The roles filled by educators are constantly expanding. Teachers
and principals have duties to discipline activities that adversely
affect the school climate1 and they are expected to
exercise the care and attention of a reasonably prudent parent in
keeping students safe.2 School officials are
increasingly called upon to monitor student conduct to prevent
bullying, harassment, and violence. More and more often, the
prevention of cyberbullying compels school investigations into
students' digital presences.
Meanwhile, students carry an ever-increasing depth of personal
data around in their pockets. Constant developments in technology
understandably prompt an increased interest for students in the
protection of their digital privacy.
