At an excellent site for science/tech articles, Science News for Students…
Something I learned from the article was apparently motion sensors are not permission-protected, and the motion data collected can be used to infer things like keypresses and which subway route you’re on.
The bottom of the article also has a list of vocab and a link to questions teachers can use.
The article is a bit long, but I think it’s at a good reading level for my students…
Oh, but here’s the same article but at a higher reading level on their sister site, Science News. heyooo…
Ooh, this sidebar from the grownup version of the article might be useful in helping students distinguish between device/sensor and the actual data it handles…
