Bring Your Own Device policies could be a good way for schools to digitalize the teaching environment without breaking the bank.
Yet, before opening up their networks to devices students bring from home, it is important that schools take steps to ensure ===> that it’s done safely and effectively. <=== Jonathan P. Costa, Sr. – writing for EDTECH – details what the schools need to do to accomplish that goal. No comment yet.

Deploying education technology in your classroom is a big task. Here's a few things to know about before you make the leap.
Safety First We would like to believe that everyone using your school’s wireless will be completely appropriate online. However, that is not always the case. As your school begins to move toward integrating technology into the classroom, you must create a terms of use policy. Students, and teachers, should be familiar with this policy. They should have access to the policy and be required to sign it before they are allowed Internet access.
IT Support Staff With a large amount of wireless use, an IT support staff is inevitable. Be sure your school is equipped with IT support. Whether this is designated teachers or an entirely separate staff, make sure someone knows how to fix problems when they arise. Keep these staff well versed on all devises that will be used in the classrooms.

A new survey has found rising interest in mobile device management platforms to address mobile security threats. Still, few IT professionals indicate a real deployment of the platforms.
The survey found that 34 percent of respondents considered mobile devices a serious threat to business, and 55 percent said they were thinking more about the security of corporate smartphones and tablets than they did last year. Despite the attention given to mobile malware and attacks targeting device owners, the biggest threat to enterprises are lost and stolen devices, according to most security experts.

Starting on 4 March 2011, the University is now offering a course on exploring challenges of sustainable development. The course, entitled ‘Science and citizens meet challenges of sustainability’, is open to the public and students from all degree programmes.
The lectures will be held in English, however, the lecturers are multi-lingual and can interact with the participants in German and French.
All applications must be sent to sustainability@uni.lu by 20 January Participation in the course means joining a diverse learning community with representatives of firms, NGOs, government, students and fourteen lecturers from diverse disciplines such as ecology, political science, physics and psychology.
The course will address questions on agro-food production (how fair is safe enough) and on sustainable energy production and use ( technologies and cultures).

A wonderful resource for learning how to evaluate technology for possible use in the classroom. Also, don't forget to note Larry's other links within this text for: (dead links. Active links in text) The Best Places To Learn Web 2.0 Basics The Best Guides For Helping Teachers Develop Personal Learning Networks The Best Places To Find Research On Technology & Language Teaching/Learning
KEN'S KEY TAKEAWAY: In addition, studies have found that having students write for an "authentic" audience beyond just the teacher helps them feel motivated to do a better job, and plenty of online opportunities, including communicating with "sister classes" from around the world, can provide those venues, as well as offering exposure to different cultures.

Les notions scientifiques enseignées dans cette spécialité sur un horaire de 2h hebdomadaires doivent permettre « de comprendre les usages (internet, réseaux sociaux, ...), les créations (objets numériques, représentations 3D), les applications (logiciels) et les enjeux de l’informatique (sécurité, confidentialité, protection de la personne). » Via Laurent Blanquer

Gérard BERRY informaticien, professeur au Collège de France, membre de l’Académie des Sciences est catégorique : « Internet et les objets informatisés sont familiers aux enfants bien plus qu’aux adultes. Pour que, dans leur vie d’adulte, ils transforment cette familiarité en utilisation habile et créative plutôt qu’en consommation servile de ce qui se fait ailleurs, il faut qu’ils comprennent tôt les fondements et les formes de pensées nouvelles de l’informatique. ===> Il est donc indispensable que son enseignement débute dès le plus jeune âge, en primaire et au collège." <===
