A 2-hour interactive workshop, featuring leading expert and keynote Jane McGonigal
Jane McGonigal is today’s leading speaker on the engagement economy and the application of game-design to the real world. Referencing lessons learned through her work creating games for organizations such as the World Bank, the Olympic Games, the American Heart Association, the New York Public Library, and many more. Her book, Reality Is Broken: How Games Make Us Better and How They
Can Change The World, is a New York Times bestseller.
In this engaging, forward-thinking book, Jane makes the case that the gamer spirit — an attitude of fun, dedicated, collective problem-solving — is our greatest asset as we face the social, economic, and environmental problems of the 21st century. She argues that game designers are effectively happiness engineers, experts in making difficult tasks engaging, and that we should draw on their smarts as we frame the challenges of our time.
Jane herself is a specialist in this field, a designer of alternate reality games, where a real-life activity is re-framed as a game. Players of Jane’s games face challenges as serious as surviving peak oil or establishing local sustainable businesses. And they face them with courage and creativity, inspired by their gameful state of mind. Persistence, energy, collaborative creativity, a sense of purpose in hard work —games unlock all of these powerful attitudes. And, most importantly of all, it restores to contemporary life the kind of heroism and communal striving that most of us struggle so hard to find.
Jane is notable for bringing gaming to the healthcare space. Her best-known project is SuperBetter, a mobile app and web-based game that helps individuals challenge personal health challenges (depression, anxiety, chronic pain, stress reduction), and get support from their “allies” — real-life friends and family. With more than 125,000 players, it is currently under study at OSU Medical Center and the University of Pennsylvania. Jane’s other healthcare games include collaborations with the American Heart Association and the Myelin Repair Foundation. She is currently an advisor and affiliate researcher with the Institute For The Future in Palo Alto, California, where she served for four years as the Director of Game Research and Development. Her recent projects include a Games for Healthcare initiative with IFTF and the White House as well as Paths Out Of Poverty, a crowdsourcing game by IFTF for the Rockefeller Foundation.
The need for graduates to assume a leadership mindset to facilitate the evolution of the profession has become a frequent topic for discourse. Pharmacy educators have described implications and strategies through opinion pieces, conference programming and scholarship describing curricular initiatives; however, learning activities rooted in experiential education have not received significant attention. This session will explore how experiential education can serve as a core element of the overall student leadership development strategy in a Pharm.D. program.

Phi Lambda SigmaA “digital footprint” is an individual’s presence on the internet. A positive digital footprint can influence those who choose to research that particular individual such as recruiters, colleagues, and in the case of healthcare practitioners, even patients.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing web content for the purpose of driving traffic from search engines such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo.
Search engines apply proprietary algorithms to determine the order content will be presented (hits) in relation to a specific search phrase.
Understanding how these algorithms function can empower an individual to influence their digital footprint in Google.
PDF: Manipulating Google Search to Create a Positive Digital Footprint (.pdf) 0.82mb An electronic portfolio is a collection of an individual’s skills, credentials, and accomplishments, hosted on an electronic platform, which enables a professional to manage and showcase his or her expertise to a targeted audience. The recent explosion in mobile technology, access to information, and an ever-evolving healthcare landscape has led to an emerging need for healthcare professionals to offer their electronic portfolios to patients via a convenient and simple platform. In the field of pharmacy, this need is paramount. As the pharmacist’s role and skill set continues to expand, tools designed to educate patients and impact public perception of this fact are required. If patients gain simple and convenient access to this information, an opportunity exists to positively impact patient-practitioner relationships, medication adherence, and an overall improvement in healthcare.
Poster PDF (.pdf) 1.48mb Developing Spanish counseling skills will help increase patient compliance and build customer loyalty while setting your pharmacy’s level of customer service apart from competitors. Spanish for Pharmacists is a comprehensive, 52-page book enabling pharmacists and pharmacy technicians to learn the basics of Spanish for effective patient counseling. Spanish for Pharmacists was written by practicing pharmacists specifically for the retail pharmacy community and contains more than 250 pharmacy-specific phrases and 1000 pharmacy-relevant vocabulary words.
Interesting note: The Spanish for Pharmacists book is the produt that started the company RXinsider in the late 1990's.

Kappa Psi WebsiteTau Epsilon Phi Fraternity was founded in 1910 by Jewish men at Columbia University who formed a society devoted to the ideals of friendship, chivalry and service. The members of Tau Epsilon Phi honor scholarship, service, and learning, and feel the college years offer a unique opportunity to form lifelong bonds of friendship with those who share these ideals.
TEP WebsiteIn 1996, I taught myself basic Spanish (through books and tapes) to gain the necessary skills to effectively counsel my Spanish-speaking patients within the pharmacy setting. This led to the writing of the "Spanish for Pharmacists" book which RXinsider still sells to community pharmacies throughout the United States.
Interesting note: The Spanish for Pharmacists book is what started the company RXinsider back in the late 1990's.
Content is hosted within the READINESS libraryGlen Greenwald was one of the first reporters to see — and write about — the Edward Snowden files, with their revelations about the United States' extensive surveillance of private citizens. In this searing talk, Greenwald makes the case for why you need to care about privacy, even if you’re “not doing anything you need to hide."
TED - Why Privacy MattersRichard Culatta works for the U.S. Department of Education as the Director of the Office of Educational Technology.
Richard Culatta identifies 3 major challenges with our current approach to education and suggests how a shift to personalized learning is the key to the future of education in America. To make this shift, we must close the digital divide between those who can leverage technology to reimagine learning and those who simply use technology to digitize the status quo.
Richard Culatta TEDx TalkThe MIT Media Lab's John Maeda lives at the intersection of technology and art, a place that can get very complicated. Here he talks about paring down to basics.
John Maeda is the president of the Rhode Island School of Design, where he is dedicated to linking design and technology. Through the software tools, web pages and books he creates, he spreads his philosophy of elegant simplicity.
Link to John Maeda: Designing for simplicityUntil recently, many teachers only got one word of feedback a year: “satisfactory.” And with no feedback, no coaching, there’s just no way to improve. Bill Gates suggests that even great teachers can get better with smart feedback -- and lays out a program from his foundation to bring it to every classroom.
Link to TED Talk by Bill GatesTim Brown says the design profession has a bigger role to play than just creating nifty, fashionable little objects. He calls for a shift to local, collaborative, participatory "design thinking" -- starting with the example of 19th-century design thinker Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Link to TED TalkTimothy Prestero thought he'd designed the perfect incubator for newborns in the developing world -- but his team learned a hard lesson when it failed to go into production. A manifesto on the importance of designing for real-world use, rather than accolades.
