Technology VS Privacy

With Tech Taking Over in Schools, Worries Rise

I do not understand why there is any question as to if we should make the privacy around our children's information both in and out of schools more private.  If schools are incorporating educational technology and advancing to such a high level, I completely agree that the walls around them should be built higher as well.  Hackers can hurt anyone, but our children are three times more vulnerable to have their information either stolen or exploited, possibly ruining their careers or life.  Young children do not know any better, and will get on the internet, even at school with no concern to if he/she logs out or if any of his information is saved.  As parents and educators, I feel like it is our duty to protect our children, their identity, and their privacy.

How Shutterfly and Other Social Sites Leave Your Kids Vulnerable to Hackers

It really concerns me that people are not more careful with their children's information.  Pictures, locations, and names are vital pieces of information that kidnappers, rapists, etc. need to target and lure out your children so that you may never see them again.  I would not constantly post my son's image all over a social media webisite along with his location, ESPECIALLY one whose privacy guards are being questioned.  There is little to no concern! What is wrong with people???
