Snitch-chips embedded in UK school's uniforms
Glyn sez,Children are being tracked by micro-chips embedded in their uniforms in a trial at a secondary school.Link (Thanks, Glyn!)The devices are used to monitor pupils' movements and register their arrival in class on the teacher's computer. Supply teachers can also be alerted if a student is likely to misbehave.
The chip connects with teachers' computers to show a photograph of the pupil, data about academic performance and whether he or she is in the correct classroom.
