France Info y était #7 : Pompéi vit son dernier jour : France Info y était (7/7)
Pompéi, martyr pour les vivants, bénédiction pour les historiens Pompéi n'avait rien pour entrer dans l'histoire. C'était une cité moyenne de l'Empire romain, prospère grâce à un climat plutôt tempéré pour la région, aux eaux poissonneuses et à la terre fertile, en particulier sur les pentes d'une montagne qu'on ne pensait pas, alors, être un volcan. La destruction de la cité a été si brutale que nous ne disposons que d'une seule source – ce qui est déjà exceptionnel -, deux lettres écrites par Pline le Jeune qui raconte à l'historien Tacite le drame vécu par son oncle, Pline l'Ancien.

Companies are quickly learning that visual media is one of the most effective ways to share their stories. Here's why.
The world’s biggest social media properties have quickly made visual content a huge priority, often designing or re-designing their entire platforms to nurture such media. Pinterest proved that stunning visuals generate monumental engagement, and YouTube continues to produce hoards of original content in response to user demand.
Brands, take note.
M Booth partnered with social analytics company SimplyMeasure to measure engagement data and produce the following infographic. M Booth recently released Framed, a storytelling tool that helps brands create visual content to engage their digital communities.

Jazz has always been a good metaphor for the art of leadership. InYes to the Mess, Frank Barrett, knocks out of the park. How do we create a culture where people can innovate? Barrett wants us to look at leadership differently and increase our leadership repertoire beyond hierarchical models, “so that we more fully appreciate the power of relationships.” And in that he succeeds.

By Matt Levinson It's connected educator month.
There’s a flurry of activity among teachers and administrators looking to connect through Twitter and other social media to advance their learning, especially as a new school year looms. As schools gear up and prepare for a new school year with technology increasingly ubiquitous, now’s the time to consider how schools can create a positive impact with technology.
Professor Alec Couros captures the essential element for schools to keep in mind as they move forward with technology initiatives. In an interview with Howard Rheingold for Digital Media and Learning, he comments on the need to focus on “what will endure,” the importance of connections and relationships to help foster, build and sustain the life of the “networked” teacher.

Surfing the web. Social networking. Shopping. Even the most innocuous online activities can pose a threat to our nation’s cybersecurity, and all Americans should play a part in protecting it.
That’s the message behind the seventh annual National Cybersecurity Awareness Month this October. Sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Cybersecurity Awareness Month encourages the practice of good “cyber hygiene”: taking simple precautions to reduce the cyber risks to our national and economic security. “Our nation is more reliant on computer networks than ever—networks that connect individuals, government, and the private sector. And therefore our nation’s cybersecurity is increasingly dependent upon our citizens’ cyber awareness,” said John Denning, Director of External Affairs at DHS’ Office of Cybersecurity and Communications.

Businesses may no longer be able to turn away employees who want to bring their smartphones and tablets to work, and connect to the corporate network.
Even the government acknowledges that it can't prevent the use of personal devices for work-related functions, reports Marcos Colón.
With more than 60,000 employees, Cisco Systems has embraced the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon, defined as the burgeoning penetration of personal smartphones, tablets and laptops into the workplace.
Gust MEES: While using BYOD and Social Media, teachers need to have knowledge of basic IT-Security (they must learn it...)! It's NOT ONLY the IT-Admin's and Technical Coordinator's role! This basic knowledge they should share with their learners to make the community stronger for a more secure Internet...

Dans une économie de la production, la création de valeur est fondée sur le territoire, le travail et le capital.
Dans une économie du savoir, la création de valeur dépend principalement des idées et de l'innovation qui se trouvent dans la tête des gens.
La performance d’une entreprise dépend donc de sa capacité à mobiliser l'intelligence collective et les connaissances.
S'il faut et s'il faudra toujours savoir produire et vendre, ce n'est plus aujourd'hui un facteur suffisamment différenciateur dans la compétition internationale.
Hier, l'entreprise était industrielle et commerciale, demain il faudra qu'elle soit de plus en plus une entreprise intelligente.
Dans ce cadre, le coaching apparaît comme un outil puissant. En savoir plus : http://communicationorganisation.revues.org/3353

Christophe Colomb découvre une nouvelle route vers les Indes, ou l'histoire d'un événement qui n'est pas celui qu'on croyait Christophe Colomb n'est pas le premier à avoir eu l'idée de partir au grand large pour découvrir une nouvelle route vers les Indes. Beaucoup ont cette idée en tête dans les années 1480. Tout d'abord parce que, pour tous les savants de l'époque, et depuis au moins un siècle et demi, il est admis que la terre est ronde, confirmant les thèses d'Aristote et Ptolémée . Ensuite parce que les navigateurs peuvent alors compter sur l'amélioration technique de la caravelle qui, depuis quelques années, était devenue plus maniable et plus rapide notamment grâce à l'usage de voiles carrées pour l'allure et de voiles latines pour les manœuvres.

Kids today! Whippersnappers! When we were their age, we walked uphill both ways to school with only one shoe! With a hole in it! And it was raining, snowing, and hailing at the same time! Also? Tornadoes! And dadgum, we liked it!
But time’s arrow shoots in only one direction, and today’s students at all education levels and abilities must turn and face it as changes settle in academic year after academic year, sometimes slowly, sometimes not so much.
What they eventually mean for the future of education obviously remains to be seen, but for now they definitely stand as something different than before.
