Calling all young people between the ages of 13 and 18*: Do you sing, act, write, or otherwise create? Get those creative juices flowing; put your “mad (artistic) skillz” to work, and help promote a positive message about life online.
Today, Microsoft is launching its first-ever Safer Online Teen Challenge. Teens are encouraged to submit creative works that champion one of many key messages ===> about being smarter and more secure on the Internet. <===
Works must be submitted by April 12, 2013, and our hundreds of thousands of thoughtful and learned Facebook fans will help select winners in five inspired categories: song, story/cartoon, skit/presentation, survey, and video.
===> BE SMART and START! ;) <===

Share this, please, with your school and give your students the possibility to take part in a challenge! They love challenges as their creativity will get involved ;)
- Schooling and education [in a digital and internet age]
Schooling, in terms of people going to a building from 8:00am to 3:00pm, is going to be less and less prevalent. Education is going to be lifelong. It’s going to start very early, and as long as people are active, they are going to have to keep learning. It’s very different than from a century ago when a person attended high school, if that, and he/she was set for life. A lot of education will take place via distance.
We don't yet know the pros and cons of distance learning with young kids. I certainly think human face-to-face interaction is very important, but we are going to have to demonstrate that to skeptics. Skeptics will say that if we can do distance learning with a 3-year-old, then that’s the way it should be done.
People who believe in face-to face learning and older people who believe in residential education, as I do, will have to show that it has benefits that distance learning does not. Some of the negatives connected with both distance and face-to-face learning (e.g. cheating, bullying) will also have to be dealt with. They wont be able to be swept up under the rug.
Love this great post from the folks at Always Prepared entitled: ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teachers Who Use Technology‘ and the infographic it inspired from Mark Bates. Both highlight “The Habitudes” of educators who are effectively using technology to enhance and impact teaching and learning. Hat tip to Shawn McCusker for this awesome Twitter find!
“I carry my thoughts about with me for a long time, often for a very long time before writing them down. I can... be sure that... I shall not forget [a theme] even years later. I change many things, discard others, and try again and again until I am satisfied: then, in my head, I begin to elaborate the work... the underlying idea never deserts me. It rises, it grows. I hear and see the image in front of me from every angle.” - Ludwig Van Beethoven (quoted by Hamberger 1952).

Technology is changing the world every day. But technology and innovation have been overlooked in education and now it is trying to catch-up. Cageless Thinking is an exploration into technology, innovation and how it can be used creatively to improve education. It is a guide for those to wish to look forward to the future of education.
Nearly two-thirds of IT professionals have admitted that they do not encrypt data stored on portable storage devices.
According to a survey of 106 delegates at IP Expo 2012 by iStorage, 64 per cent admitted to not encrypting data held on portable storage devices, while fewer (than those surveyed in 2011) believed that data loss was a serious concern. (!!!???)

I am actually preparing a new FREE course about the "Cyber-Security Practice-the basics" which everyone can and should learn, very easy actually... There will be also included a FREE solution for encrypting the complete Hard Disk, stay tuned... It will be published here (soon):
This Handbook explains and illustrates the basic grammatical rules concerning parts of speech, phrases, clauses, sentences and sentence elements, and common problems of usage.
You have a secret that can ruin your life. It’s not a well-kept secret, either. Just a simple string of characters—maybe six of them if you’re careless, 16 if you’re cautious—that can reveal everything about you.
Thanks to an explosion of personal information being stored in the cloud, tricking customer service agents into resetting passwords has never been easier.

Kaspersky Lab's recently released "Global Web Browser Usage and Security Trends" report sparks several important questions from a security perspective.
Running Chrome due to its built-in secure by default sandboxing technologies, running Firefox due its compatibility with NoScript, running Internet Explorer due to is acclaimed invincibility to social engineering attacks, or running Opera or Safari due to their small market share making it -- theoretically and practically -- a less valuable target for cybercriminals to attack, only mitigates a certain percentage of the risk of getting infected with malware, and are only part of the Defense-in-Depth concept.

OF COURSE "Third Party Applications" and "Browser-Plugins" are a MUST to update as well!!!
Governments need to know what problems the cybersecurity legislation is meant to address, or they will face public backlash over the possible intrusions to their personal rights.
Se protéger des dangers d’Internet, c’est le titre d’un dossier de présentation de l’Université de Limoges diffusée en janvier 2012 (54 pages, en pdf), support de formation sur cette thématique qui donne des clés de compréhension, sur Internet, sur les menaces, pour comprendre et s’adapter. Des conseils pratiques et techniques sont délivrés.
Cette présentation est proposée par Xavier Montagutelli (responsable de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Informations au Service Commun Informatique de l’Université de Limoges).
The pub argument is dead. Google killed it with a little help from your smartphone.
A recent study suggests that our modern lifestyles are making us “less intelligent” than our ancestors, at least at a genetic level. This research echoes concerns Einstein had when he supposedly said,
===> “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots.” <===
Entretien avec Bruno Devauchelle, spécialiste des nouvelles technologies de l'information.
80% des enseignants ne sont pas bien outillés pour rechercher des savoirs attestés sur internet et ils n'en sont pas conscients. Comme la majorité de la population, ils sont un peu perdus face au caractère dynamique de Wikipédia. Traditionnellement, chaque professeur organise son propre environnement informationnel, plus ou moins maîtrisé et ouvert. Sur Wikipédia ce qui est intéressant, ce sont les liens en bas de page.
J'ai eu l'occasion il y a quelques années de suivre un cours d'université sur un article d'une demi-page dans Universalis, sur l'idéologie. Nous l'avons décortiqué pendant un semestre entier de cours tellement il y avait de références implicites !
Bien que cela prenne du temps, l'intérêt de Wikipédia est aussi de consulter les hyperliens, les références, ===> ce que la majorité des utilisateurs, enseignants compris, ne fait pas. <===
Last week, on the day before Thanksgiving vacation, several of my fifth-graders voluntarily stayed after school with me to work on a project for which they would receive no grade: producing calendars based on poems and illustrations they had...

Great examples how one can use 21st Century tools in the classroom while every part is well described with "Definition", *Workflow", *Tools", "Workshop Description"... This is how it should be, take it as a very good practice example!
¿No estaremos hablando de una Educación Transmedia? De mejorar la experiencia del usuario universitario, combinar conocimientos y TIC`s en la construcción del conocimiento en el aula...
"Como educadores do século 21, devemos oferecer oportunidades para que os alunos demonstrem o domínio e compreensão do currículo, não só com texto, mas também com imagens, áudio e vídeo".Wesley Fryer.

Think twice before dumping that broken laptop - the data on it is a goldmine for cyber criminals...
Your personal data is valuable, and cyber criminals will pay for everything from bank logins and credit card details to the perhaps less obvious lists of contacts and email conversations. But just how much is your hard disk worth to a hacker? In this feature we’ll find out.
Social media has become an essential part of most people’s everyday lives, from checking Facebook and Twitter to posting blogs, Pinterest listings, and uploading YouTube videos. However, and with smartphones making it easier than ever to spend time on social media networks, in what ways can these networks be leveraged to engage and build a foundation for future student learning? While the potential of distraction is there, the right social media teaching strategies can lead to creative learning, and a productive approach to making social media part of ongoing professional development.
The media tends to love a story of some Cheeto-dusted, Mountain Dew-chugging troglodyte landing in rehab because Everquest or World of Warcraft more or less encompassed every millisecond of their lives and they, like, totally thought they were a Blood Elf mage in real life or something. Except MMORPGs, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games, actually benefit society when applied to certain situations, but nobody ever talks about it. Academics have seized upon these games in order to better illustrate classroom lessons, build necessary character skills, and other lovely things you’ll find out if you keep reading.
Today, no longer is having a high school diploma is enough to land a good job and support family. College is key today, but finding the funds to pay for it can be tricky. Brick and mortar institutions cost a fortune, and most have to work while going to school. But for those who can't juggle both, online learning can be a great option.
We know what that you may think this avenue is for slackers, but have a look at our infographic below, and your opinion may just change.
