How to Lead Effective Teams with Ray Ohta

My professional development experience yesterday with Ray Ohta was very enjoyable. Here are several quotes from philosophers and his thoughts that were shared with us...

• The philosophy of what you're doing is always more important than the mechanics of doing it.
• The organization bestows "management" rights to the individual. The employee bestows "leadership" rights to the individual.
• Ingredients of successful relationships include mutual trust, respect, commitment to a shared purpose and active colalboration through mutual responsibility and accountability

Beyond Google, 15+ Tools & Strategies

Great article covering tools and Web search strategies. I didn't have a chance to take a look at all the tools, but I did view the Common Craft video, which I thought would be good for our high school students. Maybe good to incorporate with DL Orientation course or provide as resource link on our site?

Infographic on The State of the Internet

I was viewing this interesting infographic (linking to the wikipidea definition in case you weren't familiar with the term...new term for me) of the State of the Internet produced by Focus, so I thought I'd share the link with you. I had no idea the majority of bloggers were between the ages of 25-34. Also, I think we all need to live in Japan to get better broadband access. :)

What did you find interesting in this infographic?
