21st Century Learning and Teaching

Das Internet der Dinge, also die umfassende Vernetzung von Sensoren aller Art, birgt gravierende Sicherheitsrisiken. So könnte daraus bald das größte Botnetz aller Zeiten entstehen.
Das Internet der Dinge (Internet of Things, IoT) ist derzeit der vermutlich angesagteste Hype in der IT-Welt. Von der umfassenden Vernetzung von Endgeräten aller Art versprechen sich viele Manager neue Geschäftschancen. Nach Schätzungen der Experten von McKinsey führt das Internet der Dinge zu einem wirtschaftlichen Mehrwert von bis zu 1.100 Milliarden Dollar in den kommenden zehn Jahren. Aber wie sieht es mit der Sicherheit aus?

Angriffe über Thingbots: In den vergangenen Jahren gab es bereits mehrere Attacken auf IoT-Sensoren und -Geräte.
(Quelle: Globalsign ) Lea Toms, Regional Marketing Manager bei Globalsign, warnt vor gigantischen Netzwerken aus IoT-Sensoren, die von Angreifern zu Botnetzen verknüpft werden können, um beispielsweise kritische Infrastrukturen anzugreifen oder um Schadsoftware zu verbreiten. Sie nennt diese Netze „Thingbots“: „Je mehr das Internet der Dinge an Bedeutung gewinnt, desto mehr Geräte und Dinge sind potenziell gefährdet, Teil eines Thingbots werden.“

One of the greatest aspects of teaching students critical thinking skills is that, especially when compared to traditional classroom activities, critical thinking exercises can be a lot of fun.

Have you ever asked someone you trusted, respected or admired for his or her feedback and constructive criticism about your work performance? If not, consider giving it a try

Obtaining constructive criticism can be a powerful exercise. For some, it may confirm the perceptions they already had of themselves. Others will find it to be an eye-opening experience.

For the most part, you’ll find that people feel flattered to be a part of your proactive personal development.

Does obtaining feedback and constructive criticism really work? For me, it’s provided an opportunity to learn things about myself I didn’t always know. The feedback also allowed me to adjust certain behaviors so I could positively impact the perception of others. What’s not to love about that?

One of the most effective ways to provoke student thought is through the building of “rich” questions. By asking meaningful questions - and interacting with textual information – students can come to an understanding that builds upon on their own personal experiences and opinions. Through the use of a template, questions can be created in any way that you want and provide you with a specific platform to begin your questioning focus.

Every teacher I've worked with over the last five years recalls two kinds of digital experiences with students.

The first I think of as digital native moments, when a student uses a piece of technol

Traditional methods do not suit modern classrooms, expert says

Professor Fullan identifies them as the root of the problem. But he stresses that the new methods of teaching he describes take teachers beyond being “mere facilitators” to becoming “partners” who recognise the “importance of proactively learning alongside students”.

“Through such partnering, teachers not only become learners themselves, but also begin to see learning through the eyes of their students,” he writes.

“This ‘visibility’ is essential if teachers are to continuously challenge students to reach for the next step.”

The report acknowledges that many of the teaching strategies it describes have been “advocated for at least a century by the likes of Dewey, Piaget, Montessori and Vygotsky”.

But it says that today’s conditions means they are now being widely embraced: “

Through the combination of the ‘push’ of traditional schooling that fails to keep students or teachers engaged, and the ‘pull’ of new pedagogies unleashed through digital access, the transformation of education systems on a broad scale becomes not only possible, but inevitable.”
