...Technology Acts Patricia Bryant BIS/220 July 30, 2012 Marilyn Taylor Information Technology Acts Information technology is rapidly changing and in constant need of new acts to protect people and information that gets put into computers. In early years it was giving the letters or parcels to a trusted person to be passed on to the recipient. As times have changes and new technology has emerged more drastic privacy protection measures have been put in place. Two that I see as important are the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) 2002 and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 1974 The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was enacted back in 2002 by Congress with the intensions of keeping obscenities and inappropriate pictures from being viewed or read on any school computers or in libraries. The need for this act resulted due to minors having access and exposing other children to possible harmful situations, materials and keeping minors from disclosing personal information. Schools not only have to safe guard what minors can have access to in schools and in libraries, but they also have to protect the student school record. The Family Educational and Privacy Act (FERPA) was added into federal law in 1974 for the protection of each students record. The law states the rights of access to the record is with the minors parents until the age eighteen. There are three rights granted by the FERPA and they are; the right to inspect and review/right to access...

...Family Educational rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law enacted in 1974 focuses on protecting the privacy of students educational records ( Martin Weiss & Michael Solomon 2013, page 40) this is done by preventing the disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) relating to any student's educational record without the consent of the student o the permission granted by a responsible eligible parent. . It is worthy to note here that FERPA does not apply to private schools and religious schools that do not receive support from the federal government. FERPA also grants students as well as the parents the exclusive right to request corrections of errors or inaccuracies in a student's record. interestingly, FERPA is clear to exclude student's Health Records of students in higher educational institutions. FERPA only comes into play if the records are released to someone outside of the health center. (http://www.nuemd.com/blog/hipaa-and-ferpa-six-golden-rules-of-privacy-law) FERPA does not cover records of teachers, workers or professors of the educational institution. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by the United States Congress in 1996 to among other things promote and encourage maintenance of health Insurance among citizens.( Martin Weiss & Michael Solomon 2013, page 35 -36) It was also meant to create some efficiency and effectiveness of the American health System. HIPAA was reviewed updated in...

...without reading safety guidelines first takes a chance of getting hurt. Although using the Internet may not be physically harmful there still needs to be a set of safety guidelines to adhere to. In 2000 Congress enacted The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) to address this safety. CIPA imposes that all schools and libraries that receive Internet services at a discounted rate follow certain guidelines to help keep students safe while online. In order to continue receiving the discounted rate schools and libraries must certify that they have an Internet safety policy that includes technology protection measures. Websites that are obscene, contain child pornography, or are harmful to minors must be either blocked or filtered. The policy that schools use is The Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). The Acceptable Use Policy outlines rules regarding internet use so that the students, and staff, are protected. It must address a number of issues including personal safety, illegal activities, system security, privacy, plagiarism, copyright infringement and access to inappropriate materials. In addition, it should make it clear to the student that the school’s technology property is to be used for educational purposes only. Student’s rights, such as free speech, and access to information, should be outlined in the document, as should the consequences for violating the Acceptable Use Policy. Teachers need to discuss the Acceptable Use Policy thoroughly with the students to ensure that they...

...Information Technology Acts Terry Sullivan BIS/220 March 7, 2014 Dr. Bruce D. Swanson Technology is constantly changing, and expanding, becoming more improved, and even more dangerous in some ways. Many people are gaining access to other people's personal information, from financial, to credit, and even information about their everyday lives. With such things being more accessible it makes it necessary to make certain changes, and to create certain laws protecting people from unlawfully obtaining and using other people's information, thus the reason the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Acts were created. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.) regulates the use of consumer’s credit information. Every person has the right to know what is on their credit report. People can be denied services, and even jobs because of what may be on their credit report; if someone denies you for anything based on what is in your credit report they are required to give you the information to where they gained access to that credit information about you for which that decision was based. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires banks to maintain certain records in order to verify that credit reports are reliable. The Fair Credit Reporting Act was created because during this time consumer's information was being fraudulently used, and reported to credit reporting agencies. The Fair Credit Reporting Act was created to monitor the...

...records, protecting personally identifiable information from the student’s record and allowing parent’s access to their child’s information. There are federal and state laws that govern confidentiality and how schools can and cannot utilize that information as outlined under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). FERPA, a federal law, applies to educational agencies or institutions that receive federal funds and protects the privacy of student educational records and assures parents the right to access those records. FERPA also allows authorized educational personnel the right to access and review student records without prior parental consent and in situations where conduct “poses a significant risk to the safety or well-being of a student, other students, or other members of the school community” allows the district to release information from a discipline record without consent to employees who have a legitimate educational interest in a student’s behavior. In Confidentiality issues: parental rights each state’s board of education outlines how they will handle sensitive and confidential information regarding students, student’s personal information and student’s educational materials. Such information such as directory information, closed school board meetings when disclosing personally identifiable information regarding students under the age of 18, test security and state test scores may...

...Issues in Legal Context Discussion 5.1: Privacy in the Workplace The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which went into effect date, April 21, 2000, affects U. S. commercial Web sites and third-party commercial Web sites that schools permit their students to access. "COPPA requires "operators of websites or online services directed to children and operators of websites or online services who have actual knowledge that the person from whom they seek information is a child (1) To post prominent links on their websites to a notice of how they collect, use, and/or disclose personal information from children; (2) With certain exceptions, to notify parents that they wish to collect information from their children and obtain parental consent prior to collecting, using, and/or disclosing such information; (3) Not to condition a child's participation in online activities on the provision of more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity; (4) To allow parents the opportunity to review and/or have their children's information deleted from the operator’s database and to prohibit further collection from the child; and (5) To establish procedures to protect the confidentiality, security, and integrity of personal information they collect from children. Non-profit sites are not included in the act; however, many are voluntarily complying. The Children's Internet Protection Act went into effect April 20, 2001, requiring...

...Information Technology Acts Kimberly Bundrick BIS/220 July 9, 2012 Heather Shankwiler Information Technology Acts There are several advances in information technology that resulted in new ethical issues necessitating the creation of certain acts. The two acts which will be discussed in this paper are the Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974. Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000 The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law which was passed by Congress to allocate the offensive content over the Internet. CIPA obligates the schools and all public libraries to require filters on their computers to stop minors from accessing sites that are not appropriate. (Federal Communications Commission, n.d.) The (CIPA) was passed in December 2000. The main purpose of the CIPA is for the protection of children from obscene, child pornography and other dangers of the internet. CIPA does not precisely state what kind of filtering systems to use. This is the third law that Congress has passed to allocate concerns about the children’s access to the inappropriate Internet sites and it is the only one “that the U.S. Supreme Court found constitutionally defensible.” (Minnesota House of Representatives House Research, 2004) Our kids face online predators and other inappropriate things in chat rooms, online games, pictures of teens drinking, drugs, sexual messages, and even false information about them...

...Parents Need More Access Imagine this, a parent calls their child to see how they are doing at college. The child does not answer the call. 10 calls later, the parent panics and calls the college. The college says they cannot inform the parent about anything and sends the parent into extreme fear. The parent assumes the worst and has no idea what has happened to their child, and where the child could be. This example may be extreme, but has been a risk factor that comes with the FERPA law. FERPA, or Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, deprives a parent of knowing about their child. They can not know grades, if they attend class or even where their child is. This is insane and in the article College Kids Have Too Much Privacy, the author,...

...athletic programs, camps and other areas of daily life. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is the most powerful law safeguarding the rights of children in public and private schools and daycare centers. The law also prevents any organization or business from discriminating against a person because of a real or perceived disability, such as an infectious disease. A second law, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, bars schools, colleges and other organizations receiving federal funding from discriminating against children with disabilities. Section 504 identifies chronic liver disease as a “hidden disability.” Most advocates say hepatitis B and C are disabilities that are protected by ADA and Section 504—even though these chronic liver diseases are relatively asymptomatic in children. A third law, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (commonly called FERPA or the Buckley Amendment) prevents school officials from divulging medical information about a student to anyone beyond essential school personnel. ADA also has provisions that protect student medical records. Many states also have civil rights laws that, similar to ADA, protect people with infectious diseases and other disabilities against discrimination. Of all these laws, ADA extends the most far-reaching protections for families of children with chronic viral hepatitis. Its goal is to protect the privacy and integrity of people with disabilities and to integrate them fully into their communities...

...Environmental Considerations and Recommendations Company X does not currently have any environmental initiatives. A few initiatives that would benefit the organization and be socially responsible would include going paperless, turning off the computers at night, and a telecommuting option. Each one of these can help protect the environment by reducing pollution in one manner or another. These are all small changes that could have a big impact. With a company size approaching 150 employees, we can generate quite a bit of pollution just in our day to day activities without knowing we did so. Going paperless has some specifics at Company X that make it attractive. The organization is already recycling as much paper as it can within the office, but that only goes so far. If Company X could reduce the amount of paper it uses it reduce the amount of trees being cut down and the pollution put off during the recycling process. Company X fills up 4 – 26 Gallon Recycle bins per month with paper and we shred another 4 - 30 gallon bins, I am assuming the bins being shredded are also being recycled. Much of the paper Company X is using can easily be turned into online assets that require no paper. The organization has invoices coming in and it sends invoices out. It could utilize the electronic invoicing with in the CRM to handle these invoices. This would also benefit the customers, as invoices would not get lost in the mail. The employee expense reports, which average three pages...

...Assessment Information Technology Acts Paper Assessment: Information Technology Acts Paper BIS/220 Jennifer Dawson Lisa Hatherill With new technology advances, come new ethical problems. In this article, the information at hand will cover the Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000, and the Family Education Rights & Privacy Act of 1974. For every act that has been created; there has been a legitimate cause for it. This article will use the most up to date and reliable information to back up the research on these specific topics. You will learn what caused the acts to be put in place and what the acts protect. The Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000 was designed for public libraries and public schools to apply filter to all computers that will protect children from harmful content found on the internet. Federal funding is given when this condition is met. Initially this act was implemented on public schools first, until the 2003 Supreme Court ruling of United States vs. American Library Association, when they too were added. (Jaeger & Zheng, 2009) The reason for the act in the first place, which was added by Bill Clinton in December of 2000, was due to the growing understanding and use by children. The internet is one of the most widely used sources to review and receive research. This act was designed to protect children from Pornography, explicit adult content and adult language. (Jaeger & Zheng, 2009) They have found that this is not only inappropriate...
