Considerations before using it with students:
- They should have a picture saved to a flashdrive.
- They should write the script and have it approved by you prior to beginning.
- Discussions about how this could be used inappropriately.
- While working on the project at school, I would have all students use my account and password so I can monitor what they are making.
