This video outlines simple classroom activities to help educators take practical steps to keep pupils safe online. It also suggests various methods to increase awareness of the potential dangers of internet usage. The practices suggested in this video are very simple and effective. You can watch the video here

To teach the students about the latest technology; teachers must learn them first. This article will provide some of the educational websites for teachers. To make this year’s Teacher’s day special for our readers (expecting at least a few teachers within our readership domain),we have come up with a list of websites which are making a significant(if not great) contribution in the field of education of different sorts. But there is one thing that remains common among all the sites that have made it to this list… They are all e-learning 2.0 websites,which means they are open(unlike closed,transaction based systems),community…

The “New age buds” have a sort of “unusual” dreams now…(that’s what their parents say !) Nowadays,you…

Mozilla has launched a new engine called Tracemonkey, which makes Mozilla faster than Chrome. The complete detail is down below. Now that’s really getting interesting. We just made a comparison between Chrome and IE8 and the hot favorite(before Chrome’s launch) Mozilla is getting envious due to a ubiquitous applaud that the Chrome is receiving,from the entire blogosphere. And that’s why they are back !…Not with an upgraded Mozilla but with a sneak peak at the Mozilla’s next delivery Mozilla 3.1. According to one if their coders Brendan Eich,

IE8, despite being much improved and evolved than its previous version has been completely overshadowed by the recent launch of Chrome. Word of Caution : I strongly discourage any wannapreneur to even think of ‘building a browser’ as a startup idea because there are just too many options in the “browser market” already and interestingly, every new browser is setting a new standard in this “over-crowded” market. Microsoft’s latest installment IE8, and Google’s first web browser, Chrome (download from here, if not done yet), being the latest two in this sector are grabbing all the limelight these days. A browser is basically a “Gateway…

‘Techlusive’,a Canada based technology blog has shut its doors indefinitely without any reason or whatsoever today Just a couple of hours ago, ‘Techlusive’,a Canada based technology blog has shut its doors indefinitely without any reason or whatsoever.Chris R,the primary blogger at Techlusive was frequently blogging on Techlusive with his fellow blogger(s) before this unusual shutdown. This is the message they are showing up right now : This blog started off on June 29,2008 and saw a sudden rise in its traffic(+15K unique visitors) in the month of July,which is obviously good in any case. “Techlusive” according to us was a

If social networks don’t find a way out to resolve CPM issues, there will be more social network failure like Mash’s in the future. It’s hard time for popular social networks to get the much desirable payback from the networks they have built all over the world.And it’s not one but the majority of such networking sites,that aren’t able to find an antidote to this problem. For instance, Orkut have a massive following in Brazil and India but when it comes to monetizing its network, it is still struggling to even find a ray of hope.One reason can be below average(compared…

Web 3.0 is defined as the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform. Web 2.0 has been there for quite a while and now it’s Web 3.0 which people wants to hear about but has there been any service oriented to Web 3.0 by far and what actually is this “Web 3.0” ? According to Calacanis, “Web 3.0 is defined as the creation of high-quality content and services produced by gifted individuals using Web 2.0 technology as an enabling platform” Some other folks call it “A Semantic Web”(holds true to a…

If  ‘cuil’ refines its search indexing and Microsoft plans to acquire it and fight out with Live-cuil against Google,they may win against the current dominant There has already been a lot of talks of cuil’s claims and then it’s performance from Day 1 of their launch but one thing is crystal clear… It certainly takes a lot of guts to even think of competing in a market(we mean,online search industry),which is already been over-saturated and even bigger guts to challenge the ‘Titan of Internet Industry’ on its homeground. ‘Cuil’ was in the limelight much before it’s month old release(Launch date…

Yahoo mystery behind exclamation mark. It was a forced decision to add an exclamation mark to the name “Yahoo”. But,then who forced Jerry and Filo to put an exclamation to their brand. From the old booming days of dot com industry,we have always witnessed Yahoo! being symbolised as ‘Y!’ (and not as ‘Y’). That means,it must have been a well thought idea of integrating exclamation mark(“!”) with their brand name “Yahoo” to portrait their brand,being different from others. But that’s not the case.It was,rather a forced decision to add an exclamation mark to the name “Yahoo”.But,then who forced Jerry and…

There are a number of Slideshare competitors eg  Myplick, Sliderocket etc, offering better quality and features than Slideshare but aren’t able to gain massive traction. When it comes to sharing your slideshows with your friends, one site that definitely comes in your mind is Slideshare and that’s why it’s growing at such a fast pace. But, the reason, why it is gaining such a momentum is not only its service but also its PR activities. Slideshare had a tough competition earlier in Slide but then it created its own space and smartly projected itself as “YouTube of Slideshows”. There has been…
