10 Incredibly Powerful Teaching Tools of the Future | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Utopian visions of learning are tempting, if for no other reason than they absolve us of accountability to create it right now, leading to nebulous romanticizing about how powerful learning could be if we just did more of X and Y.

Here are 10 leadership models that I believe any leader or aspiring leader should be familiar with (Kudos to Mind Tools for supplying many of the summaries in the links, and to Vou):

LulzSec Reborn Hacks 10,000 Twitter Accounts | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
LulzSec Reborn, a splinter group of the now-defunct LulzSec, exposed 10,000 Twitter users' data in a new hack.

 

LulzSec Reborn, a splinter group of the defunct LulzSec, is claiming responsibility for leaking data from 10,000 users of a ===> Twitter-based app called TweetGif. <===

 

The app, which let users share GIFs, required users to share information including their real names, passwords, bios, locations and secret tokens, all of which LulzSec Reborn has made public. The group, which last month leaked account information from 171,000 members of the military via millitarysingles.com, has not given a reason for its latest hack.

 

Reps from TweetGif could not be reached for comment at press time.

Facebook unveils new mobile security measures | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Facebook has introduced three security updates for protecting its mobile users: a code generator, the ability to report unwanted content on your phone, and improved mobile recovery flows.

The code generator should make it easier to confirm logins made on new devices, as users will be able to receive Login Approval codes through their Facebook Application and via SMS, so it will work regardless of whether the users have cellular or Internet access.

How can QR codes be used effectively in class?

 

As mobile learning and technology is more readily integrated within classroom settings, QR codes can be used as an interesting method to capture a student’s attention and make lesson material more interactive.

 

Quick response codes, also known as ‘QR’ codes, are simple, scannable images that are a form of barcode. By scanning a QR code image through a mobile device, information can be accessed including text, links, bookmarks and email addresses.

 

In the classroom, QR codes can be used in a variety of ways — from conducting treasure hunts to creating modern CVs. Below is a number of articles, tutorials and lesson plans designed to help educators.

10 Ways That Mobile Learning Will Revolutionize Education

10 Ways That Mobile Learning Will Revolutionize Education | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
Smartphones and tablet computers are radically transforming how we access our shared knowledge sources by keeping us constantly connected to near-infinite volumes of raw data and information.

 

Up until now, most people relegated “education” to a finite time in their lives: entering school at around five years old and attending school institutions all the way to university. Education had an expiration date, then working life began. This model, which has its roots in the industrial era, is quickly becoming less relevant or applicable to the way we live our lives in the connected age.

5 Tips to Prevent Digital Burnout and Maintain Good Mental Health

5 Tips to Prevent Digital Burnout and Maintain Good Mental Health | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

The Internet's reach is so pervasive, it feels as though it has always been around. The reality is that the web is still in its infancy, and we don't really understand the risks it poses to our mental health. In fact, various experts, such as Larry D. Rosen, a psychologist and author of "iDisorder," believe that personal gadgets are making us mentally ill and are exacerbating other problems such as narcissism, depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Other mental health professionals have already identified disorders ranging from "Facebook depression" to "phantom vibration syndrome."

 

Realistically, most of us don't have the luxury of disconnecting from the Internet, particularly communication professionals whose work depends more and more on it.

 

However, there are various things you can do to curtail the negative effects it may have and prevent digital burnout.
