I try to create enough "sandbox time" with new apps during staff meeting and that helps.In the end however the greatest learning and increase in comfort has come from doing. So sometimes I teach the students with the teacher there learning too and as the students use the application the teachers become more comfortable.<BR/><BR/>I also wanted to mention 2 things<BR/><BR/>1. Since you were involved in Clay's discussion about the purpose of blogging I thought you might like to read Jeff's articles in Tech Learning about blogs as conversation.<BR/>http://www.techlearning.com/blog<BR/>2007/03/a_problem_with_blogs_contd.php<BR/><BR/>2. I wanted to ask you to add your thoughts to my recent post about textbooks. I respect your thinking and I am interested in your perspective.Barbara Barreda K-8 Administrator, Tech integration advocate, Going 1:1 with netbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535523713482852906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849319076574250282.post-89121131768886030072007-03-22T20:35:00.000-05:002007-03-22T20:35:00.000-05:00An addendum to this post:Wes Fryer blogged about n...An addendum to this post:<BR/><BR/>Wes Fryer blogged about network security and threats to information safety at his blog (http://www.speedofcreativity.org/2007/03/22/evolving-online-security-threats-deserve-more-attention/)<BR/>today. Saying that desktop utilities like MS Office are used as vehicles to load malware or spying programs, he points to the use of online applications as a safer alternative:<BR/>"It seems to me that the clever and creative threats posed by these “targeted attacks” make the utility of using online collaboration tools like Coventi Pages, Google Documents and wiki environments like PBWiki and Wikispaces even greater. If targeted attacks (as Mikko describes them) typically use MS Office attachments to launch their attacks, using online collaborative tools instead of locally-saved files that can “deliver” malware payloads to computers on a local network seems like a safer approach. In addition to being safer, these online collaborative tools offer powerful functionality not available with traditional productivity files. Web 2.0 resources may therefore not only be more powerful to use, but also potentially safer from a network security standpoint."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156784418545421424noreply@blogger.com
