The latest 5Across video show from PBS MediaShift is called "Beyond J-School" and is part of an in-depth series at MediaShift on how journalism education and training are changing in the digital age.

The show includes author and educator Howard Rheingold, multimedia trainer Lanita Pace-Hinton, author and J-school dropout Lea Aschkenas, SF State journalism professor Jon Funabiki, and SF State journalism student Kelly Goff.
One of Miami Dade College’s 10 Learning Outcomes encourages faculty members to find innovative ways to promote the use of technology in the classrooms and that’s exactly what a core group at the College is doing by venturing into the virtual world with a program called Second Life.

Artist Serafima Sokolov. BP Oil Spill
Meet Serafima Sokolov who immigrated to the United States just prior to the fall of the former Soviet Union with her parents. Following in the footsteps of her father Sergey Sokolov, a noted artist currently living in New York, Serafima has recently graduated with her BFA from FIU (Florida International University) Serafima has developed her own unique style, using modern technology only as her base platform; she transforms the real world around her into dreamlike mosaics using her classical training in oils, acrylics and other mediums to critique modern issues.
Her work has often been called haunting, the images ghostlike or ethereal. She casts an evocative eye towards modern issues such as war, equal rights and theocracy with a flare for the ironic, meshing images both modern and past into seamless ideas that are timeless. Her artwork has been shown in the OTKU Gallery in Jensen Beach FL, the Miami Art Palace, the Frost Art Museum and most recently, at the University of North Florida as a guest artist for Peace Awareness Week.
In this interview, Sokolov explains hr latest work on the BP oil spill in the Gulf.

Compuquip CEO Alberto Dosal wants to help you focus on the business of growing your business.
During the last 30 years he and his family have turned the Doral-based firm from a technology equipment-leasing outfit to one that installs networks, provides 24/7 network security and helps companies outsource their information technology through its managed IT services department.
And though security and sale of hard “is the bulk” of Compuquip’s business, Mr. Dosal said the managed services department has grown 80% over the last three and expects it to become a major part of the business.
He’s also beginning the long-term of job of passing leadership of the company to his two sons.
“What I always tell my sons is I want to get away more and more and more [from the] day to day operational aspect of the business and that'll happen over the next, lets say, five years,” Mr. Dosal said. “Eventually I will become chairman of the board and they will be co-CEOs.”
Additionally, he holds key roles at the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, heading up its Domestic Business Group, which oversees 12 committees, and sitting on the executive committee.
But when he’s not running the day-to-day operations of Compuquip or promoting collaboration amongst the chamber’s thousands of members, he’s looking forward to deep-sea fishing aboard the 54-foot vintage Betram Yacht he’s in the midst of restoring.
Mr. Dosal was interviewed in Compuquip’s headquarters by Miami Today staff writer Zachary S. Fagenson.

In 10 years Neoris, which provides information technology and outsources its management,
has grown for a primarily Mexican company to a global firm with more than 3,000 employees
across the globe and operations from Argentina to Hungary.
And for CEO Claudio Muruzábal, it’s only the beginning.
While the company’s main focus has been on implementing business software for Latin
American firms as the second largest consulting firm on the continent, it’s also looking at
building in-roads to Europe and on growing its market share on US.
“We grew 60% plus last year in the US. We’re going to double our size this year and we’re also
growing in New York,” Mr. Muruzábal said. “We have a strong Spanish organization that is
our beachhead into Europe although we have plans and projects going on in most of the large
countries in Europe.”
And when eyeing the future of business technology, he said the biggest game changer will come
in mobile technology and giving employees the information they need to make critical decisions
regardless of where they are.

After 10 years away from South Florida, American Airlines’ Marilyn DeVoe has returned to run the airline’s operations at Miami International Airport, where a new terminal is underway and nearing completion.
Ms. DeVoe most recently served as vice president at American’s Dallas/Fort Worth headquarters. In her new role running airline operations in Miami, she plans to focus on improving the customer experience.
In part, that means rolling out new technology like a handheld mobile device, now in the testing phase, that allows agents to issue tickets and bag tags to customers right on the spot.
Another aim: growing service. Today, American operates 289 flights daily and counting – up from the 19 daily flights Ms. DeVoe remembers from 20 years ago. Though most plans are still under wraps, Ms. DeVoe was able to reveal that the airline has applied for authority to run new service to Brasilia, Brazil.
Meanwhile, here in Miami, gates continue to open at the long-in-the-works new north terminal, expected to be complete in 2011.
“Every day we’re seeing improvements and continuing to grow,” Ms. DeVoe said. “If you walk through the concourse now, it is just a beautiful place to be, a great place to work.”
She talked airline growth and industry trends in an interview with Miami Today staff writer Risa Polansky.
