Strengthening Student Resilience to Online Risks | PBS - 0 views

  • put the relative threat of online predators in perspective, while at the same time noting that schools and parents must to more to give students the media literacy skills required to use the Internet responsibly.
  • On the other side of this digital divide, there are countless young people who feel like they are masters of digital technology, despite the fact they often use these tools naively or recklessly because of a lack media literacy and critical thinking skills.

Internetworking Technology Handbook - Internetworking Basics [Internetworking] - Cisco... - 0 views

  • The upper layers of the OSI model deal with application issues and generally are implemented only in software. The highest layer, the application layer, is closest to the end user. Both users and application layer processes interact with software applications that contain a communications component. The term upper layer is sometimes used to refer to any layer above another layer in the OSI model. The lower layers of the OSI model handle data transport issues. The physical layer and the data link layer are implemented in hardware and software. The lowest layer, the physical layer, is closest to the physical network medium (the network cabling, for example) and is responsible for actually placing information on the medium.
  • Internetwork addresses identify devices separately or as members of a group. Addressing schemes vary depending on the protocol family and the OSI layer. Three types of internetwork addresses are commonly used: data link layer addresses, Media Access Control (MAC) addresses, and network layer addresses.
  • A data link layer address uniquely identifies each physical network connection of a network device. Data-link addresses sometimes are referred to as physical or hardware addresses.

  • End systems generally have only one physical network connection and thus have only one data-link address. Routers and other internetworking devices typically have multiple physical network connections and therefore have multiple data-link addresses.
  • As with most data-link addresses, MAC addresses are unique for each LAN interface.
  • MAC addresses are 48 bits in length and are expressed as 12 hexadecimal digits.

    An internetwork is a collection of individual networks, connected by intermediate networking devices, that functions as a single large network. Internetworking refers to the industry, products, and procedures that meet the challenge of creating and administering internetworks.

Chapter 5. Student Practices and Their Impact on Learning Spaces | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • This alignment is important because well-designed learning spaces and enabling technologies encourage students to spend more time on campus, increasing engagement and improving retention.
  • They appear to prefer learning-by-doing rather than learning-by-listening and often choose to study in groups. Much to the consternation of adults acculturated to lectures, they become impatient in situations where they don't feel engaged.
  • While many student attributes may be important to educators, five characteristics seem particularly applicable for learning spaces: Digital Mobile Independent Social Participatory

  • Students' comfort with the Internet means it isn't "technology" to them—it may be a way of life.
  • Comfort with technology does not guarantee proficiency.
  • They choose when to pay attention—and what to attend to.
  • Students are quite comfortable with group work and interactions. One of the traits of the Net Generation is the ease with which they can form and re-form working groups.
  • The DIY attitude extends to their creation and consumption of content on the Internet. Reputation, as well as recommendations and referrals, are of paramount importance. Curiosity, debate, and consensus are all valued traits in the blogging world. Many of today's students possess these traits.
  • Used effectively and thoughtfully, technology in the hands of the instructors can bring new dimensions to the class.
  • Other spaces are outfitted with movable tables, chairs, and whiteboards so that seating can be reconfigured to suit the activity.
  • Spaces that catalyze social interaction, serendipitous meetings, and impromptu conversations contribute to personal and professional growth.
  • The emergence of learning commons provides another example of how out-of-class time is being enriched with learning opportunities
  • Creating spaces for spontaneous meetings is particularly important. "Think stops" are places for individuals to stop, relax, and meet others. Often marked by a chalkboard or whiteboard, these locations encourage impromptu meetings and conversations.

      This is how the Google offices are set up. Neat place!
  • When considering the technologies to support, remember that students no longer just consume information, they construct it—in multiple media formats.
  • Learning is a social process. Often the most memorable college experiences involve connections with others, whether students or faculty.
  • Connections can be virtual as well, where students work with others who are not physically colocated (through videoconferencing, for example) or who are separated by time (through asynchronous communication).
  • This flexibility also allows customization, enhancing not only space utilization but also convenience.
  • Neither learning nor socializing is one-dimensional; the physical complements the virtual, and vice versa. Since learning can occur any place and at any time, there are few—if any—locations where wireless is not valuable.
  • Student mobility means that students, not just the institution, define the learning space.
  • Although students have little fear of technology, they are not necessarily proficient with technology, information retrieval, or cognitive skills—what many call information fluency
  • Some IT units locate technical support staff in classroom buildings. Learning commons create one-stop centers, incorporating services from the library, IT, and the writing center. Although they may look different or have a new name, help desks are probably here to stay.
