Joi Ito: Want to innovate? Become a "now-ist" | Talk Video | TED.com: "





What is creativity...  what is innovation? How are they different? I question that Vincent B is dealing with.  What do you think is the difference...  (hint hint leave a comment!)



hope you're all having a good summer!

“Remember before the internet?” asks Joi Ito. “Remember when people used to try to predict the future?” In this engaging talk, the head of the MIT Media Lab skips the future predictions and instead shares a new approach to creating in the moment: building quickly and improving constantly, without waiting for permission or for proof that you have the right idea. This kind of bottom-up innovation is seen in the most fascinating, futuristic projects emerging today, and it starts, he says, with being open and alert to what’s going on around you right now. Don’t be a futurist, he suggests: be a now-ist."

A few updates on Shaking up education!

Dear fellow bloggers,

Just to let you know that Shaking up education (my blog about how the Internet will change everything in the world of education) has been updated!

For those who don't remember clearly the goal of this project, I invite you to read my presentation of the blog.

• Ever wanted to experience real class-oriented video-conferencing? Take a look at Big Blue Button, Mozilla's software program which will bring online video-conferencing... straight in your web browser! Read more about it here!

•   Have you ever been impressed by this geeky friend who can do almost anything with a computer by typing - often blazingly fast - a few lines of code? Learn to do the same with Codecademy!

• Last but not least... meet Gymglish, your new personal English teacher!

Code Conference | Media & Tech Conference | Re/code:





Here's the new event created by the AllThingsD team....

Just in case you couldn't go!

(Have a look at the videos!)





What do you think?

 "Re/code welcomes you to the debut of Code Conference—produced by the same straight-shooting, visionary team who delivered the D: All Things Digital Conference since 2003.
 Code Conference is where top industry influencers in media and technology gather for in-depth conversations about the impact of digital technology on our lives and our businesses, today and in the future. Executive producers and conference creators Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher go head to head with the same caliber of industry luminaries who shared their stage at the D conference. D featured conversations with the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk, George Lucas, and the late Steve Jobs—and Code Conference promises to keep pace, while also adding exciting new elements to the attendee experience."
