I always love seeing blog entries that contain great resource references. So, I thought I would start one! Here is the start of a list that I decided to start compiling of some really good blogs that contain a ton of resources, tips, tricks and more links. Feel like sharing yours and growing the list?

Custom Training and eLearning Blog
An ideal way to engage learners is through video. As an example of the popularity of video you only need look as far as the website YouTube, which currently has 15 hours of footage uploaded to it by users every minute. Digital technology whether it is mobile, video or computer games has fundamentally reshaped the way most of us connect with, make sense of and engage with society.
We need to understand that most of the younger generation will expect an entirely new type of relationship with the world around them that does not rely on accessing information but on creating new knowledge, resources and products. While core basic skills remain vital, new developments and the increasingly collaborative nature of learning will challenge our existing educational infrastructure.
e-Learning guru Lord Puttman stated that "only by engaging with these new and at times intimidating challenges for the process of teaching and learning - almost all of which are facilitated by digital technology - will we produce a generation of creative learners with a breadth and a depth of understanding capable of dealing with this new incredibly difficult century”. As part of his call for a rethink of traditional educational models Puttnam has made a film entitled We Are The People. It is available free from www.wearethepeoplemovie.com

Forbes recently compiled a list of the seven Most-Hacked software titles for 2009. They took a survey of security professionals from various companies including Verisign, TippingPoint, iDefense and Qualys. Based on this survey, Forbes found that the following were the most hacked software titles from 2009.
Even though Adobe has become a major focus for hackers, old targets such as Explorer and Firefox are still far from secure. Researchers also note that hackers are turning awary from bugs in operating systems to focus on applications. Partly because operating systems are more securely coded and are systematically patched more frequently than applications that run on them. Application patches are not implemented as frequently by users even after they are issued by a vendor.
For the new year, make sure you keep on top of your ptaches and make sure you are especially dilligent with patches released by your application vendors.
Have a safe and prosperous new year! Our best wishes to all of our clients and followers for the new year.
