Glossi Securing Your Mac: A Guide for Reasonable People, Version 1.0 "How do I protect my Mac online? Should I run any 'security' applications on my Mac?" That question arrived several weeks ago via the contact form here at TUAW, and I have been trying to come up with a reasonable answer to it ever since. That question, or a variation of it, comes fairly regularly. Usually the person asking it has switched from Windows to Mac, and has brought with them an expectation that they should run some sort of anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware programs. It's easy to be glib and say that the only really safe computer is one that is turned off and locked away. Conventional wisdom would have you believe that Mac users don't care about security, or think they are immune to security problems. On the other side, you have tech pundits who have been predicting the "downfall" of Mac security since 2004, and every time there is even the slightest bit of security news, there are plenty who want to jump and point and say "See!

iPad in de klas Dominicus College | platform van het iPadproject op het Dominicus College in Nijmegen Myths about iOS, iPad, iPhone & iPod touch I have the pleasure of working with educators who get to use iPads and iPod touches with students. Wherever I facilitate workshops, I find there are some myths floating around about Apple's iOS devices, and I'd like to clear up some of the misinformation. iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch do not have user manuals.

Ten Reflections on the First Year of an iPad Pilot | Ed Tech Diva Passing out iPads to students on the first day of school was like celebrating Christmas (or in this case Hanukkah) with thirty antsy kids sitting around the tree, attempting to hide their impatience. Once the iPads had been handed out, students were instantly excited, engaged and enchanted with the new learning device in their hands.

Prezi of PowerPoint: van welke presentatie leert een publiek het meest? » Mensenkennis.be Posted on 6, June 2013 in Category Algemene psychologie “We kennen de vijand, en hij heet PowerPoint!” Dat beweerde een Amerikaanse generaal tijdens de oorlog in Afghanistan, toen hij daar een nietszeggende presentatie moest aanhoren. Blijkbaar moet het Amerikaanse leger niet de Taliban maar deze presentatietechnologie doden om de strijd te kunnen winnen.
