IoT and PRIVACY (CONTINUED)
IoT Policies Everyone has a policy on the Internet. Beware! Let us say that again. Beware! There were some suggestions for “consideration for IoT policies.” These suggestions were good and contained things to think about: what devices should have priority on the network; infrastructure development; standardization and interoperability of devices; format wars (competition for market dominance) or non-interoperable proprietary technologies on a network; and vulnerabilities of IoT devices. Now for the beware part. This site will provide a sample policy, but it requires a download and acceptance of “terms of use.” Not worth the click. Click here for the entire article.
IoT in Education
How Will the Internet of Things Impact Education?
The age of the smart school has arrived. The IoT can allow schools to use technolo- gy to track buses, student attendance, student ID cards, as well as monitor environ- mental controls such as lighting, heat, air conditioning and security systems. Using radio-frequency chips embedded in student ID cards, students are trackable. It may not be as magical as Harry Potter’s Marauder's Map, but it does the trick. Students can also integrate wearable devices such as watches, fitness bands and virtual reality headsets into classrooms. These devices can help teachers monitor students and make adjustments for learning styles. Click here.
How the IoT in Education is Changing the Way we Learn?
It is believed that the rise of mobile technology along with the IoT will allow schools to improve the safety of its campuses by keeping track of re- sources and enhancing access to information. The traditional lesson plan will develop into a “smart lesson plan” by incorporating the IoT. But is the IoT making teaching more efficient or is it causing more disruption in the classroom? Connecting mul- tiple devices together has a place for efficiency, but is it inside the classroom or outside the classroom? In the end, we want to create lifelong learners, not students who are multitasking without effectively getting anything done. Click here.
