Manuela Mejia's curator insight, September 5, 2016 8:45 PM
Although the technological era gives us a set of tools that can help us in our learning process, there are several things that students and teachers at the school need to improve. This author explains that if we are going to start using electronic devices at school, we need to implement some apps that help us to be organized. Teachers and students have to understand that electronic devices are not only learning tools, but also part of the learning process itself. The apps from this article help learners and instructors to organize their schedule, assignments, upload and save learning material, etc. 
Rubiel's curator insight, September 9, 2017 7:02 PM
This article has covered some relevant information to take into account whenever one as teacher  want to go beyond conventional lessons and dive into these sort of apps which are suitable and useful to bring into classroom to develop different activities, these apps in turn help us to be more organized and make your teaching easier.

Android malware spies on you even after phone is shut down | Mobile Security | CyberSecurity | Apps and Widgets for any use, mostly for education and FREE | Scoop.it
A particularly devious new Android malware can make calls or take photos even if you shut the device down, according to security research firm AVG.


To achieve this, the malware hijacks the shutting down process — making it appear as though your Android device is shutting down. You see the animation, the screen goes black, but the phone is actually still on.

Improved Simplocker variant hits Android users hard | Mobile Security | CyberSecurity | Apps | Apps and Widgets for any use, mostly for education and FREE | Scoop.it
The initial version used a unique encryption key for all victims, which allowed Avast to create a free removal tool for the unfortunate victims to use.

But that ship has now sailed, as Simplocker developers have upped the ante and the latest variant of the malware now encrypts files with a different key on each device.

According to Nikolaos Chrysaidos, Avast Android malware and security analyst, this new variant has already infected more than 5,000 unique users. They have been tricked into installing the malware by malicious ads on shady sites, as it poses as a Flash Player app.

New Adware Found In Google Play Apps With Millions Of Downloads

New Adware Found In Google Play Apps With Millions Of Downloads | Apps and Widgets for any use, mostly for education and FREE | Scoop.it

A new report from security firm Avast out this morning reveals the discovery of a new form of malware on the Google Play store, which begins to display advertisements disguised as warning messages to end users when they unlock their Android smartphone. What’s interesting about this malware – or adware, as it’s better known – is that some of the applications where it was discovered already have a large number of installs. For instance, a card game app called Durak has 5 to 10 million installs according to the data on Google Play.


Explains Avast researcher Filip Chytry, the malware was first brought to the company’s attention by way of a comment on the Avast forums, and, initially, he didn’t think much of it.
