Skills for a digital economy
I remember my first trip to Sweden, excited to meet the Scandinavian community of high class educators: IT educators at schools and universities crossing all knowledge levels and ages learning about cutting edge technology for our (increasingly) smart societies.
I very much enjoyed the vibrant climate and inspirational conversations with nice, competent and young students as well as their teachers. I would go again any time.
The coming days Kane Minkus is coming your way,

More about my experience with #kaneandalessia
Interview with David Brett David is the driving force behind the MMBbS-Hackathon 2017. After participating in 4 #netacadde Hackathons, he was fully hooked and decided to run his own. With the huge support and encouragement from Joachim Maiß and Joachim Kemmries from the MMBbS Hannover, it is already clear that more Hackathons will follow. David … Continue reading

What is PT?
These abbreviations … really hard for people who are not in this Techie World yet. It is just like a independent language, people you are new to this world just do not understand.
A shame because we actually need them in this world IT Skill Gap, and it will be hard to inspire people to open this door.
The Packet Tracer is such a door !
It is very easy to enter the world of Networking Technology – using the Packet Tracer 7.0 – and see your learning progress fast.
This format is for educators and learners.
Check it out.

Here is your invitation
Hello team,
One of the goals of our Learning R&D team is to do rapid experimentation, including research, in time bound projects. This is why we are launching the Packet Tracer Challenge on Facebook.We have recognized the natural tendency and popularity of PT users posting their solutions in social media spaces and we’d like to support them and give this engagement visible to infect others to use PT 7.0 for their learning.
The challenge will run December 1-15 in English only and will be solely managed within Facebook.
I encourage you to join the page and review the solutions from students once they begin posting, and Like or Comment on any of the entries.
Special appreciation goes to Bob Schoenherr for his creative support and the entire team for inspiring experts to be our judges.
We look forward to researching the results of this experiment and how this drives motivation.
Thanks,
Gary

Julie on the right and me on the left – another colleague between us
I met Julie Chrysler a couple of years ago because of work. We were colleagues at work. Most of all we are just on the same page with our passion about innovation, collaboration, co-creation. We love connecting the dots to bring people together for a greater impact.
Julie is currently on the road traveling in Africa. She keeps telling me about awesome entrepreneurs. One of them is William – they met in Nairobi end of September. His startup is promoting sports talent at grassroots level.
It is so just wow for me when I hear that young people create services that encompass a giving back to the community element from the start.
I got some insights into how the story of William Wanyama started and what he is offering with his startup.
1. What are you doing?
UmpireRef is a web and mobile application addressing documentation challenges affecting amateur sports. This is achieved by assisting referees in capturing match data in real-time through a mobile app, with the information then being synced to other users such as coaches, spectators and event organizers using a web based interface. Therefore, we reduce the impact of poor documentation practices which are more prominent in developing regions, where sports events are either not recorded or are logged in paper format which isn’t easily accessible.
2. Why are you doing this? What is motivating you?
It started out with my own personal experience of having won several accolades with my high school soccer team but quickly saw them diminish in value due to an inefficient documentation practice. In the world of sport there are more amateur players than professionals yet documentation is often poorly done at amateur level. There is a need to address this issue and help grassroots talent in both men’s and women’s sports to more easily find opportunities, gain exposure and fulfill their potential.
3. What were the most difficult obstacles, problems you encountered on the way?
Our growth has been impacted by a lack of resources. Largely in the form of funding and team size.
4. How did you overcome them?
By basing our operations in the iHub community, we have been able to rely on its members and services to help us address those challenges. Freelancers in the community have contributed to our platform in various forms be it developing our application or business strategy.
5. What would you need to have more impact in the world? Can we help you with something?
We are looking for investors or anyone who believe in our mission to help us raise funds to cover our operating costs so that we can focus on achieving our goals. We also encourage more developers to contribute to our project as the code base is open source.
Thanks, William, for sharing your story.
Delivered by Techimpuls on our mission to be a space making innovative ideas visible for leaders, experts and entrepreneurs to achieve a greater impact together.

Screenshot from the nationwide multiplayer mobile game for schools about Information Security in Germany
The gaming platform yeepa initiated a Tsunami of Learning in German schools since yesterday: 200 school classes registered online by teachers in the mobile knowledge competition about Information Security.
Additional 900 pupils registered themselves and played 7,500 multiplaying games with 40,500 questions.
With about 1.000 gamers online on the yeepa platform yesterday there was only one call to our hotline because of a technical problem.
Wow, congrats to yeepa, its leader Leopold Reif and all players taking part of this knowledge tsunami !!!

Working with others when you do not know them, their backgrounds and have never met
Today’s problems and issues are complex. To solve them we need to cross borders across professions, languages and cultures. There is no simple way. Technically this may seem easy. I agree. What many of us do not consider is that the users of technology are people. We need to work together!
Collaboration in a digital workplace requires us to learn how to work together without knowing what we understand with all our senses when we meet in person.
Developing ideas into solution requires critical thinking.
How do you tell someone that your idea, approach or solution might be a better choice without hurting this person’s feeling and then win them to build on existing ideas and knowledge together?
At the #3CityCreathon in Berlin, Bratislava and Rome participants were able to train this :
This combination between digital communication and analog collaboration developing an idea in teams is the digital workplace of the future present.
A perfect illustration for the eSkills conference in Bratislava where 200 policy makers, business leaders and experts discussed how digital technologies are transforming our lives at a pace never seen before.
Many thanks to all participants, organizers, decision makers, jury members, experts and our digital audience.
If the spark has reached you and you are eager to run a creathon or hackathon yourself, contact your local NetAcad contact.
Until next time
Inspirational Regards

… how would you solve your problem?
It is not an easy task to collect ideas, from the best to the worst ideas … brainstorming is not simple.
It is really important to go for quantities of ideas first. There are about 3000 raw ideas needed to get one successful product or service.
Tomorrow at about 11:00 the idea pitching to the jury sitting in our three locations Berlin, Bratislava and Rome is on the agenda.
We are inviting everyone to join us in this connect moment and share their thoughts, ideas and questions you might have.
Feel free to forward the invitation to your network – your neighbour, your family, your friends, your colleagues … and of course, your mailman.
We support the cultural change digital transformation is driving and want to make sure that sustainability and social benefit for all parts of our society are always part of the plan.
