Description
This presentation is brought in conjunction with the Berkshire District Attorney’s Office and Richmond Consolidated School. Educators incorporate EdTech to improve learning; however, EdTech can bring unintended risk to students. Children are being 'datafied' without child or caregiver consent. This datafication can lead to mental health and physical dangers as well as unequitable AI targeting of students while online. This presentation will examine the building blocks of digital privacy; review state and federal laws that dictate students’ privacy rights while interfacing with EdTech; case studies demonstrating the power of datafication of people; and strategies to create a culture of data privacy in schools. Children's safety in classrooms is being jeopardized on a daily basis, through the frequent and routine sharing of student data on EdTech platforms. This presentation, which was included in the ISTE 2024 Conference, provides new insight and applicable tools for EdTech safety.
