The girl swallows the pill. Millions of tiny magnetic nanoparticles
disperse into her bloodstream. They are her trusty scouts, tracking her
body for early signs of cancer, heart disease, and other conditions. Her
wearable wristband magnetically recalls the nanoparticles to her wrist veins
for instant skin read-outs. She is constantly monitored by physicians and
healthcare companies. In return, she receives the best chances of a long,
healthy life.

I Agree but Do I Know: Privacy and Student Data, we examine the evolving
legislation around "safe" online educational products, as well as the
responsibilities of school, parent, and technology vendor. We describe some
simple ways to gauge the intentions of online vendors, and to look beneath
the surface of online products designed for school use. We caution that
vendors are often able to collect information for purposes far beyond those
that directly benefit a school or library. Therefore, it is imperative for
libraries to develop protocols for vetting online products, in order to
protect the privacy of their patrons, especially students and youth.
Many librarians in many contexts find themselves needing to teach patrons,
students, or even each other about protecting privacy online. Fortunately,
no one has to start from zero: many excellent teaching resources already
exist. Those listed below, arranged by audience, are just the tip of the
iceberg.
