01 Safenetting Stalker Alert : avoid fake content that will stalk you
These web ads look like content items ... they usually key in on political or social issues. We call them stalker ads. Once you click one, the site makes money, and until you flush your cookies, you'll be stalked by this company. There may or may not be content at the destination. Most likely you'll find these at the bottom of a news article in a news site, or along the side in another column. What you'll find is they seldom deliver the what they promise, and may be entirely fake... just to get you to click.

03 Apple Watch InfoManager: antiques, Apple][ watch, crazy collections, video, David Pogue and more
This edition of Apple Watch InfoManager is all fun and games, and very little actual benefit -- but that's what we love about the Apple Watch -- until you've tried it, well, it's fun and games. David Pogue's review is wonderful (just turn on your strongest security before you go to Yahoo.com) and thanks to Lynn, we've got some real gems off the pages of Facebook ... see there, Facebook is actually good for something besides political crap and meme idiots! Have fun!

04 Net Neutrality : zero rating, Mass Surveillance, Rand Paul, Fiorina on Obama, populism, and more
The smoke will never settle for Net Neutrality because we've opened a wound that will never heal. We're also seeing the adverse effects of legislation for the web, which does not affect other countries. What's good for the goose, isn't necessarily good for the gander. But after all, the InfoManager will keep you on top of things . .

But then, thank goodness, we met Russ and Tina De Maris!

11 Joe Showker's "From The Frontline" -- Digital Ethics: Spring 2015
2015 Spring Digital Ethics, Digital Citizenship and Internet Safety News briefs for students, parents and professionals living, learning and teaching in the digital world
It's Spring Time in the Valley... all that snow shoveling is just a memory now. This Spring edition of the Frontline features curriculum ideas and tools for schools to teach digital citizenship and internet safety. Many divisions are in the midst of digital conversions. That process brings new directions and methodology for student generated activities and learning.
But first, some "overstuffed links", current trends and information on cellphones, apps, privacy, parenting and digital ethics.
