Inspiring the youth of today through Digital Media

It’s so important to give young people the opportunity to express themselves creatively.

One such initiative which is doing just that is Adobe Youth Voices, a programme by the Adobe Foundation which aims to empower youth from underserved communities with digital media skills so that they can comment on their world, share their ideas and take action on issues that are important to them. More specifically, the programme encourages young people to express themselves through documentary videos, photography, print media, radio diaries, animation, web communications and other media.

The Adobe Foundation recently announced the winners of the first-ever Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards. The only global youth competition of its kind, the Aspire Awards showcases the very best of digital media created by teens, aged 13-18, who have demonstrated outstanding creativity and skill using video, print and/or audio to convey perspectives on issues that are significant to them.

There  were more than 800 submissions, with entries accepted in eight categories spanning animation, documentary, music video, narrative video, poetry/experimental video, audio, graphic design and photography.

A global panel of teen peers, youth media professionals, educators and media industry experts, including photographer Neil Bennett, spoken-word poet Sarah Kay and director Robert Kenner were responsible for judging all this fabulous work.

The lucky winners received prize packages containing Adobe software, laptops provided by Dell, HD camcorders donated by Samsung, Flip Mino HD video cameras, and a donation to their charity of choice. In addition, winners will get the opportunity to showcase their projects publicly through art galleries, Digital Arts Magazine, plus partner film festivals and exhibitions worldwide, including the Seattle International Film Festival, the Sarajevo Film Festival and many more. What an incredible opportunity!

I’ve had a look at all the winners and amongst my favourites are Fermin Martinez from Puerta Joven (Mexico City, Mexico) who snapped up a Gold Award for this great video in the Animation category and Christian Ogando from the Urban Arts Partnership (New York, United States) who won a Gold Award for his Propaganda Posters in the Photography category.

This great initiative demonstrates just how effective digital media is at helping people across the globe make their mark and speak out about the issues that are important to them.

Have you expressed yourself in a creative way using digital media? If so, get in touch!

Trust Through Transparency

AppId is over the quotaTwC Next

Last Thursday marked the 10 year dnalounge of Trustworthy Computing. Two years ago when Steve Ballmer said about cloud computing that "we're all in" - that signaled almost as big a change at Microsoft for security as the original Bill Gates memo launching trustworthy computing. For the first time, we would not only need to design and maintain products and software with the right security, but we would be responsible for actually hosting our business customers' data in a trustworthy way.

In cloud computing, it's not enough to build security into services. We have to run them in a secure way, and have external auditors verify we are doing so, while meeting our customers' requirements to adhere to privacy and security regulations around the world. Many of US had been working on security, privacy, and compliance for several years already with the launch of Office 365. right now, over 50 people work full time on security, privacy, and compliance on Office 365 alone. In addition to ensuring a set of security best practices in service design and operations, we also meet the requirements of independent audits and regulatory requirements of tough standards like ISO 27001, SSAE 16, the EU model clauses, HIPAA, and FISMA. Our challenge is not just good security, but doing so for the broadest set of customers in the world, with all of their varying expectations and needs. For more information about security, privacy, and compliance in Office 365, please see Center-not only will trust the Office 365 you find out a lot about security in Office 365, you'll get to meet some of US in our videos as well: http://trust.office365.com/.

Giving students a competitive edge through the Adobe Certified Associate

Once again it’s that time of year when university students hand in their final projects, complete exams and prepare to enter the world of work.  I must say I don’t envy them in the slightest!

It’s no secret that graduates are in for a tough ride – combine increased competition for jobs with employer uncertainty and you have a highly competitive and volatile job market. All this considered, it’s more important than ever that universities help students get additional skills under their belt to give them that competitive edge.

One university which has the right idea and is well worth its Centre of Excellence status is London Metropolitan University.  It offers both internal and external students the chance to take Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) courses in Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash- a recognised qualification within industry.  The courses are run through a number of modules and evening courses, aiming to give students a deeper understanding of digital skills, which they can build upon over their university years.

So what are the benefits of taking the ACA? Students leave university equipped with valuable digital skills and they get the added bonus of having the recognised ACA qualification on their CV for that all important foot in the door!

Check out for yourself this video for more information on how London Met is delivering the course:

The Internet has caused a lot of changes in the learning process on the various tools used in computing. First off were those online computer tutorial courses that offer reading materials and accounts on a tutorial course provider's website. Upon registration for an online computer tutorial course, which usually required people to cough up a huge amount of cash, people are considered formal students of the computer training course. They are given access to the forum and discussion boards, which contain necessary information on the course.

With faster and more accessible Internet connections, the profitability of online tutorial courses did not take the assumed leap it should have taken, along with the improvements on Internet connectivity. This is because despite the accessibility and affordability of faster Internet connections and more secure online transactions, people around the world still could not afford the registration fees that most online computer tutorial course providers are asking for. Plus, how could these providers expect a huge stream of people registering for an online computer tutorial course when a huge percentage of these people could not even browse the Internet?

Video tutorials on computer training, specific application tips and tricks, and even on computer hardware troubleshooting and optimization techniques are not new methods of learning the craft of such IT-related skills. But over online computer training courses, these video tutorials have a lot of advantages to boot. Yet, you have to make sure that what you're getting on either a VCD or a DVD, is well worth your cash and your time.

There are dozens of video tutorial providers who integrate tutorial systems on their videos that aren't quite useful or even aren't as efficient and effective as an online computer training course. As such, you should check the credibility of your sources of video tutorials on computer training techniques and tactics. Maximum Software has released a new suite of video tutorials for each level of skill and a specified field of interest.

With a company such as Maximum Software and its years of efficient IT-related products and services, credibility is already assured. Plus, you are also assured of the most updated and accurate video tutorials on computer training techniques and tactics due to the IT professionals that they employ as creators of the video tutorials. After all, why would you need a video on application-specific tips and tricks when you could easily discover such tactics yourself?

With the credibility of such providers of video tutorials on computer training, the next step for you to take is to carefully consider the training system integrated in the DVDs or VCDs of their computer tutorial suite. The main disadvantage of online computer training courses is that these programs do not cater to the difference in pacing and learning systems of each individual. But with video tutorials from credible sources, a seamless learning and teaching system is integrated in each video tutorial offered. Maximum Software's video tutorials are designed to provide users tips and tricks sans the time pressure, thus providing people of a learning process at their own pace.

Pacing when it comes to learning computer techniques vary from each person to the other. With video tutorials that can be rewound and fast-forwarded, paused and stopped, and can be viewed numerous times in the person's discretion, it would not really matter much if the videos were created with slow or fast teaching process. With the video tutorial suite packages of Maximum Software, careful considerations have been made so as to get the actual pacing that is on the middling portions of the learning spectrum.

The virtual lessening or total absence of time pressure in learning the techniques of each video tutorial package of Maximum Software is also a very huge advantage over those online computer training courses. Online courses abruptly end without making sure that all formally registered students have learned everything there is to learn from the program. Come to think of it, these providers of online computer training courses don't even assure that their students have learned something, even anything, of the things that should be helping them advance in their technology-related fields!

Maximum Software provides either newbies or intermediate computer users the option to choose a specific field of interest when it comes to their video tutorials. This would definitely be a big boost on the efficiency and effectiveness of the entire learning process. This option would not bore the person of the techniques and tactics included in the video, for they themselves chose a specific field of interest.

Plus, carefully dividing a field of interest into sub-classifications makes the learning process not only easier, but efficient as it should be. This avoids the mental stress or information overload that a user may likely experience given the broad range of topics in a single video tutorial. For instance, Maximum Software has divided the Windows Office XP application video tutorial suite into several classifications. As such, those who only want to learn Word can learn everything about Word, and be overwhelmed with information on, say, the less used Access program of the Windows Office XP suite.

The video tutorials from Maximum Software can be securely bought and downloaded from the company's website. You can also check on the credibility of this company and the reliability of their security measures when it comes to online transactions involving money and personal information. This would provide you with more peace of mind regarding the reputation and credibility of Maximum Software. However, this company has been in the IT industry, delivering quality products and services in the field. With such a track record, it would be rather doubtful if the company doesn't appear as credible and reputable as it actually is.

Maximum Software products are designed for maximum accessibility and readability. Users would not get lost with information on their chosen videos because the functions and features of the products are conveniently displayed on the site. There are detailed information on each video tutorial package to be found on the website. Contact information of the company can also be found on almost all pages of the websites, a feature which just goes to show the sincere intent to encourage proper website design and development.

Furthermore, Internet surfers would find it very easy to navigate their way through the website because of its informative and seamless design. As mentioned, information are provided regarding the corresponding features of the video packages. Upon acquiring the necessary information on a product or service you are interested in, you can now take the next step towards buying yourself an efficient and effective video tutorial on your chosen field of interest. The website properly gives you further instructions on how you can get the product, and a standard set of security measures and privacy provisions which protect the user and the company alike.

The website lists the selection for your chosen video tutorial package. You can learn various versions of Windows, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and more. The company even has video tutorials on Ebay! Plus, there are a couple of good promos here and there that you can avail with your purchase. You can browse and select the bonus packages you can get, according to your tutorial needs and your own budget. After doing so, you are taken to the online payment transaction, which is very secure in terms of cash transfers and personal information exchange between the user and the company. After a successful transaction, you will be asked your preferred delivery mode, which would either be through downloading the video tutorial on a secure FTP server or physical transference systems.

Kinect + Windows: New & Amazing Experiences through NUI

Steve Clayton today has posted today on the Official Microsoft Blog about bringing Kinect to Windows with a SDK that will be available later this spring. He talks about how we believe this SDK will enable developers in the academic research and enthusiast communities to create new and amazing experiences on the PC through natural user interfaces (NUI). As Steve puts it, these experiences will “transform our relationship with computers”. Steve’s post includes the below video that shows off some of those experiences which we demonstrated at MIX a few weeks ago.
