Paul Avila's curator insight, November 30, 2013 9:21 PM

This is a pretty good article for teachers who are trying to divert from the traditional methods of leading the class. The main focus should be the steps given, which are easy to learn and broad enough to adapt any classroom. I would recommend others use this article as a guideline to how you should lead the class room. I like the idea of imagining the role as a "learner first."

From Now To How: Social, Virtual and Cross Generational Leadership

From Now To How: Social, Virtual and Cross Generational Leadership | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

You can criticize, condemn and complain or imagine, inspire and innovate. Your choice will determine your destiny. – Deepak Chopra

 

Hope lies in not simply playing to strengths, but to seizing every challenge, change, stressor and failure as an opportunity to grow, evolve and expand the power of our minds, the strength of our brains and the capacity of our hearts.

 

Courage lies in our ability develop a whole new mind set, skill set and heart set that optimizes the unbridled passion, purpose and potential of humans to do better, rather than simply living or working faster than ever before.

Educational Leadership:Technology-Rich Learning: Our Brains Extended

Educational Leadership:Technology-Rich Learning: Our Brains Extended | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Founded in 1943, ASCD (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) is an educational leadership organization dedicated to advancing best practices and policies for the success of each learner.

 

"What's past is prologue," wrote Shakespeare. We must begin to think far more seriously about what our current education is prologue to—and whether that's now enough. No longer is the unenhanced brain the wisest thing on the planet. Students who don't have technology's powerful new capabilities at their command at every turn are not better 21st century humans but lesser ones.

Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, March 8, 2013 9:27 PM

The fact that many adults would dispute this statement illustrates how few understand the extent to which the world has changed in our kids' lifetimes, and the role technology now plays. Let me clarify: Technology isn't about new "stuff." It's not about laptops, iPads, cell phones, or the software kids use. It's not about different ways to do what we do now. And it's certainly not about what we should or shouldn't allow kids access to. All those ways of seeing technology are misleading.

Technology, rather, is an extension of our brains; it's a new way of thinking. It's the solution we humans have created to deal with our difficult new context of variability, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. The human mind, as powerful as it is, is no longer powerful enough for our world; the old "tried and true" human capabilities just aren't enough. Technology provides us with the new and enhanced capabilities we need. So technology isn't something we need in addition to mental activity; technology is now part of mental activity. And we need to use it wisely.

+/- 30 years ago I started with Home-Computers, a TRS-80 from Radio Shack with ONLY 8K Memory and a Monochrome Monitor (YOU can laugh...) and I followed the progress of Technology by upgrading, Commodore C-64, Commodore C-128, and so on... Till I got used to PC's, upgrading again + again... Lots of experience behind...

 

And with PC's and Mac's came ALSO the RISK's, the what WE call NOW Cyber-Security, Attacks and so on...

 

And as Ana Christina PRATAS says (I agree completely to that): So technology isn't something we need in addition to mental activity; technology is now part of mental activity. And we need to use it wisely.

5 Ways to Lead with Emotional Intelligence -- and Boost Productivity - Forbes

5 Ways to Lead with Emotional Intelligence -- and Boost Productivity - Forbes | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

More emotional intelligence, is what our world strongly need. This excellent post say all what you need to know about this subject. [note Martin Gysler]

 

Employees today are much more aware of whether or not they are a good fit in their workplace culture and they want their leaders to be more mindful of their needs. In general, employees have become more sensitive about how to best co-exist in a workplace environment that allows them to be who they naturally are.

 

Employees are tired of playing games and just want to be themselves. As such, they are managing their careers and looking to advance by searching for jobs that truly fuel their passion, fulfill their desires, and ignite their real talent. For most, today’s economic landscape has made the career management journey extra challenging. And beyond career advancement opportunities, people want their supervisors and leaders to be more in touch with who they are as people (not just as their colleagues) to assure that their career track is in proper alignment with and supports their personal and professional goals.

Leadership mantra : Possible vs Impossible.

Leadership mantra : Possible vs Impossible. | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Possible is a state of mind!


You have certainly heard, on numerous occasions, people say, “that’s impossible.” What did you do with that? Here lies the difference between success and failure.

 

If we listen to such people, it is certain that we will abandon. Otherwise, we will continue and put the odds on our side to make things possible.

 

We live in a world where pessimism and lack of courage is part of the lives of many people. It’s what makes me say, that here we see clearly the difference between a leader and a follower.
