Organizing thoughts and materials and ideas
by admin in Sabbatical Research and Thinking
New ways to work
Blogs, 2.0 tools, voice?,
Overly cumbersome sorting this out .. tons of trying things and decision making .. and organizing/reorganizing
Help … which apps to use .. what process.. could be a book itself .. but then something new would occur .. new app .. new feature .. something
Selecting books, journals and blogs also a moving target .. Creative Commons and narrowing thesis will make the call. The winnowing down process of ideas and materials .. trying to let it flow .. has been helpful as new ideas pop up all the time. Business books have been helpful at stimulating new directions
- disruptive technology
- popular – book/blog/mag
- new ways to collect, use and present information
- ideas book
