While significant improvements have been made, no one feels that the job is done, or that the issue will recede into the background.\r\n\r\nThis session pulls together four distinct perspectives on best practice and experiences ensuring that good educational technology use is grounded in an awareness of student privacy needs.","Description":"In this session, we will look at the current state of best practice in privacy, discuss challenges and potential solutions, and delve into the connections between technology, privacy, learning, and trust. As part of what we discuss and address in the session, we hope to provide practical advice that can be implemented by participants in their schools or organizations. Too often, conversations about privacy remain mired in abstract terms that never move beyond legal compliance with privacy law. Our conversation is grounded in practical implementation, and informed by the experiences supporting teachers use technology in effective and secure ways.\r\n\r\nThis session pulls together four distinct perspectives on best practice and experiences ensuring that good educational technology use is grounded in an awareness of student privacy needs. Fran Newberg is the Deputy Chief in the Office of Educational Technology in the School District of Philadelphia, where she oversees a team of educators that support the effective use of technology resources across the School District of Philadelphia. The resources include Google Apps for Education, Blended Learning programs, the District-wide Instructional Management System and the support and successful integration of computers and mobile devices throughout 218 schools in Philadelphia. Jim Siegl is a Technical Architect at Fairfax County Public Schools. His work there includes designing systems that support the learning environments for approximately 175,000 students and 22,000 faculty and staff. As part of this, Jim has pioneered systems for evaluating privacy and security protections for a range of software and hardware. Jeff Graham is a software developer who has supported Learning Management Systems within higher education, built tools to support multilingual learning environments and peer based learning. He is currently building a suite of tools at Common Sense Media that streamline evaluating policies. Bill Fitzgerald is also part of the team at Common Sense Media; as part of his work there he works with a coalition of school districts (30 and growing) who have been working together on privacy related issues for the last 2 years.","Link":[],"Audience":["High School","Middle School","Elementary School","All School Levels"],"Practice":"In this session, we will share experiences and lessons learned, and what we see as opportunities moving forward. We also want to dedicate a good portion of the event to identifying common issues related to privacy among participants, and addressing these issues. \r\n\r\nPrior to our session, we will also solicit input via Twitter and blog posts about privacy issues faced by students, teachers, parents, and district staff. These concerns will be shared asynchronously prior to the event, and will be incorporated into our presentation. \r\n\r\nAfter the event, in addition to the video archive of the session, we will write out lessons learned, key takeaways, and next steps that were highlighted during the session. We view this session as a single stop on the larger road toward better privacy practice in our learning environments.","Presenter":["Fran Newberg","Jim Siegl","Jeff Graham","Bill Fitzgerald"],"PresenterAffiliation":["School District of Philadelphia","Fairfax Public Schools","Common Sense Media","Common Sense Media"],"PresenterEmail":["bfitzgerald@commonsense.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":61,"ScheduleLocationID":9,"SubmitterID":4735,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":5},{"ID":559,"Class":"Conversation","Created":1446263924,"CreatorID":4735,"RevisionID":null,"Status":"Accepted","Title":"Defining \"Prepared\"","Handle":"defining-prepared","ShortDescription":"If extended, self-propelled, challenging learning experiences are critical preparation for life, what do we mean by \"preparation\"? How can we know whether students have learned how to learn--enough to thrive in the next stage of their education? How can we help them document and demonstrate their readiness?","Description":"That standardized tests don't measure the essence of what we are trying to teach through inquiry has been much discussed. So just what are we trying to teach? How do we know it's been learned? What models and milestones can we hold up for students so they can envision and mark their growth toward being effective independent learners? How do we know whether a student is ready for the coursework he is likely to encounter once he leaves us? How can we know, and how can we show, that a student currently unfamiliar with content x is nonetheless academically mature enough to learn it on her own when needed? No prepared answers to these questions will be offered. The aim is to give you the chance to work with colleagues to form and articulate your own responses. While these questions apply to all ages and subjects, there may be some emphasis on secondary mathematics, since existing measures of \"college-readiness\" in math are particularly specific.","Link":["http:\/\/dangoldner.wordpress.com"],"Audience":["High School","All School Levels"],"Practice":"Combination of modified focus\/framing question protocol with \"build a wiki\" or similar simultaneously-editable document.","Presenter":["Dan Goldner"],"PresenterAffiliation":["Boston Public Schools"],"PresenterEmail":["dangoldner@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":63,"ScheduleLocationID":9,"SubmitterID":4735,"AdditionalComments":"I learned of the existence of EduCon at 10pm on October 30th, and proposals are due Nov 1, so I haven't fully thought through which conversational practices to use.
