The Swivel Chair

To be a fly on the wall

One amazing thing about slideshare is the community that can develop. If we place our Keynotes on slideshare we are basically saying “please use” I have ideas that you might find interesting……….I know with my recent Keynote, I am hoping by placing it on slideshare that at least one idea or thought could be used by someone else……Now some would say, “but I made it….it’s mine! I’m not sharing”. In these times, it will only shrink you and your ideas/thinking. I know I am richer for visiting slideshare and viewing their top hits or recently uploaded. Have a search….you will be surprised as to what you find. Two that caught my eye that I found just fascinating and would love to have been at the presentation is Matias Klang’s on Human Rights and Technology This presentation caught my eye as living in China this topic comes up regularly….even at our school with the introduction of the 1:1 Laptop program, and use of tools such as Apple Remote Desktop; Policing and management is a hot topic (through my lens) and finding a balance that doesn’t infringe on Human Rights can be a slippery pole. Check it out…….

The second presentation that I would have enjoyed being at would be David Stutts, 10 Trends to watch in 2010. A fascinating read, especially his rationale on why these trends matter? As a teacher, keeping abreast of the times is hard…..Seeing that Marketers are also scrambling to keep up with change makes me optimistic as to what and how we are teaching our students to become adaptable and change direction in a heartbeat….if you think how new the apple App store is and how it has enhanced (changed?) my life……wow!…..Check it out……….
