CitiZEN-Science: WHAT is it and is it worth to follow?!!

[Begin Text Wikipedia]:

Citizen science (CS; also known as community science, crowd science, crowd-sourced science, civic science, volunteer monitoring, or online citizen science) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur (or nonprofessional) scientists.^[1] Citizen science is sometimes described as “public participation in scientific research,” participatory monitoring, and participatory action research whose outcomes are often advancements in scientific research, as well as an increase in the public’s understanding of science.^[2]^[3] Based on Alexa rankings^[4] iNaturalist is currently the most popular citizen science website^[5] followed by eBird^[6] and then Zooniverse^[7] in second and third place respectively.

[End Text Wikipedia]

Find below a GREAT article, who explains very well:

[Begin Text SciStarter]:

As we face global challenges, we may want to find local ways to make a difference in protecting endangered species, safeguarding water sources, preventing disease, or accelerating medical research. Science needs more eyes, ears and perspectives than any scientist possesses. Enter citizen science: a collaboration between scientists and those of us who are just curious or concerned and motivated to make a difference. People just like you are collecting data by taking photos of clouds or streams, documenting changes in nature, using smartphone sensors to help scientists monitor water and air quality, or playing games to help advance health and medical research. A citizen science project can involve one person or millions of people collaborating towards a common goal. Typically, public involvement is in data collection, analysis, or reporting.

There are thousands of opportunities to participate in this movement that’s sweeping the globe! Find them on SciStarter.org .

Well, I don’want to say much more about this, apart that I back it up! I find it extremely interesting and it should get used in schools as it would certainly make students interested into Science.

As far as I know, it is ALSO used in a school in my country Luxembourg:

It would be perfect (my opinion) for STEM and MakerED, Maker-Spaces, as it is PracTICE!

MORE to come, next blog post about the already existing PracTICE:

Cyber-Security: Advice for IoT, Smart-Home, Smart-TVs, etc.

11 Jan

.

Advice for IoT, Smart-Home, Smart-TVs, etc.

As I already mentioned, years ago, in my tutorial <===> WHY Is It A MUST To Have Basics Knowledge Of Cyber-Security In A Connected Technology World!? <===> let us dig a bit deeper into IoT, Internet of Things and its implications of the users awareness AND responsibility.

Actually (January 2020 and even before…) there are a lot of warnings from Cyber-Security experts and EVEN from the FBI concerning Smart-homes and its connected devices:

SO NOW, after having bought a Smart-TV and other so-called smart devices which are connecting to the internet, WHAT to do? First of all: do YOU really need it, as nearly any devices are getting sold with IoT capabilities? IF NOT, WHAT to do?

Before connecting the power:
- Check your Router settings and block any unknown devices!
- IF you are able to access your IT device, change straight the manufacturer password; give it a STRONG password!

Concerning passwords: I recommend to use a Password-Manager such as:

KeePass 2
…

With a Password-Manager you just need to remember a Master-Password and ALL other Passwords will get generated with a STRONG Password from the software itself!!

Learn more about Smart-Homes:

Facts: Being locked by Twitter as a SPAM producer?!! From WHERE does it come really?!!!

10 Jan

.

Facts: Being locked by Twitter as a SPAM producer?!! From WHERE does it come really?!!!

Analyzing: I recently got locked out from my Twitter account by Twitter (meaning I can’t use my account anymore) itself since 01-01-2020, AND since that time (10-01-2020) I nearly don’t have ANYMORE SPAM in my email box, strange, ISN’T it?!!! it’s NOT ME who is a SPAM producer, BUT is it Twitter itself OR is it my #VPN service?!!! Well, I can’t prove it, BUT that is a fact!!! A fact WHICH Twitter has to go for investigation and to adjust THEIR Algorithm!!! It’s NOT ME, for sure, THE bad boy!!!

.

To understand a bit WHAT is happening:

WHAT is SPAM?
- https://www.scoop.it/topic/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?&tag=Spam
WHAT is a VPN?
- https://www.scoop.it/topic/securite-pc-et-internet/?&tag=VPN

UP to Twitter to sort out THAT problem!!! THEY won’t GET my phone number to unlock my account!!! NO WAY, that I will do that, EVEN if I will lose the account!!!

As on 11 January 2020, my Twitter account was unlocked!

SID2020: Safer Internet Day 2020-Participation

06 Jan

Image credit: http://www.ogilviedesign.co.uk/www.ogilviedesign.co.uk/Welcome.html

.

Safer Internet Day 2020 – Save the date!.

Safer Internet Day (SID) is organised by Insafe in February of each year to promote safer and more responsible use of online technology and mobile phones, especially among children and young people across the world.

Safer Internet Day 2020 will be celebrated on Tuesday 11 February 2020, with the strapline of ===> “Together for a better internet” <=== following the success of last year’s campaign.

My participation for the SID2020

WHAT is special this year with my participation on SID2020?

I created a ===> #GlobalCollaboration blog in 2017 <=== from @knolinfos (my pseudo on twitter) & @ICTPHMS & @kimmindy7 for #LEARNing about #DigitalCitizenShip. The authors are from Luxembourg/Europe (me), one female teacher from the USA and a male teacher from the USA WHO are using my blog post to learn together and sharing THEIR practice with YOU dear readers.

Well, there is a lot of different views about ===> Digital CitiZENship <=== WE will explore WHAT could be THE BEST way to teach and to learn about Digital CitiZENship (hashtag on Twitter is #digcit).

Here below the links of OUR blog post:

Learning To Become a GOOD Digital Citizen | Digital CitizenShip (A Global-Collaboration Blog)
PracTICE: Learning To Learn-Digital CitizenShip (A Global-Collaboration Blog)

How does it come that I post Global-Collaboration blog posts? Well, once the #ProfessionalDevelopment is Upto-Date, one does understand THAT learning in a team brings out a win-win situation and that a generation exchange is benefit for all of the participants as anyone learns from each other. BTW: here below other Global-Collaboration blogs with teaching persons from Australia, USA, France, Luxembourg (me):

.

My publications in the local press (Luxembourg/Europe) and interviews:

.

This year I participate ALSO with blogs in three languages, in English, German and French.

.

I participate on #SID2020 in Luxembourg/Europe:

Contributions de Gust MEES: Publications sur le Blog de Gust MEES (in English) avec 202K (202.000) views
„Digital Citizenship“ Global Education Collaboration Blog (in English),

Blog post spécial pour le SID2020: https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2020/01/06/sid2020-safer-internet-day-2020-participation/

Twitter Hashtag ===> #FSCD (Friday Security Check Day)

.

ALL the participation from BEESECURE for the SID2020 in Luxembourg:

https://www.bee-secure.lu/fr/sid2020 (in French)
https://www.bee-secure.lu/de/events/safer-internet-day/safer-internet-day-2020 (auf deutsch)
…

Why should ===> anyone <=== participate?

.

========> Cyber-security – a shared responsibility <=======

.

Cyber-Security is a shared responsibility, WE are ALL responsible for a more secure Internet and it is ===> OUR responsibility to build up the future for OUR kids, learners and students! <===

WE can do it by learning and teaching the basics of Cyber-Security and ALSO by helping international organizations such as “Safer Internet Day” to become a catalyst for such a difficult task!!!

.

======> WE are living in a world of connected technology, Cyber-Security is a MUST!!! <======

.

That is why I am participating on SID2020 with my FREE courses here:

My English contributions:

First Steps with the Arduino-UNO | Maker, MakerED, MakerSpaces, Coding | Xmas Decoration with Rotating Star using a Stepper-Motor and Scrolling Text with LED Matrix and

01 Dec

.

Two different projects will become ONE project for Xmas

Well, in previous tutorials <===> https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2019/11/03/first-steps-with-the-arduino-uno-maker-makered-makerspaces-coding-make-objects-rotating-with-a-stepper-motor/ <===> and in <===> https://gustmees.wordpress.com/2018/04/08/first-steps-with-the-arduino-uno-r3-maker-makered-coding-scrolling-text-with-8×8-led-matrix/ <===> we learned about the how-to to make objects rotating as well as to display a scrolling text on a LED Matrix. NOW, we will combine those two for a nice Xmas decoration.

When fixing a small object there isn’t any problem, you just drill a hole of the diameter of the axis of the Stepper-Motor and fix it with hot glue or instant glue. BUT, when it comes to make rotating larger objects it will become unstable!! We need then also a larger support plate to fix the object. I used two techniques, one with a copper-plate of 0.8 mm (was still in my cellar for 30 years…) and/or a single-sided copper-Epoxy plate. Copper-plates are expensive and single-sided copper-Epoxy plates are on a less expensive price. They are about 0.65-1€/piece on Amazon.

For our Xmas project we will use a plastic star with LEDs which will get fixed the following way, check below please.

Price is 14.99€, you may as well chose another one.

For the code (Sketch) please look at the following tutorial:

Two Projects in ONE

Once the Xmas Star fixed together with the Stepper-Motor, cabled and the the Code tested, WE fix our LED matrix with hot-glue, cabling it and running the Code for a last test:
