In 1692 an artist known only as "A. Boogert" sat down to write a book in Dutch about mixing watercolors. Not only would he begin the book with a bit about the use of color in painting, but would go on to explain how to create certain hues and change the tone by adding one, two, Via Levin Chin

Climate change isn't just a problem for future generations — it's already affecting broad swaths of the United States. That's the upshot of the National Climate Assessment, a massive new US government report detailing the current and future impacts of global warming around the country. The report is particularly useful in detailing how specific regions and sectors will be affected — and outlining some possible ways we could adapt. There's a lot of information in the report, but find nine highlights at the link. Via Lauren Moss

Social media marketing must be justified. Can we measure the value of social media and the conversation it promises? Via janlgordon

I selected this article by Andrew Osegi for Kunocreativ because it addresses a topic that every social media marketer should be concerned about. He asks a very important question: "How do we give value to the fleeting micro engagements that make up social media interaction?" Some insights to get you thinking and leveraging your messages and conversations online. Here are a few highlights:
Your social strategy must reflect, and adhere to, the measurable data produced when posting. This data will direct how you conduct future social media campaigns - where ROI really matters. More on that in this article. He refers to social capital - In an article by Rig Dragon, social capital is difficult to predict and measure, but most definitely applicable in social media. Social media, like advertising, creates unseen impressions too important to ignore. - Good insights here!
Takeaway: Think of your social media efforts as a transaction of energy. Reciprocal conversation, online or in person, is rewarding to all parties involved.

The levels of empathy or insights we can get from interacting with users.
The reality is that as you move up the levels, it takes more much time, energy, training, determination and experience to reach the next level of empathy when interacting and interviewing with End-Users. On the flip side, the higher the level of empathy, the more core the insight. If you want to be a great Design Thinker, you want to be moving upwards in the hierarchy, to get those more deep-seated, core insights and drivers. Via Len Netti, brandideas

Bento is a website that, thanks to its author Jon Chan and the many user contributions, has gathered, organized and curated the very best resources available online where you can learn how to code. From html to javascript, ruby, php, Java, perl, Bento offers learning guidance for over 80 different technologies and coding languages. Here is how Jon Chan, a 23 years old who launched this project in September of 2013, describes Bento: I started learning to code when I was very young - about ten years old. Then, the only things I had available were what I could find online and through a few dense books. Now, people have the exact opposite problem: how do you break through the noise and find what's actually valuable to learn? This site is here to help you figure that out."
Bento is a perfect example of effective content curation as it does not simply collect and list all of the resources available to learn each language but it only suggests the very best ones, organizing them in easy, medium and hard and providing also "best of" / direct solutions that save readers lots of valuable time. Free to use. Useful, simple and immediate to use. Well organized. 9/10 Bento: http://www.bentobox.io/ More info: http://www.bentobox.io/about Submit new links here: https://github.com/JonHMChan/bento/

"The brain is constantly on the lookout for ways to improve by obtaining new knowledge and skills, even before birth. Unfortunately, retaining information can be challenging, simply because instructors and course designers do not always use methods that facilitate remembering." Via Beth Dichter

As teachers we are course designers. We design a lesson and if we teach face2face we see immediate feedback while teaching. The same feedback is not as apparent online. One question that is being researched looks at what brain research tells us about designing better lessons, and what applies to eLearning typically applies to what happens in our classroom. This post provides seven tips, with an infographic that show each. Click through to the post to see more detailed information for each tip and to find additional resources. Below are three of the tips: * Favor recognition over recall * Help learners avoid stress and fear * Keep the working memory in mind
