Leadership Think Tank

Extrait (traduction libre) :

"En faisant de la "curation" avec Scoop.it, les élèves utilisent les compétences de pensée critique pour collecter, évaluer et analyser le contenu, ils peuvent identifier les tendances du discours, ils développent des compétences d'écriture dans l'expression originale, et ils interagissent, communiquent et publient à un public mondial. Mais peut-être plus important encore, les élèves pratiquent la citoyenneté numérique et la responsabilité personnelle à l'apprentissage continu."

How many do you have?

(From the article): To learn, we need to be curious. To lead, we need to have followers. To be strong, we need to be vulnerable. To give, we need to receive.

Love this post about leadership and duality...

Yes, Conscious Leadership comes from within.

And, it's about starting with ourselves because we are, first and foremost, the leaders of our own lives...

I love the idea of holding two thoughts at once....and how that must help inform our leadership practices.

Here's an inspiring short article by Elia Morling on the role of curators in storytelling.

Elia reports of a discussion he has had with netnographerOlga Kravets, in which she suggested that: "...curators serve their tribe like dumpster divers. 

They dive into containers to rummage through heaps of garbage to find useful stuff that can be re-purposed. When they are done they bring forth their scavenged gifts to their tribe."

But here, is the most compelling part as Elia really seems to have distilled and illustrated here the three key and most valuable traits of a modern content curator:

a) Curators represent a new type of tribal leadership that operates bottom-up and peer to peer. 

b) As a member of a tribe, curators will always be more native and relevant than any outsiders will ever be.

c) Within a tribe they are not only appreciated for leveraging their insider skills, but for sustaining and developing their culture."

Definitely worth reading. Inspiring. 8/10

Clearly for Gandhi the word nonviolence meant much more than the absence of war or the absence of violence. He proved that the true practice of nonviolence is also about people’s attitudes, behavior and relationships not only with each other but with nature and earth as well.

At the end of 2012, comScore estimated there were 52.4 million tablet owners in the U.S.; Applesold another 19.5 million iPads in the first three months of 2013 alone. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some companies, such as Roambi, Tableau, and Bloomberg are starting to offer mobile, touch-aware data visualization apps.

But dropping your desktop user interface onto a tablet doesn’t really take the best advantage of all of those touches and gestures now, does it?

................................................

here are plenty of open design questions to work out for touchable data visualization: How to make intuitive gestures that are easy to discover and remember, whether touch may have advantages in data storytelling interfaces, and how to blend gestures into more traditional UI designs, among others. And deep research questions are also waiting to be resolved. Petra Isenberg, a researcher at INRIA in France, published a paper on data visualization on interactive surfaces that stipulates some key questions: “[We] don’t fully understand how touching virtual data affects comprehension or memorability of information,” she writes.

So whether you’re a practitioner or a researcher, there is a lot to work on here. Not only will tablet usage continue to grow, but other opportunities for museum installations, kiosks, and large-format presentation systems offer plenty of use-contexts to explore data visualization that takes advantage of the full interaction bandwidth afforded by these new displays and devices
