a. Risk Assessment Step 1: Identify Critical Systems and Time Sensitive Information Hardware: Flip Video Camera and cables Software: Flip Video Camera software Step 2: Estimate the Value of System Components Hardware: Flip Video Camera and cables Software: Flip Video Camera software Step 3: Identify Threats Natural Threats: Light, Humidity, High Temperatures, Dirt, Rain/Water Damage, Time Human Threats (Intentional): Theft, Vandalism, Unauthorized Copying and Disclosure of Information Human Threats (Unintentional): Equipment Failure, Spilled Beverages, User Error, Lost Documentation Step 4: Identify Vulnerabilities Physical Concerns: Climate Hardware/Software Issues: Equipment Human Concerns: Student Behavior Step 5: Estimate the Likelihood of Potential Penetration Becoming Actual Penetration
Human Threats (intentional and unintentional) are more likely to occur Step 6: Identify Countermeasures Against Perceived Threats and Vulnerabilities Physical Threats/Vulnerabilities Prevention: Cameras stored in proper area where climate will not be an issue. Hardware/Software Threats/Vulnerabilities Prevention: Users need to be trained, cameras need to be signed out. Human Threats/Vulnerabilities Prevention: Students need to be aware of proper behavior when handling
equipment. Step 7: Estimate Costs of Implementing Countermeasures Money: Cases with locks Countermeasures Available: Storage room which require permission by technology center to access by
students/teachers. Step 8: Overview of Risk Assessment and Selected Suitable Countermeasures for Implementation
- Train teachers on how to use cameras and equipment
- Teach students proper behavior for handling cameras and equipment
- Technology Center responsible for storing and signing out of cameras and equipment to teachers and students.
b. Policy Plan i. Security Policy
Neither school, St Mark’s High School or Williamstown Middle School, have a separate security policy.
Williamstown Middle School does however address this issue in a letter from the Monroe Township School District
Technology Supervisor and in the Technology Plan document. Williamstown Middle School: Letter from Technology Supervisor Williamstown Middle School: Excerpt from the Technology Plan
Williamstown Middle School also has a consent form to be signed by parents attached to the back of the AUP that addresses the concern of posting pictures, videos, names, or email address of students. Williamstown Middle School: Website Consent Form ii. Acceptable Use Policy
St. Mark's High School: Acceptable Use Policy Agreement
Williamstown Middle School: Acceptable Use Policy Agreement iii. Copyright/Fair Use Policy
Neither school, St Mark’s High School or Williamstown Middle School, have a separate copyright/fair use policy.
Both the Diocese of Wilmington and the Monroe Township Public Schools should have a copyright/fair use policy that can be used in all it's schools within their district. Both schools use computers and technology in their setting and need to have information on what copyright means, how to properly cite information found and what legal ramifications can be implied when not done correctly. iv. Communicate with Professional Technology Committee
Communication will be conducted face to face as well as through the blog. Questions, comments and concerns
will be addressed.
