About This Lesson
Schools and districts are investing in a wide range of student surveillance measures, both on campus and online. But what are the trade-offs when we prioritize safety over privacy? Monitoring software can track what students say and do online, sometimes even on students' privately owned devices or social media accounts. Many students might not realize just how invasive some digital safety measures have become. Use this lesson plan to start a discussion with your students about the delicate balance between privacy and safety in the digital world.
