Abstract
This work uses the framework of distributed cognition for understanding the way that educators perceive cognition in classroom application. The focus is on the elements of technological tools and peers as extensions of students' cognitive capacity. A qualitative study was conducted with teachers at a combined middle and secondary school in an urban area. Data from interviews in this exploratory case study revealed that teachers had minimal awareness of distributed cognition especially in terms of developing and assessing student learning outcomes. Teachers particularly struggled with ways to label, quantify and apply this construct. One unexpected finding was the concern about a lack of student expertise in utilizing tools. Suggestions call for systemic changes in curriculum, instruction and assessment. A focus on instructional technology as a mediator for critical thinking and problem solving is advocated. Additional reform measures include a renewed look at educators' epistemology through transformative professional learning.

Privacy, Trust, and Business Ethics for Mobile Business Social Networks
A communicational-organizational tendency where employee-owned devices are involved into business communication of companies. Smartphones and tablets are the most general examples but employees also take their own laptops and other mobile devices into the workplace. Employee-owned devices are sometimes prohibited by the company and company –owned devices are provided instead. In other cases, employee-owned devices are part of the parallel system known as shadow IT inside the company. The employee-owned hardware and software represents security risks to the organization if they are connected to the corporate network or access corporate data independently of whether they are supported or not. Many companies implement special BYOD policies to minimize the risk and to house newcomer technologies.
