"rlaexp.com = Real Life Adventures + Exploration
... This page is an introductory brainroad for exploring some of the major aspects of our unfolding knowledge economy and knowledge society.
... The purpose of this entire site: preparing for a different world and different future across multiple time spans in one’s life and the lives of those connected to you through time: associates in your organizations across time and parent to child to grandchild. Additionally, every topic can be viewed from several vantage points: a top manager looking at other organization members; organization members looking at each other; citizens looking at organizations and their members; an organization looking for acquisition targets … There are serious implications attached to each of these and they are in the news almost everyday." from source: http://rlaexp.com/
This very long page prints out to be 60 pages long, but it is full of facts, images, knowledge, wisdom, controversial notions, ideas, excitement, and more thoughtful information than I have seen together in one place for a long time. It is one of those resources that becomes a starting point or at least a side journey for those who are engaged in information technology, communication, collaboration, computing, and applied knowledge.

"'Knowledge management presentation McKinsey' This Prezi Slideshare from the McKinsey group explains how they use Knowledge Management (KM). They view KM in two forms: Possession based and Practice based. Possession based KM is where 'Knowledge in an entity/object, and can exist separate from people via codification.' Where as Practice based KM is when 'Knowledge is "Knowing" and in in separable from human activity.' The presentation goes on to demonstrate the differences between the two and how Practice based KM is more supportive and productive for ongoing culture of an organization due to it's close contact with those persons who develop and use knowledge both tacitly and implicitly." from source: http://youtu.be/btsTaNQJhW4
This was a very informative presentation about the two side of Knowledge Management. Over time I have been exposed to Possession and Practice. Intuitively I followed the path of Possession based KM due to my interest in the culture and workforce aspects of KM. This is a brief 10 minute overview, but packs in a lot of good and sound comparisons between the two types of Knowledge Management. I highly recommend it.
One additional note: This presentation was developed using Prezi. The designers used the application very well and didn't make the viewer dizzy by spinning, zooming too fast, or using other visual tricks that overwhelmed the content. Again, Well Done!

Whether you're a photographer, an editor or an art school student, Stampsy is the place where your creative ideas are shaped into beautiful digital experiences. We call them Stamps and they're a completely new online format for framing your talent and sharing content on the web. At a time of rapidly increasing opportunities for storytelling and visual expression, Stampsy is the place where digital content comes to life.
Stampsy is a new iPad app for creating digital content. The steps are easy to follow - add images and text to your page using drag-and-drop method. Change colours or fonts, and design the page as you like.
The result you'll get is a linear presentation with great visual potential, perfect for storytelling purposes.
There is a small inconvenience though - you will need a Facebook account to use the application.
The app is free. Download it here https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stampsy/id582398120?mt=8
Stampsy is an interesting graphic tool currently for the iPad. It has a few necessry tools such as Headline, Text, Images, Colour Palette, Various Fonts, and best of all it is limited to 10 pages. If Powerpoints were limited to 10 pages I wonder how much real information would be lost? No doubt we'd see the important information. Check it out.
Teachers could use this site to help them meet the Common Core recommendations of bringing in technology whenever possible.

"Digital Humanism
. . . Technology has bequeathed to the liberal arts a new, more expansive life. But the liberal arts also have lessons to bequeath, and we ignore them at our peril.
. . . We are in the midst of a great sea change. Humanists are swimming, and occasionally sinking, in an embarrassment of informational riches. The hierarchies that historically made the liberal arts possible are crumbling. Like it or not, technology is the driving force in a new, digital humanism
. . . If we take from the liberal arts one guideline on how to inhabit an increasingly non-analog world, it should be this digital humanities mission statement: 'to remain aware of the uncertain, varied, unruly terrain of human existence even as that existence gets represented in digital form.'" from source: https://medium.com/technology-liberal-arts/
This blog post while focused on the Digital Humanities can be applied to many other disciplines that traditionally did not engage with computers. Well, there are always exceptions, but the use of information technology, communications, and computing were not pervasive.
I remember way back when the Macintosh first came out. I was supporting academic computing for the University of North Carolina System which included the contract for microcomputers. I have a Masters of Fine Arts and so when I planned a visit to one campus I called the Dean of the School of the Arts. I explained I'd like to show her this new computer that supported drawing, typography, and foreign language much better than anything else we had. A new first for the Arts. She wasn't interested. She said that the only computer she needed was between her ears, a pencil in her hand for output, and paper to draw on. Times have changed. A sub-text of this tale is that Technology continues to change for better and sometimes worse. It is important to keep an open mind. It is also important to listen to both sides of discussions about the applications and their value. At the moment I feel deja vu with Cloud Computing and the olde days of Mainframes in glass rooms. What would you do if you couldn't access all the Google apps and services for a week or a month? Some say no problem, others would suffer.
As the author of the blog says about a digital humanities mission statement, "to remain aware of the uncertain, varied, unruly terrain of human existence even as that existence gets represented in digital form." Keep your eyes open, look for opportunities, and watch your back. Thanks to @verbagetruck for the reminder.

A short film about using a 3D printer and a long distance collaboration to create a simple and effective robotic hand for children and adults.
MORE INFORMATION makerbot.com/robohand robohand.blogspot.com
MAKE A ROBOHAND thingiverse.com/thing:44150
This shows how a home 3D printer from Makerbot is able to rapidly prototype and even create working products that help people survive. 3D printing is often associated with corporate design or art or other things. This is the first case I have seen a 3D printer used to improve mobility and physically aiding people to have more normal lives.
Keep in mind this is a good model that communities, agencies, maker space participants should follow. We have many veterans returning from the current and recent "police actions" over seas who need prosthetic supplements. Get cracking folks! Tinker! Make! and let's help each other.
