  • For young people today, it is vital that formal education begin to offer a bridge from the often insular and entertainment-focused digital culture of the home to a wider, broader range of cultural and civic experiences that support their intellectual, cultural, social and emotional development.

      this article shares and discusses the importance of media literacy and the need to learn so that we may embrace our social parameters
  • simply buying computers for schools does not necessarily lead to digital and media literacy education. Schools have a long way to go on this front. Access to broadband is a substantial issue as diffusion is uneven across American cities and towns (Levin, 2010).
  • andatory Internet filtering in schools means that many important types of social media are not available to teachers or students. And though there are computers with Internet access in most classrooms, fewer than half of American teachers can display a website because they do not have a data projector available to them.
  • Many American parents mistakenly believe that simply providing children and young people with access to digital technology will automatically enhance learning.
  • the “soccer mom” has been replaced by the “technology mom” who purchases a Leapfrog electronic toy for her baby, lap-surfs with her toddler, buys a Wii, an xBox and a Playstation for the kids and their friends, puts the spare TV set in the child’s bedroom, sets her child down for hours at a time to use social media like Webkinz and Club Penguin, and buys a laptop for her pre-teen so she will not have to share her own computer with the child.
  • In many American homes, the computer is primarily an entertainment device, extending the legacy of the television, which is still viewed for more than 3 hours per day by children aged 8 to 18, who spend 10 to 12 hours every day with some form of media (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2010). The computer is used for downloading music, watching videos, playing games and interacting on social networks.

      thats a true fact ive been able to prove time and time again by myself!
  • Content risks – This includes exposure to potentially offensive or harmful content, including violent, sexual, sexist, racist, or hate material. Contact risks – This includes practices where people engage in harassment, cyber bullying and cyber stalking; talk with strangers; or violate privacy. Conduct risks – This includes lying or intentionally misinforming people, giving out personal information, illegal downloading, gambling, hacking and more.
  • For example, when it comes to sexuality, both empowerment and protection are essential for children, young people and their families. Young people can use the Internet and mobile phone texting services to ask difficult questions about sexuality, get accurate information about sexual heath and participate in online communities. The Internet also enables and extends forms of sexual expression and experimentation, often in new forms, including webcams and live chat. Pornography is a multibillion dollar industry in the United States. In a country with the highest teenage pregnancy rate of all Western industrialized countries in the world, a recent report from the Witherspoon Institute (2010) offers compelling evidence that the prevalence of pornography in the lives of many children and adolescents is far more significant than most adults realize, that pornography may be deforming the healthy sexual development of young people, and that it can be used to exploit children and adolescents. Teens have many reasons to keep secret their exposure to pornography, and many are unlikely to tell researchers about their activities. But about 15 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 do report that they have received sexually explicit images on their cell phones from people they knew personally (Pew Internet and American Life Project, 2009).
  • Expanding the Concept of Literacy. Make no mistake about it: digital and media literacy does not replace or supplant print literacy. At a time when the word “text” now means any form of symbolic expression in any format that conveys meaning, the concept of literacy is simply expanding. Literacy is beginning to be understood as the ability to share meaning through symbol systems in order to fully participate in society. Print is now one of an interrelated set of symbol systems for sharing meaning. Because it takes years of practice to master print literacy, effective instruction in reading and writing is becoming more important than ever before. To read well, people need to acquire decoding and comprehension skills plus a base of knowledge from which they can interpret new ideas. To write, it is important to understand how words come together to form ideas, claims and arguments and how to design messages to accomplish the goals of informing, entertaining or persuading.

  • Malware is a portmanteau, a term combining "malicious" and "software" to describe a type of program designed to steal information from or cause damage to a computer.
  • It includes things like spyware and adware programs, including pop-ups and even tracking cookies, which are used to monitor users' surfing habits without permission.
  • It also includes more sinister hazards, such as keyloggers, Trojan horses, worms, and viruses. In simpler terms, it is any software that is intended by the developer to cause harm or exploit people's computers or private records without consent.

  • The earliest well-known examples of malware, which appeared during the early to mid-1990s, were largely the result of experimentation and pranks by curious developers trying to expand their skills.

      This article is credible. While I am not interested in learning about nuclear education the fact that it is a distance education program featuring on line tools is relevant. This is a well written article from a professional journal. It is authored by professors and includes cited references.

    This article explains the use of web-based tools for online eduction of nuclear engineers, but the information is relevant to Full Sail students as well. In the article they evaluate several web based tools but the interesting thing is that in order for the students to use the tools effectively the teachers must be comfortable with the use of these tools.

How Collaboration Tools Can Improve Knowledge Work - Brad Power - Harvard Business Review - 0 views

  • We can’t rely on people to pass on the best way to do work by word of mouth. Instead, we need to document and share them, before they become lost.
    • Shelbie Myers
      Shelbie Myers on 09 Dec 13
       
      Collaborating via internet helps information pass more quickly than doing it verbally. It also insures information will not be lost.
  • Like Facebook, the Nationwide network enables people to share with groups or friends, with easy access through mobile devices. When workers ask questions of the community, they usually get faster answers than from the help desk or e-mail. Some leaders are now posting quick (less than two minutes) video announcements about new or changed processes, instead of sending e-mail.
  • Nationwide’s social collaboration tools help people get conversations started, make faster decisions, get work done more quickly, communicate better top to bottom, recognize peers and better engage workers.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • Nationwide has been successful because it has managed its adoption of collaboration tools as part of a broader cultural change program. Chris Plescia, leader of marketing, collaboration and corporate Internet solutions, told me that the first step for leaders is a little bit of a leap: “We’ve made it okay to try something new. A couple years ago, it took me about five minutes to post my first question. I was worried I might make a mistake, so I spell-checked it several times before I sent it out. When people responded I realized I needed to quickly interact with them and eventually became comfortable with potential spelling errors. Another challenge was knowing that these conversations are public. So we spent time up front to define policies for compliance and governance.”

  • So what is Malware? Short for malicious software, malware is as old as software itself, and  programmers have been authoring it for as long as they have been authoring legitimate software.
  • Malware exists in many forms, most of which you’ve probably already heard of. The most common types of malware are viruses, trojans, worms, spyware and zombies.
  • In the early days of software, programmers wrote malware mostly to prank one another, or to show off their technical skills.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Some of these programmers learned that they can make thousands of dollars a day if they successfully exploit malware to their advantage.
  • These people went on to become cyber-crooks, defrauding individuals and organizations for financial gain.
  • A cyber-war between countries is raging. Some countries such as China, Syria, and America are rumored to be state-sponsoring cyber-gangs whose only purpose is to research and develop new malware techniques capable of infiltrating government agencies and infrastructures.
  • The malware problem is huge and is growing fast. By the end of 2010 the counter for unique malware programs stood at 14 million, with a staggering 60,000 pieces of new malicious code detected every day.

      Note 1: Stealing someone's identity in the world of Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and other social networks - allied with a sea of easily obtained name, address and associated data from a wealth of free and low-cost online sources - is now so easy that cybercriminals are even offering DIY kits to novice criminals. If that wasn't enough, online underground I forums now act as a 'carder forums' where cybercriminals buy, sell and exchange identity and payment card sets for as little as $2.00 a time - rising to $6.00 if the identity on sale is that of an apparent high-flyer (e.g. a platinum card holder) located in the UK or premium income parts of the US such as New York City and Florida. Note 2: The carder forums - and the criminals who exchange data on them - have become highly sophisticated in the last few years, expanding their data-harvesting programs to encompass both legitimate and fraudulent e-commerce websites, as well as bribing members of low-paid staff in outsourced call centres, for whom $500 for a copy of their employer's database, or partial database, may be a highly enticing prospect. Note 3: Fraudulent websites are subtler. Since most savvy Internet shoppers now use price-comparison sites to seek out the best price on their travel tickets, CDs, DVDs and other essentials to their modern lifestyle, cybercriminals are known to create entirely bogus Web portals - suitably meta-tagged to allow Google and Yahoo to spider/screen scrape their data - designed to harvest customer card details and other credentials.
