I'm looking at the privacy implications of 'a tablet for every student'
initiatives.
One particular context is Turkey (which has a big project in the area).
I'm presenting on the topic in Istanbul on Mon 27 Oct.
I've flung a set of notes and slides together.
The Abstract, Intro and Conclusions are in text, but the remainder is just
bullet-points on slides. No images (I'll try to add a few), and no text in the
main body (I'll try to develop that, but time will beat me).
All thoughts are very welcome, especially 'reality checks', 'constructively
negative feedback', sources, etc.
Thanks!

Smartphones and tablets in the hands of pre-tertiary students create great
educational opportunities. This paper considers the privacy implications of
educational initiatives involving 'a handheld for every student'.
First, some insights into the conflicts arising in such projects are provided
by means of two scenarios. One considers the maximum freedom for students, and
the other features a great deal of protection and control. Both are
unsatisfactory for key stakeholders. Middle paths need to be achieved.
The body of the paper commences with reviews of the several dimensions of
privacy, the interests that compete with it, and the processes involved in
achieving suitable balances among the various interests. It then considers the
particular circumstances of young people, at school, at home, and elsewhere in
their communities. Key aspects of the legal and institutional contexts are
identified, and stakeholder groups delineated. The various use of handhelds are
outlined, and choices are identified.
