In a country going through one of the biggest industrial revolutions known to man. things happen so quickly that the ones who just watch it go by get lost alongthe wayside. One thing I have learnt during my four and a half years in China is to get involved, no matter what it is - a conversation at the local shop, a game of Frisbee in the park, a football club. a roadside game of Chinese chess, an invitation from some locals for dinner, a hike through the mountains on the edge of the city - any activi- ties like these will break up those predictable daily routines and allow you to participate, and feel good about it.展开更多

Many of these have fallen into content of educational tips and advice on such guides as organizing and assessing students' learning and behaviour and ignored such matters as that a teacher should be an expert learner in this dramatically changing society. This paper suggests that to keep exploring good teaching and to be an expert learner as two essential strategies of getting charismatic characteristics of a good teacher in the new era.展开更多

The Third Industrial Revolution （TIR） is underpinned by the integration or mass customization of services and/or goods. The benefits of real-time mass customization cannot be over-stated as goods and services become indistinguishable and are co-produced as ＂ServGoods＂, resulting in an overwhelming economic advantage to the industrialized countries where the consuming customers are at the same time the co-producing producers. Adding sensors to these ServGoods and letting them connect or communicate among themselves or with other ServGoods can result in an Intemet of Things （i.e., connected ServGoods）. A number of considerations, consequences and concerns relating to such an Intemet of Connected ServGoods are discussed herein.展开更多
