Student privacy is a growing concern across K12 education. Although many digital tools and edtech providers have invested in student data privacy, many stakeholders are calling for more training, awareness, and cybersecurity in the classroom.

Schools collect vast amounts of information from and about students – through cameras, computers, and their social media posts. Many children and parents aren't aware the data may be shared with private companies, law enforcement and even analyzed to identify and predict student behavior. School districts and surveillance companies say this is a way to prevent suicides and school shootings. But civil rights advocates are increasingly alarmed by the practices. They want to see more protections in place for students and more transparency on how the information is collected, stored and used. They worry that vulnerable children – Black and brown students, children with disabilities, LGBTQ youth and those living in poverty – are disproportionately negatively affected. This EWA Radio episode is a live recording of a panel discussion Public Editor Kavitha Cardoza had with panelists at the 2013 SXSW EDU Conference. They talked about algorithmic bias, surveillance technologies and other technologies that harm students of color, and speakers explained what some communities are doing to fight back.

I don't know about you, but when I first started teaching elementary school, “student data” was the one term that struck fear in my heart. The phrase made me uncomfortable. I didn't feel prepared to be able to collect and organize data on my students. I didn't learn about it in University, and I've never been a math person, so it just felt like something that was going to be a real challenge for me. If you're feeling this way as you begin a new school year, you definitely aren't alone. I'm here to walk you through how to set up your very own student data binder in a way that's organized and effective.

Since January, two reported cyberattacks targeting ed tech providers have resulted in the breach of private information of more than 3.5 million U.S. K–12 students — and likely millions more. No one knows for certain how many students had their personal data compromised, and it's probable that we will never know. Such data breaches — even if they don't include a Social Security number — are very dangerous for students and can impact their financial futures for many years to come, explains podcast guest Doug Levin, national director of K12 Security Information Exchange, the leading nonprofit advocate for K–12 cybersecurity resources in the United States. Levin discusses the expanding impact of recent ed tech data breaches, what it means for public school leaders and parents, and what policy changes K12SIX is advocating for to protect students. Data privacy is also an important consideration in school district procurement, and podcast guest Dr. Tim Clark, Vice President of K12 Programs at 1EdTech, explains how their ed tech marketplace for school districts might soon see some changes to address growing concerns about student data privacy.

The Trusted Learning Environment (TLE) Seal Program is the nation's only privacy framework designed specifically for school systems. Schools and districts that complete the process of earning the TLE Seal are able to build strong, effective privacy programs and develop a culture of trust and transparency within the communities they serve. In this edWeb podcast the superintendent guest panelists review five critical guidelines for ensuring data privacy in any school system's use of technology. They also share how school leaders can make data privacy a priority across entire school systems. Each of the school districts represented by the superintendents on the panel has successfully completed the process of earning the TLE Seal. They share how they lead that process and the lessons learned along the way. This edWeb podcast is of high value to superintendents, preK-12 school and district leaders, aspiring school leaders, chief technology officers, and other information technology education leaders.ClassLink ClassLink's mission is to remove barriers between students and impactful education content.CoSN Visionary leaders empowering every learner to achieve their unique potential in a changing world.

According to a recent survey, 39% of higher education apps run in the cloud today, and that number is expected to increase to 62% by 2021. Most deployments will likely use a combination of a public cloud and a private environment that remain distinct entities but are bound together, an approach known as a hybrid cloud. Most experts agree that the hybrid cloud will be the new normal. According to a March 2020 report, more than 90% of global enterprises will rely on the hybrid cloud by 2022How is the accelerating movement toward SaaS platforms impacting the campus infrastructure? How radically did the campuses have to adapt to move their on-premise software and applications to SaaS applications over the last 10 years? Do you see this trend continuing to accelerate? How are your organizations preparing your team or your customers for this new reality?Our panelist for this discussion includedChris Riddle, Amazon Web Services (AWS)Chris Fontenot, Higher Digital Inc.Amanda Mason, Unicon Inc.Kevin Pashuk, Sheridan CollegeLinda Feng, Unicon Inc.Niraj Kaji, Akademos Inc.Justin Wenig, CoursedogJason Pyle, Anthology Inc.Mark Simpson, The University of Texas at AustinAmanda Maine, Pay ClearlyFor more information on this panel, visit https://www.nsquared.events/participant-panel-selectionTo watch this panel, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FKCfFVT4CM&t=21s

The rapid acceleration of the use of technology during the pandemic brought many new technology opportunities to K-12 education. However, along with progress came serious challenges. One of the most alarming trends has been the rise in cyberattacks on school district networks. The result is not only disruptions in teaching and learning and school operations, but also damaging exposure of school personnel data and student data. Today, more than ever, school district leaders must know how to take appropriate actions to be sufficiently aggressive in getting ahead of cybersecurity threats and also know how to respond when their school network systems are impacted by a cyberattack. In this edWeb podcast, three school district superintendents share their knowledge and experiences in leading cybersecurity awareness in their school systems. Strategies for preventing cyberattacks and recommendations for responding effectively when they do occur are reviewed.  This edWeb podcast is of particular value to superintendents, K-12 school and district leaders, and aspiring school leaders.ClassLink ClassLink's mission is to remove barriers between students and impactful education content.CoSN Visionary leaders empowering every learner to achieve their unique potential in a changing world.
