Everyone's school ID and password was available on a publicly accessible server - anyone could have connected to the guest wifi and copied them all. When they found out, we had to change all of our passwords.

From the webstore page: Take snapshots of student screens

Well that's nice.

My school's IT isn't so bad, mind you they do block you from downloading any software of any sort at all, which was annoying when the printer at home requires installation of software in order to connect. There's only 1 device in our house that works without needing to manually install something, which is my iPhone.
Also we can access the teacher drives, but not other students.
We are allowed to have any password we want, however it is stored on a server and all the IT teachers can access it. Not so bad really.
There is supposedly some program or something the teachers have which enables them to view our screens, and to shutdown our laptops, however none of the teachers ever seem to use it.

When I was in Year 5 and I was going to Secondary School on thursdays instead of doing PE an ICT teacher let a student use his laptop, huge mistake! The student stole the excel spreadsheet containing every users username and password and then decided to start logging into every account he could and changing profile images, deleting files, stealing emails etc etc. He also stored a copy of the excel spreadsheet on his dropbox account. I'm pretty sure the student was hoping to get away with it but the student also made a huge mistake. He used the same computer he was previously logged into. IT support tracked him down and the student was forced to delete the file from his dropbox and then permanently excluded. The school did the smart thing and changed EVERYONE'S password in case the student had another back-up. Worst thing was, people were having their files deleted while they were logged on and that's how the school found out. If the student had only waited for the next day and didn't delete files, he would have probably got away with it.

this might have already been posted on the old thread, but a bunch of info (birth date, home address, email, etc) can be viewed using directory agent.


they attempted to block the app, but it can be circumvented by copying and pasting the app onto your desktop

In our IT class we started off with basics like email, word, etc
Went onto scratch, barely got the basics and moved on
Did stuff on e-safety
Spent a few lessons on photoshop, only learnt how to get rid of spots and add fake make-up (AKA Setting kids up to lie about themselves online)
Moved onto databases

I have now spent the last few lessons in the studyhall (Basically the silent, boring hall you go where you practically get punished because the school can't afford substitute teachers. It used to be the secondary / girls gym and is basically just wasted space.) doing revision sheets on stuff we haven't even learnt. The latest lesson we did a literacy test with a completely different teacher and then read for the rest of the lesson.

When we did hour of code I couldn't finish it because the game kept spawning infinite bones from a dead skeleton. It would take 2 minutes of just bones spawning to fill the screen, it would all get cleared, the next part of the code would run and then it would crash eventually

I just found out the ‘technicians’ room (A group of guys who fix projectors every once in a while) have a very large ultra hd flatscreen just for one guy, running windows. Good use of the budget, eh?

Also you can type “gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg” into google and it would block or for ‘Pornographic or inappropriate content’, didn't know letters were so saucy

Wanted to make a joke but realised 8-16 range wasn't ok

Almost every computer at my school has access to a collaboration folder, mainly used for submitting tasks that we have done on the computer. I spent a while looking through the years of files stored there and found some funny stuff, empty folders and useless files.

One of the common things (and probably the only useful computer thing that everyone knows) is checking the owner of files through the file properties.

I once found that one teacher put a GTA wasted sound onto the folder. I have no idea why any teacher needs that.

There was this photoshopped image that said something like:
“It seems <name of school> cares more about uniform than educaton?
Seems legit.”

There was also a text file with ALL of the usernames, passwords and student ids from 2013. Chances are, some people may still have those passwords.


Another thing: our usernames are our first and last names joined with a “.” and default passwords were “password1”. Though it isn't too bad since the passwords can be changed.

lol my school just uses this for submitting assignments online. my school probably couldn't have a shared folder because someone would just delete everything. Me personally, i would just make a hidden folder and have some encrypted iso in it or something that i can write to and it be encrypted lol

This seems to scare teachers. Looks like people believe everything they see on TV .

School says you can bring your own device.

“Do you have to have any specific software” “no”
“What can you bring” "… laptops (Window or Mac) …"

- No Linux allowed
- What is this… Window computer?
