Since this is a technology blog after all I have decided to talk a little about safety and privacy when e-mailing. Students and staff alike can fall victim to the various pitfalls that the digital world has us dealing with. I began thinking about this after reading a couple of posts that came through my google reader the other day.
Misuse of technology is not uncommon in schools. No matter how diligent
teachers and administrators try to be, students will work around the
new password, print 500 copies of Miss April to the office computer,
wantonly trash files or engage in electronic harassment. It is the 90’s
version of tipping outhouses, stealing watermelons or putting the
Volkswagen on the school roof. The problem is that we adults can’t
identify with the electronic havoc from which our students now seem to
get so much delight, since we ourselves have not committed it and most
likely don’t understand how to do it.
