Broward Schools Mark Dual Milestones Marjorie Stoneman Volume 97 Number 46 | JULY 1-7, 2020 | MiamiTimesOnline.com | Ninety-Three Cents Broward Schools mark dual milestones School will resume with a hybrid model and seniors hype an app JULIANA ACCIOLY Miami Times Contributor Broward County public schools shutdown in March due to the new coronavirus and shifted to online learning. Three months later, the district has announced a tentative reopening plan for the 2020 - 21 school year. On June 20, Broward County Superintendent of Schools Robert Runcie said that schools will reopen on August 19 according to the physical distancing and health protocols that limit transportation and on-campus populations. Runcie said that BCPS has been exploring what to do through electronic surveys and based on responses by more than 80,000 parents/guardians, teachers, staff members, and students, Florida's second-largest school system is to adopt a hybrid educational format. The goal, said the superintendent, is to safely maximize the amount of time in school through a staggered days ap- proach, where four days a week students will be separated into two groups that will al- ternate between class- room-based instruction and distance learning. To further shield the community from infec- tion, Wednesdays will be reserved for e-learn- ing only while deep cleaning and sanitation take place on school grounds.

These are, first, Bergen, Norway the Global Value Chain perspective (GVC) that has now mutated into Global Production Networks (GPN) and, more recently, Global Innovation Networks (GIN). Examples of why this should be are exemplified (e.g. Scandinavia’smobile telephony ‘creative destruction’). The second perspective is that of Territorial Innovation Systems. This addresses the innovative core of ‘creative destruction’ events which, in turn, explains economic growth and development. In recent times this has been significantly undergirded by means of concepts like ‘relatedness’, ‘proximity’ and ‘path dependence’. These perspectives are combined to produce a framework for analysing the contribution of an increasingly commoditised ICT assembly industry to high-value, customised ‘chipset’ and ‘apps’ design around smartphones, netbooks and flat panel display (FPD) technologies that express the GIN/TIS complex in global ‘value curve’ integration. Here ‘creative destruction’ recombinations arise because, from an evolutionary perspective, the regions in which they emerge display technological ‘relatedness’ and regional ‘regimes’ that foster co-innovation, in this case ICT-based co-innovation. Introduction This paper will home in on a spatial understanding of today’s rapidly changing ICT technology platforms in convergent ICT in the smartphones, tablets, netbooks and flat screen products businesses in key innovative growth and transitioning regions of northern Europe, California and Asia Pacific, notably China, Taiwan and South Korea.

The iPad app perfectly positions shopkick for new feature rollouts that will deepen the social shopping experience and boost the contextually aware digital layer shopkick adds to the physical shopping world. “Consumers love to use their iPad at home on the couch, and their phone at the store, but they are the same person, and they want the same app to solve all their shopping needs,” said Cyriac Roeding, CEO of shopkick. “We’re working toward integrating discovery, payment, loyalty, promotions in one app across mobile platforms, and retailers welcome that. They want to be relevant in shoppers’ new multi- screen environments. shopkick delivers the right touch points at the right moments in a shopper’s journey from couch to cash register.” In 2013, Forrester Research predicts that the web will influence $1.3 trillion dollars of in-store sales, more than five times of the $230 million that will be spent online this year.
