week 3

Today class discussed on several issues: peer review, privacy,adding tag in our blog post,real world topic for the final project,etc.
I think the main discussion was "privacy".For me every point of views from our classmates are all right but they are only from different angle or different perspective. The situation in the video that the principal can check what students are doing on Internet while they are in the classroom and suppose to use Internet to study is fine. Students must know that what they are expected to do and they should do in class.But the point is why didn't teachers tell them that they were watching while they were using Internet in class.I don't know if there are some reason why school didn't inform the students in the first place. It might be part of research or experiment or other reason.

I agree with Elizabeth that when people know that they are being watched while they are teaching or other kind of works,people are tend to pay more attention and try to perform the best as they can. Again,this case for me is acceptable because this is in the work place.I understand that this thing is annoying and I don't like either but I just think it's understandable.If the workers, students or whoever do what they are suppose to do in the certain time and space then why they have to care that they are being watched or not.However,this has a certain limit when and where teachers, employers can monitor what their students and staff are doing.This is a link about workplace privacy and employee monitoring
