(From the article): Almost all college professors are on social media these days. Many use it simply to connect with other professionals in their field or to post information on themselves and their research. But using social media inside the classroom can be extremely effective. Increase productivity, communication, and understanding by using these six tips.

6 useful tips. Worth reading (no more than 5 minutes) and have your thoughts about your use of social media in the classroom
Effective writing skills are to a writer what petrol is to a car. Like the petrol and car relationship, without solid skills writers cannot move ahead. These skills don’t come overnight, and they require patience and determination.
Having roiled the music recording and newspaper industries, the Internet is now churning through universities and colleges.
Much media attention has been paid to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), where universities post course material online to be freely consumed by tens or even hundreds of thousands of citizens.
Making quality educational material available at no cost will obviously play a significant role in tomorrow's education system. But using digital tools to personalize the education process offers the biggest return on our scarce education dollars. Via Ana Cristina Pratas

You don’t need an expert for this – you just needs someone who knows the answer to the problem. So we have attempted to scale by connecting people with many other students. Instructors are still there, for the tough and difficult problems. ==> But students can help each other out, and are expected to do so. <==
Gust MEES's insight:
I agree completely with that and I encourage students to learn while using curation as their own resources and joining a #PLN (Personal Learning Network) where they could even make a Peer-Review by themselves first and later by their "Coach" (Teacher, Professor, Instructor...) for final advice ;)
Students in 21st Centure are mature enough already (mostly) to do so and I encourage them to choose that way, BUT listen to the Master, YOUR "Coach" and try to go for a win-win situation, every body wins and NOBODY looses, OK!? ;) Enjoy that new way of learning, it's a great way of learning with fun and on YOUR own pace... ===> #motivation #success #criticalthinking #proactivethinking #society #21stC

Learning is the master skill, the ability that allows us to realize our ambitions: succeeding in school, getting ahead at work, playing a sport or a musical instrument, speaking a second language. Yet until recently, even the experts didn’t understand how learning works. ===> Now research in cognitive science, psychology and neuroscience is revealing the simple and surprising techniques that can help us learn to be smarter. <===

A very visual illustration of learning theory.
Compromised websites have been an attractive target for cyber-criminals. These websites distribute different malwares designed to steal valuable information from the victim’s machine. McAfee has recently encountered a compromised website which distributes malicious .jar file and Fake AV.
Gust MEES's insight:
As with e-Learning, m-Learning and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) every one is visiting websites, so this should be of interest to anyone! Especially Education, Teachers, Educators, Instructors, Professors SHOULD be aware of this and accept the fact that Learning and Teaching basics of Cyber-Security in 21st Century is a MUST!

Tom Kellermann discusses the changes we can expect to see in 2013
The world has reached a point of inflection in cybercrime. As cyberspace abounds with cyber privateers, and many nations of the world become havens for these modern-day pirates, it appears that 2013 is the year of hacking for criminal gain.
In our recently released predictions for 2013, our CTO Raimund Genes illustrated his strategic vision per the future of cybercrime. The predictions highlight improvements in threats we will encounter in 2013, more specifically on the attack vectors used by cybercriminals. Raimund predicts that attackers will shift their strategy from developing sophisticated malware to focusing on the means to infiltrate networks and evade detection.

As you know, I'm big on infographic style presentations and I liked the explanation of content marketing that for most marketers (especially in non-tech or online businesses) is still a confusing area.
