First a comment from Don Tapscott while he was interviewed at authors@google. Here is what education is: I am a prof, I have knowledge you are a student an empty vessel and you don’t. Get ready here it comes. Your goal is take data into short term active memory and through practice and repetition built deeper cognitive structures so you can recall it to me when I test you. Another issue where Don Tapscott is absolutely right and what I can recall from my school time was the process of lecture in which notes of the teacher go to the notes of the student without going through the brain of either. When I went to university I started enjoying learning and I became a life time learner. Before University I thought: School is a hobby when you don’t have to work or are not occupied with other obligations such as sports or friends. I was further amazed that what you did at university in a month took you nearly a year at secondary school. So it’s absolute clear why so many students are bored, not challenged, not engaged and eventually dropout.

Watch the video it’s pretty fast so I wrote the full text for down for you.

The part of 7,5 hours sleep doesn’t make a lot of sense in the beginning but as the other hours are showed by the students all adds up to 26.5 hours, so the average student is now a 2.5 hour multi-tasker per day. Don Tapscott calls multi-tasking also switching ability according to the study 3 out of 4 Net Gen Students are doing it. I can see this often on the work floor in the office some colleagues can only concentrate on one task while the younger more computer literate are doing more tasks at the same time. At the end of the day everyone has done his work and I don’t believe that there is any difference in quality or efficiency.

More info look at Michael Wesch and Kansas State University.

I learned from the book to better understand my children about how they need to be engaged to the school program to have fun. Also I learned from the book why I never liked school. So an absolute must read if your children aren’t liking school it enables you to prevent them from dropping out.

I am normally not a supporter of politics on my blog, but today I think we have some interesting news Energy Secretary Steven Chu has joined Facebook to start a conversation about solving today’s energy challenges.

He recently joined Facebook because he wanted to talk with you directly about solving the energy and climate change challenge and ensuring America’s leadership in a clean energy economy. He hopes you will check out his new page at http://www.facebook.com/stevenchu

Steven is excited by the chance to share what the Obama Administration is doing to bring about a revolution in clean energy. They are finding innovative ways to use energy more efficiently, working to deploy clean energy technologies like solar and wind power, and conducting cutting edge research to find the next generation of clean technologies. He will keep you up to date on all the latest developments, as well as share tips that will save you money on your energy bills.

But Steven also want to hear from you about what you’re doing in your communities and the steps you think we should take as a nation. I hope we can have a true dialogue because every American can and must play a role in this effort.

I became a fan of Steven to support his effort to bring politics closer to the people.

1. MS Outlook, de nummer 1 email cliënt ben nooit al te enthousiast geweest over Outlook en metname niet over nieuwe functionaliteit en imap ondersteuning . Al mijn werkgevers gebruikten helaas altijd Outlook dus het is een verplicht huwelijk. Gebruik nu Oulook met de Plaxo plugin en ZoHo Crm plugin wat de functionaliteit enorm verbeterd. Goed met Outlook zijn de synchronisatie mogelijkheden met Palm en Pocket PC.
2. FireFox, met FireFox ben ik het web anders gaan gebruiken altijd minimaal 10 tabbladen open staan en gebruik de zoek functie dagelijks de Control F in Explorer werkt voor geen meter dus ik gaan niet meer terug naar Explorer. Daarnaast een goede spellingscontrole functie via de addins
3. MS Word, wat valt er nog over te zeggen gebruik het steeds minder, gebruik meer Outlook en online text editors.
4. Ms Excel, hier geldt hetzelfde gebruik het steeds minder, en kijk uit naar het tijdperk van de online spreadsheets welke steeds beter en steeds meer gemeengoed worden.
5. Splash ID Desktop mijn paswoord manager, in combinatie met mijn Palm, al mijn bankrekeningnummers en belangrijke andere prive informatie sla ik op in dit kleine handige tooltje altijd een back up op de PC of op de Palm Device
6. Foxit mijn PDF reader hoewel mijn werkgevers altijd Adobe reader door mijn strot duwen geef ik voorkeur aan Foxit. Waarom? Opstarten gaat 10 keer sneller en net zo functioneel.
7. XnView, free tool om foto’s en afbeeldingen te bekijken en enkele eenvoudige bewerkingen uit te voeren en nog gratis ook.
8. WinRar essentieel om downloads van het internet uit te pakken
9. MS Access, vroeger veel gebruikt als individuele database nu niet meer, groot nadeel is dat access niet gedeeld kan worden over een netwerkschijf of op een andere manier. Nu overgegaan op webdatabase applicaties.
10. CutePDF een handige manier om office documenten naar PDF te converteren helemaal Freeware en installeert zich als een printer driver en is dus overal te gebruiken als er maar een print functie in de software zit.

Als ik kijk naar deze 10 programma’s dan weet ik zeker dat de komende jaren de office applicaties als MS word en MS Excel snel uit de top 10 zullen verdwijnen, evenals Access die er eigenlijk al uit is, daarvoor zal in de plaats komen Zoho sheet writer, of Google applications of misschien wel EyeOS met een goede word editor en spreadsheet variant.

Zal binnenkort eens mijn favoriete web applicaties op een rijtje zetten.
