internet privacy

internet privacy...ha!...now there's an oxymoron for you! In light of the ongoing Facebook fuss regarding privacy here's ten tips on how to adjust your Facebook privacy settings and a couple of You Tube videos that I stumbled upon during the week. Show them to your students - today! It gets the message across to them, loud and clear.

On another note, who has caught onto the fever accompanying the new doodle (Google's term for its events and holiday specific logo's) the interactive Pac man to celebrate 30 years since the launch of the familiar smiley face. How cool is that!  It's very, very addictive, takes me back to my youth!

If you're a techie yourself, a zip folder of the files to download, thanks to azabani are here.  The sound doesn't work so here is a tip from dwelc at google support on how to get the sound working

"I downloaded the GooglePacman.zip, and extracted it. At first, the sound didn't work. Then, you have to go to the Flash Control Panel at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html, then press "Edit Locations", then "Add Location", then "Browse for Folder", then select the folder you extracted the files to. After that, the sound worked fine for me!"

Well as someone twittered a couple of days ago, "they can't ban Google in schools" so keep a look out for Pac man addicts in your classroom.
