Victorian Teacher Notebook Scandal - 0 views

  • As you can imagine, conspiracy theories abound. The department lost its previous Mac loving secretary with the change of government, and many worry that the department techs, who have always tried to pretend Macs just don’t exist, are now having their way and trying to push them out of the system altogether.
  •  
    But after a change to a conservative government that has a very poor track record when it comes to supporting public education, Victorian teachers are slowly awakening to a very different landscape. Perhaps the most rude awakening has occurred by way of the latest notebook lease offer from DEECD.

    As part of its continued focus on optimising technology in schools, the Victorian Government, with support from Apple, is examining how iPads can be best used in schools. In a classroom with 1-to-1 devices such as the iPad, contemporary ways of learning can be optimised. ICT-rich learning and teaching opportunities can increase student participation, engagement and achievement.

Offshore cloud privacy may be "impossible," says commissioner | Delimiter - 1 views

  • cloud computing was being used “increasingly” by Victorian agencies, in order to reduce capital and operational costs.
  • Given that many cloud computing service providers are in jurisdictions which do not have similar privacy or data protection laws, if a security breach occurs, an individual in Victoria will be powerless to take action against the cloud service provider and will only be able to complain to the Victorian government organisation
  • large organisations need to look in a more granular fashion at what sort of data they are interested in storing in the cloud — arguing that some data could be harmlessly stored offshore — compared with sensitive data
  •  
    "Victoria's privacy commissioner has issued a stark warning to government agencies about the use of cloud computing, warning that it may be "impossible" to protect personal information held about Australians when it was located offshore - or even just outside Victoria."
