Light (Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It series) (Robertson, William C. Stop Faking It!,) - PDF
نویسندگان: William C. Robertson خلاصه: Back when I was in college, there was a course titled Physics for Poets. At aschool where I taught physics, the same kind of course was referred to by thestudents as Football Physics. The theory behind having courses like these was thatpoets and/or football players, or basically anyone who wasn’t a science geek, neededsome kind of watered-down course because most of the people taking the coursewere—and this was generally true—SCARED TO DEATH OF SCIENCE.In many years of working in education, I have found that the vast majorityof elementary school teachers, parents who home school their kids, and parentswho just want to help their kids with science homework fall into this category.Lots of “education experts” tell teachers they can solve this problem by justasking the right questions and having the kids investigate science ideas on theirown. These experts say you don’t need to understand the science concepts. Inother words, they’re telling you to fake it! Well, faking it doesn’t work when itcomes to teaching anything, so why should it work with science? Like it or not,you have to understand a subject before you can help kids with it. Ever triedteaching someone a foreign language without knowing the language?The whole point of the Stop Faking It! series of books is to help you under-stand basic science concepts and to put to rest the myth that you can’t under-stand science because it’s too hard. If you haven’t tried other ways of learningscience concepts, such as looking through a college textbook, or subscribing toScientific American, or reading the incorrect and oversimplified science in anelementary school text, please feel free to do so and then pick up this book. Ifyou find those other methods more enjoyable, then you really are a science geekand you ought to give this book to one of us normal folks. Just a joke, okay?

نویسندگان: Donna Fenn خلاصه: They’re young, they’re brash, they’re smart—and they’re 77-million strong. Generation Y is creating startups at an unprecedented rate, and their approach to business is unlike anything you’ve seen. The generation described by the media as spoiled, entitled, even narcissistic, is proving these notions false every day. Inspired by the rock-star entrepreneurs of previous generations and driven by a burning desire to control their own destinies, GenY is rewriting the entrepreneurial playbook one cool startup at a time. Inc. magazine writer Donna Fenn interviewed more than 150 young CEOs to learn what makes them tick. While upstarts are motivated by similar aspirations of past generations, their way of doing business is radically different—and it’s changing the way everyone must do business now. Upstarts examines and analyzes this entrepreneurial revolution to reveal eight critical lessons every entrepreneur and marketer must learn. Fenn describes a generation of entrepreneurs that is highly collaborative and team-oriented. It’s quick and alert when it comes to new technologies. It’s hell-bent on changing the world. And it’s totally impatient with outmoded business models. The sooner you adapt to the new way of business, the greater chance you have to grow and profit in the years ahead. Upstarts provides key insight into: Building collaborative tribes Deploying technology to your competitive advantage Disrupting the status quo Deconstructing the GenY market Generating branding buzz Adopting a social mission Inventing the workplace of the future Reinventing your company Misreading GenY companies could be the biggest business mistake you ever make. This forward-looking book serves both as a headsup to the far-reaching changes coming your way and as a detailed guide to meeting the resulting challenges. The upstarts are here to stay. Are you?

You Need to Be a Little Crazy: The Truth about Starting and Growing Your Business - PDF
نویسندگان: Barry Moltz خلاصه: Advice about starting a business never sounded like this! Beginning with "you must be crazy," serial entrepreneur and angel investor Barry Moltz offers the true insider’s scoop on new business start-ups. With doses of irreverence and humor, the return-to-basics guide focuses on what comes before the bottom line. Addressing passion-the ultimate entrepreneurial fuel-relationships, failure, and authenticity, Moltz incorporates stories from his entrepreneurial colleagues and shows what it takes to integrate personal and professional life to achieve the highest satisfaction. Moltz describes the ups and downs and emotional trials of running a start-up business and invites readers to let go of the myths and expectations that can hamstring them emotionally while getting their businesses up and running. In a helpful, heartfelt, and often humorous way, Moltz reassures entrepreneurs that they are not alone-whatever their form of craziness-and that they can retain self-worth and sanity as they ride the start-up roller coaster. Showcasing the varieties of new venture craziness, entrepreneurs at all ages and stages in their business-building processes will realize they too can succeed. Jolts of passionate entrepreneurial wisdom energize these anecdotes, with such ideas as: • People-not capital-are the true currency. • Passion keeps everything going. • Relationships and authenticity are the drivers in this business climate. • There is no perfect idea and no magic bullet. • Don‘t expect your path to be a straight line. Incorporating lessons from the boom and bust 1990s, the realignment of business and personal values in the wake of terrorism, and proven ways to nurture the human dimension in business, these are voices to help all business owners find and trust their own entrepreneurial passions. After all, says the author, "The worst they can do is eat you!"

Share This!: How You Will Change the World with Social Networking - PDF
نویسندگان: Deanna Zandt خلاصه: The development of the social web--the set of digital tools that allow people to connect with one another and share their stories—offers extraordinary potential to change what voices get heard in the global conversation. This is unlike anything the world has seen in a thousand years. Change agents working to make the world a better place need not just to be on board with social media--we also need to drive and shape the conversation. Because whoever’s story gets heard is in the driver’s seat. Share This! explains the importance of social media as a part of an overall ecosystem of tools for change, and examines how broader participation by marginalized voices can foster opportunity on both the individual and collective levels. Tech-savant Zandt devotes special attention to the challenges that women face, including concerns about privacy, security and reputation, and includes interviews with Shireen Mitchell, Danah Boyd, Cheryl Contee, Beka Economopoulos, and other social media experts who work within specific communities addressing race, class, and gender disparities. In a voice both authoritative and irreverent Zandt provides an accessible guide to what the social networking tools are, how woman and minorities can use them strategically, where on the web readers can directly experience their power, and why these technologies are so critical to transforming our daily lives.
