Key+logger

Key stroke logging is where you use a system, either software of hardware, to record the keys that are struck while a person is on a computer. This is best used to record usernames and passwrods that people have. It can be used to also record conversations people have and emails they send.
 * Description:**

Key stroke loggers can be very dangerous for educators more so than students. Key stroke loggers can record a teachers user name as well as their passwords. This would be a problem in the same way that anyone having their information stolen would be. It would be even worse if the teacher had access to personal information of students such as IEPs. Key stroke loggers are really not something that can be taught everyday, or they are something that does not need to be taught everyday. It is more so something that just needs to be understood by the students to watch out for. You could have a lesson on how to check for loggers and how to delete them from your computer. The only way you could integrate it into everyday work, is if you had the students check for a logger every time they load the computer. This would only be necessary for older students, ones that have sensitive information at risk so grades 7 through 12. http://wskills.blogspot.com/2007/01/how-to-find-fight-keyloggers.html http://dewasoft.com/privacy/kldetector.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_logger
