  • Free Applications
    1 Free Applications Hundreds of Apps with Potential to Enhance Professional Development, Technical Assistance, and Dissemination Activities and Results By Larry Edelman [email protected] Note: This document (v. 9 – 2/28/11) is updated frequently. Updates and related discussions are posted at: http://exploringtech.wordpress.com/ Why should we use technology for PD, TA, and Dissemination? • In particular, technology can help us to efficiently, effectively, and creatively: 1. Create content; 2. Share knowledge; and 3. Build and support relationships. We should consider ALL applications that are available to us. This includes applications that are expensive, moderately priced, inexpensive (shareware), and free (freeware). This includes software that we download to our computers and software that runs on the web. Some expensive applications enable us to us to communicate in very unique and effective ways, while the functions of other expensive applications can be easily replicated, or even improved upon, by the use of freeware. Likewise, some free applications are all we need to get the job done, while other free applications have significant limitations or involve the use of paid advertisements that detract from our purposes. I use some relatively expensive applications for tasks such as video editing and authoring online learning modules. But I also use many free applications for things such as document sharing, web conferencing, video conferencing, media transcoding, audio editing, screen capturing, media posting, and building and hosting wikis, blogs, and web sites. Why, in particular, should we explore free applications? • Sometimes, free applications are all that we need. Why purchase or license expensive software when there are free solutions? • The budgets in PD and TA programs are being dramatically reduced.

  • Best Examples of EECE 412 Assignment #1 September 14, 2008
    Best Examples of EECE 412 Assignment #1 September 14, 2008 Question 1 1. On August 8th 2008, an article warning Facebook users about a worm attack was published on the CBS news website under the CNET Tech News section. In the article, it was reported that Sophos, a security software and research company had discovered a new malware attack that was targeting the comment walls of Facebook users. Users were lured into clicking on a video or image by public wall posts claiming to be from someone on their friends list. Instead of leading to something that was supposedly hosted on Google.com, users were directed to a photo of a grinning court jester with its tongue out and a downloaded Trojan. At the time of this article, Sophos was still investigating the issue and no mention of what the worm actually did was made. In a later update of the article, Facebook released a statement saying that they had been working on a fix for the worm and only about 0.02 percent of Facebook users were affected by this incident. The article also quoted a Sophos analyst, Graham Cluley, warning companies about the security risks that came with allowing their employees to access social network sites such as Facebook and MySpace during work hours. Previous warnings by Sophos and other security firms about the vulnerability of social network sites were also reiterated. The article concluded with some security suggestions from Facebook to its users. Reference: [1] Caroline McCarthy (2008, Aug 08). Facebow Users Warned of Worm Attack. CBS News.
