This item has made the rounds on social media over the last few days. It describes how a group of middle school boys notices a problem with how a teacher was behaving and used their internet and data skills to document incidents and eventually saw the teacher suspended after a girl's parents threatened to file a restraining order against him. It would have been an even better story had anyone listened to the boys' complains, but that's not what happened. Still, it's a good case study in how data and media literacy is evolving over time.
