This document discusses the legal implications of social media use in schools. It begins by providing context on how social media has evolved and become integrated into students' lives. It then examines key court rulings related to student free speech online and offline. The document advocates that banning social media is not the solution and that students should be taught how to use it safely and effectively. It also cautions educators and employers to be aware of their digital footprint and potential legal issues around using social media. The document concludes by stressing the need for districts to provide professional development and implement sound social media policies to help navigate these challenges.
I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press. I believe that we cannot even begin to imagine the changes that are going to take place as the two-way nature of the Internet begins to flower, and that even those of us who have spent time imagining this future will be astounded by what happens. I’m going to identify ten trends in this regard that I think have particular importance for education and learning, and then discuss seven steps I think educators can take to make a difference during this time.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

“We live in an amazing age of global travel and
communications, which explorers like Lewis & Clark
probably never imagined could exist. The information
landscape today is similar to an amazing buffet of food:
Full of choices, fraught with challenges, and ripe with
opportunities. Like the ocean, the Internet can be a
dangerous place but also an extremely engaging and fun
destination. Just like responsible parents who teach their
children to swim in the ocean and make good decisions
when they are in and on it, as educators we need to help
our students learn to safely and effectively use the
Internet in constructively powerful ways.” (Fryer, 2006)
