...using the technology of today, in the classroom today The Instructional Power of and How Teachers Can Leverage Them Eric Klopfer, Scot Osterweil, Jennifer Groff, Jason Haas an Education Arcade paper The Education Arcade Massachusetts Institute of Technology Eric Klopfer, Scot Osterweil, Jennifer Groff, Jason Haas © copyright 2009 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 I nt r od uc ti on What is good learning? That may be a subjective question. But it’s likely that many educators would give answers that fall in the same ballpark… …students collaborating and discussing ideas, possible solutions… …project-based learning, designed around real world contexts… …connecting with other students around the world, on topics of study… …immersing students in a learning experience that allows them to grapple with a problem, gaining higher-order thinking skills from pursuing the solution… To many educators, these notions are music to their ears. Would it seem terribly strange then to hear that students indeed are doing these things regularly outside of their classrooms? While Timmy or Susie may not be running home from school saying, “What fun, deeply-engaging learning experience can we do today?”, they are engaging with new technologies that provide them with the same opportunities. Every day, many students are spending countless hours immersed in popular technologies—such as Facebook or MySpace, World of Warcraft, or Sim City—which at first glance may...

...By Sriram Vadlamani Apr 26, 2009 12:00AM UTC There are actually 234 listed IT companies but I chose to publish only the top 200. The combined market cap of the top 200 IT companies is 253499 crores as of APR 23 2009. Infosys topped the list in terms of the market cap though TCS tops the revenues list. Wipro and HCL followed the list. iFlex which is renamed to Oracle Financial Services is 5th in the list with a market cap of 7566 crores. Tech Mahindra has a market cap of 4049 crores and Satyam has a market cap of 3184 crores. Together they have a market cap of 7233 crores. This is around 300 crores less than Oracle Financial Services. The integrated company of Tech Mahindra + Satyam stands at 6th position. In all probability that will move further up as the financial situation of Satyam looks better than what the papers tell. Of the top 10 Indian IT stocks only Satyam is the most volatile stock and it can gain few percentage points and change the whole equation.

...Aluno: Antonio Carvalho Cabral – Mestrando Trabalho final - RESUMO A indústria da Música na Era Digital O presente trabalho tem por objetivo mapear a cadeia produtiva da música na era digital, com enfoque mais específico no caso brasileiro, procurando criar um mapa descritivo desse setor, e a partir daí pensar em caminhos possíveis. Como com todo fenômeno recente, ainda estamos tentando entender as mudanças e consequências da era digital, que com o fim da necessidade do suporte físico e grandes investimento, modifica radicalmente a produção, distribuição e formas de consumir música, descentralizando e democratizando a cadeia produtiva. Essa mudança por sua vez, não foi acompanhada pelo desenvolvimento do arcabouço legal que regula esse mercado, nem pelas grandes majors que dominam o mercado, criando um grande conflito entre as possibilidades oferecidas pela nova tecnologia, o que o sistema legal permite e o que a indústria dominante quer. Esse conflito vem pautando a formatação dos novos modelos de negócio possíveis, de um lado a indústria tradicional, lutando para manter seu modelo de negócios e seus lucros, de outro os consumidores e artistas antes excluídos do mercado, tentando criar modelos inovadores. O presente trabalho não tem por objetivo ser juiz da disputa entre Creative Commons e a IFPI (Cultura livre x cultura fechada), apenas busca fazer um mapeamento do atual mercado, das mudanças ocorridas e descrever um futuro possível.

...Marketing Strategy week #1 Porter (1996): What is strategy? Summary: What is strategy? The article examines this question on different levels. First of all, operational effectiveness (OE) is clearly seperated from strategy. While OE is about achieving excellence in individual activities or functions, a competitve strategy is about combining activities and being different. There are 3 sources of strategic positioning 1) variety-based positioning, 2) needs-based positioning & 3) access-based positioning.To build a strategy you need to make trade-offs & tighten the fit among a company’s activities. If there is no fit among activites, there is no distinctive strategy & little sustainability. There are 3 types of fit 1) simple consistency, 2) activities are reinforcing & 3) optimization of effort. Growth can be a trap in developing a strategy. 1. Operational effectiveness is no strategy Environment: companies must be flexible to respond rapidly to competetive & market changes, they must outsource aggressively to gain efficiencies because competitors can quickly imitate mgmt-techniques, new technologies, input improvements & superior ways of meeting customer’s needs. Definition Operational effectiveness (OE): It means performing similar activities better than rivals do & to better utilize inputs by, e.g., developing products faster. OE includes efficiency but is not limited to it. Some companies get more out of their inputs (within OE) because...
