My school says that they can watch what you're doing on the internet, is this true or are they just trying to scare us?

least you have an idea what you don't know now. 😀

hardest thing for new teachers to deal with is they don't know what they don't know. takes at least a year for the veteran teachers to help them figure out how much they don't know. i knew a lot of students that could do a ton with a pc, more than me in some areas. i spent time with them trying to figure out what we could do that was not illegal with that knowledge. mostly the answer was to swap sides and help the good guys keep folks like us in check. but to do that you do have to know the dark side so to speak.

i still pay a lot of attention to certain things i no longer actively use. but knowing they are out there and how they work helps me in my day to day keeping other people's pc's safe and running smooth.

my school ran windows pc with smart boards. was a good combo that let us basically have a giant tablet on the wall. nothing like a touch screen whiteboard to really let me have fun with lessons. i taught math (as name suggests) and you got to do anything you can to make it slightly entertaining. 😀
 
Yeah,my old school had smartboards. They were actually smart with their choice pcs though. Just of bunch of Dell optiplexes and latitudes lol. At least there not spending thousands of dollars on macs with retina displays XD
 
i had to add ram to my optiplex in my classroom. was not enough to run all the stuff i ran at once. i always had a handful of stuff going as well as the smart overlay and screen capture software so i could post the lessons online later.

i ran out and bought 32 gb for my machine in my room. the 4 gb it came with was not even close to enough :) seems the folks in charge of buying would know this but they went for cheap first and foremost like most systems do. not a fan of the macs but at least they did not cheap out and get a bunch of lenovo bottom of the barrel stuff. same money on pc's would have gone a lot further but at least they did not cheap out and went for quality stuff.
 
As a network admin every week I would check out the list of the most popular 25-50 urls. A few random mis-steps are not worth my time to address, but a few thousand hits to something not work friendly is a management issue that will be addressed. A half hour on a porn site will rack up hundreds of hits. Visiting job search sites is also forbidden at work.

For some reason women will object to men watching porn, but think it is OK for them to visit Chippendale. I disagree. What is wrong (at work or school) for men is also wrong for women.
 
google/bing chippendale. Can't believe I have to tell you that. The computer is the schools, just like the computer when you get a job. Try reading your end user license agreement on everything you use, including your home access. Nothing new here.
 




^LOL This!! Tell the minor to google chippendale! Do it at at school, on their network, while your at it making sure their I.P. department is doing their job! RofL

But for me, when anyone mentions chippendale, I automatically default to, Chip'n'Dale:

Since most kids don't know who they are either!
 
Used to work as IT support in a school and there were certain forms that were the usual culprits to play online games instead of studying. So we can see what sites they were on and if not one they should be on, I could connect to the pc see what they were doing. I could see the web address and add it to the banned list. The class room at times they use is next to the IT support room and when the ban happened the cry would go up "oh they've banned it", quite amusing really :). I think they did it just to test us. This at least was better than the mice and keyboards that were wreaked.
 
You should always assume anything you do on the Internet can be seen by anyone, at anytime, and that anything you post will never go away. All true statements.
 
yes it's true. They must have an IP camera setup.

 


No, they don't need an IP cam. Any IT dept can view all traffic coming over their network.
 
and can they see what im doing even on my gmail and on pc cuz i went back to the school acount and noticed i had the same history from my account except the bad sites
