Iran expected to permanently cut off Internet by August

Iran expected to permanently cut off Internet by August | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

Country's minister of information and communication says national intranet will create a 'clean Internet.' 

 

Millions of Internet users in Iran could soon be permanently cut off from the Web, social networks, and e-mail.


In a statement released last week, Reza Taghipour, the Iranian minister for Information and Communications Technology, announced it plans to establish a national intranet within five months in an effort to create a "clean Internet," according to an International Business Times report. "All Internet Service Providers (ISP) should only present National Internet by August," Taghipour said in the statement.


Web sites such as Google, Hotmail, and Yahoo will be blocked and replaced by government-administered services such as like Iran Mail and Iran Search Engine, according to the report. The government has already begun a registration process for those interested in using the Iran Mail that will verify and record user's full name and address.

How To Use Twitter For Finding A Job | twitter how to | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

Twitter has become one of the most, if not the most, common ways for people to keep in touch and share information. Just by making your usual tweets you can keep friends and family informed of your life and potential job providers aware of your situation. I know this may be a new concept for some, but you would be well informed to learn how to use Twitter for finding a job.

 

But, what do you do if you do not have a massively extended network of friends on Twitter?

Use an app like TwitJobSearch.

 

This will help you keep your job search information straight, find jobs openings posted on Twitter and actually apply for them directly! This handy little program will help you divide information into categories and save the jobs you are interested in.

Copyright: BEE SECURE: no pointing the finger but a helping hand

Copyright: BEE SECURE: no pointing the finger but a helping hand | Social Media and its influence | Scoop.it

In Luxembourg, every 7th grade secondary school class (pupils aged 12-14) participates in a BEE SECURE training session. For all other grades, BEE SECURE training can be organised on demand. On average, 500 training sessions are held each year. The topic of intellectual property online is emphasised within the sessions in a special way.

 

Although the Luxembourgish legislation on intellectual property has existed since 1975 and corresponds to the laws of the neighboring countries, lots of youngsters seem to have very little information about the topic, if any at all!

 

Obviously one of the subjects that concerns young people most is file sharing, especially regarding music files.

 

Although illegal file sharing hasn't officially been persecuted in Luxembourg until now, most young people are nevertheless unaware of the fact that they could get into trouble.

 

Hardly any youngsters know that music artists can sue them from every part of the world.

How I became a convert to Twitter • The teaching and education community on Twitter is truly inspirational...

 

Twitter is a fantastic collaborative tool. As teachers, how often do we get to visit other schools? In my experience, very rarely. Twitter has enabled me to collaborate with teachers in schools across the country. Combine this with cloud services such as DropBox and Google Docs and you can create and share resources and ideas quickly and easily.

 

The site is also a great place for discussion. It is amazing how creative you can be in 140 characters. Teachers, academics, technologists and other experts come together on Twitter to chat and discuss a whole range of topics – you can follow and contribute to these discussions by using hash tags.
