ReplyDeleteI posted about the same thing on my blog. This kind of stuff scares me away from supporting 1:1 computing without proper security feature and policies. I understand why the administrators did what they did, but to try to discipline a student for something outside of the classroom is ridiculous. Good job keeping an eye out on the topic.

I would agree with Erik. I think that is a bit crazy. It makes me think of "Big Brother" (1983 not the reality show). Thanks for sharing the links. --Paul R
