Tinder für Teenager? Was Eltern und Erzieher über „Yellow“ wissen sollten | #DigitalCitiZENship #SocialMedia

Tinder für Teenager? Was Eltern und Erzieher über „Yellow“ wissen sollten | #DigitalCitiZENship #SocialMedia | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Die App „Yellow“ funktioniert ähnlich wie die beliebte Dating-App „Tinder“ - mit dem kleinen Unterschied, dass sie auch eine Community für Jugendliche anbietet. BEE SECURE erklärt, was Eltern und Erzieher beachten sollten. 

Das Prinzip ist wahrscheinlich jedem bekannt: Mit einem „Swipe“ nach links oder rechts entscheidet man sich für oder gegen das Profil einer Person. Bei gegenseitigem Gefallen bekommt man die Möglichkeit, mit der anderen Person zu kommunizieren. So funktioniert die Dating-App „Tinder“ und hunderte Apps, die das Prinzip nachahmen. Auch „Yellow“ nutzt dieses Prinzip, um unter anderem Jugendliche miteinander zu vernetzen.

 

Ziel der App ist es offiziell, neue Freunde zu finden – natürlich lädt das Prinzip auch dazu ein, zu flirten. Neben dem „swipen“ und chatten ist es möglich, Live-Videos über Yellow zu streamen. Diese können alle Nutzer (und nicht nur die Freunde) sehen.

The Top 20 countries for software piracy

The Top 20 countries for software piracy | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The pervasiveness of online privacy is an acknowledged reality of today’s Internet.

Software licensing, security and usage tracking provider V.i. Labs has analyzed customer data to identify where in the world most software piracy and license misuse originates from. While illegally downloaded movies and music may be the focus of government and financial efforts against piracy, unlicensed software piracy and license misuse run rampant as well, and its prevalence shifts from country to country.

According to the V.i Labs report, which analyzed customer data from its CodeArmor Intelligence software usage-tracking platform, the countries with the highest number of machines running unlicensed software this year were China, Russia and the United States, respectively.
Davey B's curator insight, December 3, 2014 5:36 PM

this source seems credible. It is a big news company.

Justin Avant's curator insight, December 8, 2014 1:19 PM

We among china and Russia are the top places who pirate not only music but other software and movies. This is a world problem and it seems like everyone does it.

Smartphone zombie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | #Smombies #ICTSociety #Society #ICT #EDU #parenting 

Smartphone zombie

A smartphone zombie (German: smombie) is a pedestrian who walks slowly and without attention to their surroundings because they are focused on their smartphone. This is now a significant safety hazard since distracted pedestrians cause accidents. Cities such as Chongqing and Antwerp have introduced special lanes for smartphone users to help direct and manage them.

Children's apps and websites raise privacy concerns

Children's apps and websites raise privacy concerns | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Given the publicity attracted by recent high-profile data breaches and the consequences for those whose personal information was subsequently leaked, it may, perhaps, concern parents to learn that around half of the sites examined by GPEN were happily and willingly sharing their children's data with third parties.

Also, considering the occasionally dark nature of the world we live in, anyone with responsibility for a child's welfare may well not like the revelation that just under 1 in 4 sites and apps gave kids the opportunity to upload their photo or add video clips. 22% of the services looked at also allowed youngsters to hand over their phone numbers.

Sadly, despite the potential problems posed by allowing children to share too much data, only 24% of the tested apps and websites encouraged any sort of parental oversight.

What's more, should a concerned adult discover that their offspring is revealing too much personal information, the options for remedying the situation are few and far between - with 71% of the investigated services making it difficult or impossible to delete accounts.

Adam Stevens, head of the ICO's intelligence hub said:

These are concerning results. The attitude shown by a number of these websites and apps suggested little regard for how anyone's personal information should be handled, let alone that of children.

Hands-on: Child-friendly YouTube Kids app launches on Android and iOS

Hands-on: Child-friendly YouTube Kids app launches on Android and iOS | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
YouTube is a fantastic way to keep your kids entertained with a tablet or smartphone, but it’s also a little concerning. You just never know if your child will end up using the suggested videos feature to jump from Sesame Street’s Elmo to a drunk Elmo parody, or view inappropriate advertising.

Google is aiming to solve that problem with a new app called YouTube Kids available on Monday for Android and iOS. The Kurio and nabi kids’ tablets will also receive the app in the coming weeks.

Early reports about the app surfaced late last week, but details were a little thin. Now that the app is available we can say that at first glance this app should appeal to parents and kids alike.

Gezielte, gut getarnte Phishing-Attacken sind große Gefahr für Unternehmen.


Der Security-Software-Hersteller ESET rät Unternehmen zu einer verstärkten Sensibilisierung für Phishing-Attacken und damit einhergehend zu einer besseren IT-Weiterbildung. Nur so können die eigenen Mitarbeiter vor gezielten und gut getarnten Angriffen geschützt werden. Denn Attacken dieser Art sind mittlerweile geschickt auf ihre Zielgruppen zugeschnitten und nur mit großer Sorgfalt und Verständnis erkennbar.


Anlass für den Ratschlag ist das Ergebnis eines Tests, den das Center of Excellence for Research, Innovation, Education and Industrial Labs Partnership (CEFRIEL) im Auftrag von 15 internationalen Unternehmen kürzlich durchführte. Die Einrichtung prüfte die Anfälligkeit von Mitarbeitern für speziell auf Unternehmen gemünzte Betrugsversuche, so genannte „Spear-Phishing“-Attacken. Das Ergebnis: Jeder Fünfte ging den Testern ins Netz.
