The dark web: What it is and how it works | #ICT #CyberCrime #CyberSecurity  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Off the paths it is almost impossible to find anything – unless you know what you’re looking for – so it feels a bit like a treasure hunt. Because really the only way to find anything in this vast forest is to be told where to look. This is how the dark web works – and it is essentially the name given to all the hidden places on the internet.

Just like the forest, the dark web hides things well – it hides actions and it hides identities. The dark web also prevents people from knowing who you are, what you are doing and where you are doing it. It is not surprising, then, that the dark web is often used for illegal activity and that it is hard to police.

Birmingham Covington: Building a Student-Centered School

Birmingham Covington: Building a Student-Centered School | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
A group of middle school students in full beekeeping gear examines one of the hives their school keeps in the woods nearby. “Ooh, there’s honey!” says one excitedly. “I see nectar!” says another.

These eager fifth and sixth graders from Birmingham Covington, a public magnet school in suburban Michigan focused on science and technology, are empowered to become self-directed learners through hands-on experiences in and outside their classroom.

Birmingham Covington’s student-centered philosophy is embedded throughout the curriculum, from third- and fourth-grade classes focused on teaching individual resourcefulness to an almost wholly independent capstone class in seventh and eighth grade called Thinkering Studio.

 

Teachers at the school often say they’re “teaching kids to teach themselves” and rarely answer questions directly; instead they ask students to consider other sources of information first. Even the classrooms, with their spacious communal tables and movable walls, emphasize fluid group and peer-to-peer dynamics over teacher-led instruction.

Tinder für Teenager? Was Eltern und Erzieher über „Yellow“ wissen sollten | #DigitalCitiZENship #SocialMedia

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

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.

The Evidence Base for How We Learn: Supporting Students’ Social, Emotional, and Academic Development

The Evidence Base for How We Learn: Supporting Students’ Social, Emotional, and Academic Development | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

"The Evidence Base for How We Learn: Supporting Students’ Social, Emotional, and Academic Development articulates the scientific consensus regarding how people learn. The research brief presents a set of consensus statements—developed and unanimously signed onto by the Commission’s Council of Distinguished Scientists—that affirm the interconnectedness of social, emotional, and academic development as central to the learning process.

"The brief draws from brain science, medicine, economics, psychology, and education research to describe why it is essential to address the social, emotional, and cognitive dimensions of learning; how these dimensions together shape students’ academic and life outcomes; and how these competencies can be taught throughout childhood, adolescence, and beyond. The evidence outlined in this brief moves the nation beyond the debate as to whether schools should attend to students’ social and emotional development, to how schools can integrate social, emotional, and academic development into their daily work."

10 Qualities of an Effective Community Manager | #DigitalSkills #SocialMedia #ICT #Jobs | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
As more companies and more industries buy into the benefits of social media and community development, the number of job opportunities available for professionals with community-building skills also continue to grow.

Companies are looking for professionals who can blend their skills to effectively deliver updates to a community, but also have the ability to tap into that community to collect feedback for a company to use for improving its product or delivering its message.

While the job opportunities grow, so to do the number of professionals who include community skills on their resumes and profiles. On LinkedIn alone, the number of people who have added "Community Management" to their skills list is up 46% year-over-year.

But being a quality community manager goes beyond having the knowledge and background to use social media networks. Here are 10 qualities a community manager should possess to improve the chances of success in the position, according to professionals who work within social media and community today.

Studie: Computerspielen kann Lernerfolge bringen | #Gaming #ICT | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Computerspielen kann Lernerfolge bringen

Wer spielt, hat Vorteile beim Verknüpfen von Lerninhalten und bei der Speicherung im Langzeitgedächtnis - das zeigt eine Studie der Universität Bochum. Games könnten auch positive Auswirkungen im Alter haben - allerdings ist dieses Studienergebnis nicht unumstritten.


Wissenschaftler der Ruhr-Universität Bochum haben sich mit den Auswirkungen von Computerspielen auf das Gehirn beschäftigt. Ihr Ergebnis: Games können positive Auswirkungen auf bestimmte Lernfunktionen haben, vor allem auf unsere Verarbeitung von Bildern, das Verknüpfen unterschiedlicher Inhalte und die Speicherung im Langzeitgedächtnis.

 

Außerdem können wichtige Gebiete im Gehirn wachsen, was nach allgemeinem Wissensstand positive Auswirkungen hat - unter anderem kann es nachlassenden Gedächtnisleistungen im Alter vorbeugen.

IoT: Don't Forget Privacy And Security While Racing To The Price Bottom

IoT: Don't Forget Privacy And Security While Racing To The Price Bottom | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
There is no doubt that companies of all shapes and sizes are increasing their spend in internet-of-things (IoT) technology. In fact, IDC projects this to be a $1.4 trillion market by 2021. With the increased spend and demand by consumers for low-price and high-value IoT devices, makers of these connected technologies have put a premium on affordability. The race to the bottom on price has inadvertently created major risks for organizations and consumers, according to PwC’s “Uncovering the Potential of the Internet of Things” report.

The pressure is on, and we see many makers of connected devices that produce IoT products as inexpensively as possible skipping important steps such as the design of security and privacy protections. This is generating significant new risks that are not widely understood during a time when consumers are more concerned about price than privacy and security. Risks include physical, software, encryption and network attacks, all of which could have wide-ranging effects on our daily lives, from taking over a connected car to obtaining sensitive data from a connected home to accessing a private network via a wearable device.

 

Also, there are societal concerns, including getting access to valuable intellectual property, sabotage to companies or governments and espionage. Consumer-focused companies need to ensure they are meeting their customers’ concerns. Simply put, the proper cybersecurity and privacy measures can aid businesses in seeing the full potential of IoT.

What Creativity Really Is - and Why Schools Need It | #ModernEDU #ModernLEARNing 

What Creativity Really Is - and Why Schools Need It | #ModernEDU #ModernLEARNing  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
What is creativity?


Although creativity is often defined in terms of new and useful products, I believe it makes more sense to define it in terms of processes. Specifically, creativity involves cognitive processes that transform one’s understanding of, or relationship to, the world.

A society thrives when individuals are given the space to create or imitate ideas. 

There may be adaptive value to the seemingly mixed messages that teachers send about creativity. Creativity is the novelty-generating component of cultural evolution. As in any kind of evolutionary process, novelty must be balanced by preservation.

In biological evolution, the novelty-generating components are genetic mutation and recombination, and the novelty-preserving components include the survival and reproduction of “fit” individuals. In cultural evolution, the novelty-generating component is creativity, and the novelty-preserving components include imitation and other forms of social learning.

It isn’t actually necessary for everyone to be creative for the benefits of creativity to be felt by all. We can reap the rewards of the creative person’s ideas by copying them, buying from them or simply admiring them. Few of us can build a computer or write a symphony, but they are ours to use and enjoy nevertheless.

How to become a Modern Professional Learner – Modern Workplace Learning Magazine | #ModernLEARNing

How to become a Modern Professional Learner – Modern Workplace Learning Magazine | #ModernLEARNing | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

What has become very clear over the last 11 years is that many individuals are now using a wide selection of web-based resources, tools, and services to learn in new ways, and in doing so they have become highly independent continuous learners.

I call these individuals, Modern Professional Learners.

These Modern Professional Learners don’t just have a modern toolset for learning – i.e. they don’t just rely on educational or training tools, but they make use of a wide variety of everyday tools – they also have a new mindset about how and when learning happens for, at and through work, as well as a new learning skillset.

Modern Professionals learn for many different reasons – not just because they have to, to become competent and compliant in their organisation – but because they want to, for their own personal and professional reasons. Here are some of those reasons:

To acquire a new body of knowledge or a new skill

 

To solve a performance problem

 

To improve the work they currently do

 

To keep up to date with what’s happening in their industry or professional

 

To prepare for the future

 

For inspiration

 

To innovate (i.e. do or think differently)

 

For the joy of learning

This is a good way to be organized 8n order to share documents or information. Teachers also can approach the infografics and the way they are organized to be implemente in the classroom. 
Some tips are very useful so as to let us to know what kind of content can be shared.

Leadership is helping make the network smarter | #ServantLEADERship

Leadership is helping make the network smarter | #ServantLEADERship | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Organizations face more complexity in the type of work they do, the problems they face, and the markets they interact with. This is due to increasing connections between everyone and everything. To deal with this complexity, organizations should loosen hierarchies and strengthen networks. This challenges command and control management as well as the concept that those in leadership positions are special. Leadership in networks is an emergent property.

In networks, everyone can be a contributor within a transparent environment. Effective networks are diverse and open. Anyone can lead in a network, if there are willing followers. Those who have consensus to lead have to actively listen and make sense of what is happening. They are in service to the network, to help keep it resilient through transparency, diversity of ideas, and openness. Servant leaders help to set the context around them and build consensus around emergent practices.

Traditional management and planning models strive for order and use periodic change management to deal with complexity and chaos. But complexity is becoming the more common state in the network era. This means shifting the focus from analyzing situations, to making constant experiments and learning from them.

Suspensions Don’t Teach | Restorative practices are a burgeoning alternative to traditional punitive justice 

Suspensions Don’t Teach | Restorative practices are a burgeoning alternative to traditional punitive justice  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The world of education is alive with buzzwords like innovation, inclusion, and mindfulness; another term gaining traction is restorative practices, also called restorative justice. Restorative practices are a burgeoning alternative to traditional punitive justice such as suspensions (both in school and out of school) and other exclusionary forms of discipline.

Many states are legislating a movement away from prescribed punitive justice for misbehavior in schools, and restorative practices are gaining in esteem as an evidence-based intervention that has proven successful when implemented correctly. Major school districts in San Francisco, Denver, and Houston are implementing restorative practices to combat inequalities in suspension and disciplinary referrals. These districts are finding that restorative practices, once understood, can be implemented with just a few simple steps.

Glossary of French expressions in English - Wikipedia

Glossary of French expressions in English - Wikipedia

Around 45% of English vocabulary is of French origin, most coming from the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English.

Example <===> savoir-faire: lit. "know how to do"; to respond appropriately to any situation.

What does a community manager do and what skills do they need? | #DigitalSkills #SocialMedia #ICT #Jobs

What does a community manager do and what skills do they need? | #DigitalSkills #SocialMedia #ICT #Jobs | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
If you work in social media, explaining your job can be a frustrating experience - especially to family members who probably assume that you just use Facebook all day. 

For Community Managers, in particular, there tends to be a lot of confusion over exactly what the role entails.

To clear things up, I thought I’d delve into the world of community management and find out why it’s becoming increasingly important for brands of all kinds.

Here’s a beginner’s guide.

What does a community manager do?

The role of a community manager is to act as the bridge between a brand and the community it is aiming to create (i.e. a loyal audience or group of core consumers connected by a similar interest). 

They should be the brand’s ambassador, engaging with potential customers and building relationships with existing ones. They are also focused on gauging sentiment around the brand, using social listening tools in order to monitor feedback and engagement.

Ist ein Text episch, dann erzählt und berichtet er dem Leser ausführlich über eine Handlung, die zumeist in der Vergangenheit liegt. Er zeichnet sich dabei nicht durch rhythmische oder metrische Merkmale aus, wobei er außerdem nicht an Reime oder Verse gebunden ist und somit als ungebundene Rede erscheint (vgl. Prosa). Darüber hinaus gibt es in epischen Texten einen Erzähler (vgl. Erzählperspektiven).
