Teaching Blues

Posted on February 23, 2017 by Lynnette

(By Cher Guevara)

I see teachers
Bent over piles of papers to be graded
On their coffee break,
Dribbling sugar and cream espresso
Over tests
That can’t wait for tomorrow.

I see teachers
With butterflies and dust
Drifting out of their pocketbooks;
Last dimes spent
On supplies,
On pencils and Kleenex.

I see teachers
Being vilified by the thundering talking heads
As perpetrators of propaganda,
Nothing but useful idiots
For the machinery of the state.

I see teachers
Being splattered with black paint,
The bloody spit of epithets;
“Union thugs!”
“Useless bureaucrats!”
“Spoiled and overpaid!”

I see teachers
With the hearts of mother bears
And father lions
Protecting their kids
At all costs,
Even willing to lay down their lives
In the face of another semi-automatic tragedy.

I see teachers
With the faith of the devout,
Believing in their students
More than the most pious on earth.
Holding strong
That their kids
Can learn anything,
Can do anything,
Can be anything.

I see teachers
Walking through dark valleys,
In the shadow of budget cuts,
In the blackness of vilification,
Walking tall
With hearts
Of love.

BiCast Computer and Web Trainings plus Digital Hygiene Resources

Basic digital hygiene is about Passwords, Updates, and Phishing.

Tip #1: Protect your passwords:

Enable “2-factor authentication” (2FA)
Use a different password for each service.
Longer passwords that are easy to remember (a sentence or a song lyric).
Use a password manager to remember all your passwords for you.

Tip #2: Keep your computer/phone up to date:

Enable automatic updates when possible. Less work for you!
Run a good anti-Virus package (see below)
Mac: Use the Apple-> App Store -> Updates
Windows: Start menu, type “updates” and use the update center.
iPhone: Settings -> Updates
Android: My Apps (see this article)

Tip #3: Avoid being “phished”: (links that trick you into entering your password)

Don’t trust links you see in email if it isn’t from someone you know.
Don’t click on links from Banks or other systems. Go to the web site manually and log in.

Email providers that are “above average” more secure:

Gmail.com
Outlook.com
Apple iCloud / Mail App
(In all cases, enable “Two Factor Authentication”)

Anti-Virus Software:

Stick with the “big names”: McAfee, Symantec Norton, Kaspersky, Avast
Reviews: link

Password Managers:
