Professionally, I am passionate about driving management and leadership excellence. I relish challenges in enhancing business performance and organisational adaptability in line with the dynamic and connected 21st century. Personally, I am a bit of a Car and Tech geek. I like cars and I am a true BMW fan. I love racing, particularly Formula One and do a bit of karting myself. I am a technology, Internet and science fiction geek. But I have taste too - I love great design, beautiful people and things. :)

education 2.0: using social media technology to build collaborative education communities

what the education system in malaysia needs today is more empowerment.

empower….

…teachers with the ability to develop and share coursewares, ideas and materials.

…parents to review their children’s progress, compare and participate in the overall development of children’s education

…students to be able to select the best form of learning and share ideas across a wide community

…policy makers with the ability to engage with the education stakeholders

what this needs is a simple solution to connect all these needs together and with a means to organise, rank and prioritise ideas by the community itself – and a way to link / connect all the various natural communities in a wider scale.

any thoughts on how to realise this?

How Simplicity Can Help Creativity, Briefly

source site – How Simplicity Can Help Creativity, Briefly

The judicious application of simplicity can help someone to create, whether that’s writing, creating art, designing, teaching, starting a small business, or in some other way making ideas take shape into reality.

People who want to create are hampered by complications — tools that are too complicated, projects that are too overwhelming, the distractions of the modern world, too many cooks, too many options, too busy.

Simplify, and many of these problems go away.

Clearing clutter is a great way to create space for new ideas, thoughts and creativity.

The hectic information age is generally bad news for creativity. We cannot run away from 24/7 service, technologies and communication. However, we can strive to do less in every area that we work on. Find non-value adding stuff. Ruthlessly chop them off.

Use technology to simplify.

Challenge everything we do. Why do we do things we’ve being doing all this while?
