SURVEILLANCE IN SCHOOLS

I attach an article I find very interesting on school surveillance.  What I found intriguing are that the limited zones schools are aloud to have cameras and the comparison as to how negative instances are recorded via smart phones capturing more than the school cameras.  The article does a fine job of articulating the pros and cons of surveillance in schools and provides recommendations for improvement.  I enjoyed it! http://iriglobal.com/PDF/School%20Security/07-0101-SurveillanceInSchools-UI.pdf

Our Project

Our project, (Max and me), consists of having my mother of 84 years experience Skype with family members.  She’s unfamiliar with the use of computers let alone the function of Skype.  Although this is not an educational experience as it is a technological experience within time and space, we are curious to record and analyze her reactions, thoughts, feelings etc.  This will also be replicated to observe whether there are any changes between her first and second experiences.
