Dear Partner for Human Dignity, Announcing a Major Victory You Made Possible... Global Tech Giant Google just announced major changes to make Chromebook devices safer for K–12 students—a move that will impact millions of kids worldwide! NCOSE and our partners have been fighting for this change over the past several years, ramping up efforts during the past year of forced virtual schooling. Late last week, our contacts at Google shared that they will be implementing several of our suggestions for making Chromebooks and Google Education products safer for students—a years-long campaign many of you joined with us leading to real policy changes that will impact thousands of youth! |

Changes to Celebrate As of September 1, 2021, the following settings on Google Chromebooks and products for K–12 will be Defaulted to Safety for all under the age of 18.* Google is also launching a new age-based access setting, making it easier for school administrators to tailor the experience for users for services like YouTube, Photos, and Maps. As of September 1, students under 18 will see changes in their Google products. *Can only be changed with administrative privileges. |
