On this edition of Parallax Views, Project Censored' Nolan Hidon returns to the program alongside the Media Freedom Foundation's Allison Butler to discuss their recent USA Today article "Strangers are spying on your child. And schools are paying them to do it". Since the pandemic, big tech hardware and software has become even more ubiquitous in schools across the United States. Is there a downside to this alliance between the American education system and big tech companies? Nolan Higdon and Allison Butler argue that big tech's latest ventures in the classroom violate students' right to privacy and stifle their learning environments. In fact, they go so far as to invoke George Orwell's 1984 in addressing the issues of big tech in the classroom. Among the topics we'll be discussing are: companies and software such as  Turnitin, ClassDojo, Illuminate Education and G Suite for Education; the effects of big tech surveillance and the potential for student self-censorship in the classroom; data breaches in schools; big tech surveillance in the classroom's growth and its coinciding with the renewed issues around book banning; the difficult in measuring what the possible negative impacts of big tech's influence in the classroom will be going forward; and much, much more!

Bryan MacDonald, CEO of SchoolMint, joins Discover Lafayette to share the story of how his company chose Lafayette LA as its new headquarters. A technology industry leader in choice, enrollment, registration, and behavior for K through 12 schools, SchoolMint serves more than 12 million students in 18,000 schools nationwide. With over 25 years of education software industry experience, Bryan has been at the forefront in designing technological advancements that dramatically affect all aspects of the educational experience for students, parents, and schools. Bryan got his start as a middle school math and science teacher at the University of Wyoming Laboratory School while also working as a Technology Specialist. He loved it, got immersed in statewide committees in Wyoming that were working to improve school data collection, and ended up being hired by the local school district as its technology leader. It was there that he discovered the antiquated ways the school system collected grades, student attendance, report cards, and transcripts and thought, "There must be a better way." He looked around for tech help and discovered PowerSchool, a start-up company that was the first web-based system delivering cutting-edge services to schools and families who needed ready access to student information. "For the first time ever, teachers were using the same system as the front office and parents were using. Moms could drop off their kids, go home, get online and see if their kid made it to class." This was heady stuff for the 1990s tech world. Bryan was enamored with the work of PowerSchool and moved to join the company which was based in Northern California. Through that role, he had the opportunity to travel to Cupertino, CA to meet with Steve Jobs to pitch PowerSchool's software. Apple bought the software and the company! Besides Apple, Bryan's career has also led him to work with national companies such as Safari Books Online, Maximus Education Systems, and most recently Illuminate Education. He joined SchoolMint three years ago. SchoolMint's customer base keeps growing as its services continue to evolve to meet the demands of today's schools. They offer strategic enrollment management and marketing strategies, and also offer data management and coaching to assist schools with behavior management and support. Originally based in San Francisco, CA with employees also working in San Jose, Costa Rica, the company made the decision to move its headquarters to Lafayette in 2020 after purchasing Smart Choice Technologies in 2019, which had been founded by Casey Bienvenu when he was a student at the Carencro High Academy of Information Technology. Smart Choice Technologies' focus was on the development of student registration and lottery system software similar to that of SchoolMint. Bryan said, "They were basically doing the same things SchoolMint was doing. What if we teamed up? Why build the same things twice when we could build it together right and make it amazing?" "SchoolMint can be summed up in three words: Attract, Enroll, and Retain. We're all about strategic enrollment management. It's a new thing for K - 12 schools, but not for higher education. We help schools make themselves known to parents and help the parents find the right school. It's a bit of matchmaking. We help with online applications and make it easy to fill out on mobile phones." Photo by Leslie Westbrook of The Advocate. During Bryan's first visit to Lafayette, he was left with a highly positive impression, especially upon seeing the "World's Happiest City" banner in the Lafayette airport. He thought, "even if it's not actually the happiest city, this is still special." Bryan also enjoyed other things about Lafayette, hearing that we were 'festival-based, food-based, and people-based." And while having a high-end fiberoptic system was important, that amenity is expected in today's business world. It was the can-do,

This edWeb podcast is  sponsored by Illuminate Education.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.For years, research has shown that social-emotional learning (SEL) increases positive social behavior and academic success and is related to children's improved self-perceptions, grades, and school attendance rates. There is also strong evidence that explicit SEL instruction guided by an SEL program supports the development of essential skills. But behind these research headlines, SEL program designs and corresponding student outcomes vary substantially. As with any program or curriculum adoption, it's important to closely review and evaluate SEL programs to make sure they fit the unique needs of your community. But what questions should you ask when comparing options? In this edWeb podcast, we provide guidance to help you select an SEL program, including:Reviewing the key characteristics of an effective SEL programHow to evaluate SEL program concepts and frameworks to ensure they align with your school's or district's mission statement or strategic plan, How to evaluate programs to ensure they support your community's stated vision and priorities, resourcing and capacity, and equity advancementHear the research that shows teacher social-emotional well-being influences implementation of student SEL programs and plays a critical role in advancing equity initiatives and improving teacher stress management. SEL will be an important component of return-to-learning plans. This edWeb podast provides valuable insights to ensure your SEL program is the best one to support your students and teachers. This edWeb podcast is of interest to preK-12 school and district leaders.Illuminate Education Reaching new levels of student performance, empowering teachers with data to serve the whole child.

  LeiLani discusses recent findings by researchers Dr. John Bielinski and Dr. Kyle Wagner at Illuminate Education on the effect quarantines and remote learning have had on K-8 learning outcomes.  Schools working through remote learning transitions have focused on engagement but the data indicates that there is a clear hierarchy of needs and educators will need the tools to pinpoint risk quickly and make a recovery plan.      

Illuminate offers several products for teachers, administrators, school districts and for parents Primary folks calling in are administrators Illuminate recently had a 5-way merger and had to integrate several ticketing systems — shared inbox, multiple Zendesk instances, Freshworks, Servicecloud. Done by a 3rd party — Import2.com Incoming tickets — several thousand a month. Volume is double during back to schools months (Aug/Sep/Oct) Matt leads the Support Team which is part of overall Services Team (Support, Success, Implementation, Migrations, Data Team, L&D) Support Team has 3 directors (focused on different products) Incoming ticket split over channels— Phone - 60% , Email/Web - 40% (rolling out chat as 3rd channel). Focus area -- How to reduce volume on phone (its expensive) and move it to chat or do deflection Support Tech — Centered around Zendesk (ticketing, chat, community ,help), Phone (Talk desk), Maestro QA (evaluate agents work). Big believers in “incremental improvement” Maestro QA — Connects to the ticketing system. Used to grade agents. Manually set certain criteria (people/tickets you want to grade, set certain questions) and then reviewed by human graders Challenge — Running reports across systems like Salesforce, Netsuite, Zendesk, JIRA is a challenge. Existing integrations are basic and don't help “No one wants to call support. How can we provide frictionless environment” Products are very customizable and many questions are unique, specific nuances that are not covered by generic help docs. We need to understand the context of customer and case so that our agents can provide prompt service Knowledge Management — Analyze user queries and understand what help docs are being used the most and use that as baseline for up dating knowledge. Roughly 3000 help docs across all systems Top priorities for 2020 — Want to build a tiered support system, revamping help docs, Live agent chat Learning Management System (LMS) — Both for agents and customers i.e., agent on-boarding (human intensive and not only content from general LMS, but also about Zendesk, support style etc.). Customer training — they had in-person train-the-trainer model earlier but that didn't scale. Focus in shifting to put training in LMS and use that to train the trainer Key Metrics — First reply time & Total resolution time (indicates backlog especially during busy season). Common ones — CSAT etc. Prefer actionable insights e.g., automatic email being sent to agents that gives them actionable data about how they did in a certain period Recommendation of resources in Support — HelpScout Blog (content on Support is really good), Support Driven Community, Radical Candor, The Goal
