Become An EdTech Specialist: Do You Have What It Takes?

On your home turf (school), most of you reading this probably fall into the category of edtech specialist. I’ve been pondering what exactly it means to be an edtech ‘specialist’, and the conclusion that I’ve come to is that it doesn’t always have as much to do with the amount or type of technology knowledge and skills you have, but is more about how you put what you do know to use, and how you choose to share it. Even though many teachers think that they know about ‘some’ technology, they probably wouldn’t consider themselves enough of a tech geek to become an edtech specialist.

The handy infographic below takes a look at the ‘anatomy’ of an edtech specialist. You’ll see that even in the knowledge section of the anatomy chart, specific technology skills aren’t listed, though they could fall into one of the more general categories.

HOW TO: Get Notified When Someone Hacks Your Facebook. Facebook just announced a tool that notifies you by e-mail or SMS text message when someone logs into your Facebook profile from an unknown computer.

The idea is to help you recognize when a hacker has broken into your account so you can respond quickly by either changing your password (if that's still possible) or contacting Facebook. Once you enable the notifications, you'll be required to identify each computer you use to log in when you first use it and choose whether or not it's a private or public machine. You'll be able to see a history of registrations from machines potentially used by hackers, and of course those hackers will be forced to type something into the identification field to get in, so you should be able to tell whether it was just a login that you forgot or not. Here's a quick guide to turning this feature on and using it. Step 1: Go to Account Settings and Enable Notifications. Program/File Migration From PC To PC - CNET PC utilities Forums.
