Significance of Impact vs. Likelihood of Impact

We'll explore how today's constantly connected, social media-driven technology culture changing the values, attitudes and wellbeing of new generations.

Pamela S Clark
Founder/Director at New Heights Educational Group
Everything about the New Heights Educational Group is innovative, from its unique programs to the way it provides fill-in-the-gap type tutoring. We are the first organization of its kind to build an educational program for all students and their families regardless of school choice, social economic status or beliefs. We believe that everyone deserves a fair and equal education, and we aim to aid students and adults who are willing to work for it. We believe there should be a place where people can come for honest and caring help for any educational issue or topic that they face — a place that uplifts them to reach, achieve and surpass their goals. That not only says we believe in those people, but also provides the tools and resources to turn dreams into a reality. This approach is innovative and life-changing, and we have proven it is possible to achieve. What is even more unique is that this dream has been achieved over 14 years by all volunteers. These volunteers were looking to better their own lives; many times we were the volunteers' first professional opportunity. Our volunteers care about our communities and our world. NHEG doesn't try to change people, and we truly believe that this is one of the reasons for our great success. We allow our students and volunteers to shine, let them be who they are, let them explore who they could be and provide any educational tools along the way. It's as if we've built a school, undrawn the lines and said everyone is welcome. We also proved that education isn't about more funding or politics. It's about faith in ourselves and others individuals' gifts and the fact that we don't have to compete against each other. We celebrate, empower and embrace one another's unique gifts.
Jennifer Allen
Associate Professor at Western Wyoming Community College
I am an educator of technology (computer information systems, computer applications, information management, business communication, web development, etc.), at a community college. Many of the courses I teach are online. How I teach and connect with students is affected by today's technology. Different generations respond to and utilize technology in their daily lives differently - it is different to connect to non-traditional students than traditional students when it comes to technology and incorporating different technologies into the class (live or online).

FAQ
  • add remove What is Currnt?
    Currnt is a “Knowledge Networking” platform where companies and professionals come to stay relevant on the latest advances in their industries in the face of the increasing pace of change. Companies sponsor panels to learn about where markets are headed or how to leverage new capabilities. Professionals join to demonstrate and develop their passions with equal caliber peers in expert-only facilitated online engagements. On Currnt, we take our passions seriously and ourselves lightly. See our Community Guidelines, to learn more of the rules of the road, here are some highlights

    • Be yourself. The authenticity of Currnt begins with the passion of people.
    • Be respectful. This applies to every person, at all times.
    • Be inclusive. Tolerate, welcome, and consider diverse people and perspectives.
    • Build empathy and understanding. Engage in debates that are in good faith.
    • Foster meaningful and genuine connections. This is what Currnt is all about.
    • Do not plagiarize or fail to cite other’s ideas.
    • Don’t game the points by trying to coordinate intentional recognition.
  • add remove How do Panels work?
    The panel is like a facilitated forum of hand selected experts on a topic sponsored by a company that wants to learn fast. Panels are organized in chapters called Themes that focus on one subtopic at a time. In some panels Themes are only 24 hours in duration, in others they are a week long, and in some they are two weeks long. When one Theme closes, a new one begins. You come in when you feel like it, but try to come in twice per Theme. You earn points from your peers and the facilitator when they react to your ideas. Likewise, others earn points when you interact on their posts. The more we discuss and debate, the better the insights, the more points earned by all.

  • add remove Why should I apply? Do I get paid?
    Professionals join Currnt because they want to remain relevant on subjects they’re passionate about and subjects that are shaping the future of their industry. They also:

    • Engage and connect with equal caliber peers in their industry
    • Learn and enhance their knowledge
    • Get recognized and rewarded for providing their inputs and thought-leadership
    • When specified above in the project description, you can earn honorarium payments and/or recognition points redeemable for cash. Learn more here.
  • add remove Are there specific times I need to participate?
    There are no set times for calls or meetings. Participation is 100% online on the Currnt platform and engagement between the all expert panelists is asynchronous in written form. Just come in twice per Theme, at your convenience.

  • add remove How do KnowledgeStreams and DesignSprints work?
    Streams are ongoing online engagements for exploration or working iteratively with a panel, and Sprints are on-demand engagement to get to actionable insights quickly. Both are facilitated and are always-on for participants to engage at-convenience. The conversations are segmented into Themes which are subtopics which are like chapters in a book. In a 4 Day Sprint, Themes are 24 hours, whereas a Theme in a Stream is every two week. Throughout the discussion, the facilitator highlights and categorizes the “key takeaways” to be voted and distilled into a summary report. It’s also common that other pieces of content (whitepapers, blogs, podcasts) are also prepared from the distilled insights.

  • add remove I’ve applied. Now what?
    Your application will be internally reviewed in the following 24-48hrs and screened for any conflict of interest, and general fit. Next your application will be shortlisted for the sponsor to accept, bookmark or reject. You will receive a notification each step of the way, but expect this may take a couple of days, or even weeks if the panel is new. Nevertheless, in addition to the notifications, you can always go back to the Apply page to view the status of your application.

  • add remove I’ve been selected. What am I expected to do when selected?
    Once you receive your Welcome Email, please RSVP by clicking the link in the notification. You can also gain access to the panel through your ‘My Currnt’ at the top of the page. Finally, once you have RSVP’d by logging into the panel, there is often a Welcome Tab where you can introduce yourself to the other panelists. If it’s a new panel, the first Theme will launch in a few days, if it’s an ongoing panel just jump right in by reacting to the question or to what the other panelists had to say.

  • add remove If I have other questions or issues, what should I do?
    Please contact support to answer any other questions or troubleshoot any issues via email or chat.
