21st Century Learning and Teaching

THE AVERAGE AUTOMOBILE today isn’t necessarily secured against hackers, so much as obscured from them: Digitally controlling a car’s electronics remains an arcane, specialized skill among security researchers. But that’s changing fast. And soon, it could take as little as $60 and a laptop to begin messing around with a car’s digital innards.

Tomorrow at the Black Hat Asia security conference in Singapore, 24-year-old Eric Evenchick plans to present a new device he calls the CANtact. The open source board, which he hopes to sell for between $60 and $100, connects on one end to a computer’s USB port, and on the other to a car or truck’s OBD2 port, a network port under its dashboard. That makes the CANtact a cheap interface between any PC and a vehicle’s controller area network or CAN bus, the collection of connected computers inside of every modern automobile that control everything from its windows to its brakes.

Promise to Tell the Whole Truth

A promise is a promise. Some folks apply a rating scale, believing that breaking a big promise is inexcusable, while a small one is acceptable. That’s simply false. While breaking a big promise, such as failing to repay borrowed money, can torpedo a relationship, reneging on promises, such as being on time, casts doubt on future behavior.

Remember, trust is built through a series of experiences shared with others. When behavior is consistent, faith in the relationship develops. When promises are broken or people are misled, the bonds of trust are breached.

Broken promises imply that the offenders either didn’t think before making the promises, or don’t care that they’ve let you down. They’re also implying that their needs are more important than yours. So, be careful about the promises that you make and with whom you make them.

"All About Tolerance" Our B.A.R.K. with Character word of the month for October (at Myers Elementary) is "TOLERANCE." Mr. Stanley tells the boys and girls so...

The 41-year-old was arrested at his home in Stoke-on-Trent, central England, on suspicion of encouraging a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, Scotland Yard said.

===> He is suspected of encouraging other web users to bombard the websites with requests, causing them to crash. <===

A bad example about what sharing means :( Sharing means to share ethic sharing, NOT sharing about what to do bad! There are rules and laws which everybody has to respect for the well-being of a society! This should get taught to the students and learners, includes the knowledge of being a good Cyber-Citizen. Hashtags for Twitter are #eCitizen, #digcit, #digitalcitizen

Check out also my Curation about people who got hard prison for such actions and talk with your students about that, please:
