However, if you're an active user—and especially if you're using it for business—you likely have a great deal of value locked up in the sites. If something were to happen, you could lose it all. That would mean hundreds of hours down the drain, and hundreds more to rebuild what was lost. Okay, I'm guessing you're sufficiently worried at this point. So now it's time for me to swoop in and allay your fears. Thanks to a recent article on Entrepreneur.com, I can offer six tools to help you "cast a social safety net."

Then they hit school, and that creativity slowly goes away. They get in a rut. Flowers are plain red. Leaves are ordinary green. Princesses are all clean-shaven. The trouble is, those kids will grow up, and not know how to function in a world where there aren’t “correct” answers or multiple choice tests. But, there’s hope. Happily, some teachers haven’t lost that creative spark and they’re determined to teach their students to be creative thinkers rather than drones. Dorothy Shapland is a kindergarten teacher in Denver, Colorado. Her kids play with blocks and Hot Wheels toy cars. They think they’re playing, but they’re really learning about speed and mechanics. She says, “I always knew that kindergarten would be my favorite age group because their minds sparked in ways the pre-schoolers weren’t ready for, and the first graders were already beginning to forget.” Monika Hardy calls herself a ‘facilitator” rather than a teacher. She’s not interested in a traditional classroom. Instead, she wants to help inspire kids to teach themselves. She’s created a space (in Loveland, CO – is there something in the air there?) called the Innovation Lab. There’s no teaching to a test or a pre-set curriculum. Instead kids can explore, connect, and learn from other kids all over the world. What have they learned? Well, chess, Hebrew, robotics, gaming, programming, and music composition (among other things). Mary Louise Penaz lights up when she talks about her students. She teaches at Baruch College in New York City. Her class is about literature and writing, but it’s not your everyday English class. She encourages her students to question, think creatively, and review each others’ work. Her “textbooks” include Thinkertoys and the Creative Whack Pack. Barbara Bratzel teaches fourth-grade science and eighth-grade physics at a private school in Massachusetts using Lego and marshmallow Peeps candy. She even wrote a book about it called Physics by Design, which is sold on Lego’s official site (full disclosure, we were roommates in college). Photo credit: Cambodia4kids.org – Beth Kanter  |
What are you doing to protect your social media content and contacts? The answer, for most of you, is probably "nothing." It's not your fault. In all honesty, few people even consider the possibility of losing their social content.
Ever take a good look at a drawing done by a four year old? They haven’t “learned” convention yet, and their drawings are a riot of color. People come in purple. Flowers have faces, and princesses can wear beards.| You are subscribed to email updates from Upmarket To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now. | Email delivery powered by Google |
