Parents and guardians of K–12 students are rather aware and concerned about studentdataprivacy, but a majority are lacking specific information from their schools. However, the same report shows that less than half of parents (4 in 10) say their child’s school has discussed with them how it protects studentdata.
By Robert Iskander When they close the book on this era, 2020 will be remembered as the year of COVID. And 2022 will be remembered for an increased focus on three crucial areas: Skills Certifications, Security Compliance and StudentDataPrivacy. The rise of certifications For those students who […].
Its 2020 summer conference, originally scheduled for May, convened virtually—but not without losing substantial revenue that it normally generated from its in-person event. It was early in offering programs that highlighted edtech,” says Frank Catalano, an independent industry strategist who previously served on SIIA’s education board. “It
That can prove tedious and inefficient—especially with most districts now running more than 500 edtech products per month. Even efforts to rate and review products’ privacy features have been stymied, with so much competing, contradictory information now available. But a coalition of K-12 privacy leaders promises a better solution.

Last week, the “Thinking Person’s Guide to EdTech News” was on vacation, amongst the tall trees of the northwestern coast, and mostly off the grid. The pace of additions should be concerning to anyone who cares about personalized learning and/or studentdataprivacy. This past two weeks also saw seven (7!)

An “uber trend” of remote work for higher education information security is coming, at a time when more connections are being forged between higher ed and other state data. Plus: printers, smart speakers and privacy (oh my!) — all in this Edtech Reports Recap. At least, this is happening at the state level.

In a report publicly released in October 2020 , the Government Accountability Office (GAO) counted 99 school data breaches over the past four years, from July 2016 to May 2020, that compromised the personal information of thousands of students in kindergarten through high school. Our students deserve that.
Even without a pandemic, Instructure faced a transformative 2020. So what else is next for the Salt Lake City-based edtech company? But of course, like everyone else in edtech, the rush of schools to online learning could change priorities for Instructure. But it’s OK by Instructure and its new owner, Thoma Bravo. “To
However, it can also turn learning environments into the digital wild west, where teachers and students can venture into new, uncharted territories with digital learning apps that may not be effective or aligned with district curriculum or studentdataprivacy policies.
Edtech programs that mirror video games were also brought in, building student confidence as learners won badges and advanced through the levels of the adaptive programs.

The budgeting team needs to understand the many roles of edtech as well. Edtech needs sustained funding over time because once tech initiatives are started, they can’t be stopped. Online assessments will always raise studentdataprivacy concerns. When issues arise, in-person meetings are best.
In her recent presentation “ K-12 Instructional Materials: What’s New in 2019,” she previewed results from Simba’s Publishing for the PreK-12 Market, 2019-2020 , and talked about how digital is changing—and not changing—the landscape. Report highlights. Join the Community.
Arlington Independent School District is an edtech integration leader both districtwide and in the classroom, and other districts can look to AISD for inspiration. The district serves an economically-disadvantaged community with about 80 percent of the students eligible to participate in the free and reduced-price meal program.
It works well, that is, if you disregard studentdataprivacy and security. Although Rocketship founder John Danner hoped that the charter school chain would serve one million students by 2020, his goal has since been significantly revised. Certainly “free” works well for cash-strapped schools.
