"The Legal Implications of Surveillance Cameras
District administrators need to know the law and make these policies clear.

The nature of school security has changed dramatically over the last decade. Schools employ various measures, from metal detectors to identification badges to drug testing, to promote the safety and security of staff and students. One of the increasingly prevalent measures is the use of security cameras. In fact, the U.S. Department of Education reported that more than half of all public schools used security cameras during the 2007-2008 school year to monitor students, a 30 percent increase over eight years prior.
While security cameras can be useful in addressing and deterring violence and other misconduct, they also raise several legal issues that can leave school administrators in a quandary. Does the use of surveillance cameras to capture images violate a student or staff member's right of privacy? If the images captured on a surveillance recording are of a student violating school rules, may district administrators use the recording in a disciplinary proceeding? If so, are parents of the accused student entitled to review the footage?

A series of videos that explain how different technologies work. A bit like the 'In Plain English' videos. Videos available include hardware, Email, and networking. Best suited for students with limited IT knowledge with whom you need to cover the basics.
"Small video made in After Effects about the globalisation of McDonalds. Light hearted video."
Although this does not directly relate to an IT system, it is a good introduction for students new to ITGS to help explain the term globalization.
"India has 100,000 agricultural extension workers whose job is to translate research into useable information for the 60 percent of Indians who earn a livelihood from farming, many of whom cannot read and lack electricity."
"Digital Green's approach is kind of the MOOC model turned upside down," "Looking ahead, Digital Green is planning to build a Khan Academy-like site for the videos, showing the step-by-step connections across their (now) 2,600 videos. It is planning a pilot with Vodaphone to use audio snippets to reinforce messages. If a farmer forgets something between viewings, he can receive robocalls, call in with questions, or listen to an audio version of a video."
Margaret Gould Stewart, YouTube's head of user experience, talks about how the ubiquitous video site works with copyright holders and creators to foster (at the best of times) a creative ecosystem where everybody wins.
Geographic Information System (GIS) software uses the power of geography, spatial location to gather, analyze, and visualize vast amounts of information. See how this innovative technology can be used to investigate the fascinating lands of Asia.
