Digital Parenting is essentially the parenting of connected kids. The Internet opens a new world of information, commerce, networking, education, and job opportunities that were not available to past generations. But with all of these benefits come risks. Cyberbullying, sexual exploitation, identity theft, and fraud are all very real threats to children living in the Internet age. It is a critical role, as a parent, to educate your children about the Internet and support legitimate, safe use of its offerings.

Sexting
Definición
Es un término en inglés que se usa para referirse al acto de enviar mensajes explícitos de contenido erótico o sexual desde un dispositivo móvil. También se le llama sexting al acto de enviar fotografías (usualmente selfies) explícitamente sexuales. La palabra es el resultado de una combinación de las palabras en inglés sex y texting.
Los riesgos de hacer sexting
Existen varios riesgos que usualmente no se consideran al hacer sexting, especialmente estos riesgos son ignorados por la gente más joven:
¿Qué pasa si una fotografía explícita sale del dispositivo en que fue tomada? Es una creencia común el que se piense que la fotografía estará segura en el dispositivo móvil en el que fue tomada, siendo que hay varias cosas que podrían salir mal, desde perder el dispositivo hasta que alguien la pueda ver.
¿Qué pasa cuando se envía una fotografía explícita? La persona que la recibió pudiera publicarla una vez que la relación termine, dependiendo de los términos de la separación. Una fotografía de este tipo pudiera cambiar dramáticamente la vida de una persona, independientemente de la edad.
Cómo prevenir sexting en los adolescentes
Éstas son algunas recomendaciones que hacen fuentes especializadas de protección a menores en Internet:
Hacer hincapié en la privacidad. Sexting es un fenómeno que se acentúa con la pérdida de claridad de las fronteras de privacidad, especialmente con lo intrusivas que pueden llegar a ser las redes sociales. Se recomienda que los padres de familia tengan conversaciones con sus hijos sobre la importancia de la privacidad, que va desde los datos personales hasta fotografías íntimas.
No dejar que el menor pague su propia cuenta del móvil. Se ha descubierto que si un menor paga su cuenta del dispositivo móvil, se siente merecedor de autonomía y le da una falsa sensación de adultez.
Evitar que los menores tengan computadoras portátiles o en su habitación. El poner una computadora en un área pública previene comportamientos derivados del exceso hormonal e influencia de páginas de contenido explícito.
Caso de Sexting
Angie Varona es una joven estadounidense que hace unos años fue víctima de sexting, y hoy, cuatro años después, aún sufre las consecuencias.
Todo empezó en el 2007, cuando tenía 14 años y subió algunas fotos de sí misma, en bikini y ropa interior, a su cuenta privada de PhotoBucket. La idea era que su novio pudiera verlas fácilmente. Lastimosamente, la situación se le salió de las manos cuando alguien hackeó su cuenta, y en vez de mantener privadas sus fotos, las hizo públicas. Las imágenes terminaron siendo vistas por miles de personas y publicadas en sitios de distinto tipo, incluyendo portales de pornografía y pedofilia.
Por esta situación, Angie sufrió de depresión, intentó usar drogas para disminuir su dolor
For the 2010-11 school year, we surveyed students again, but this time asked about what issues concern them. We learned that many had never heard of a "digital footprint" so that became the backbone of our talks this year.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
