Open Discussion 3: Privacy Today & Securing Your Data
Lights! Camera! Action!
________________________________________
“Information technologies have brought many benefits, but they have also created concerns about privacy in the workplace. For example, employers now search social networking sites such as Facebook to find background information on applicants, and this information can influence their hiring decisions. In fact, some recruiters and hiring managers use the extracted information to assign the potential employee a numeric rank between 0 and 100.” *
“Is this use of social networking sites legal or ethical? What about users’ privacy? Because information posted on these sites is often considered public domain, you should be careful about what you post in case it comes back to haunt you. See the “Social Networking Sites and Privacy Issues” box for an example of what could happen.” **

Requirements: What do I post?
Begin by creating a video note discussion in D2L. Feel free to use your phone, web camera, or voice recorder. There is no need for you to present themselves; voice comments are acceptable. You are welcome to post appropriate video comments if you choose.
The total video note should not be more than 2- minutes in length and has to relate to the two parts here:
• Locate and review a current article on Privacy issues (grab the URL/link for later)
• Write and post a brief summary of your perspective on the EU-Google data privacy issue
For Discussion 3 (later in this module), as part of creating the video notes, you will be required to submit:
• First post 300-500-word personal narrative summary on privacy and data security:
o Include the link to the article you located and reviewed
o Include the brief summary you wrote for the Open Discussion
• Answer:
o What information should you protect?
o What information is collected?
o Include protection- type process and other aspects of the topic.
Remember:
You should NOT copy and paste. You should summarize the cited definition- as a college student you don’t and should NOT need to directly quote but instead indirectly summarize what the definition is. As a College student, you should avoid using dictionary definitions.
Tips:
• How to File Yourself
• Use An iPhone To Record High Quality Audio For Your Videos
