<p><strong>What this means</strong>: All our staff will have access to Youtube for example and Students will still be filtered per CIPA requirements! <strong>This is a Win Win; educators get the content they need to share with students.</strong> Remember we can't control the content on Web 2 applications like YouTube. Along with Web2 inappropriate content issues, also comes <strong>Malware</strong> ( Malicious Software) threats! </p>
<p><strong>Malware</strong> is a serious issue for anyone on the internet and its getting worse. Last year a NY City School District was attacked by cyber criminals and initially lost $ 3.8 Million. They got lucky and saw it happening and were able to cut losses with very fast response! That never happens! </p>
<p>In another case, a Chicago School District lost $300,000 to a computer virus. Everyone must also realize that Anti Virus wont protect you much anymore, in a recent study by NSS labs stated that its only about 38% effective! Look into Dynamic White listing.... It allows what users actually need and blocks other attempts to take control of your system. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Educating users to not get scammed in the first place is now more critical than ever!</strong></p>

Hi everyone,<br />
While looking for ways to attract international attention on the importance to transform the role of educators into one that embraces learning through a real world performance, I was not able to find a ribbon that supported an educational cause.<br />
<br />
That is why I have come up with an idea: to invite any educator, designer, student, parent, sibling, mentor... in the world to create a ribbon that will represent and promote INNOVATION in education.<br />
I will appreciate ANY idea, help or…

We recently launched an online learning hub on the World Food Programme website, with classroom activities and other tools to help teachers integrate issues like global hunger and the millennium development goals into lessons.<br />
<br />
Do you have any classroom activities or lesson plans to add to this?<br />

I am looking for anything that might help in any way at this point. What are some things for me to look at? What are some things that I shouldn't forget? Anyone have experience in doing a project like this between 2 countries? I am open to all ideas and suggestions! Thanks in advance.
