This document discusses the potential benefits of using social networking and Web 2.0 tools in schools. It provides survey results showing high rates of student engagement with these tools outside of school. The document argues that giving students control through these tools can increase engagement. It describes several specific tools like wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, and social networking sites and how they could be used collaboratively for projects, sharing resources, and modeling reflective thinking. Concerns about existing school rules banning these tools are also addressed.

Loosely Coupled Teaching with "Web 2.0" Tools (2008)Jared Stein
Scott Leslie and Jared Stein collaborate to present a number of "Web 2.0" tools that may be leveraged to help teachers engage students and meet critical educational goals, including those categorized as 21st century learning.
This presentation presents the results of a survey of 140 Higher Education students which was carried out during May 2009. The students were asked about their online browsing habits, with a view to establishing which popular services could be adapted for use within education.
Introduction to Social Media in EducationJason Rhode
Do you use Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube? Have you ever considered leveraging social media tools like these in your teaching? During this introductory online session led by Jason Rhode on 9/28/2012, we explored what social media are and the pedagogical potential for use of social media in educational settings. We set the stage for future sessions to further explore use of social media tools and the design of engaging and innovative learning activities.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;

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!

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

5. The best thing about Web 2.0
is that…
nobody knows
what the hell it really means.
Even the ones who coined the term are still
struggling to find a compact definition.
And this is the true beauty and power of Web 2.0
- it makes people think.
From: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/10/the_best_thing_.html
6. Why social networking?
SAMPLE SURVEYS:
38% of students regularly read blogs and 19%
published a blog (Kirby & Kallio, 2007, p. 17).
A National School Board Association survey found:
60% discuss education-related topics online.
41% contribute to postings.
30% download videos.
12% update online profiles daily, 24% post photos
daily
(as cited in Karlin, 2007, p. 9).
7. The Man is Putting Down Social
Networking
A National School Boards Association (NSBA) study
found that 80% of schools surveyed had rules
against chatting and instant messaging and 60%
even banned students from using email at school
(as cited in Richardson, 2007, p. 68).
Out of approx. 1,200 students surveyed:
7% had been approached for personal information or
bullied online.
Only 2% had strangers they met online attempt to meet
them.
The Legal Gray Area
Very large, very nebulous
First Amendment Rights
8. Additional Support and Cause for
Action
Giving students control pays off.
Correlation between engagement and the
perception of control
And the walls came tumblin’ down…
Students usage peaks at 5 p.m.
Another spike at midnight
(Contreras-Castillo, Perez-Fragoso, and Favela,
2007, p. 213).
