How a student learns and how they think is more important than the content knowledge. With information expanding, it is impossible to know everything, but if a student has developed thinking and process skills, all the information that was and will be is possible. Our curriculum needs revision to focus on thinking skills development, as well as reflection time so students can learn how they learn, not just what they have learned.

Successfully hiding messages in images has already been done, but is it possible to deliver an exploit in one - and run it? He is not the first one to try and hide exploits in images. But he created Stegosploit, a technology that lets attackers deliver executable JavaScript code via images, and trigger them, too.

But he created Stegosploit, a technology that lets attackers deliver executable JavaScript code via images, and trigger them, too. In order to make the attack payload look harmless and not trigger defenses, Shah split it into two: dangerous pixel data (exploit code), and a safe decoder.

"Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of timid imagination, which the steadfast heart will conquer, and the large mind transcend."
Gust MEES's insight:
Decades before the dawn of the positive psychology movement and a century before what neuroscience has taught us about the benefits of optimism, Helen Keller — the remarkable woman who grew up without sight and hearing until, with the help of her teacher Annie Sullivan, she learned to speak, read, write, and inhabit the life of the mind with such grace and fierceness that made her one of history’s most inspired intellectual heroes — penned a timeless treatise on optimism as a philosophy of life. Simply titled Optimism(public library; public domain), it was originally published in 1903 and written — a moment of pause here — after Keller learned to write on a grooved board over a sheet of paper, using the grooves and the end of her index pencil to guide her writing. A MUST READ!

Flipped learning is more than just having students do homework during the school day. It’s more than just putting the onus on students to teach themselves. In fact, it’s neither of those things. Don’t be fooled by simple explanations of flipped classrooms that simplify a highly complex undertaking. Via Nik Peachey

Here are some great tips for using social media for everyone. 
Tony Palmeri's curator insight,
October 25, 2015 10:48 AM
I chose this resource because they way teachers use social media has been a sore spot for many in our building. I support the idea of using social media in a professional construct and I feel that it is a powerful tool. However, even in teacher circles I've witnessed far too much negativity and I'm not sure that those individuals understand that the toxic nature of some posts are doing much damage to our school culture (and the community perceptions). I'm shocked to find that some teachers continue to use some social media to converse with students in non-academic affairs. It is truly not a good idea. I think this resource would be great to distribute during PD that occurs at the beginning of a school year.

Today, it is imperative that we make changes to our traditional school paradigms to meet the learning needs of our students for today and their futures. We need to reimagine how we structure our schools to promote ongoing daily collaboration opportunities for teachers for the purposes of planning, with the explicit goal of improving student learning. I think we can take steps toward this by restructuring and reimagining the spaces and roles of our Teacher-Librarians and Planning Time Teachers.
