Do the students need knowledge and attidudes about Information privacy and Data retention??

An example from real life:
(Clip from the campaign "You Decide")


Silly Pictures became serious

Kristine and Synne is sitting in the girls room and dreams
about being models. The two 13-year-olds is snapping pictures of
each other, joking and giggling. In the last pictures they take,
are they just string panties. Afterwards, they add the photos out
on their private Piczo page. The images are only intended the two girls, and to view the images you must have the password.
After a few years they forget the whole page. Until sudenly one day someone
sends Synne the photos to her
MSN. Some have also printed the pictures and hung them
up at her old school. Synne dare not go
out for a whole week! Today she is still afraid that
images shall appear. She did not believe that something like that
could happen when she stood on the pink girls room and
giggled in front of the camera.

More examples on which consequences inability of privacy  can lead to






hese are examples of how careless exposure of private life can lead to difficulties in both short and long term.
What might that have for theudent's privacy now and in the future?
If the student thinks it is no problem of exposing their private life on the internet at 6th grade, and build up habits and attitudes about this who follow him until he gets older, this may lead to more difficult situations later in life.

What might the consequences be if parents and school do not manage to cooperate to give the students the knowledge and attitudes about privacy so that they are able to make deliberate choices that do not conflict with their desire and need for privacy?

Now it's very common for employees conducting research employees conducting research on the net on the net before job seekers meet to job interviews.





In the work with information privacy and data retention in my class, we have participated in the campaign: "You decide", published by the Data Inspectorate, the Centre for Technology in Education and Technology Council, as a start point of the work with raising awareness by students and collaboration with parents.
We are just now going through the booklet in the class, and we have worked with the book parent meeting in the class.

Through this work I have learned that there are very many students who seem to have very good knowledge and attitudes to privacy on the Internet. But it also seems that there is some students who need more discipline and attitudes than the school and parents so far have managed to provide.
