US Education: 6 yr old suspended for sexual assault #wtf
The article's title should read…
US Education: Obama recommends psychological rehab for all those involved in the 6 yr old sex assault scandal.
My comment and initial reaction on the original post:
'Overboard' is a pleasant and polite way to say it… I'd say that any adult who comes to the conclusion that a 6 year old child should be labeled a sex offender and officially removed from school needs clinical help and/or locking up. I'm ashamed to be part of the human race, and really glad I'm not American! #shameful
As I read the NY Times article the first thing that strikes me is that the person/principal who made this decision was a woman – I'd automatically decided that only a man could be so stupid.
I'd suggest, based on the information provided, that this adult needs a break from being near children. Everyone makes mistakes, everyone should be given a second chance, but first you have to understand you did something (very) wrong.
This teacher must resign! It's not clear from the article but it appears she is still in her position. I also think she should send an official written apology to the little boy, the girl, their friends and family; the boy should be returned to his original school.
The end of article is very sad. The little boy had been transferred to another school and is said to be somewhat confused by all the fuss.
WHAT A MESS!

Schools have gone overboard with this "sexual assault" stuff. It was just a couple of 6 year olds rough housing.

Forget demographics. It’s all about the socialgraphics
Traditionally marketers have used demographic and pyschographic data. Digital marketing today calls for adding socialgraphic data to the mix.

Measuring Social Media
Great analogy – American Football
"The biggest woe in social media is measurement. No one has figured it out. There are no standards. There are hundreds of measurement tools. There are all kinds of metrics and statistics that can be measured.
The great thing about social media is that you can measure everything, but the worst part of social media is that you can measure everything.
Measurement is important, but only if you measure the right thing. When you measure the wrong thing you get results, but it might not be results that are going to accurately help you reach your business goals." ~ George F Snell III

Democratization of the workplace by +Harold Jarche Ideas lead technology
Democratization of the workplace by +Harold Jarche
Ideas lead technology. Technology leads organizations. Organizations lead institutions. Then ideology brings up the rear, lagging all the rest—that’s when things really get set in concrete. ~ Charles Green
"Unless the dominant command & control management ideology is replaced, then most organizational change initiatives will just be tinkering at the edges. I can see why some people could become jaded over time with every successive new management system that still does not produce real change."

Screensharing now available in G+ Hangouts
Screensharing now available in G+ Hangouts
Reshared post from +Christopher Johnson
A visual refresh for Google+ HangoutsWhen we launched Hangouts with Extras last September, we wanted to test new features and get feedback from users. We’ve learned a lot over the past few months, and today we’re rolling out a new Hangouts look and feel that incorporates some of the “extras,” and better reflects Google’s overall design (http://goo.gl/gG1NA). Highlights include:
- Screensharing: share what’s on your computer screen with everyone in the hangout. This is the first of many extras we’re graduating to Hangouts proper.
- Bigger video: we’ve put more emphasis on the live video itself by optimizing white space and other screen elements.
Check out the attached photos to preview some of the changes, and have fun hanging out!
