Digital citizenship refers to the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior related to technology use. It involves 9 key elements: digital access, communication, literacy, etiquette, law, rights & responsibilities, health & wellness, security. Teaching digital citizenship in schools follows 4 steps - awareness, understanding, action, and deliberation. It is important because the internet is a permanent place and students need guidance on safe, responsible online behaviors as more activities occur virtually.
The Digital Revolution began in the 1980s and refers to the shift from analog to digital technologies. It started with the development of the transistor and computer in the 1940s-1970s and the introduction of the internet in the 1980s. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, digital technologies like the World Wide Web, mobile phones, and other devices became widespread. While digital technologies have increased efficiency and connectivity, they have also led to greater dependency on machines that can leave people disadvantaged when technologies break down.
Childrens and Mobile Technology -Regulator´s Commitment to Children´s SafetyAntonino Galo
This is a short Description related to children safety when using mobile technology devices and ICT, and the commitments that regulators & society most have to address this issue.
Also the industry have to take in account that mobile technology, has to provide the necessary tools to avoid children´s abuse over ICT platforms.
Regulators must be the enforcement body & play active roles together with society and industry to assure a good implementation of Actions Plans and activities to avoid/reduce the risks when children use mobile technology devices.
The society & communities have to participate decisively in any kind of action/activities to teach/provide/transmit the knowledge to children in order to be aware of the threats they face when using mobile technology.
1. Educational technology should serve to help teachers communicate better with students, not be an end in itself. Old and new technologies each have benefits and drawbacks.
2. There are four perspectives on educational technology: technology as media/AV, instructional systems, vocational training, and computer systems.
3. Key eras in educational technology are the pre-microcomputer, microcomputer, and internet eras.
Information technology involves the use of computers and software to store, process, transmit, and retrieve information. I.T. has made information widely available through the internet and broadband, allowing automatic operations and saving time. Public opinion recognizes that computer skills are important for school and help students learn at their own pace. I.T. has transformed how people work and created, with applications across industries, education, and in developing countries.
By the year 2024, nearly 80% of learning is expected to occur through distance education as technology innovations have changed the landscape of education. Advances like smart boards, laptops, cell phones, and cloud computing have enabled millions of learners to balance work, education, and family through online courses. New technologies allow for collaborative projects and presentations between students as well as centralized group work. However, adopting new technologies follows an S-curve where different categories of users from innovators to laggards accept the changes at different rates according to their willingness to take risks and try new ideas.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

- Share actionable ways you can participate in Knowledge - - Capture & Transfer
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
