In Part 1 of this series I wrote about the importance of people alignment as a crucial competence for today’s leaders. Especially in a globalized world, where cross-cultural and multinational challenges are becoming more and more a normal part of the leader’s job, leaders need to understand how to create people alignment. In Part 1 I also described how ‘personal alignment’ plays an important role when creating people alignment.
This Part 2 is about another crucial element of people alignment: ‘team alignment’.

A key point to remember here is that most malware is designed such that it should remain hidden from users who aren’t proactively looking for it. Hence you could well have an infected computer right now without even realising it.
Wikipedia defines a learning management system (LMS) as:
“A software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content.”
What that means is that the right learning management system can help you better reach your training/education goals whether they are focused on continuing education, eLearning availability, synchronous or asynchronous learning, mobile learning, certification programs, or even eCommerce and more, learning management systems are designed to provide the features you need to make sure your unique learning goals are met and a positive ROI is achieved.
I do not buy into the argument of "no access for anyone until everyone can have it." Instead, I think we must do what Marc Prensky argues which is to find ways to "Bridge and eliminate this digital divide" and provide digital access to our students. As Prensky suggests, we are going to have to accept that there is always going to be some inequality, but there are things we should be doing as educators to mediate the impact of the digital divide, and trying to keep the playing field level by refusing anyone access until all have it is not the ethical thing to do.
As educators we must be concerned with our "students wanting or needing access to a minimal level of digital technology and not being able to get it."
10 unbreakable rules for teachers using education technology in the classroom...
Gust MEES: and as I say it since more than 12 years already
===> 4. Thou shalt take safety precautions <===
The internet is a gateway to a wonderful new world of opportunities, but it also opens the door to some risks and dangers too, in the form of cyber bullying and internet fraud. So ensure that you have all the latest firewalls and digital safety measures in place before using computers with your class and make sure students are closely supervised at all times. There are lots of great websites available for exactly this purpose, where you can share online with your students in a safe, educational environment.

TB By Peter Skillen Project Based Learning can mean different things to different people, and can be practiced in a variety of ways.
Project Based Learning can mean different things to different people, and can be practiced in a variety of ways. For educators who want to dive in, the good news is that a rich trove of resources are available.
In order to create your own definition and practice, here are some parameters to consider. This diagram, enhanced by the critical eye of Brenda Sherry, can help you figure out what’s important to you and your students.
All these things are interrelated. I think we completely miss the boat when we talk about Digital Citizenship. Mostly it’s about rules and things students shouldn’t do. The word citizenship is such a good clue – it’s about belonging to something bigger than yourself. Engagement is part of that.
Last spring, Dr. Corinne Weisgerber turned her undergrads into Guggenheim-like curators. After building personal learning networks that delivered subject-specific tweets and blog posts, her students chose the most salient content and arranged it online the way a museum curator might an art exhibit. Their goal was to design a learning experience that cut through the noise to bring the Internet’s best content to others.
The project arose from Weisgerber’s own experience curating content for students, which she and her St. Edward’s University colleague Dr. Shannan Butler shared at the second annual SXSWedu conference in March.
Today, they answer questions about why they think the museum curator is the perfect model for today’s educators (and students), and how you can become one too.

Drew Houston of Dropbox speaks during the Digital Life Design conference (DLD) at HVB Forum on January 23, 2012 in Munich, Germany. Dropbox is investigating whether its security was breached, leading to spam messages to users.
Cloud services are the ballyhooed future of software, information storage, device management and whatever else you can think of that requires the use of a computer or device. Which is why Dropbox’s current investigation into itself gives pause. The preeminent cloud-company is checking to see whether its security has been breached, leading to a rash of spam emails sent to users.
If such hack-attacks are not subdued when aimed at massive central information-storage servers, can the cloud be trusted?
Google has developed an interactive curriculum on YouTube to support teachers in educating students on how to be safe, engaged and confident model netizens.
