Your classroom has its usual pre-break buzz. Among the many faces is Valsala, trying to adapt to her new surroundings.Your teacher introduced her by saying, “Valsala is joining us from Kottayam. Her family moved to Thalassery and hence she’s here”.

During the break, the club captains came to the class taking names of students who are interested in competitions. You noticed that Valsala didn’t give her name.

During the break, you approached her, “Hey Val, why didn’t you sign up for any events?” Valsala looked away for a moment. “Back in Kottayam, I was part of several clubs and even won a few competitions. But here, nobody knows that.”

You thought for a moment and then said, "You know, our school's new digital platform might have records from your previous school. It could help showcase your talents here!""But," she pondered, "who owns that data? Is it mine because it's about me, or does the school own it since it's on their platform?"

You and Valsala are in the computer lab, exploring the school's digital platform for the first time.You guide her to the 'Personal Progress Dashboard'. "Look, this can showcase your past achievements and talents.

It's not just about grades but also about extra-curriculars!" Valsala, while intrigued, looks a bit overwhelmed. "This is great, but it's also... a lot. Where does all this information come from?"

You both delve deeper into the platform, uncovering various data points it has collected, from academic records to medical details. "I never realised how much data is involved in a system like this," Valsala muses. "It makes me wonder who else can see this and how it's used."
