The Threat of Security

This article was very insightful. I had no idea that schools had that much control over security. As a future teacher, it makes me a little upset that my future employer is already out there and is not going to trust me. I can't believe that schools are checking teachers emails and websites. I understand, if there was a website with some bad material on there, but if it is for the class, why can't they use it. It's just like in the article, when a teacher said something about not being able to make his own bulletin board in class. It's true, a website is just like a new and improved bulletin board.
I understand security is important, but schools need to learn when to draw the line. I'm sure this is something kind of new to school, so they are still trying to figure it all out, but they need a better game plan.
I hope in the next few years, before I'm a teacher, they learn that watching a teachers every move on the computer, is not a good way to make your teachers happy to be there working with you. It is also a great way to keep computers out of everyday learning. Our students need to use computers, it's the way of the future. It's up to schools to bring computers into the students lives. It's not to teach the students to be afraid of them, and make the students have worry every minute about who is watching what they are doing.
1) If security stays like this, how will I handle bringing technology into my classroom?
I plan on teaching economics, so I was planning on doing a lot on the computer. I still would like to have the technology be a big part of my students lives, we will just have to play it by ear and see what the schools rules are.
2) How will this effect my relationship with my students' parents?
I know email is a great way to communicate. Everyone can do it on their own time. No playing phone tag trying to get a hold of someone. I think if parents are afriad to email me because they are afraid their emails are going to be looked at by someone else, we will lose that communication. Having parents involved is one of the most important parts of a childs education.
