Editor's Notes
- #4: Surprise, surprise, surprise!
- #5: Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire", or European Council for Nuclear Research Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist at CERN, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) in 1989. The web was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automatic information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. The first Web page ever created centered on information regarding the WWW project. Visitors could learn more about hypertext, technical details for creating their own webpage, and even an explanation on how to search the web for information. Early in 1993, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois released a first version of their Mosaic browser. This software ran in the X Window System environment, popular in the research community, and offered friendly window-based interaction.
- #6: Government information University research Usenet group, special interests Not visual, text based
- #26: So far, we’ve talked about why we need passwords and we’ve learned that the best passwords are at least 6 characters long, have a combination of capital letters, lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. We just talked about ways that we can remember our passwords and keep them safe. Now, we’ll learn about keeping safe on social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.
- #30: As you continue to use the Internet and emails, you need to learn to tell safe emails from dangerous emails sent by scammers, spammers, and crooks. You may do serious damage to your computer by simply opening the email's links and attachments. Therefore, it is very important to learn to spot the spammers' gimmicks.
- #33: From Gawker hack; 13 most common passwords used (of millions of accounts): 123456 Password 12345678 Lifehack Qwerty abc123 111111 Monkey Consumer 12345 0 Letmein Trustno1 Most common Iphone passwords: 0000, 1234, 2580 (straight shot down keypad) Most important two passwords are your email and social network? Because with email I can hit “forgotmy password” at almost any account and get the code to reset yours. With your social network I can spread a scam to all your friends and make money or spread malware. Or just embarrass you by using your account and posting silly or embarassing stuff. Sharing – lots of girls will test their friendships by saying you’re not “BFF” until you share a FB password. Or boyfriend/girlfriends will post for each other or share an account, then whenthey break up it’s a disaster.
- #36: This is where kids get into trouble. We think they are safe because we installed security software but we let our kids use the Admin account (where they can install and uninstall things on the family computer) or they don’t know not to ignore security software warnings. Also if you give a kid an iPod but not a way to get music legally, you’ve created a pirate. That brings us to peer to peer software. Some of it is legal but most isn’t and downloading free music is usually stealing. Kids who don’t know what they are doing are inviting the criminals directly into your computer. There’s nothing the software can do to stop them since by definition when you install peer to peer, you are opening a port on your computer where traffic is allowed. Crooks know this and regularly scan the networks of connected music sharing computers, looking for financial records. The Today show recently did a story on a family whose tax refund was stolen by a crook who found their tax return’s digital image (from their online filing), registered a change of address for them at the IRS and received (and cashed) the family’s refund check.
- #48: Parents must be aware of cyberbullying and teach their kids to recognize and report it. Talk to your child about how you could work together if it happened. If it does, make sure you don’t respond to the bully. Keep a copy of any on screen message, no matter how embarassing. And if you are a bystander (meaning you were sent a link to a mean website, copied on an email, etc) make sure you reach out to the victim/target to express friendship, sympathy, offer a diversion together (like ‘let’s get together after school and work on math’) If the bullying is serious enough, get police involved. If it’s impacting the school environment, (child is afraid to go to school, feels like everyone is laughing at them, etc) then report to the school, the teacher or principal, counselor or resource officer. But parents need to drive process, leave a paper trail, review the school policy, ask for an action plan in writing. Stay on top of things and demand a respones. (from Allison Trachthill) theAmerican School Counselor Association has updated its ethical standards. Now, confronting cyberbullying is an ethical obligation for school counselors. Section A.10.e of the Ethical Standards for School Counselors states that school counselors should, "Consider the extent to which cyberbullying is interfering with students’ educational process and base guidance curriculum and intervention programming for this pervasive and potentially dangerous problem on research-based and best practices."
