Hi Robin, You are right! Most people even don't (yet) know the difference between aggregation and curation! AND 99% don't have even checked the help files, nor the TOS and seen the help videos :((( I was asking Scoop.it through a tweet to display ALSO the TOP Quality authors, curators by applying the Quality Score from Scoop.it!
Robin Good's comment, March 10, 2013 7:43 PM
That is an appropriate request to make Gus. Scoop.it shoud showcase examples of what good curation is and help everyone raise the quality of the work done by modelling great models of curation at work.

Preventing Modern Attacks with Modern Defense and Testing Methodologies

Preventing Modern Attacks with Modern Defense and Testing Methodologies | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

 

===> Antivirus software (AV) is a necessary, but insufficient defense mechanism in this ever so common scenario and here is why. <===

 

The first stage of these attacks commonly involves exploiting a known vulnerability. AV focuses way down on attack phase three where it focuses on protecting against a common payload.  As an industry we must shield the vulnerability. This is done best through host and network based technologies that use vulnerability shielding techniques or a more rigid technology, application control.  

 

Unlike inferior pattern matching signatures, we need to embrace this broader approach of vulnerability shielding.  These techniques have been commonly used for a decade in network devices while host based advanced protection has been more slowly adopted.

 

As noted by the recent NY Times article, now is the time.  

 

===> As an industry we must raise the bar! None of us (vendors or practitioners) can persist in believing that if we build and deploy a traditional AV certified by historical AV testing techniques, that we’ll be safe. <===

Cyber security is about humans, not just IT

Computers do not make mistakes by themselves, so employees remain your biggest potential vulnerability. But they are also your strongest defence, if briefed properly.

Internet Safety & Security: A Shared Responsibility

Internet Safety & Security: A Shared Responsibility | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The Trustworthy Computing blog shares Microsoft perspectives about cloud computing. From security in the cloud to the evolution of IT, we show how Microsoft works to build a trustworthy cloud.

 

Microsoft and others in the technology industry have long maintained that helping to keep individuals and families safer online is a “shared responsibility” – among industry, government, law enforcement, civil society, and consumers themselves.

AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight, March 10, 2013 9:05 AM

G+ is catching up big time for many reasons.  Among these reasons is the Hangout integration.  

 

We just facilitated a remote 1.5 day leadership development session with Hangouts and it was fantastic.  

 

Google is sticking to their strategy and their value is starting to win people over.  I was never a fan and, through valuable features, I am changing my perspective on the suite of offerings.

 

This is a relevant infographic.

Things don’t build culture, people do... | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Don’t get me wrong, I still believe that we should still be investing in “things” such as technology to put into the hands of our students as they can give us some transformational opportunities for learning, but our best investment, in any organization, is always people.


 I have been hearing too many stories of people having to jump through so many hoops to go and learn on their own. As a professional we should also be able to invest in our own learning, but we have to see that people are doing this quite often and when they learn they bring value to the organization as well.

"Every time a kid comes home from school a parent asks the same question - 'What did you learn today?' - and the standard answer is usually 'Nothing.' "

 

The digital revolution hasn’t changed that, says Alberta educator, innovator and motivational speaker George Couros - but the social media tools our children take for granted could help parents get more than the usual one-word answer.

 

George will be discussing digital leadership, technology in the classroom, and how being a Parent 2.0 affects how you communicate with your children, at three lectures in 2013's Online Safety Week Keynote Speaker Series.

he credit hour is still higher education’s gold standard, even after President Obama’s vague endorsement last month of competency-based education and its focus on “performance and results” rather than seat time.

It’s unclear whether Obama’s call could help open the door for competency-based approaches by spurring changes to the current system of accreditation or the rules governing federal financial aid. Even so, colleges aren’t waiting on the feds.

But when it is ubiquitous, it becomes a part of who we are and how we learn. That is the pathway to helping students understand the world in which they live. When it is ubiquitous, students learn how to put it away when they want to or they need to. When it is ubiquitous, it is no longer special.

 

===> That is the moment when we stop worrying about integrating technology and start concerning ourselves with learning. <===
