21st Century Learning and Teaching

Site Safety Center

Gust MEES: In a world where nearly everything is getting shared it is very important to make sure that the shared websites (URL's) are safe! But how to know this?

Teachers as also learners share websites, so basics of IT-Security (not ONLY Internetsafety) are a MUST in Education!

Possible instructions for educators on how they can work together with the learners. Knowing the tools for 21st Century Learning is primordial to give quality courses. 

One very important knowledge who needs to get taught is “Critical Thinking”; it brings out also new ideas and the courage to become an engager and helps to try to build a better world in both worlds: “Real World” and “Virtual World” (Internet)!

When talking about #criticalthinking then automatically we should talk also about #responsibilities!

How-To do it and who to do it?

I suggest, if possible, to do this by any teacher, educator on the beginning of a new school year: There are no special technical skills needed and it takes ONLY 5-10 minutes to show the learners how-to use this application! If there are summer camps where some of the learners are present, do it also and ask them to share it with their class over Social Medias, such as Facebook, Twitter and others…

Talk also to your System Administrator on School to install this FREE application on any used computer and tablets to have the same standard in the school! Your and your students #virtuallife (Internet) would become more secure…

===> Less stress to find trustworthy web sites is also more time for teaching and learning! And you will help the COMMUNITY to surf more secure also… <===

21st Century How-To Guide For Teaching-People (teachers, professors, educators, instructors…)… A practical guide for teaching-people (teachers, professors, educators, instructors…...

[Beginning Text from www.informationweek.com]

Cybercriminals are looking for low-hanging fruit. Their targets are companies with poor defenses, a lack of security skills, and vulnerable end users. They’re looking for unlocked doors and open windows. The path of least resistance will always be the one most beaten down by bad guys.

There are many other reasons a cybercriminal might target your company and your employees, but the message is the same: ===> No business, no individual is immune. <=== Whether you are Sony or a mom-and-pop shop, you may be a target today. How you respond to that threat could make the difference between being safe and being breached. [End Text from www.informationweek.com]

In clear text this means that any private computer could be a target!

Can YOU drive a car (and this also safely) ONLY by getting theoretical courses and advice? YOU would surprise me, seriously, a BIG LOL for that. So how YOU will expect that someone could surf secure with his computer as it is “visually seen” the “vehicle” with whom users are driving on the “Data High Way” (Internet)!???

There is a need for practice, how!?

For most people it is very difficult to understand IT-Security and also the need to apply it…. To me it looks sometimes like that people see a computer as a modern typewriter and/or a game console, but that’s not the case.

I will try to explain to you a computer in a visual manner so that you might able to understand better why there is a need to protect your computer and also why a computer is in danger to get a virus, trojan, and other malware infections.

Why a computer could become a possible Cyber-Weapon who is attacking web-sites and perhaps also your Government’s web-sites!

You will find also an free Online-Glossary about #IT-Security terms and a free Online-Health-Check for your computer!
