Perspectives – three sides of the story



Who is watching you? What are you doing when you THINK no one is looking?

Below are three different short news stories relating to a situation developing outside of Philadelphia right now. The long and the short of it is that a school district may have misused a security program that allowed them remote access into built in cameras on computers that students had taken home.

Read the three articles; pick a topic/perspective to write a commentary from:

  1. As a student, how paranoid are you now that Big Brother may be invading your privacy?

  2. As a school district, what measures can you go to in an effort to protect your property?

  3. As a software manufacturer, what is your level of responsibility on how your product is used?

  1. This issue should be nonexistent if the school district to proper measures to start off with.
