Fyi for Your Improvement | Michael M. Lombardo, Robert W. Eichinger

Help? Those of you who work with college students and new hires, who work in career development, and those who love learning… I have been charged with creating and delivering a 15 min program for college students on how to enhance “career-ready skills” — SOFT SKILLS! I can do this, I am confident in my ability to facilitate such, but need to pick a topic FAST. Suggestions? 🧐😬😃

Nutmegnc I‘m not sure of specifics but I LOVE George Couros and his book the Innovators Mindset is also great. This touches on those 21st century skills that students need in the coming job market. I bet you could pick a topic from there. You might also bring in the ISTE standards for students. 3w

BkClubCare @Nutmegnc TY, I have to work it all up tomorrow. Thank you 😊 3w

wanderinglynn Adam Grant has some fantastic topics, like knowing what you don‘t know.

Bookwormjillk Big topic in my office right now. I agree with @wanderinglynn that Adam Grant is a good place to start. 3w

bthegood college students - big things they need work on : eye contact, engaged and active listening, hand shakes - 🙂 3w

BkClubCare @Bookwormjillk @wanderinglynn - Thank you! That first story in Think Again, about the fire fighters, has stayed with me. 🌟 3w

BkClubCare @bthegood - a presentation on how to be present without being scolding could be a challenge 😂 Active Listening activities might be a good way to go. 🙏 (edited) 3w

bthegood @BkClubCare 🙂 2w

Hello, Android Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform | Ed Burnette

When is the @Litsy app returning to the Google Play store for Android users? I had to factory reset my phone and the #Litsy app is no longer available for download. Tried directly with Play Store and through the various links here and at LibraryThing, no go.

The web app is okay for liking and commenting but it's terrible on mobile for editing pictures.

CampbellTaraL Also leaving that funny text prompt on the image because that's how clunky it is to try to use web version on mobile! 2mo

Librarybelle I‘m an Apple user, but I know other Android users on Litsy found a way to get the app on through means other than the Google Play store…hopefully they‘ll be able to help! 2mo

Ruthiella @julesG Has the answer. I can‘t remember the post anymore, however, where she gave the instructions. 1mo

RamsFan1963 You can find the Litsy app on Amazon's app store also. I had to use that when my phone crash and I lost the app for Litsy. 1mo

julesG Download the APK file and open it. Here's the link: https://litsy.en.uptodown.com/android Open the APK file. Your phone might say it's from an unreliable source, but you can tell your phone it isn't. This should install the Litsy App on Android. 1mo

CampbellTaraL Thanks all. I'll do the alternative installation route but this still should be fixed if the plans are to sustain @Litsy long-term. If not, well... 1mo

Unbound: How Eight Technologies Made Us Human, Transformed Society, and Brought Our World to the Brink | Richard L Currier

so-so

03/150 The author uses a very broad definition of technology in this book. It covers the creation of spears & digging sticks, the use of fire, clothing & shelter, the development of symbolic communication, agriculture, developments in interaction (transportation), the industrial revolution and the rise of digital information technology. So everything man has ever done fall under his heading. It's interesting, but a bit dispersed. 3.25/5

RamsFan1963 3rd book finished for #JumpStart2024 @Lizpixie and #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65 4mo

DieAReader 🥳🥳🥳Great! 4mo

Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 3mo

mandarchy Funny, my dad and I were talking about what was considered technology before the digital age. It's Greek for the systemic treatment of art or craft. 3mo

Hi Litsy I have a short window. I have an IOS phone. For the past 2 days Litsy comes up as the white screen with the logo minutes later just says can‘t connect. My internet is fine. I turned off/on my phone, uninstalled-reinstalled, let my phone totally die. Did the new iOS update. And it‘s still the same. I go to the desktop version on my laptop and it can‘t connect to the server even though I can do everything else. Any ideas. I can get 👇🏼

Reggie get back here like this but within minutes it‘ll do the same thing. Any advice? 4mo

julesG You have similar problems with your phone and the desktop version. Did you use the desktop version from your phone? If no and you used a computer to access the Litsy website, then it might be a DNS problem. Have you tried restarting your router and or updating the router's software? 4mo

Reggie @julesG Thank you it‘s working now when I‘m not home so yeah that might be it. I‘ll give it a try when I get there. Thanks so much. 4mo

julesG 🥳🥳🥳 Yeah!!! Glad this helped. 4mo

Centique I had something similar with the ios app not loading - days of white screen this week - but thank goodness uninstalling and reinstalling worked for me. Cant live without Litsy! 4mo

Reggie @Centique I Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and that I got the knife bookmarks and the King book. Thank you soooo much! I hope your family has a great holiday! 4mo

Centique @Reggie yay! Im glad they got there safely. Good day yesterday, saw a gazillion family members, avoided the potential feud brewing between my in laws - survived the onslaught of the Commerce Gods! Hope you had a good day and that you get a break and some chill out time 💕 4mo

I donated some books at the station book swap a while back and I came home with some too. Always the way. I was obsessed with SARK in my late teens and used to own this tagged book.

The Ages of Globalization: Geography, Technology, and Institutions | Jeffrey D. Sachs

pick

I enjoyed learning about the key technologies that enabled civilization throughout the ages. I also got an answer to a long-held question of mine, which is why the Northern Hemisphere is in a much better place than the Southern: because of the “lucky latitudes.“
