How does COPPA affect you Typically you should get permission from a child guardian or parent, before posting anything that would otherwise be considered private. Posting work on the internet for example the child class, grades, class pictures or name can jeopardize the child’s safety, especially when the child turns in school work to you. you do not have the rights to share the child’s work publicly without the parents permission.

Privacy when students are not online must also be protected. Software that manages grades and personal data should be protected, so that no one can access information without consent. Irresponsible sharing of network accounts can result in serious violation of the students rights.

Just as how teachers do not allow unwanted printable work in the classroom, the teacher must also ensure that such material available to students via technology is kept out of the classroom. That their students do not violate the privacy of others, by uploading material inconsistent with classroom policy. This should also be included in the children’s AUP.

Students who come from wealthy backgrounds are a leap ahead because of readiness and home access to internet. Some schools are only equipped with one computer to a classroom, or in a library making user ability and accessibility difficult.

The Digital Divide also occur along the line of ethnicity, gender, and minority grouping. 1. Fewer women has computer related jobs 2.
