What is professional development? It is pretty much anything that helps one develop professionally. At the heart, professional development is about growth and learning. In the field of education, it seems like many quickly think of educational opportunities that mimic what they see in their schools. As a result, they turn professional learning and education into schooling. The problem with that is that schooling is too limiting. In this age, there are many other exciting and high-impact learning opportunities for teachers that extend beyond traditional notions of schooling. When we hear the phrase “professional development,” certain practices likely come to mind, things like in-services and conferences. In the digital age, there are countless other opportunities for professional development and restricting one’s thoughts to just a few options limits our insight into what is possible for our students. With that in mind, here is a brainstorm of 20 options available to educators today. This is far from an exhaustive list, but it is enough to start exploring the possibilities. Feel free to suggest others in a comment to this post.

Cryptolunch.lu, la cybersécurité à la portée des citoyens
Cryptolunch.lu est un évènement gratuit, organisé au Luxembourg, dédié à l'information des citoyens européens à la protection de la vie privée et la sécurité en ligne.
L'utilisation massive des Technologies de l'Information et de l'Information a fait évoluer les limites entre vie privée et vie publique. Alors que nous sommes toujours plus connectés, une masse exponentielle de données personnelles nous concernant est échangée, tant en ligne que hors ligne. La vie privée est pourtant un droit qu'il est important de défendre.
Organisé en partenariat entre la maison de l'Europe et Securitymadein.lu, la finalité des cryptolunch est de mettre à disposition un lieu de rencontre où les citoyens européens auront l'opportunité de s'entretenir avec des experts en sécurité afin d'obtenir des informations sur des sujets tels que la vie privée et la sécurité numérique.
Créé afin de permettre à un public non spécialisé d'obtenir des réponses claires et simples à ses questions, ce rassemblement est idéal pour répondre aux attentes de profils très variées en termes de sécurité sur Internet. Learn more: http://www.scoop.it/t/securite-pc-et-internet/?tag=ENCRYPTION

The Internet has become a major part of most people’s days and nights. It’s often the thing people check first thing in the morning, and the thing people do last with their smartphones before bedtime.

What about all of the knowledge and information acquired by an organization and its employees in the normal course of business? Should this information be shared?

Confidence that a 'one size fits all' global economy and that the 'Western canon' of knowledge are sufficient to see humanity through the next phase of its transformations and adjustments has diminished dramatically over the past years.
We have an economic system that is certainly not a tide that floats all boats. We have challenges to the dominance of traditional knowledge claims as well. What does this mean for higher education, for social responsibility and for the way forward?

How can we create organizations and governments that are cooperative, productive, and creative? These are the questions of social physics, and they are especially important right now, because of global competition, environmental challenges, and government failure.
The engine that drives social physics is big data: the newly ubiquitous digital data that is becoming available about all aspects of human life. By using these data to build a predictive, computational theory of human behavior we can hope to engineer better social systems.

The idea of formulating a link analysis problem as an eigenvalue problem was probably first suggested in 1976 by Gabriel Pinski and Francis Narin, who worked on scientometrics ranking scientific journals. PageRank was developed at Stanford University by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1996 as part of a research project about a new kind of search engine.

New allegations also suggest EU computer networks were hacked The US intelligence service may have placed bugs in European Union (EU) buildings as part of its PRISM spying program, it has emerged from documents released by whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Documents seen by the German newspaper Spiegel suggest that not only were bugs installed in the EU's offices in Washington, but also that the building's computer network was infiltrated. Through this, surveillance teams had the capability to listen to discussions in several offices belonging to the EU, as well as being able to access emails and documents on computers.
