What sort of security can you expect if you do your internet banking on an iPhone or iPad? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Security researcher Ariel Sanchez recently published a fascinating report on the sort of security you can expect if you do your internet banking on an iPhone or iPad.

The answer, sadly, seems to be, "Very little."

 

You should head over to IOActive's blog to read the whole report.

Ten keys to a successful school iPad program

Ten keys to a successful school iPad program | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
It seems that every school is considering purchasing iPads these days, and Apple has reported that iPad sales to schools are currently outpacing MacBook sales by a very large margin.

 

 

 

===> It’s important for educators to understand that technology alone—no matter how full of potential it may be—is not the answer. <===

 

Instead, iPads need to be integrated into the 21st-century classroom using ===> a holistic approach. <===

 

===> Teachers and administrators should identify the skills and abilities young people will need to succeed in our rapidly changing world and use technology to help students acquire them. <===

18 Great Science apps for iPad

18 Great Science apps for iPad | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Gone are the days when you would have to attend those boring classes and spend hours listening to  the teacher lecturing about abstract scientific concepts that are more perplexing than illuminating.

 

I said perplexing because they lack a very important  learning principle that make them unlearnable: they do not connect to the  ' embodied experiences ' of the learners and what James Paul Gee meant by this principle is that for learning to be effective it needs to connect to the learners life, experiences, and environment.

 

===> When learners are able to make such connections their comprehension improves and becomes more solid. <===
