This lesson meets standards for ISTE.
New tech, like location services and smart devices, helps make our lives easier and opens opportunities that didn't exist before. But these innovations also come with a cost -- especially to our privacy. Help students consider the benefits and drawbacks of these new technologies -- and decide whether they're ultimately worth it.
Students will be able to:
-
Identify important benefits and privacy risks that new technologies present.
-
Decide whether or not the benefits of new technologies outweigh their privacy risks.
-
Create a compelling video that argues for or against using a new technology.
