Cross-Cultural Leadership: How to Create People Alignment (Part 2)

Cross-Cultural Leadership: How to Create People Alignment (Part 2) | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Leadershipwatch – Aad Boot

 

In Part 1 of this series I wrote about the importance of people alignment as a crucial competence for today’s leaders. Especially in a globalized world, where cross-cultural and multinational challenges are becoming more and more a normal part of the leader’s job, leaders need to understand how to create people alignment. In Part 1 I also described how ‘personal alignment’ plays an important role when creating people alignment.

 

This Part 2 is about another crucial element of people alignment: ‘team alignment’.

"Digital-Divide" Is Not an Excuse to Avoid Implementing a BYOD Policy at Your School

"Digital-Divide" Is Not an Excuse to Avoid Implementing a BYOD Policy at Your School | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The 21st Century Principal

 

I do not buy into the argument of "no access for anyone until everyone can have it." Instead, I think we must do what Marc Prensky argues which is to find ways to "Bridge and eliminate this digital divide" and provide digital access to our students. As Prensky suggests, we are going to have to accept that there is always going to be some inequality, but there are things we should be doing as educators to mediate the impact of the digital divide, and trying to keep the playing field level by refusing anyone access until all have it is not the ethical thing to do.

 

As educators we must be concerned with our "students wanting or needing access to a minimal level of digital technology and not being able to get it."

===> 4. Thou shalt take safety precautions <===

 

The internet is a gateway to a wonderful new world of opportunities, but it also opens the door to some risks and dangers too, in the form of cyber bullying and internet fraud. So ensure that you have all the latest firewalls and digital safety measures in place before using computers with your class and make sure students are closely supervised at all times. There are lots of great websites available for exactly this purpose, where you can share online with your students in a safe, educational environment.

Educators as Curators: 8 Steps to Bringing Your Students the Best of the Web

Educators as Curators: 8 Steps to Bringing Your Students the Best of the Web | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Jennifer Funk

Licensed Under CCSA/ohsarahrose


Last spring, Dr. Corinne Weisgerber turned her undergrads into Guggenheim-like curators. After building personal learning networks that delivered subject-specific tweets and blog posts, her students chose the most salient content and arranged it online the way a museum curator might an art exhibit. Their goal was to design a learning experience that cut through the noise to bring the Internet’s best content to others.

 

The project arose from Weisgerber’s own experience curating content for students, which she and her St. Edward’s University colleague Dr. Shannan Butler shared at the second annual SXSWedu conference in March.

 

Today, they answer questions about why they think the museum curator is the perfect model for today’s educators (and students), and how you can become one too.

Dropbox Security Breach: Who's Guarding Your Secrets In The Cloud?

Dropbox Security Breach: Who's Guarding Your Secrets In The Cloud? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Drew Houston of Dropbox speaks during the Digital Life Design conference (DLD) at HVB Forum on January 23, 2012 in Munich, Germany. Dropbox is investigating whether its security was breached, leading to spam messages to users.

 

Cloud services are the ballyhooed future of software, information storage, device management and whatever else you can think of that requires the use of a computer or device. Which is why Dropbox’s current investigation into itself gives pause. The preeminent cloud-company is checking to see whether its security has been breached, leading to a rash of spam emails sent to users.

 

If such hack-attacks are not subdued when aimed at massive central information-storage servers, can the cloud be trusted?
