¿Nos recomiendas alguna apli-cación?

Os recomendaría Geogebra yaque es muy interesante paraaprender.

¿De qué trata Geogebra?

Geogebra es un software in-teractivo de enseñanza yaprendizaje matemático .

Geogebra está formado de laspalabras geometría y álgebra yestos, precisamente, son suspuntos fuertes pero tambiénhay otras actividades comopor ejemplo estadística.

Contiene geometría dinámica yesto es lo más interesante yaque puedes hacer una cons-trucción de elementos geomé-tricos y añadirles o quitarleslo que quieras y estos estánligados y al mover una parte semueve el resto de elementos(o alguno de ellos).

En este programa puedes te-ner dos o más ventanas abier-tas simultáneamente y todasestas están vinculadas. En es-tas ventanas, puedes escribir

una ecuación y el programa tela dibuja, o viceversa.

¿Aplicaciones matemáticas quenos recomiendas?

A parte de Geogebra, otroprograma que está bien esMathematica, un programa quese utiliza en la universidad querealiza cálculos matemáticosbastante potentes.

¿Te ayuda el Internet ?

Si, y mucho, ya que me permiteun acceso rápido a mucha in-formación para mi trabajo,como ejercicios nuevos, hacerexámenes, historias y anécdo-tas relacionadas con las ma-temáticas, participar en forosde matemáticas o tambiénhacer cursos online.

¿Qué opinas de las redessociales?

Solo las conozco de oídas através de mi familia o losestudiantes y no las he utili-zado personalmente por loque no puedo opinar sobreellas.

¿Windows o Mac?

Desde siempre he utilizadoWindows.

¿Cuál es el programa o apli-cación que más utilizas?

Por mi trabajo, los progra-mas que suelo utilizar másson Excel y Word.

¿Para qué utilizas el ordena-dor?

Para lo que suelo utilizar elordenador es para el trabajoo para ver videos de interésen Youtube y últimamentepara leer la prensa ya que hedejado de comprar el perió-dico.

NO SECURITY, NO BUSINESSIt Only Takes One MistakeThe majority of respondentsbelieve that security brea-ches shouldn't be blamed onjust the IT department; allofficers of the companyshould be held responsible.Nearly half of these consu-

mers also think that once a bre-ach occurs, companies should beconsidered 'criminally negli-gent.' Fifty one percent of therespondents claimed that theywould take their business elsew-here after a breach that com-promises personal information,

PROTECT YOURSELFTo help protect your privacyonline, you need to decidehow much personal informa-tion you would be happy toshare with the world. Keep inmind that you may not beable to remove informationyou share once it's on theinternet.

When it comes to protectingyour personal information

online, you also need to makesure you have good, strongpasswords for all your internetaccounts.

You should also have differentpasswords for different web-sites and you need to changeyour passwords regularly.

Putting your personal informa-tion and photos on the internetmay seem harmless at the ti-

me, but could tellpeople where youlive or where yourchildren go to scho-ol. Remembering tothink about whatinformation you giveaway on the internetis the best way toprotect your personal infor-mation online.

CAREERS IN IT1. Cloud architect

That storage space existing inthe ether can’t be touched li-terally, it still needs to be or-ganized and given an architec-ture. That’s what this job isfor.

2. Mobile application develo-per

Business are more heavily rel-ying on IT professionals withexperience in this field thanever before. Using basic codinglanguages, developers will crea-

te programs for future iOSand Android devices.

3. Software engineer

Software engineers are behindall the programs we run on ourmobile devices and personalcomputers – and there is a ve-ry wide range of niche fieldsyou can work in.

5. Information technologyvendor manager

Slightly more hands-off com-pared to some tech positions,

vendor managers oversee supplywhen it comes to software andhardware. This can mean anyt-hing from Microsoft’s latestword processor to health ITprograms for hospitals.

6. Computer forensic investi-gator

Computer crime detectives –The Best Schools reports thatcomputer forensic investigatorssearch for, identify and evaluateinformation from computer sys-tems, often for trial evidence.
