Pearltrees : la bibliothèque aux 100 milles curateurs Lorsqu’on lui demande quel est son parcours, il pousse un soupir “j’ai fait pas mal de choses” : ingénieur, chercheur en sociologie, consultant en stratégie dans les médias…. L’idée de Pearltrees lui serait venue alors qu’il publiait un papier dans la revue française de sciences politiques en 2006 sur la théorie des réseaux mais qui “n’avait rien à voir avec le web”. A l’époque, on se demandait si des initiatives comme Wikipedia et Youtube allaient fonctionner. Une bibliothèque augmentée Tout d’abord Pearltrees permet d’organiser le contenu que vous visitez sur le Web. Le pearltrees de TedX Paris Rajoutez y une pointe de curation et l’on obtient cette nouveauté qui fait mouche. « Organiser le contenu comme une bibliothèque, mais ouverte .» Comme le rappelle Patrice Lamothe, si le terme Curation fait couler beaucoup d’encre, ce n’es pas l’effet de mode sur un mot qu’il faut retenir mais bien une pratique des utilisateurs. L’évolution du web au service d’un business plan efficace.

A Product Manager’s Musings A Product Manager’s Musings A Product Manager is a strange occupation in Silicon Valley. You’re the mini CEO. But not really. You’re the jack of all trades but master of none. You’re the one with all the power and yet none at the very same time. You’re the one with all the responsibility and yet have none at the very same time. And truthfully, all of these are true, and none of them are true. Seriously, being a product manager sometimes feels like you’re in some awful Zen koan riddle that you think you found the answer to, but really never do. So I’ve been a SaaS product manager on the Enterprise side now for five years. And at the five year mark, I think I finally understand why. Don’t worry if Engineering hates you. I can’t imagine a relationship more setup from the start to be naturally antagonistic. Engineering automatically see you as the enemy. Why? If you have an Engineering background they see you as meddlesome and annoying. If you don’t, they see you as useless and incompetent.

Apple Spam Email Patent Pédagogie Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. La pédagogie (du grec παιδαγωγία, direction ou éducation des enfants[1]) désigne l'art de l'éducation. Le terme rassemble les méthodes et pratiques d'enseignement et d'éducation ainsi que toutes les qualités requises pour transmettre une connaissance, un savoir ou un savoir-faire. Plus généralement, l'expression « Faire preuve de pédagogie » signifie l'aptitude à enseigner et à transmettre à un individu ou un groupe d'individus — de tous âges et de toutes conditions — un savoir ou une expérience par l'usage des méthodes les plus adaptées à l'audience concernée. Définitions[modifier | modifier le code] Le mot « pédagogie » dérive du grec παιδαγωγία, de παιδός (/'paɪdɔr/), « l'enfant », et ἄγω (/'a.gɔ/), « conduire, mener, accompagner, élever ». Émile Durkheim : la pédagogie est une "réflexion appliquée aussi méthodiquement que possible aux choses de l'éducation" (L'évolution pédagogique en France, Paris, PUF, 1938, p. 10).

Project-Based Learning Made Easy "Project-based learning is great but it is too hard for teachers to do well." I have heard this belief stated more times than I can count. Is PBL really so difficult that only a select number of masterful teachers, innovative schools, and dynamic school leaders can pull off high quality projects? I don't think so. In the service of inspiring educators to embrace a performance-based approach to teaching, learning and assessment by highlighting great projects, I am worried that we actually dissuade teachers and leaders from using this approach. To dramatically increase the number of students and teachers engaging in project-based learning and performance assessment we need to highlight examples that are attainable. Academic Rigor -- Ask a Question In addition to mapping from state content standards, we use inquiry as driver for almost all projects, units and lessons. Balanced Assessment -- Write an Essay with a Rubric Active Exploration and Adult Connections -- Conduct an Interview

What Does Feature Creep Look Like? When you think about feature creep and bloated products what comes to mind? Endless tabs, toolbars, settings, and preferences, right? For a 5 year period you couldn’t sit through a UX talk without seeing some variation of this infamous Microsoft Word screenshot as example of the need for simplicity… Poor UI such as that above highlights the cost of feature creep. To solve feature creep you need to identify which features are being adopted by everyone, and which ones are struggling to gain traction. Analyse Adoption per feature The X axis is each feature in your product and the Y axis is the percentage of customers1 who are using2 the feature3. Customers: Which customers? Features struggle for adoption for lots of reasons, users don’t see the value in using it, they find it too complicated, it’s hidden somewhere clever in your product, they’re the wrong type of users, and dozens more.

@ Aroman I was thinking to my proper thinking about "democratizing PT". It's maybe too radical. ^^ by alwen Jun 9

@aroman: Yeah, that's why we all do understand team team PT's decision to replace v1 by v2 without considering any user complaints.
The second point is that PT's users might say "no" as well to PT's product stategy and use something else instead. by deuxpont Jun 8

"Lots of bad ideas can be built quickly. Don’t be seduced. There are no small changes. Also, even the tiniest additions add hidden complexity that isn’t accounted for in the “but it’s just 5 minutes” estimate." -this is a real good article by aroman Jun 8

Oh I guess I have understand what is "democratize" then for PT, essentialy lower-leveled. Make branchs require some sapiens / some intelligence and usual users don't need them ?
It's not a great idea, I agree ! :/ by alwen Jun 8

Nice POV, I agree with you. Thank you for that summary. by pascalwicht Jun 8

I found this pearl in the collection of two important members of the Pearltrees' management.
I guess this article explains the behavior of Pearltrees' community management and the managers:
(1) You have to say "no"
(2) No customer can be more important than a good product.
(3) The try to associate v1 with v2 leads to death by preferences.

So, guys. don't get no false expectations about agreements and compromises with team team Pearltrees: There's no use in playing for time.
Either you have to admit that Pearltrees' rudimentary v2 abilities still are powerful enough to use them or you should move your stuff to a good mind managing app asap. by deuxpont Jun 8
