Ecological Literacy – Systems thinking! | Foreign State

Ecological Literacy – Systems thinking! | Foreign State | Educating an educator | Scoop.it

This essay is adapted from a speech Fritjof Capra delivered at a professional development institute, “Linking Food, Health, and the Environment,” hosted by the Center for Ecoliteracy and Teachers College Columbia University in the summer of 2008.

Dunja's insight:

“The whole is more than the sum of its parts.” Understanding life requires a shift of focus from objects to relationships. relationships cannot be measured and weighed; relationships need to be mapped. Systems thinking involves a shift of perspective from contents to patterns. Systems thinking implies a shift from quantity to quality. A pattern is not a list of numbers but a visual image. living form is more than a shape, more than a static configuration of components in a whole.

All You Need to Know About Infographics: Tips, Tutorials, Guides | Educating an educator | Scoop.it

Let’s be honest, we don’t like to read big pieces of text. Text-heavy graphs are rather difficult for understanding, especially when dealing with numbers and statistics. That is why illustrations and flowcharts are often used for such kind of information.

An infographic, or a visual representation of study or data, like anything else, can be done right or wrong. How to create a successful infographic? A good idea and a good design.

 

Stop by the link for more on what defines an infographic, what contributes to its popularity, as well as the various types of infographics and references for tutorials and best practices.

Manifesto for Agile Software Development

We are uncovering better ways of developing softwareby doing it and helping others do it. These are ourvalues and principles.
Marko Rakić's comment, October 5, 2012 11:32 AM
Did you know that Pair programming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_programming) is one of the principal techniques when it comes to Agile software development? Crazy stuff. Turns out that paired programmers are only 15% slower than two independent individual programmers, but produce 15% fewer bugs.
