Privacy in BC Education

 Reading through "A K–12 Primer for British Columbia Teachers Posting Students’ Work Online", I was struck by the onerous nature of the checks and balances that are required to post student work or information online.  Here are three questions that bubbled out of my reading.

  1. According to the American Journal of Epidemiology, social media use is "correlated with self-reported declines in mental and physical health and life satisfaction."  With that in mind, should our schools be promoting or arresting its use? ('Mental Health Dilemma')
  2. Does your school have a 'do not publish' list of students?  If so, how is it provided, maintained, and used by staff?
  3. Are your school Consent/Permission forms clearly written and simple?
