Google+ isn't a social network; it's The Matrix | Technology | guardian.co.uk - 1 views
-
"If Google+ were a social network, you'd have to say that for one with more than 500 million members - that's about half the size of Facebook, which is colossal - it's having next to no wider impact. You don't hear about outrage over hate speech on Google+, or violent videos not getting banned, or men posing as 14-year-old girls in order to befriend real 14-year-old girls. Do people send Google+ links all over the place, in the way that people do from LinkedIn, or Twitter, or Facebook? Not really, no. There's a simple reason for this. Google+ isn't a social network. It's The Matrix."

"Schoolchildren are at risk of having their online activity tracked and monitored for targeted advertising by internet firms through free cloud based education services. A survey has found that many parents do not know about data mining - the process of tracking email and web browsing habits in order to target advertising - but once they do they have grave concerns for their kids' online privacy, and believe schools need to do more to protect it. The survey commissioned by American IT industry group SafeGov asked 1000 Australian parents about their knowledge of data mining."

"How will mobile phone technology such as Google Glass - the wearable gadget that searches for whatever we look at - and social networks like Facebook and Twitter influence our searches?

Your Call on Vimeo - 0 views
-
There are alarming links between Democratic Republic of Congo's coltan wealth, widespread rape, violence and consumer demand for smaller faster technology. Despite the horror of this war, its victims are largely forgotten and its perpetrators avoid justice. And too often, the Church has remained silent when it should speak out. The Your Call campaign wants to put a stop the silence around this issue and the injustice suffered by many women in the Congo. - See more at: http://micahchallenge.org.uk/engage/w2w/learn-more/w2w-learn-more-get-inspired/647-your-call#sthash.fn3IR0UP.dpuf
Bring Your Own Technology: The BYOT guide for schools and families - ACER Shop Online - 2 views
-
"This book is designed to provide teachers and parents alike an insight into the bring-your-own-technology (BYOT) revolution sweeping across entire school communities in Australia, the US and UK, and explain the immense implications of these developments. In time all schools in the developed world will move to students using their personal mobile technology in class, rather than it being provided by the school. It is not a case of if, but when. BYOT is like a tsunami coming across the horizon. The forces impelling the change and the potential educational, social development, economic, technological and political opportunities opened by the development will not only bring about its introduction but will soon fundamentally change the nature of schooling, teaching, the technology used, home-school relations and the resourcing of schools."

Boys' Reading Commission Report 2012 (UK) - 1 views
-
The Boys' Reading Commission has found that boys' underachievement in reading is associated with the interplay of three factors: - The home and family environment, where girls are more likely to be bought books and taken to the library, and where mothers are more likely to support and role model reading; - The school environment, where teachers may have a limited knowledge of contemporary and attractive texts for boys and where boys may not be given the opportunity to develop their identity as a reader through experiencing reading for enjoyment; - Male gender identities which do not value learning and reading as a mark of success.
New Scientist TV: Kinect body hack lets you possess a horse - 1 views
-
"Wave a Microsoft Kinect sensor around the object you want to inhabit and the new system, developed by Jiawen Chen and his team from Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK, quickly creates a 3D virtual model of it. Then, by standing in front of the sensor and positioning your body so that it melds with the virtual character on screen, the two are rigged together by uttering the word "Possess". The system performs the transformation by binding the model to you at the points where your joints are attached. Moving your body makes the avatar come to life, allowing you to re-enact Fantasia-like cartoons or to create your own interactive stories. It's also possible to team up with friends to possess more complex bodies, like a four-legged horse."

10 Best Internet Browsers for iPad | Mozbot - UK Technology Blog - 2 views
-
"Internet browsing is the strongest forte of iPad because of features like portability, connectivity, functionality and easy access it provides on the go. While iPad's default Browser Safari does more than justice to internet browsing experience on iPad, it does not fully take advantage of the in-built iPad capability and power. This is where all the other iPad Internet Browser alternatives make their entry into the scene, particularly by exploiting the full potential of iPad's offerings and sometimes even providing high end touch gesture integration for internet browsing alacrity."
