Microsoft turns jobs centres into tech hubs to improve youngsters IT skills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Microsoft has launched a new skills programme in the UK to improve young people's IT skills and digital literacy.


The Get On programme includes a number of different initiatives to help young people "get inspired, get skilled and get a job", said Hugh Milward, Microsoft head of corporate affairs, in an interview with V3.


The programme is set to help 300,000 16 to 24 year olds take steps toward work and the start of a career over the next three years, through a combination of education and training, apprenticeships and work experience.

Tackling cybersecurity together > Microsoft Europe

Tackling cybersecurity together > Microsoft Europe | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Where Europe succeeds, we succeed

Europe matters to us. For the past thirty years, it’s been our aim to help fuel the European economy...

 

The Web has prompted tremendous growth and innovation over the last two decades, but also a new set of challenges.

 

Cybersecurity has emerged as a significant global threat. Every day more than a million people are successfully targeted by cyber criminals.

 

===> That’s a new victim every 14 seconds. <===

 

Malicious attacks are mushrooming and conservative estimates put the annual cost of cybercrime at $114 billion. Given this, it’s hardly surprising that the World Economic Forum’s Risk Response Network recently elevated cybersecurity to a top five global risk, alongside issues such as income inequality, rising greenhouse gas emissions and fiscal imbalances.

 

Gust MEES: in the word ICT = "I", meaning "Information", so this is necessary in Education especially! IT-Security in 21st Century is a need to get included in curriculum, it's the responsibility of Education to teach IT-Security and Internet-Safety...

By knowing that every 14 seconds there is a new victim to cybercriminals I hope that educators and teachers will see the importance of preparing best their learners to be best protected, even if they need to learn themselves about it, we are ALL "Life Long Learners" ;)

Know your enemy - protect yourself - Microsoft Malware Protection Center

Know your enemy - protect yourself - Microsoft Malware Protection Center | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Of the many weapons and tricks in an attacker’s arsenal, none is more dangerous or insidious than the ability to hide and continuously compromise a system from within.

 

This is the role of a rootkit. Malware uses rootkits, or rootkit functionality, in order to hide their presence on an affected computer and thus impede their removal.

 

===> Once compromised by a rootkit, any information returned by an affected system can no longer be trusted and must be regarded as suspect (which is exactly how they hide themselves and their components from you - by modifying requests for information that might give them away). <===

 

===> Know your enemy and protect yourself by learning about these threats. <===

Critical Security Fixes from Adobe, Microsoft

Critical Security Fixes from Adobe, Microsoft | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Adobe and Microsoft each issued security updates today to fix critical vulnerabilities in their software. Adobe’s fixes include a patch for a Flash Player flaw that is actively being exploited to break into Windows computers. Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday release includes nine patch bundles — more than half of them rated critical — addressing at least 27 security holes in Windows and related software.

 

Nevertheless, the underlying vulnerability being targeted exists in Windows, Mac and Linux versions of the software. Windows and Mac users can grab the latest version (v. 11.3.300.271) via the Flash Player download center.

 

Be sure to uncheck the “free” software scans that Adobe loves to bundle with updates, such as McAfee‘s obnoxious Security Scan Plus, if you don’t want it. Linux users should update to v. 11.2.202.238, and Chrome users want to be at v. 11.3.330.270 (normally Chrome auto-updates Flash, but recently it’s been sluggish to do so: my Chrome installation is still at v. 11.3.31.225. I will update this post in a bit with the direct links to the Flash Player downloads.

Anthony Salcito, Vice President for Microsoft Education shares insights into eductation news, trends, and highlights from around the world.

 

 

 

Anthony Salcito 14 Jun 2012 8:00 AM 


Early in my career at Microsoft, I was inspired to see how accessible technology empowered and enriched the lives of individuals with disabilities and enabled new opportunities to learn and communicate.

 

These experiences fueled my passion to ensure that all students have the right technology in place to help them learn. Educators understand the importance of supporting students with special needs, yet the process of selecting and using accessible technology can be complex.
