Privacy in BC Education

After reading and reflecting on "A K-12 Primer for British Columbia Teachers Posting Students’ Work Online" I am left with grappling with some key questions surrounding student privacy in education.

1. "While “BC’s privacy laws are arguably the strongest in Canada” (Cooper, et al., 2011, 2), the inescapable reality is that many teachers and schools are using Web 2.0 and social media tools right now and may be in total ignorance of the new legislative requirements..." (Hengstler 3). How can ensure teachers and schools using Wed 2.0 are aware of the privacy laws in BC?
   

2. There seems to be a great deal of risk associated with posting student work online, even with written informed consent. Is it worth the risks to post student work online? Why/Why not?
   

3. Given that the document "A K-12 Primer for British Columbia Teachers Posting Students' Work Online" has not been changed since 2013, how valid is this document in guiding educators in their decisions around posting student work online?
