CDT Discussion Series: Navigating Student Privacy and Education Technology Amidst COVID-19
COVID-19 has forced schools to quickly transition to distance learning models of education, and use technology to provide other school services like meal access and mental health services. Although privacy is not a new issue in education, these changes have created new risks to student privacy, often exacerbating existing inequities of access to education. Many of these concerns have been captured by alarming headlines across the country.
How can education practitioners continue to leverage the benefits of education data and technology during COVID-19, while protecting their students’ safety and well-being? In this webinar, CDT’s Elizabeth Laird will be joined by InnovateEDU’s Erin Mote and the Colorado Department of Education’s Marcia Bohannon to discuss the changing context of student privacy protection and the steps state and local practitioners should take to protect the privacy of students and their families.
Space is limited, so please RSVP if you plan to join us. Once you have RSVP'ed, instructions to join by computer and by phone will be sent to your inbox prior to the event.
