    Nice, clear piece by @tomwhitby. I love the primary emphasis on developing a personalized learning network [PLN] as a mindset, not a toolset. It's about learning... and it takes work.

    Sometimes it's much more effective providing students with sites like these than have them wallow through the default Google search to find similar images.

Privacy - Snapchat - 0 views

    Privacy is an illusion... from Snapchat's own privacy policy. "You should not use Snapchat to send messages if you want to be certain that the recipient cannot keep a copy."

SnapChat is less private than you think | ITworld - 1 views

  • SnapChat is publicity ... with privacy
  • SnapChat isn’t really ephemeral – and the likelihood that SnapChat photos will get captured and stored permanently is growing each day.
  • Snaps for a time, contrary to its stated policy of deleting them once they have been opened
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • The bigger threat to SnapChat and its users, though, may come from third party platforms and applications, which can easily undermine the privacy protections that are seemingly built into the platform. Early releases of Apple’s iOS operating system changed the way in which screen shots could be taken, making it impossible for the SnapChat application to detect when screenshots of SnapChat images were captured.
  • SnapHack Pro, for sale on the iOS App Store. It allows users to log in using their SnapChat credentials and send and receive Snaps. The difference: all images opened and viewed in SnapHack are permanent.
  • claims to online anonymity and privacy are falling left and right.
  • The only way to win, then, is “not to play
  •  
    Users, kids and adults alike, need to realize that even with tools like Snapchat, privacy is an illusion. Even Snapchat admits this in its own privacy policy.

Academic Teaching Doesn't Prepare Students for Life - 0 views

  • e need to build environments that allow our students to get messy and build things. Places where students learn how to learn, and know how they learn best. Where students engage in significant research, and learn how to identify credible resources amidst a plethora of information that, at times, may seem overwhelming.
  • They need to be able to communicate powerfully using the mediums of print, photography and video.

    A fantastic post by Shelly Wright (@wrightsroom). The old adage is, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  Well, it IS broke(n). Time to get fixing!
