Amanda Todd is all over Facebook. It’s a gut wrenchingly sad story about cyberbullying. Amanda took her life last week after 3 years of hell. The Vancouver Sun article has processed it well, with sound advice. But the teens I m seeing on Facebook don’t know what to do with the story – because they’re […]
I had a help desk call the other day. My client needed to print over 100 pdfs. I searched around for a decent solution and I found an awesome solution – mac only: – open your printer queue. System prefs, print and scan and double-click on the printer. – drag all the documents into the […]
Mr11 offered Mr15 $8 for his iPod. He accepted, and now Mr11 is pleased as punch. I suggested that he open a twitter account. He did that pretty fast, but the more interesting thing was that his little sister, Miss9, quickly caught on and asked if she could open one. Mr15 sorted out a closed […]
They can remote wipe your phone. Completely. With no warning. We did a little experiment at work the other day. We remote-erased my iPhone. The process is very simple: the user (me) signed up to receive work emails on my (personal) phone. The standard protocol for this is called Microsoft Exchange. It’s secure, robust and […]
This is fantastic. iOS6 enables teachers to lock their iPad or iPhone so that it can only be used for one app. This will be particularly useful for Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I tried it this afternoon. A very simple way to lock your iPad or iPhone so that only one app can […]
I’ve always felt a little uncomfortable with teachers preaching to their students. I first came across this when, as a young teacher, I saw how effective articulate senior student could be in making a case for their teachers. I think this is ok. These are students who are at an age when they are being […]
iOS6 was released at 5AM this morning. I had installed it by about 7:15 on my iPhone 4S – and I am stoked. Maps is my favourite bit – but that might because I have a 4S. The 3D building are awesome, but the turn-by-turn navigation (it talks to you) is brilliant. 3D building are […]
A friend of mine wrote this a while ago. If we assume that we will be eventually indexed and profiled, then write the story before it is written for you. Get on Facebook but segment it off to family and friends. Get on LinkedIn and make sure it is up to date with your experience […]
I’m currently helping a friend buy a laptop. I’m bamboozled. I understand almost all the numbers. I know more than the sales staff. In fact, I fix computers, so I know what breaks. I just can’t decide. There is so much silly choice. Just one manufacturer will have something like 10 models on display – […]
Warning: rant ahead. We have just received another 5MB pdf newsletter from our kids’ primary school. It’s a pain to read. It’s annoying to download. It puts a lot of stress on the school’s mail server. But that doesn’t bother me nearly as much as this: It’s extremely dumb. Do you know how many people […]
