"Most homework help I can do over the phone," Bean said. "But, occasionally, on a math question," she has to actually see the problem.
So the Beans implemented Logitech Web cameras.
"They lift the book to the camera and you see the problem," she said. "It was one of the things I promised before I was sworn in. They said, `Mom, what if we have a homework question that Dad can't help us with?' I said we'll get this camera, and you can show it to me."
The kids have to enter a security code to log into the computer network on Capitol Hill.
"Then the machine is authorized to talk to our machine," said Awan, Bean's IT manager. "Everybody wants to hack into government institutions, so you have to secure yourself."
Overall, for Bean, effective technology use can lead to greater transparency between government and its constituents.

As was the case with HIllary's private email server, this story will run up against the public's total technical illiteracy. For people familiar with IT operations these kinds of things raise a huge flashing red flag and banner - they KNOW that this is a big big problem. Awan having the kind of access that would allow him to set up remote services on the network accessible to kids means he basically had unfettered access to everything. Focus on what he probably did with that information, the shady money, any ties to spying, etc. The technical matters will be used in court and be known by those who can understand (a few hundred k people in the USA), but the media will attempt to whitewash all of that. Great find and post - keep digging and archive EVERYTHING with this guy's name on it.
