I learned some new applications for biometrics that I had not thought of. The only privacy concerns I have is if someone figures out how to reconstruct the algorithm.

When completing the experiments, there are so many variables to consider. From time constraints, to cost of each project, these are items to consider. The idea of using these experiments across the curriculum should be looked into.
Privacy because of fear of the unknown will be one of the biometrics huge challenges. Since there is a fear of giving too much information or not knowing where your information is being held or what is actually being held, there is legitimate concerns that have to be dealt with. A major public relations campaign to understand what biometrics actually does, would be helpful to the public and the people who would be using the information.

The experiments were very informative and helpful for ideas for different age groups.
The panel provided a wide range of information.

I enjoyed Dr. Cukic's presentation yesterday because he touched on a lot of different topics that had not been covered previously. Today, the panel discussion was excellent because of the wide variety of experts. It was interesting to compare and contrast what each of them do.
As a counselor, the lab activity did not apply to a lesson plan for me but it was interesting to have the hands on experience to draw information from.
I do have some concerns with privacy issues, such as the ones Dr. Cukic presented, that they can learn all about you from your computer.

I again gleaned information that I can take back to my students to direct them into this area of study if they are interested. I learned a lot of information about privacy concerns and the fears that can need to be addressed. I can be very valuable in clarifying what biometrics really do/ and don't do as far as data collections and information kept.

The idea that we have privacy issues all around was a little frightening. This is even without talking biometrics. The concept of Big Brother watching and know all I do is what concerns me the most.

I knew some information about me was flying around the Internet. He made me realize it was more than I thought.
I plan on doing the lab activity in my own class this year. I'm not using it for the two lessons we're presently writing.
It might be helpful if more information about biometrics could be disseminated to the public. This might ease some people's fears/anxieties about being ID'd this way.

I learned that the biometric industry has the capacity to vastly change economic society. He also spoke about lots of privacy concerns that I had not thought about before.
Students love hands on activities. For teachers it must be cost efficient and applicable in class.
With all of the stories on identity theft, people are very concerned with internet purchasing and using automated devices. They
are very concerned with how secure their personal information really is.

the question and concerns about
ethical issues.
DNA exercise was very interesting
confirms the need for student
interaction
it is always a concern when it comes to privacy -- I need more
information on the ramifications of biometrics

Dr. Cukic made me realize that by using the internet, various people can find out many things about me.
I feel ok about biometrics and privacy now that I realize that my prints are not actually on file, but just a reference number.

I learned a lot about privacy issues that I did not previously know, like how companies can get information from you through your computer without your knowledge or permission.
The lab activity assisted me with new ideas from the presentations given by other participants - I will try these in my classroom.
I am concerned about privacy as many others are, I'm sure. After hearing the complete information about privacy, I am less concerned than I was, because now I know that it is actually a code, not the actual information - education is the key!

It was interesting to discover that the Internet is a tool for people to invade my privacy and rights through cookies. Also, I was not aware that keystroke biometrics and voice recognition biometrics were options. I like the idea of using biometrics to protect my credit card or banking information, and I learned that this is a possibility through this session.
The hands-on lab activity assisted me most in realizing that my students can affordably look at biometrics in the classroom. Also, the Court TV resources and FACES software will be of benefit in the classroom.
I am in favor of using biometrics to protect security of my credit cards; however, I worry that legislation (like a version of the Patriot Act) would allow the government to use my biometrics for some other purpose -- eventhough it would be creeping and break the "laws" of biometrics. It just seems that now we are considering recording telephone conversations when it is considered necessary for the government to do so, and maybe someday the government may deem it necessary to take my biometrics information to use against me.

In terms of privacy, biometrics seems to have the same issues as the internet and other forms of identification, but at the same time biometrics has less issues of security than these other technologies. It appears that Biometrics can work well with other forms of technology to create a system of identificaton and verification that is secure and trustworthy.
