What sort of security can you expect if you do your internet banking on an iPhone or iPad?

What sort of security can you expect if you do your internet banking on an iPhone or iPad? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Security researcher Ariel Sanchez recently published a fascinating report on the sort of security you can expect if you do your internet banking on an iPhone or iPad.

The answer, sadly, seems to be, "Very little."

 

You should head over to IOActive's blog to read the whole report.

Sanchez details the results of a series of offline security tests conducted against 40 different iOS banking apps used by 60 different banks in about 20 different countries.

This article contains information about the  security of the iphone and ipad users. This is very useful, because users wil be secured from any harm that could be done with their gadets. passwords were being sent over the internet unencrypted this could cause alot of problems because hackers would easily be able to access your password.

Ten keys to a successful school iPad program | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
It seems that every school is considering purchasing iPads these days, and Apple has reported that iPad sales to schools are currently outpacing MacBook sales by a very large margin.

 

 

 

===> It’s important for educators to understand that technology alone—no matter how full of potential it may be—is not the answer. <===

 

Instead, iPads need to be integrated into the 21st-century classroom using ===> a holistic approach. <===

 

===> Teachers and administrators should identify the skills and abilities young people will need to succeed in our rapidly changing world and use technology to help students acquire them. <===

18 Great Science apps for iPad

18 Great Science apps for iPad | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Gone are the days when you would have to attend those boring classes and spend hours listening to  the teacher lecturing about abstract scientific concepts that are more perplexing than illuminating.

 

I said perplexing because they lack a very important  learning principle that make them unlearnable: they do not connect to the  ' embodied experiences ' of the learners and what James Paul Gee meant by this principle is that for learning to be effective it needs to connect to the learners life, experiences, and environment.

 

===> When learners are able to make such connections their comprehension improves and becomes more solid. <===

As it is expected, in the last years, internet has become an essential tool for day to day activities including those with academic purposes. Now, an enterprise that never stops amazing its customers is apple since it can be guaranteed, from my perspective, Apple is the most innovative company talking about technology and new ways of using the net. Presently, Apple released 48 apps specially to be used in ipads that can help the learning process in the current classrooms. These apps are fused with different interests that our students can have such as music, cartoons and games, and they are mixed with certain areas that students are developing in their learning process. Also, parents will love these apps as the title in the article says because their children can spend time on their technological devices doing something different that leisure activities.
