To help prevent your PC from becoming the next victim, please take a moment to install AND update the following programs on your computer.

WINDOWS UPDATES

Windows 7 Networking Guide

The process of installing Windows 7 involves a stage in which end users need to Set a Network Location. The SNL dialog window can be revisited after deployment, and the settings altered. In this context, location is key. In order to simplify the network configuration, Windows 7, just as Windows Vista before it, allows users to set up a network connection in accordance to location. The SNL dialog offers three different network locations: Public, Work and Home. What it does is that when the computer detects a network connection, options are provided for the user to help define and apply appropriate network settings automatically.

User interaction is only necessary when choosing among Home, Work or Public locations, as Windows 7 does all the heavy lifting. But you can’t even tell there’s any heavy lifting involved as the configuration process is extremely fast, and I for example, have yet to see it fail even once, after countless installs of the platform in pre-Beta, Beta, RC and pre-RTM stages.

Doodle 4 Google ‘My Ireland’

The aim of this guide is to support the teacher in delivering one or more lessons to enable the pupils to enter the Doodle 4 Google drawing competition. Successful entries will reflect the children’s interpretation of ‘their’ Ireland.

The pupils will discover that where they live, what they do and who they know all contribute to their understanding of what Ireland means to them. These ideas are developed in their art work through the Doodle 4 Google designs.

This lesson guide includes ideas suitable for pupils of different ages and abilities. Older and more able pupils can experiment with a greater range of materials and draft ideas before submitting their final design.

The Doodle 4 Google competition has particularly good links to both SPHE and the Visual Arts curriculum and to Geography for pupils in 1st and 2nd
