The document discusses using blogs and Web 2.0 technologies in education. Blogs provide an easy way for students to practice reading and writing online. They encourage a sense of community and process-based writing. Teachers can use blogs to post resources for students and respond to student work. While blogs engage students and encourage collaboration, teachers must address potential pitfalls like unwanted comments and privacy issues when using Web 2.0 technologies.

Facebook. Pretty much every panel at SXSW will be talking about it to some degree, and you know how valuable and vital it can be to a musical career and a musician's connection to fans. But just having an account isn't enough, and today there are unspoken rules and powerful tools that you can harness with Facebook. How do you get noticed? How do they differ? What are the best ways to connect without annoying fans? This presentation explores social marketing best practices, tailored to Facebook, in particular addressing the changes to Timeline.
It is a common opinion that today’s digital libraries (DL) can no longer be simple “expositions’ of digital objects. Users should no more be passive readers, they need to interact with the library, add their annotations and tags, personalize their experience and collaborate with each other. Web 2.0 technologies, such as social bookmarking and online discussions, are already being applied in DLs to allow users to annotate digital objects. However, the lack of semantic structure of such annotations and a clear social model to share and aggregate community contributions makes it difficult to take full advantage of such collaboratively created knowledge.
The SemLib project aims at developing a modular and configurable annotation system that can be easily plugged into existing digital libraries in order to allow end-users as well as digital libraries content curators to produce meaningful and customizable aggregations of semantically structured annotations produced by communities. In this paper we introduce the SemLib project, discussing the principles and ideas behind the proposed annotation system, and present a prototypal implementation.
SDA2013 Pundit: Creating, Exploring and Consuming AnnotationsMarco Grassi
This paper presents Pundit, a novel semantic web annotation tool, and demonstrates its use in producing structured data out of users annotations. Pundit allows communities of scholars to produce machine-readable annotations that can be made public and thus consumable as web data via SPARQL and ad-hoc REST APIs.
Pundit is highly configurable and can deployed in custom instances to include well-defined and agreed annotation vocabularies. Such instances can be distributed as bookmaklets to community users so they can create uniformly structured data in a certain application scenario. Basing on the provided APIs, some demonstrative applications have been developed, exploring different use scenarios, ranging from philosophy to journalism and cultural heritage.
The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate how such uniformly structured annotations can be quickly re-used on the web to make information discoverable or to visualize it in interesting ways.
Connecting with other educators is important for our professional growth. Online connections help this to happen. This is a presentation I delivered in 2009.

State of ICS and IoT Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2024 previewPrayukth K V
The IoT and OT threat landscape report has been prepared by the Threat Research Team at Sectrio using data from Sectrio, cyber threat intelligence farming facilities spread across over 85 cities around the world. In addition, Sectrio also runs AI-based advanced threat and payload engagement facilities that serve as sinks to attract and engage sophisticated threat actors, and newer malware including new variants and latent threats that are at an earlier stage of development.
The latest edition of the OT/ICS and IoT security Threat Landscape Report 2024 also covers:
State of global ICS asset and network exposure
Sectoral targets and attacks as well as the cost of ransom
Global APT activity, AI usage, actor and tactic profiles, and implications
Rise in volumes of AI-powered cyberattacks
Major cyber events in 2024
Malware and malicious payload trends
Cyberattack types and targets
Vulnerability exploit attempts on CVEs
Attacks on counties – USA
Expansion of bot farms – how, where, and why
In-depth analysis of the cyber threat landscape across North America, South America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East
Why are attacks on smart factories rising?
Cyber risk predictions
Axis of attacks – Europe
Systemic attacks in the Middle East

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
