The document outlines the key steps in an analytical problem solving process: 1) clarify the problem, 2) investigate causes, 3) identify decision criteria, 4) identify solutions, 5) evaluate solutions, 6) implement a solution, and 7) follow up and measure. It emphasizes that clarifying the problem is the most important first step, and provides tools like the 5 Ws, 5 Whys, and SWOT analysis to help define and understand the problem. The document also provides a real-world example of using the 5 Whys technique to uncover the root cause of late product shipments.
Tens of thousands of apps are launched daily, all attempting to tap into this lucrative and growing market; yet relatively few find success. But ninety-nine percent of all mobile apps disappear sooner or later. So how do developers and studios get their app or game to become part of the valuable 1% category? In this session, Eyal Rabinovich, VP Marketing at MoMinis, will review some of the highly cost-effective tools available to publishers and developers that can be leveraged today, together with practical guidance, tips and best practices on where cross-promotion can be used and how.

Jesus asked his followers to stay and pray with him on the darkest night of the year. While Jesus prayed in the garden, his followers promised to stay awake with him but they fell asleep. Judas then came and betrayed Jesus with a kiss. His followers ask to love and speak God's truth as Jesus did, and to stay awake with him even when hope seems distant.

It encourages sharing the love of Jesus even if one can't preach or pray like famous figures, and that seeing the Holy Spirit descend is a sign of God's abiding love.
Psalm 1 describes two paths - the path of the righteous and the path of the wicked. The righteous find joy and strength by meditating on God's teachings day and night.

The document discusses how repairing and reusing existing things is more efficient and cost-effective than constantly mining for new raw materials. It notes that the Earth has limited resources and we cannot rely on a linear manufacturing process indefinitely. Repairing things is often free or cheaper than replacing them, and taking things apart is a good way to understand how they work. Self-repair fosters sustainability and connections between people and devices.
The document discusses the Disruptor, a data structure and work flow that allows for high-performance concurrent programming with no contention. The Disruptor uses a ring buffer to pass messages between threads very quickly in a parallel manner. Publishers can insert events into the ring buffer, while batch event processors can read the events in batches to process them in parallel threads. The Disruptor framework encourages modeling the problem domain and provides reliable ordering, parallelism, and high performance.

Prototyping can reveal how the design works at different breakpoints. The document provides helpful resources and information about the company Wintr and their services in digital creative and content engineering.
This document discusses how the context of learning has changed in the 21st century due to abundance of information, tools, and connectivity. It argues that schools need to focus less on content delivery and more on developing skills like creativity, collaboration, communication and critical thinking. An example is given of a school project where students designed water purification devices for people in Haiti. The document suggests new requirements for schools, teachers, and students that focus on authentic work, transparency, self-direction, literacy and networks. It emphasizes starting by focusing on learners rather than teachers in times of rapid change.
The document discusses prototyping and provides guidance on why and how to create prototypes. It notes that prototypes allow you to test ideas early, answer questions and find new ones, validate assumptions, compare alternatives, and fail early and cheaply. Prototypes also help visualize ideas and share them with others. The document recommends designing apps with consistent and predictable behaviors using design patterns and lists some prototyping tools.
The document discusses Vincent Everts and his work with social media and sales. It covers topics like live streaming trips in electric vehicles, innovation acceleration through international study trips in the late 2000s, being an early adopter of video blogging and social media platforms like Tudou and YouTube.

The document discusses action storming, which is a technique for rapidly prototyping new behaviors to deal with difficult situations. It involves peer-to-peer collaboration and experimentation with new actions rather than analysis. Action storming draws from improvisational theater techniques and encourages playfulness, empathy, and breaking from past patterns to spark creativity in finding solutions. The document promotes action storming as a way to avoid getting stuck overanalyzing problems and to help think of multiple choices even when feeling stuck.
This slide set was used in conjunction with face to face PD session: "Write About It B" in the Writing strand of professional development for Project Connect in the Saint Joseph School District.
