Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Some great advice not only for ID certificates, but online certificates in general. I believe I have most of these programs listed in my ID/TC Educational Resources tab above, but if I don’t, I’ll be adding them shortly.

There’s some good information here that applies not only to marketing, but in writing a good blog at all, even a non-marketing blog. (Or better yet, this is advice on the better practices to market and write your blog.) I try to follow most of these as best as I can. After all, this blog is always a work in progress. Read this.

Marta Rauch brought this to my attention on LinkedIn. I’ve been hearing more and more of this term,  "the Internet of Things" (IoT) more and more at conferences lately, and it does seem to be a growing terms to talk about how more and more devices from our daily lives are being connected to the Internet.  This is a good article to give you an idea of what it entails at a broad level.

My friend and mentor, Val Swisher, is the person who brought this project to my attention, and is the speaker in the video that’s in this link. Translators without Borders is an excellent organization bringing something that seems so obvious to the forefront: translation of items for use in many countries so that medicine and supplies can be used as intended. Watch Val’s video–which I got to see in person at ICC2014–and see if you can find a way to contribute to this worthy cause.

Charlie Southwell (aka @charliesaidthat) brought Brain In Hand to my attention. It’s an app that can help those on the autistic spectrum function with difficult decision making, and provide decision making and help tools. It looks really fantastic! While my own son is learning coping techniques to use on his own, I could see this being something helpful for him in the future. Currently, it’s available in the UK only, and not in the US, but they do hope to expand someday (let’s hope so!). This is a brilliant use of mobile content and technology being used, and I applaud the efforts being done with this company!
