I think the iPad is just the right device at the right time, bringing a book-sized intuitive interface to millions of households with kids overnight. Within just months of getting an iPad, my child & I began reading nearly 50% of all our kid’s books in the form of iPad apps. This revolution is also fueled by the unique quality of ‘apps’ themselves. These small, discrete bits of software can be downloaded from anywhere in the world, then deleted and ‘stored’ in the ‘cloud’ for re-downloading anytime, like a library at your fingertips. They even ‘update’ for free most of the time, staying compatible with the latest OS. It also doesn’t hurt that ‘apps’ are hip. And the prices are remarkable, compared to new print picture books, making them extremely accessible (although the price-point of the device itself will likely remain a barrier to true accessibility for some time).

There is plenty of advice out there on how to create a great presentation. Most of it centers on two pretty common pieces of advice: Tell more stories.Use bigger fonts. Neither is always easy to do, but the more events I attend – the more I realize a single fact that still manages to surprise me about why people do (or don’t) connect with you as a speaker.
Having a good story or great visuals is not enough. Via Gregg Morris

Having witnessed two academic lecturers within two days, neither of whom could keep my attention, I'm once again convinced that a great story and no visuals is a no-no for today's audience. Academia looking down on storifying their material miss an opportunity. Looking down on New Media is downright "uneducated". This is a bit beside the point made above, the timing triggers this comment.

A theme with tons of tripped-out functionality, busy graphics or way too many options just creates a learning curve that’s complicated and way too long.

If you have a PC, Amazon has a free Kindle book that allows downloading Ebooks through Kindle - often at significantly reduced price from print books. With the addition of this plugin, these books can also be read aloud if the Kindle book has text-to-speech enabled (check for every book -publishers vary). Read more.

Barriers persist in our willingness to embrace this technology in schools. Some of our most dedicated and knowledgeable teachers and tutors remain convinced that listening to text is "not REALLY reading!" As my friend Ben Foss @benfoss points out there are three ways to read: eye reading, ear reading, and finger reading. Let's do what ever works best is any situation.
The benefits to all children who want to read with their ears as well as their eyes are many. How many of those same teachers who feel that listening to a book is not really 'reading' would not dream of preparing thier IRS Return without a calculator? Is using a calculator "not really doing math or not really paying your taxes???

Hypertext markup language popularly known as HTML is one of the widely accepted language that is adopted worldwide to develop and upload the required content on the World Wide Web. The technique forms the core of any website designing and development project. Owing to the effective role it plays and the need of the hour, new and enhanced versions of it has been introduced by the web developers. HTML5 is the enhanced version of this traditional formatting language and includes a package of attractive features like cross compatibility, SEO, device support storage, and browsing. This new HTML version helps incorporate and build on more interactive website design that includes amazing animations and effects. The codes support the animations which are developed from a latest drawing tag feature. Delete the scoop?

Karen Dietz's curator insight,
March 6, 6:34 PM
You know, these all sound like great ideas. And you might want to use a few in your organization. Here's the caveat though -- in my story work with organizations, when they use some of these methods to generate stories, what they sometimes get are NOT stories. More often they are poorly crafted stories. But the organization thinks what they get are fine. Unfortunately, because they are sub-par, so are their results. The solution? Either formally train folks in storytelling, or make sure the collected stories are well crafted by someone trained in storytelling. Someone trained in marketing, journalism or PR might not work -- again, personal experience speaks. These ideas are creative but treat them wisely. And treat your storytelling seriously to maximize your results. Thanks Gregg Morris for finding and sharing this article.

This article shows that it's possible to create a storytelling culture in organisations. However, I think that 'tips' are not enough and there are quite some managers who go for the 'quick win' and 'quick read'. Creating a storytelling culture takes time (not toi mention the maintenance of that, the greatest challenge). If anyone is inspired by this article, I would suggest reading Annette Simmon's 'The Story Factor' and 'Whoever tells the best story wins'. It's all in there...

We all have stories to tell. Our individual stories make the our collective stories. Our stories define who we are. This is a great way to collect stories in organizations. The trick will be to convince people that storytelling is a value added contribution. We tell stories to children because we believe in them but somehow we forget as we get older Delete the scoop?

The ongoing success of the iPad is creating amazing opportunities for independent mags. We speak to four small publishers making the most of it.“I already had a MacBook, Apple’s development tools were free to download and the developer’s fee was only $99 a year, so I wasn’t taking much risk to explore, plus I had a ton of free time to take up the challenge,” says Moore. “As soon as I got some apps in the Store, I realised I could sell them for a few dollars and make almost the same kinds of profits, if not more, from the apps. I didn’t have to worry about distribution because it was in the App Store. All I had to do was promote a link.” Delete the scoop?
