I must admit that I find the field of infographics fascinating. In my Zite reader, I'm excited when one of them makes any of the categories that I follow and, to be sure that I get a daily fix, I ... Here’s one of the infographics that I spent time looking at this morning. It’s titled “The pros and cons of social media in education” and was blogged by the Edtech Times who credit the authorship to OnlineUniversities.com.

"Knowledge Management professionals acknowledge that the two main types of knowledge are tacit and explicit. The differences between the two are vast, yet only one is the most important: tacit. Despite the fact that many Knowledge Management (KM) researchers believe that around 80% of organizational knowledge consists of tacit knowledge, there are far more KM tools available for capturing explicit knowledge. Why is this?"

Read about the latest cyber security trends in the Sophos Security Threat Report 2013. Most malware developers have found it more profitable to attack Windows than to learn new skills needed to target the smaller OS X user community. ===> But Macs are finding a new home in thousands of businesses and government agencies, and malware authors are paying attention. <===
Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillette recently reported that “almost half of enterprises (1,000 employees or more) are issuing Macs to at least some employees—and they plan a 52% increase in the number of Macs they issue in 2012.”
===> Even more Macs are arriving unofficially through bring your own device arrangements, where they are often an executive’s device of choice for accessing web or cloud applications. <=== ===> Growing Mac usage means many IT organizations must objectively assess, mitigate, and anticipate Mac-related malware threats for the first time. And the risks are clearly increasing! <=== ============================================= Gust MEES Check also my Curation about it: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security

"Let’s focus on the resulting element — the “collective intelligence”. Think about it as billions of human brains working using future super computers as a platform. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Srini Devadas described “collective intelligence” as consisting of two pillars: cloud computing and crowd computing. Cloud computing is using the Internet as a platform and making access to information available to everyone. Crowd computing, according to him, involves the analysis of information into “collective intelligence” far beyond what we have today."

Celly qu'est-ce que c'est ? L'idée est géniale : pouvoir créer en 2 clics son propre réseau "twitter-like" (à la façon de Twitter) privé ou public ! Il vous suffit de créer un compte, créer votre « cell » (un groupe) et d’inviter des personnes à y participer. Plusieurs configurations sont possibles mais restent très simples. Vous pouvez ainsi rendre votre « cell » publique ou privée. Pour s’y connecter les personnes doivent soit fournir un pseudo, soit une mini biographie, soit le mot de passe que vous leur aurez préalablement fourni. Vous pouvez ajouter une image à votre « cell » en indiquant son URL sur Internet. Vous pouvez programmer un message à l’avance. Il est même possible de créer un sondage à la manière des questions sur Facebook. Enfin, pour les « cells » avec un grand nombre d’utilisateurs, il est possible à un administrateur de modérer certains messages.
