Each year, families spend a lot of time in the kitchen together during the holidays. These moments not only make happy memories, but can be teachable moments as well, where children can learn valuable knowledge about the world around them.

Cooking can be used as a creative way to engage kids in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), which touches many aspects of daily living. Finding the connections between the classroom and day-to-day life can inspire children and pique their interest in these subjects.

Cooking and baking can be enjoyable pastimes for kids and parents who incorporate science in fun, interactive ways, ranging from the basics of measurements to thermodynamics and beyond.

Gust MEES's insight:

Die meisten Kinder freuen sich vor der Einschulung auf ihren neuen Lebensabschnitt. Aber die Umstellung von der spielerischen Kindergartenzeit zum Lernen in der Schule ist groß. „Es ist keine Seltenheit, dass Kinder sich nach den ersten Wochen oder Monaten überfordert fühlen und eine Lernunlust entwickeln“, sagt Fritz Jansen, Psychologe und Autor.

Es sei sehr wichtig, frühzeitig auf eine Lernunlust zu reagieren und die Kinder aktiv zu unterstützen. Im Alltag ist oft wenig Zeit für Gespräche. Doch für die Lernmotivation ist es von großer Bedeutung, dass die Kinder von ihren Erlebnissen erzählen können.
Eltern sollten sich aufrichtig für die Schule interessieren und nachfragen, statt auszufragen, empfiehlt Hanna Hardeland, Lehrerin und Lerncoach aus Hamburg.

Mit den Eltern das neue Wissen und die Erfahrungen zu teilen, macht Kinder stolz und schenkt ihnen Wertschätzung. Wichtig ist, dass Eltern nicht nur Fehler ansprechen - sondern vor allem viel loben.

Smartphone zombie

A smartphone zombie (German: smombie) is a pedestrian who walks slowly and without attention to their surroundings because they are focused on their smartphone. This is now a significant safety hazard since distracted pedestrians cause accidents. Cities such as Chongqing and Antwerp have introduced special lanes for smartphone users to help direct and manage them.

Gust MEES's insight:

Given the publicity attracted by recent high-profile data breaches and theconsequences for those whose personal information was subsequently leaked, it may, perhaps, concern parents to learn that around half of the sites examined by GPEN were happily and willingly sharing their children's data with third parties.

Also, considering the occasionally dark nature of the world we live in, anyone with responsibility for a child's welfare may well not like the revelation that just under 1 in 4 sites and apps gave kids the opportunity to upload their photo or add video clips. 22% of the services looked at also allowed youngsters to hand over their phone numbers.

Sadly, despite the potential problems posed by allowing children to share too much data, only 24% of the tested apps and websites encouraged any sort of parental oversight.

What's more, should a concerned adult discover that their offspring is revealing too much personal information, the options for remedying the situation are few and far between - with 71% of the investigated services making it difficult or impossible to delete accounts.

Adam Stevens, head of the ICO's intelligence hub said:

These are concerning results. The attitude shown by a number of these websites and apps suggested little regard for how anyone's personal information should be handled, let alone that of children.

Yes, I am a teacher. No, I am not a hero. I am not a martyr. Nor am I a saint, knight in shining armor or wizard. I am a teacher. I was two or three failing grades away from joining the family farm. I eat M&Ms, wear dirty socks on days that I forget to do my laundry, and eat salads that my fiancée makes me for lunch.

I appreciate the massive amount of support that has been poured over my profession ever since the cursed Common Core was implemented. But we teachers can handle the problems and negativity. We are not poor, helpless punching bags smacked around by big government and lawmakers.

Gust MEES's insight:

YouTube is a fantastic way to keep your kids entertained with a tablet or smartphone, but it’s also a little concerning. You just never know if your child will end up using the suggested videos feature to jump from Sesame Street’s Elmo to a drunk Elmo parody, or view inappropriate advertising.

Google is aiming to solve that problem with a new app called YouTube Kids available on Monday for Android and iOS. The Kurio and nabi kids’ tablets will also receive the app in the coming weeks.

Early reports about the app surfaced late last week, but details were a little thin. Now that the app is available we can say that at first glance this app should appeal to parents and kids alike.

Advice from Common Sense Media editors. Help keep your kids' online experiences positive and productive by learning the truth (and ignoring the rumors) about what really makes them safe.

By all means, use parental controls to help prevent exposure to age-inappropriate material and to manage time limits. But don't think they get you off the hook.

Continue to discuss responsible, respectful online behavior, set rules and consequences for misbehavior, and train your kid to manage his or her own usage.

L'étude s'interroge sur la finalité de ce pistage intensif et estime probable que ces données de géolocalisation soient revendues à des tiers.

Ainsi, sur les trois mois du test, «une des applications a accédé plus d'un million de fois à la géolocalisation», souligne les auteurs de l'étude, qui ajoutent avoir «du mal à relier cela à des fonctionnalités de l'application».

«Ces accès soulèvent une question de protection de la vie privée, transformant le téléphone en un instrument permanent de localisation de son propriétaire», indique la Cnil dans ses conclusions.

Si ce pistage peut procéder d'un simple effet d'aubaine, l'application collectant des informations qui ne seront pas forcément utilisées par la suite, la Cnil se demande si les applications ne chercheraient pas à acquérir des informations «en dehors de tout lien avec leurs fonctionnalités premières»

Tinder für Teenager? Was Eltern und Erzieher über „Yellow“ wissen sollten | #DigitalCitiZENship #SocialMedia | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

From www.bee-secure.lu - October 13, 2017 12:59 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Die App „Yellow“ funktioniert ähnlich wie die beliebte Dating-App „Tinder“ - mit dem kleinen Unterschied, dass sie auch eine Community für Jugendliche anbietet. BEE SECURE erklärt, was Eltern und Erzieher beachten sollten.

Das Prinzip ist wahrscheinlich jedem bekannt: Mit einem „Swipe“ nach links oder rechts entscheidet man sich für oder gegen das Profil einer Person. Bei gegenseitigem Gefallen bekommt man die Möglichkeit, mit der anderen Person zu kommunizieren. So funktioniert die Dating-App „Tinder“ und hunderte Apps, die das Prinzip nachahmen. Auch „Yellow“ nutzt dieses Prinzip, um unter anderem Jugendliche miteinander zu vernetzen.

Ziel der App ist es offiziell, neue Freunde zu finden – natürlich lädt das Prinzip auch dazu ein, zu flirten. Neben dem „swipen“ und chatten ist es möglich, Live-Videos über Yellow zu streamen. Diese können alle Nutzer (und nicht nur die Freunde) sehen.
