Tony Vincent's Learning in Hand - Project Based Learning - 0 views

"Handheld computers are everywhere. From mobile phones to handheld games, it's a very familiar sight to see people of all ages gazing into screens that they can hold. Schools are discovering that handhelds like iPod touch and iPad make great learning tools. In fact, handhelds can play a big part in project based learning. Not only do projects motivate students because they use exciting handheld technology, but they also lend themselves to student voice and choice. Watch or read below to be inspired to bring project based learning into your classroom, learn strategies for creating effective driving questions, and see how an iOS handheld can play a role in the the planning, research/investigation, and presentation of projects."
YouTube - Khan Academy and the Effectiveness of Science Videos - 0 views
-
"It is a common view that "if only someone could break this down and explain it clearly enough, more students would understand." Khan Academy is a great example of this approach with its clear, concise videos on science. However it is debatable whether they really work. Research has shown that these types of videos may be positively received by students. They feel like they are learning and become more confident in their answers, but tests reveal they haven't learned anything. The apparent reason for the discrepancy is misconceptions. Students have existing ideas about scientific phenomena before viewing a video. If the video presents scientific concepts in a clear, well illustrated way, students believe they are learning but they do not engage with the media on a deep enough level to realize that what was is presented differs from their prior knowledge. There is hope, however. Presenting students' common misconceptions in a video alongside the scientific concepts has been shown to increase learning by increasing the amount of mental effort students expend while watching it."

Free ride: students crack ticket algorithm - 0 views
-
other university students started looking at a public transport's ticketing system because they were fans of public transport and interested in how the data was encrypted. They were also interested in what protections were in place against malicious users creating fake tickets
-
they were already aware of the potential flaws, but it was a large and expensive operation to change the tickets
-
cryptography should be impossible to crack, even if a potential attacker or reverse engineer knows every detail about how it is implemented. This system on the other hand is relying completely on users not knowing how it is implemented, which may have been fine when it was introduced in the early '90s because much fewer people had access to the technology required to read the tickets, or computers fast enough to analyse the data
-
"A team of university students in Sydney have cracked the secret algorithm used on Sydney's public transport tickets for buses, trains and ferries, which they say could allow them to print their own tickets. "

Computational thinking is a fundamental skill for everyone, not just for computer scientists
-
"READING, writing and - refactoring code? Many professors of computer science say college graduates in every major should understand software fundamentals. They don't argue that everyone needs to be a skilled programmer. Rather, they seek to teach "computational thinking" - the general concepts programming languages employ."

Yesterday's storage problem has become today's strategic asset. Turns out there's gold in them thar files."

Offshore cloud privacy may be "impossible," says commissioner | Delimiter - 1 views
-
cloud computing was being used “increasingly” by Victorian agencies, in order to reduce capital and operational costs.
-
Given that many cloud computing service providers are in jurisdictions which do not have similar privacy or data protection laws, if a security breach occurs, an individual in Victoria will be powerless to take action against the cloud service provider and will only be able to complain to the Victorian government organisation
-
large organisations need to look in a more granular fashion at what sort of data they are interested in storing in the cloud — arguing that some data could be harmlessly stored offshore — compared with sensitive data
-
"Victoria's privacy commissioner has issued a stark warning to government agencies about the use of cloud computing, warning that it may be "impossible" to protect personal information held about Australians when it was located offshore - or even just outside Victoria."
