Education Surveillance
Entry 451 for Thursday July 8, 2021
The core questions:
Credit goes to Ben and readers of his blog for these “Four Questions” and the five stretch questions.
- What did you do today? More sessions (as attendee) of the RNP including keynote by Julia Freeland Fisher and a workshop on use of Twitter and TikTok in the classroom; session on Twitter after engaging with a spam email received from an education surveillance vendor; last presentation of project proposal for MCY by Yue; final session of our #TC4024 Cybersecurity Intelligence course.
- What did you enjoy? Another good keynote by Julia and session by Ana at the RNP.
- What did you find difficult? I pulled myself into a conversation about surveillance by edtech companies which was frustrating but at least remained civil. I remain convinced that webcam surveillance and “proctoring” is just plain bad. Thanks to colleagues for affirming that for me.
- What has changed? Definitely not my mind on surveillance in education.
