This is cross-posted on the Powerful Learning Network – http://plpnetwork.com/2012/04/10/telling-our-stories-self-promotion-or-sharing-best-practices/
This is my response and reaction to Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach’s Unselfish Self Promotion posted on the PLP Network blog. Conceptually, I am in agreement with Sheryl. I discussed similar ideas in a blog post entitled Every Educator Has a Story . . . Just Tell It.
Where I have have difficulties is in the language of self-promotion. I begin with an excerpt of my original blog post and then discuss my thoughts regarding the language surrounding self-promotion.
Every Educator Has a Story . . . Just Tell It.

How I became a convert to Twitter • The teaching and education community on Twitter is truly inspirational...
Twitter is a fantastic collaborative tool. As teachers, how often do we get to visit other schools? In my experience, very rarely. Twitter has enabled me to collaborate with teachers in schools across the country. Combine this with cloud services such as DropBox and Google Docs and you can create and share resources and ideas quickly and easily.
The site is also a great place for discussion. It is amazing how creative you can be in 140 characters. Teachers, academics, technologists and other experts come together on Twitter to chat and discuss a whole range of topics – you can follow and contribute to these discussions by using hash tags.

The new free tool adds to the growing community effort to help affected Mac users remove the malware from their systems. Read this blog post by Topher Kessler on MacFixIt.
This new tool by F-Secure is another advancement by the Mac community against this threat that accompanies not only manual instructions and help from community members, but also swiftly updated definitions for Sophos, ClamXav, VirusBarrier, and other malware scanners for detecting the malware.
On Apple's end, even though the extent of this infection stemmed largely from Apple's delay in issuing a patch for known Java vulnerabilities, the company finally released the patch and has further announced its own Flashback removal tool is in the works.
It's hope that these, and the continuing efforts by the Apple community, will reduce the prevalence of this infection to a minimum.

Hello Mac users, welcome to the problems facing Windows users!
Now Mac users are facing a far more serious threat. Having your Mac as part of a botnet, and having malware on the system that’s sniffing passwords is a big deal indeed, and far scarier than some fake security popup. Flashback is serious malware. Unless you do some digging around on your system, you won’t even know it’s there.
That’s serious. But is it serious enough to get Mac users to protect their Macs?
I hope so, because ===> this incident has highlighted how wide open Mac users are to attacks, and it’s clear that Apple doesn’t have their backs covered. <===

These days, a Web app can be malware. Here’s what you need to know about this emerging threat, and what to watch for.
Tim Keanini, CTO of nCircle, says cyberattackers are talented, creative developers who are motivated to find innovative ways to part you from your money or information.
Typically, a malicious Web app is a form of Trojan horse: The app claims to be something else--and it may in fact run some legitimate utility or application--but once you click it, it runs malicious code in the background that may compromise your system or secretly download other malicious payloads from the Internet.
Speaking of Web apps, Camp warns, "While they allow increased functionality within the browser, users should be aware of how deeply into your system they may be able to reach."
===> Don't assume that you're safe if you avoid Microsoft Windows. Web apps do frequently target specific vulnerabilities, and Windows is often a primary focus, but Web apps--both benign and malicious--are fundamentally platform-agnostic. <===
