ThinkBuzan The Age of Coworking: Collaborative Consumption for the Creative Community Report Maria Popova Many coworking spaces are housed in meticulously designed lofts. Photo from Green Spaces, NYC. The shift from an ownership economy to an economy of sharing has been one of the most important movements of the past few years – a concept most eloquently captured in Rachel Botsman's notion of collaborative consumption. A rapidly proliferating number of coworking spaces worldwide is attracting creative entrepreneurs and freelancers across the entire spectrum of vocations, from startup founders to professional proofreaders. In New York City alone, dozens such coworking spaces exist. Coworking spaces fused with incubators are even popping up under the wings of existing funds. I've recently had the pleasure and privilege of joining studiomates — a stunning all-white loft in DUMBO with a magnificent view of the East River and Lower East Side. Mine, too. Not sure how to find one? And, perhaps most important, how many people get to call their office their happy place?
WHAT THE F***K IS “MIND MAPPING” ? « 4EYES4INNOVATION ! Le Mind Mapping, qui consiste en la création de "Mind Maps" ou encore de "cartes heuristiques", tout le monde en a entendu parler, sait plus ou moins ce que sait (en effet, le principe n’est pas difficile à imaginer), mais qu’en pensez-vous réellement ? Avez-vous testé cette technique ? Qu’est-ce que cela vous a apporté ? Ou alors pourquoi ne l’avez-vous pas fait ? Manque de temps ? de concentration,…? Il serait vraiment intéressant de connaître l’usage d’une telle méthode au sein des entreprises. Alors avant de vous laisser consulter les slideshares qui aident à mieux comprendre cette technique, son potentiel et ses bénéfices, il nous faut faire la différence entre concept maps et mind maps. Les concepts maps sont des représentations de champ du savoir, où la personne va tenter de faire des liens entre les différents concepts de son graphique. Vous trouverez alors ici plus d’informations et de liens sur les concept maps. Ici un Slideshare avec des exemples de Mind Mapping Like this:
Official Mind Mapping software by Tony Buzan Coworking global survey: 42% of all coworkers report earning a higher income since joining a coworking space | Coworking Europe 2010 A few days ago, Deskmag, the coworking magazine, launched a worldwide survey, in order to investigate the motivations of the users of coworking spaces.

Le Mind Mapping ou la Prise de Notes dynamique Le Mind Mapping, ou carte heuristique en français, est une technique de prise de notes originale qui vise à organiser les informations autour d’une idée centrale. Cette technique peut être qualifiée de « dynamique » dans la mesure où elle pousse l’utilisateur à reformuler les idées afin d’en extraire les éléments clés avant de les noter. Cette méthode de prise de note, déjà largement utilisée dans les écoles finlandaises par exemple, offre de nombreuses possibilités pour les étudiants tant en termes d’usages que d’efficacité. Introduction au Mind Mapping Le Mind Mapping est née de quelques constats simples. La vue est notre « sens » le plus développé. En effet, comme le montre le graphique ci-dessous, lors d’un entretien nous retenons principalement les gestes, le regard, et l’attitude de notre interlocuteur. La "règle" du 7%-38%-55% ou « règle des 3V » (verbale, vocale, visuel), résultat de l’étude sur la communication menée par Albert Mehrabian en 1967. Un enfant apprend en s’amusant.
Top 5 Mind Mapping Tools For Android Of all the learning methods in the world, mind mapping has been regarded as one of the best and the most efficient ones around. A mind map is basically a diagram that represents various ideas, words, or tasks, and links them together branching out from one single idea. The reason these spider-like diagrams work well is the fact that they facilitate learning in a more visual manner as opposed to the tedious process of going through long texts. Though the easiest way to start mind mapping is using a pen and paper, many people actually prefer taking the help of software. Connected Mind Connected Mind is one of the most feature-laden mind-mapping apps for Android. Mind Map Memo This free app lets you draw mind maps in a neat, intuitive way. Smart Diagram Pro Actually a diagramming tool, Smart Diagram Pro can also be used as a great mind mapping application. Mindjet Mindjet, earlier known as Thinking Space Pro, is an app for capturing and organizing information. MindMeister

Prendre des notes collaborativement en philosophie La prise de notes en cours de philosophie est un problème récurrent : peu autonomes dans la gestion des données, les élèves sont vite dépassés par la densité d'un contenu réflexif qui ne se laisse pas aisément réduire aux formules habituelles. La tentation est forte de se laisser porter par le flux du discours, au risque de ne rien retenir ou de décrocher rapidement. Un professeur bruxellois présente une réponse à cette difficulté au 5ème Forum des enseignants innovants. François Jourde, professeur de philosophie à l'École Européenne de Bruxelles, a choisi d'employer les outils numériques pour y remédier. Une idée inspirée en partie par les élèves eux-mêmes : un jour qu'il menaçait de ramasser et noter les cahiers de cours, il voit certains élèves se ruer sur leurs Smartphones. « J'ai réalisé qu'ils étaient bien plus agiles sur le clavier, avec leurs outils d'aide à l'écriture, qu'ils ne l'étaient avec un stylo pour noter rapidement les idées. Panacée ? Jeanne-Claire Fumet
United States Constitution Mindmap free mind map download About this mind map As the US Congress finalizes the details on a $700 billion dollar bailout for the US financial system and as we, American citizens, make up our mind about who will be the next President of the United States, I thought it appropriate that we all reflect on our rights as US citizens. The foundation of those rights is found in the US Constitution, a document signed by America's forefathers on Sept. 17, 1787. This document was by no means perfect when it was signed. After all, at the time of its signing there was still slavery and women could not vote. But there was something “perfect “ about the document found in its Preamble. In the Preamble are the words, “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union…” What makes these words perfect is that the American forefathers knew they themselves were not perfect. The American forefathers understood that this would be a journey. Today, we face more tough choices as we “make our union more perfect”.
