• Contrary to what you might think, the term "viral" has nothing to do with computer viruses. Instead it refers to a digital video, image, or article that has spiked in popularity and has reached a large number of users in a short period of time. While there is no exact number of views that makes something "go viral," most viral media is viewed by more than a million people in less than a week.

• A BLOG: is an abbreviation for “weblog”, a personal journal online that can be frequently updated and intended for public view, consumption, and interaction. Topics can include commentary on social issues, current events, hobbies, the tech arena, political views and events, business promotion, self development, etc. Blogs generally reflect the purpose of a website and can include some of the personality of the writer. An author or writer of a blog is known as a “blogger”. A blog can also be syndicated also, therefore feeding their content to subscribers via RSS.

• 1)   It’s a dialogue, not a monologue. The purpose of a blog is to create interaction with your reader in the form of comments, shares and likes.

   

  2)   It’s writing for others, not yourself. Provide solutions to your target audience’s problems. Provide a remedy for their pain or need.

   

  3)   It’s more than just writing. It encompasses media like videos, photos, links to other relevant sites. Use all the tools at your disposal to peak interest.

• What Is Blogging?

   

  A web log, often shortened to "blog," is a web page that contains dated posts, by one or multiple users, often pertaining to a particular topic. "Blogging" is the act of writing in a blog.
• You can write in-depth essays on serious subjects, or you can use blogging as a form of journal writing, posting thoughts on the movie you saw last night or something you thought of on the way to work. You can also upload graphics, video and sound files.
• Most blogs contain links to websites you think your readers would be interested in, or to a post on someone else's blog that pertains to what you're discussing in your blog. Bloggers can even hold "conversations" between their blogs, with each blogger agreeing or disagreeing with another blogger's posts.

• Living an ethical life is an achievement, one that must be cultivated. None of us believe that our children's moral development is something we can take for granted. We share our values with them and teach them right from wrong. We encourage our children to develop good character each time we talk with them about why dishonesty is wrong, or try to instill compassion toward people in need. But moral literacy requires training and practice throughout our lives. All of us as individuals, as professionals, and as citizens will need to make numerous moral decisions. The ethical situations we face frequently will be complex and often will be unique. What stronger argument is there for making moral literacy a component of our formal educational experience?

• One of the basic components of moral literacy is ensuring that one is knowledgeable.

   

  Just as a scientist can conduct successful research only by being well-informed about all relevant facts and theories, so too the moral person must be well-informed. Too often, moral debates are fueled by ignorance. The recent arguments about stem-cell research provide such an example. It is often the case that those who debate the ethics of cloning are unaware of the fact that not all stem-cell research involves the use of a fertilized egg—a fact that bears significantly on the moral context of the debate.
• Each of us, to be a moral agent, must take the responsibility to be informed before making moral judgments.
• A second component of becoming a moral agent involves cultivating moral virtues.
• Common moral virtues that are shared across cultures include honesty, fairness, respect, responsibility, and caring. Our sense of ourselves, as well as what others think of us, often rests on the extent to which we live up to these virtues.
• A third component of moral literacy is the development of skills of moral reasoning. Moral reasoning is complex, requiring attention to rights and duties, codes of action, the intentions of actors, and the consequences of actions. Along with the critical-reasoning skill of identifying unwarranted assumptions or prejudices, moral reasoning requires identifying the values at play in any moral situation. Moral reasoning also necessitates being open-minded, listening carefully to the views of others, considering the ethical implications of decisions, learning how to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of our own and others' positions, and taking responsibility for our actions and beliefs. It means being willing to investigate our own values. But investigating values does not mean rejecting them. In fact, the practice of moral reasoning often results in commitments becoming stronger as one comes to appreciate more fully the reasons they are embraced.
• Moral literacy involves a complex set of skills and habits that can be cultivated and enriched through education. Like other forms of literacy, it is best developed in the home and the community as well as in the schools. Still, the best way to ensure that we are part of a moral nation is to commit educational resources to this crucial ability. How can we afford not to?

• Academic integrity is the core set of values and principles that underwrites the very mission of the University itself: integrity, honesty, hard work, and the determination to translate personal and professional principles into behavior.

• Academic Integrity can be defined by honest academic work where (1) the ideas and the writing of others are properly cited; (2) students submit their own work for tests and assignments without unauthorized assistance; (3) students do not provide unauthorized assistance to others; and (4) students report their research or accomplishments accurately.

• Collaboration is central to social learning.
• Being in the same room to collaborate on a project is no longer necessary thanks to the many different applications that are available over the web. There are free tools for online conferencing, collaborative writing and editing, file sharing, private communication, and desktop sharing.

• Why is mass online collaboration useful in solving mathematical problems? Part of the answer is that even the best mathematicians can learn a great deal from people with complementary knowledge, and be stimulated to consider ideas in directions they wouldn’t have considered on their own. Online tools create a shared space where this can happen, a short-term collective working memory where ideas can be rapidly improved by many minds. These tools enable us to scale up creative conversation, so connections that would ordinarily require fortuitous serendipity instead happen as a matter of course. This speeds up the problem-solving process, and expands the range of problems that can be solved by the human mind.

• How it works

    

   Instead of connecting directly to a webserver, users take a detour, connecting with encryption through several intermediaries, so-called Mixes.  JAP uses a predetermined sequence for the mixes. Such a sequence of linked mixes is called a Mix Cascade. Users can choose between different mix cascades. 

    

   Since many users use these intermediaries at the same time, the internet connection of any one single user is hidden among the connections of all the other users. No one, not anyone from outside, not any of the other users, not even the provider of the intermediary service can determine which connection belongs to which user.  A relationship between a connection and its user could only be determined if all intermediaries worked together to sabotage the anonymization. more...

    

   The intermediaries (mix providers) are generally provided by independent institutions which officially declare, that they do not keep connection log files or exchange such data with other mix providers. JAP shows the identity and number of organisations in each Mix cascade in detail, and verifies this information by cryptographic means. The users are thus able to selectively choose trustable mix cascades.

• What is malware?

   

  "Malware" is a term for any software that gets installed on your machine and performs unwanted tasks, often for some third party's benefit. Malware programs can range from being simple annoyances (pop-up advertising) to causing serious computer invasion and damage (e.g., stealing passwords and data or infecting other machines on the network). Additionally, some malware programs are designed to transmit information about your Web-browsing habits to advertisers or other third party interests, unbeknownst to you.
• • Virus - Software that can replicate itself and spread to other computers or are programmed to damage a computer by deleting files, reformatting the hard disk, or using up computer memory.
   
  •   Adware - Software that is financially supported (or financially supports another program) by displaying ads when you're connected to the Internet.
   
  •   Spyware - Software that surreptitiously gathers information and transmits it to interested parties. Types of information that is gathered includes the Websites visited, browser and system information, and your computer IP address

• Malware writers are very experienced in using tricks to get users to download their malware. Software that comes bundled with "other software" is often called a Trojan Horse. For example, an instant messenger software bundled with a program such as WildTangent, a known spyware offender. Peer-to-peer file sharing software, such as Kaaza, LimeWire, and eMule, bundle various types of malware that are categorized as spyware or adware. Software that promises to speed up the Internet connection or assist with downloads (e.g., My Web Search) will often contain adware. Another common way to infect a computer through email containing a seemingly benign link or email attachment.

   

  Malware can exploit security holes in your browser as a way of invading your machine. Sometimes websites state that software is needed to view the site, in an attempt to trick users into clicking "Yes" thus installing software onto their machines. Another trick is if you click "No," many error windows display. Other sites will tell you that using a certificate makes their site "safe" which is not the case. Certificate verification means only that the company that wrote the software is the same as the company whose name appears on the download prompt.

   

  Some malware provides no uninstall option, and installs code in unexpected and hidden places (e.g., the Windows registry) or modifies the operating system, thus making it more difficult to remove
