or not has been contested quite a few times. Children do differ in their abilities with different modalities, but teaching the child in his best modality doesn‘t affect his educational achievement.

Is Your Leadership Innovative? Are your leadership actions impeding innovation? Are your change initiatives successfully implemented and delivering the benefits you expected? How is YOUR behavior impacting their ability to delivery results?

(Almost) Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Creativity 1Share Synopsis To be creative can be as simple as seeing something everyone else sees, but thinking what no one else thinks about it. What does it mean to be creative? Creativity is effective novelty. How do creative people think? Creative people tend to utilize a wide range of thinking skills. We have another book in the works that will describe additional strategies for thinking that are common to creative people. In fact, a by-product of having many creative avocations is that creative people have a wider range of knowledge, experience, skills, and techniques to mix and match in novel, interesting and unexpectedly useful ways. Do creative people think differently from ordinary people? Not really. Are creativity and intelligence the same thing? Intelligence and creativity are not the same thing. So high test scores and great grades do not necessarily set creative people apart, especially when young. What can people do to improve their creative potential?
Jonah Lehrer on How to Be Creative The Steve Jobs Way: Seven lessons in business leadership Having spent a couple of days of my holidays reading the Steve Jobs biography I couldn't help but reflect on the remarkable accomplishments of the man and the lessons applicable for business owners everywhere, big or small. This could have been a very long list, but here are the seven things that are most strongly front of mind for me (text is paraphrased and quoted from the book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, (Simon & Schuster, 2011). 1) Focus: When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997 he walked back into a company with low morale, stagnant sales and little sense of purpose. He found a business with ‘tons of products most of them crap, done by deluded teams'. In trying to work out what they were all for Jobs resorted to asking a simple question 'Which one do I tell my friends to buy?' Jobs further simplified the issue by classifying the customer as either Consumer or Pro and the product as either Desktop or Portable. You need to have a collaborative hiring process. Was he smart?
