The SEO Puzzle: The Most Important Pieces [Infographic]

The SEO Puzzle: The Most Important Pieces [Infographic] | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

It doesn’t really matter how much you study it, it’s almost impossible to get the perfect SEO (Search Engine Optimization) score for any long period of time.

 

Each search engine has their own algorithm to rank websites, and as if that wasn’t complicated enough, they change that algorithm frequently in order to perfect it and make sure that the same sites don’t hog up the top positions simply because they’ve figured out the x-factor in the algorithm to dodge other more popular sites that have the traffic, content mass, and extensive Internet presence enough to be ranked at the top.

 

I would probably need an endless number of articles to cover all the different aspects of the perfect SEO, and if I tried to do that, I would probably not be able to pinpoint it anyway.

InternetSafety for Kids & Families

InternetSafety for Kids & Families | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

In an age when everyone can author or share information to a mass audience almost instantly, it is more critical than ever to develop and sharpen our ability to discern the credible from the implausible things we see online.


There are many purveyors of false or biased information on the Internet – a company seductively advertising the effectiveness of its weight loss product, a politically-motivated organization hoping to persuade you to vote for their cause, a hacker attempting to fool you into clicking on something that infects your computer with malicious software.


Thankfully, among the mounds of information we find online, there is also the credible and the safe. It’s a good habit to have and teach others how to figure out which is which. I believe the skill to do this is made up of 2 basic things: information literacy and information security.

Responsible, reasonable netizens aren’t born – they’re made, and it all begins with their parent guiding them.

Responsible, reasonable netizens aren’t born – they’re made, and it all begins with their parent guiding them. | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Instead of bruises and cuts, however, your child may be exposed to inappropriate content, online bullying, or malware. One most recent example is the rogue version of the famous Bad Piggies game app, which lures in victims with the promise of a free version of the game. These and other threats are the troubles you will have to make sure your child steers clear away from.

 

It’s a parent’s responsibility to ensure that wherever their children are, they remain safe, happy and secure. The Internet, in this respect, is no different than any other playground in the park or at school. It looks harmless, even magical at first glance, but could result in some spills and tears if kids are left unsupervised around it.

The BYOD security commandments

The BYOD security commandments | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The BYOD trend will make cyber security more complex

Of the tips put forward by IDC, the first one is perhaps the most obvious and perhaps the reasons why the BYOD trend has caused so many headaches.

 

“The consensus is that BYOD is now a given. Whether you want it or not, employees will do your work on their own devices,” says Infosec commentator Stilgherrian.

 

“So your choice is whether to have a policy that acknowledges that and lays out the ground rules, or try to ban it and end up with an infestation of unknown and uncontrolled devices.”

 

However, as many enterprises are currently finding out, controlling and securing data on multiple devices is a lot easier said than done.

Social News Gathering, Curation and Syndication Platform: Spundge

Social News Gathering, Curation and Syndication Platform: Spundge | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Expressedly designed for journalists and newsrooms Spundge is a unique social news discovery, curation and syndication platform that facilitates the discovery, selection and distribution of news content across multiple channels.

 

Spundge works with topic-specific containers called "notebooks", which you can create and configure to work around any specific topic, event, company or issue you are interested in following.

 

Spundge taps into YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Flickr, Soundcloud and Facebook to gather relevant content around your specified topics, as well as into RSS feeds and OPML files that you specify. All these can then be easily filtered (by keyword, time, location, and language) and curated manually before being published inside any topic-specific "notebook".

 

Notebooks can be made public or private and their contents can be shared on all major social media networks as well as being syndicated outside of Splundge in a number of different ways.

 

The PRO version of Spundge adds a number of useful features to the free base version, including:

 

Custom editor - create, write, format and edit your own multimedia posts integrating text, images and video clips with extreme ease.

 

Personal customized dashboards - these allow you to collect and organize in one page streams from different notebooks, traffic and social sharing data and more.

 

Syndication - syndicate to major socia platforms such as Twitter and Facebook as well as to Wordpress and Mialchimp.

 

Collaboration - invite co-editors, curators, newsmasters to complement your work or to fuel a common newsroom activity allowing everyone to track, review, comment and edit individual notebooks.

 

Embedding - standard embed code to publish/integrate any notebook inside any website or blog page.

 

Analytics - Acces to detailed traffic data.

 

Smart attribution - Spundge automatically tracks original sources from where you are picking content, images or video clips and automatically credits them.

 

Custom sources - plug-in private RSS feeds or your own API to feed unique proprietary content into your notebooks.

 

Free version available.
